They quarantined before the trip, my youngest brother has been working from home and we've been doing the same. Middle brother and his girlfriend are idiots so they haven't and I know they aren't wearing masks like they're supposed to. Did family photos Sunday night when they rolled into town then hung out with them yesterday afternoon, hanging out with them again today I think. We're outside and I'm distancing what I can but I feel guilty for not wearing a mask, mostly when middle brother is around. Stress of that and socializing for the first time in ~9 months is wearing me the gently caress out.

I'm going to see if they ever come to south east races and see if I can rent a seat for a weekend. I've done the math for battery capacity/weight/price to have equal performance in a formula ford and it really isn't that bad...especially if I get the cells in bulk overseas or buy used. A couple hot-swap packs and you're set. I guess downside is bringing a larger generator to the track and one gas can instead of small generator and four or more gas cans. trouser chili posted:Same. I also own a bunch of guns and never talk about them. Some of them I’ve acquired as trade on cars I’ve flipped. It’s not that uncommon in Missouri, guns are like currency in certain circles round here.

I miss sleep. I'm up every day at 3-4am for no reason, even on days I go into work I don't leave the house until around 6:15. Sometimes it's back pain, other times it's dogs being assholes and others I'm just wide awake for no reason. On the upside I get some undisturbed gaming time and a couple cups of coffee before I even have to think about getting ready for work.

IOwnCalculus posted:Yep. If $80k will get you a 625hp electrotruck today, I'll be extremely happy if $30-40k would buy a 200-300hp smaller electrotruck without all the suspension bits in another five or ten years. IOwnCalculus posted:I'm also hoping that at some point by then they've figured out a reasonable way to solve range-while-towing issues. Until then, [small turbodiesel noises]. slothrop posted:Yeah, I'll be okay, thanks for checking in.

IOwnCalculus posted:The vast majority of my towing is local and short range so realistically it's not something I'd need often. But one of the reasons we bought this truck was to be able to haul a trailer from Phoenix to Flagstaff, which is ~150 miles one way and a net climb of ~6000 feet, with at least two major climbs in between. I expect EV range would be utterly murdered on that road. A trailer alone is going to kill your range, add in elevation and even with massive regen on the downhills you'd either be looking for a quick charger or need some form of range extender. Regenerative trailer brakes would be an interesting option as long as it doesn't add too much weight, heck the trailer could carry some batteries as well. I have the range extender in the i3 and it's really nice to have the few times I've needed it.

kastein posted:I wear a p100 half face mask to go to home depot for this reason. And if I actually was going into a workplace every day for 8 hours I'd be wearing a PAPR or at least a full face respirator to do so. I just started going back into work in the last couple weeks, only one or two days to minimize risk. I and everyone else in the area wear masks the entire time but I'm the only one in a N95. With cases nationwide going back up way too quickly I'm about to call it again and go back to only WFH. I hate it, we could have been past this poo poo or at least in a way better position but instead we're just getting lazy and stupider about it because everyone is so worn down by this point.

Those are some great looking trucksFerremit posted:... depression Last day of vacation. It's been nice ignoring social media and the world for the most part. A lot less stressed than when we set off Sunday morning. I'd be nearly stress free if it wasn't for the dog sitter being iffy at communicating and me worrying about the drat dogs the entire time. He's a good guy and a friend but  I did not want to be worried about them the entire trip. We'd have a brother watch them, four between us, but the only one we'd trust lives two hours away and has to visit customer sites so he can't be fully WFH.
