It's time for another electric vehicle charging video.
Too many people believe EV charging solutions require expensive, huge electric circuits (or worse: service upgrades).
The really high-power ones people tend to go with can be a headache, but there are many other options!

Saying that the Met Office's new weather predicting supercomputer is "cloud based" is a bit ambiguous ... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The saddest thing about OK Go videos is that anyone who doesn't know will assume they're rendered and miss why the film they're watching is so extraordinary.

Currently on a single monitor as my usual main one is being repaired due to an irritating design fault (or something?) that causes vertical scanlines to appear once a week. Starting to come back to the "one huge ass monitor" camp from the "dual monitor" one.
