An incredible run... My best half is exactly an hour slower. And I'm pretty confident I cannot run one 4:20min mile.

Ya, I watched this last night and it is definitely an interesting idea. A 600hp NA 911 sounds like a fantastic idea :)

Reread what I originally wrote...

I was, in fact, expressing how silly it is for someone to assume the Cybertruck owner was a Nazi or wanting to suck off Elon. That it couldn't possibly be owned by someone that loves EVs or the Cybertruck for their own reasons not within the narrow narrative associated with someone that would purchase such a vehicle assumed in this thread.

That's all the more effort I'm putting into this.

Seems a question you'd have to ask the person that bought it, not me.

I think everything about them is stupid. EVs in general do not fit my use case.

I do track days / time trials in my fun car I tow a boat and haul stuff with my truck (sometimes hundreds of miles). I guess if I could have a third commuting car a EV might work, but I use my motorcycle for that whenever possible.

You can have my upvote, but commenting here risks the echo chamber that is Lemmy to attack this comment too.

This place is perfectly OK stooping as low as the "other side". Our violence is justified, theirs is not. Under no circumstance is the owner of that Cybertruck owned by someone that LOVES EV's and just loves its looks/capabilities. They absolutely must have bought it because they support Nazi's, no other reason. Everyone else here is virtuously perfect.

So each 'side' of America keeps stepping lower, justifying it by the previous act bringing us deeper into this hell we're building in real time.

For the record, Elon can go f%$k himself, but under no circumstances am I going to inflict violence/anger on a random AMERICAN going about their day in their stupid Cybertruck.

I'm banking on my 2008 Toyota Tundra will just keep on being a Toyota and not need to be replaced for a LONG LONG time.

Yep, all connected /same garbage IMHO I was a big DSM (Diamond Star Motors) fan back in the mid/late 90's had a couple AWD Talons.

There's exactly zero chance I'd buy a car that showed me ads.

There was already zero chance I'd buy a Stellantis vehicle anyway after buying a brand new 1999 Dodge Durango that started rusting out sitting on our garage.

And while they did the bare minimum to remove the rust, but they didnt stand behind it. There was no way we were keeping it or buying anything else from them.

I use an Ecowitt weather station and sensors inside and out.

And I use weewx on a Raspberry Pi to publish that data. Weewx also has a mqtt plugin so I created a weather topic and transmit all the sensors onto it.

Then I created all those sensors in HA :)

Unless you're a weather nerd and wanna go that route there's probably better ways. I was already using Ecowitt devices independent of my smart home stuff.

A number of esp32 based devices have temp sensors too. Or gpio pins to add a 1wire or 3wire sensor.

For what? I'm using Nextcloud self hosted on unraid and exposed via Nginx Proxy Manager for external access for storage.

Works fine.

I have not upgraded to the 2025 HA yet because of the backup drama of the first release. Probably will this weekend now that the major issues were addressed.

Unrelated to this topic but also zigbee2mqtt v2 seems to be a nightmare too I'm not ready to deal with that "upgrade"

Not sure if your messing or not :) but this is a Focus RS!

I am now in life where I could probably acquire one but they're just not many unmolested ones left. Not sure I'd try at this point
