Same with my Kia EV9. I keep it between 20–80%, plugging it into the L2 charger at home at most once a week for <$10 a pop. No urge to go back.

Even long road trips are perfectly feasible with just a little bit of planning.

Happy St. David’s Day to my friends in Wales—Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

“Gwnewch y pethau bychain” (do the little things) feels more relevant than ever these days, no matter where you are.

Clearly the plural should be “meyers lemon.” 😉

Always fun to re-watch (while ignoring its travesty of a direct-to-DVD movie finale).

That’s a beautiful bridge style.

Looks very similar to the “New” London Bridge (1831) which was sold off to Robert P. McCulloch in 1968 and now stands in Lake Havasu, AZ, USA (even if he only used the exterior masonry).

Similar to the Arlington Memorial Bridge in Washington, D.C., as well.

I miss my portable Aiwa MiniDisc player, circa 2001. That is all.

A beautiful church in a village I hold dear. I briefly lived in Coddenham and worshipped at St. Mary’s as a child, spending a lot of time reading the stories on its walls. Thank you for reminding me of this one.

Google News included a headline for “A drunk raccoon left a trail of bottles strewn across the floor of a liquor store in Ashland, Virginia” alongside coverage of Pete Hegseth.

A screenshot of what Google News saw as related coverage of Pete Hegseth yesterday—maligning a comparatively harmless raccoon.

Definitely a thing; something I’ve seen in my family (that & a host of fun EDS co-morbidities).

A photo of a large Victoria Crowned Pigeon from below. It’s standing on a taut rope in light rain, with a background of rainforest foliage. Its red eyes and fancy plumage make it a very striking looking bird!

My favorite photo from our family trip to the aquarium here in Copenhagen, Den Blå Planet, yesterday: a Victoria Crowned Pigeon (Goura victoria) hanging out in the rainforest.

(Many thanks to @sasajuric.bsky.social for the recommendation; we had a great time!)

Next trip: #Goatmire Elixir in Varberg, Sweden. I’m on the way in less than a week, and spending the rest of the trip in & around Copenhagen.

I feel this way with emacs and magit, fwiw. I hate sacrificing my tastes for productivity, but I’m too often using something I wouldn’t use otherwise.

But… at least it’s Elixir these days!

Travel all booked for Goatmire Elixir!

It turned into a bit of a family trip to Copenhagen as well—happy to finally take my family to one of my favorite cities.
