Today @raleighgov.bsky.social launched a new Utility payment portal. By the time the SMS OTP/2FA reaches my phone the web session has timed out.

I am angry, disappointed, & crushed with @bouletbrothers.bsky.social elimination of Priscilla Chambers from Titans S2.
If I ever needed a sign that the show lost its roots, this extermination proved it.
She was Filth & Horror & poignant & unforgettable, something you'd have lauded in past seasons.

Not gonna lie: I LOVE these Rivian Adventure Network chargers in Roanoke, VA. 6x DC and 3 or 4 AC (11kW) stations at the Earth Fare grocery store. Tap card and plug in, easy peasy. The interface was clean and simple, the cost was reasonable (especially for the speed: fastest local stations).

The #Kia #12v drama continues: new battery has leaked acid and corroded the painted metal clamp holding it in + gone dead and car wont start. Was towed to dealer last night, who told me ICCU recall is still open (but also car is certified by Kia with 100k warranty).
