I’m not familiar with Lora or other RF systems. Can they adjust temperatures too?

My other vehicle is from 1976… I love it and I love the ability for me to fix it without plugging a computer in.

Walking a 1/4 mile in cold wind to a warm car that’s already defrosted is pretty amazing though. And I’m vehemently against subscriptions where possible, so I get the hatred towards connected cars as well.

I use mine all the time. I have about a 1/4 mile walk to get to my car, I like to start it in winter to heat up, or summer to cool down before I get to it.

It’s a luxury, but one I enjoy.

But it’s more than just temperature. Add salinity to the equation. I can’t tell you how salinity of any particular place changes with a temperature change, but it does. Add current, add all the other chemicals that are dropped into the ocean….

How does every coral on the the Great Barrier Reef know to spawn one time a year? How does a turtle find its way back to the place they were born to lay eggs? There are nuances well beyond our understanding and will outlive us. Coral will come back, but perhaps not in its current form, and probably not in our lifetimes.

I’ve met them, they fucked up someone else’s boat in the marina I was at, they didn’t offer to fix or help pay, they just bailed. They definitely fit into the asshole category, in my opinion.

I heard you could train your dog to tell you when they need out by putting a bell on the door. I didn’t have a bell, but did have empty beer can and random nuts and bolts.

She learned to knock over my beer if she wants out.

Found a photo of the bridge on it.

That’s the ship that hit the bridge. It’s still there as I write this, but there are a bunch of tugs on scene right now.

Marine traffic can show you all the active AIS contacts in real time.

I’ve lived on a sailboat for 10ish years. It’s similar, but has its own different issues. I would say that the work I do on my boat to maintain it is similar to a house, in terms of time with yard work etc. RV’s are probably similar.

It’s a freeing life, if you don’t like your neighbor, drive to somewhere else (buy a boat/RV that is capable of moving). You can live cheaply, and save a bunch of money. But if you’re thinking long term, the key is to save/invest that money. Eventually you’ll be too old to live that life, and retirement plan/savings/kids will need to help.

It’s not an investment in the sense of increasing value; land and property will pretty much always increase in value. Your RV will not. Your money going into that life is like rent, it doesn’t help you in the future. Without getting into mortgages front-loading interest, land/property will help you financially in the future.

That being said, I LOVE my life. But it is a lifestyle, it’s not for everybody. I couldn’t imagine living in a house right now.

Only way to know is if you try it. “We feel more comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they are not.”

Littlejohn… friend of Robinhood?

This fat.

That sounds like a Sony problem to me. Who ever I paid, gives me the refund. If they have to go get it from someone else, that’s their problem.

You can? How? I’ve fumbled around looking for this but always get the “you’re not connected to the internet”.

Let him keep talking. “Don’t interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake”.

I have poop-tongs. I live on a boat and my dog poops on the deck, so I throw them off by using poop tongs. I keep them separate from where I have my grill accessories.

Vizslas are the best!
