Jazz.

I feel the same way about Charles Bukowski. I can read, understand and appreciate the books without liking the guy. He also paints himself in a negative picture, but the thoughts are still worth considering or just knowing of. Whether or not it's intended, I think it's okay for litterature to provoke the reader to think that the author is wrong or plain crazy, because at least it makes me think about stuff instead of just entertaining my existing views.

I did read Lila 25 yeas ago, but I hardly remember it. It's been a long time since I last read any books at all. Perhaps I ought to give it a second chance.

It's worth a read.

I think it's often frowned upon for being somewhat of a naive juvenile pocket philosophical rambling, or the dairy of a madman, but I'd say that it introduces some valid points about the concept of quality that you can then think about yourself.

It's definitely on my top 10 list of books. Not because it's great, but because I can often relate to it in miscellaneous situations even 30 years after reading it.

Their people?

The mentioned cars are somewhat outdated.

You might also want to consider newer models like Renault 5, Skoda Elroq or Hyundai Ioniq.

Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

That's a pretty neat FPS for a tv.

Yes patterns, but also basic physical resonance.

Sounds in harmony creates more powerful standing waves which will affect your cochlea more than noise.

Whether that is also more pleasant will depend on context, but music will definitely get your attention more easily than random sounds due to this basic physical property.

Pretty much everything in the universe are frequencies. Things that resonate are simply more powerful better than things that don't.

My guess would be yes, somewhat, probably. but maybe not much. As he says in the last part of the video: If it gets hot, you have a problem.

Better ask an electrician.

The devices sold as "EV wall chargers" are not really chargers. They're simple power suppliy units, whether or not it has bells and whistles to time the charging and what not.

The actual battery charger is in the car. It will attempt to suck as much energy from the PSU as it can and it will itself balance the load and all that. Having a separate unit also trying to regulate the load seems like something that will inevitably create more heat than necessary somewhere in that chain.

Generally speaking you do not need to protect the car from unstable supply. It will protect itself.

I will still recommend getting a proper "EV charger" to ensure that it can utilize all the phases unlike a regular garage plug. Also to ensure that it is properly grounded, which can be an issue for some cars.

At least here in Europe, where we have 3 phases. It's much better to have all 3 phases wide open and let the car suck a little on each, instead of having it overloading a single phase through a granny plug.

I know the American 2 phase circuit is different, but I still believe it's better not to put any more heat inducing obstructions in the chain.

It's not fucking overkill. There's no such thing.

I'm really disappointed with the video. That dude usually knows his shit, but he's way off the mark here. It's just plain wrong.

Getting a smaller charger might save a few hundred, but it will also increase your chances of burning the house down. Good fucking advise, huh.

Fuck that. You'll always want to charge as fast as your main circuit breaker will allow.

Oh sure the technique of storing heat in stone is valid. Again, the Finnish have used it for long time in oven design. It's possible to get modern soap stone ovens for this purpose.

It could be interesting in a smaller scale or off grid purposes, but you'd still need solar panels as a source.

I doubt it's worth saving heat from a wood stove. It'd be better to burn less wood to begin with. Some of the modern pellet ovens are very efficient for that.

They use this system to convert excess renewable electricity to heat for storage to be used in the district heating system. There's probably a lot of loss in comparison to a regular battery, so the point is to utilize excess the electrify. It makes perfect sense in Finland because their electricity is a lot cleaner than their heating.

Most modern cars have hill assist, but it might still be a help to use the handbrake when starting on a hill, or at least know how to do it.
