I started re-reading "The Secrets of Insects" by @richardkadrey.bsky.social on Halloween; it seemed like the perfect time for it. I recommend it if you haven't read it.

Eh. 50/50 choice at the third position, oops. Wordle 1,596 4/6 ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟨 ⬛⬛🟩🟨🟨 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

The third was a lucky guess, but I'll take it. Wordle 1,595 3/6 ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Does anyone have opinions on Land Rover Discovery models, particularly the latest version from 2018 on?

Not everyone's cup of tea (Wordle posts), but I've gotten into a nice groove lately. Wordle 1,584 3/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟨🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

As I've gotten older, I'd like to take some vehicle trips; I used to do a lot of solo moto rides when I was younger. I'd like to drive up to Quebec, through Labrador, then to Newfoundland, back to the Maritimes, then home to New Hampshire. 1/2

That was a fortunate selection. Wordle 1,581 2/6 🟨⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I saw a very nice ‘67 VW Fastback today while waiting at a light. It seems so small now compared to the behemoths we now drive. There were even period correct 1967 NH license plates on it.

I will be away for a couple of days and have to decide which camera to take. I'll either take the Leica Q or the Olympus OM-D E-M5 II. The Oly has a little more flexibility if I bring my zoom lens, but the Leica color is so darn good. The Q is lighter has well. Decisions, decisions.

Yesterday I drove the Mach-E Rally down from central NH to the MA/RI line to have dinner with my siblings. The maps said I’d use 50% of the battery each way and would need to charge on the return. Nope, got home with 28% of the battery, about 3.4kWh/mi. I was very impressed.

I saw a car I’d never seen in person — a Toyota Cresta driving on the interstate yesterday. I wonder if they have air suspension because the tail was pretty low. Either that or they had a lot of stuff on board.

I've been testing some coding assistants with a problem that I've already done myself to see how well the assistant will do. They're kind of like this really happy person that wants to do the work, but they're completely inept at it. 1/2

I saw a mint Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor on the highway today with the old white/green single MA plate. An older person was driving, so I bet it's the original owner. I haven't seen one of those in ages. No picture as I was driving.

How good are deepfake AI videos getting? Scary good. This is why groups are working to create international standards for reliable provenance, traceability, and authentication, so you can determine if the video you watched is genuine. The one linked here is false and completely AI-generated.

I saw my first Ineos Grenadier in person on the highway today. I was a big fan of them as I love the "Series" Landys, though mostly the 88 models. I wasn't impressed. 1/x

I’ll be out in San Francisco next week. Unusual for me, I’ll be arriving at 9pm at SFO and staying in the Embarcadero area. Usually in the day I’d take BART; is that the best way at night or what works best?

I went with a different color on my new EV. It was a 2024 leftover, and I’m so glad it’s not black, white, or grey. The C40 was a good car, but I got a really good deal on this one.

Lutnick is showing his whole ass again on Face the Nation right now.

I couldn't be in Brooklyn, but I could buy a shirt to support their future events. There's just a few more days to buy a shirt; more info in the link.

Thanks to John @scalzi.com and @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social for brightening up a grey day in Concord! It was a lot of fun.

I think it's funny that "AI kiddies", a subset (subspecies?) of script kiddies, believe they can whip out an answer to K4.

Just checking; it is still the Gulf of Mexico on Google and Apple maps. Whew. We can't take anything for granted.

I've gotten a bunch of follows, but so many look like bots. Is there a quicker way to go through them other than one by one?

Oh VW. It's important not to store the data collected from your EVs unencrypted on an AWS share. 800,000 cars are affected by this. The article from SPIEGEL (in German) is below, but an English overview is in Jalopnik: jalopnik.com/brothel-visi...

More oops. 32,768 is a very specific number. 🤣

This sounds like something from one of @greatdismal.bsky.social 's books. I assume we don't have to worry until Matsushita-sama's AI wants to be put in a satellite and then takes control of Panasonic.
