Clearly I need to try on fresh legs for the hour mark, but I'm damn sure his descending skills far surpass mine 
Are we talking Belcher -> Mav -> Longhorn? Just want to make sure...
Turns out that the local bodyshop that Esurance suggested isn't certified to work on Teslas. This is a problem because if they couldn't paintless-dent-repair the fender and repair the two cracks in the bumper cover then they aren't allowed to order Tesla parts. From the photo they aren't certain if Esurance's "it'll all buff right out" estimate is realistic.
Therefore I shall instead be trekking all the way over to a sister shop in their same chain in Littleton, a shop that is certified.
Still easier than sourcing parts for a 993, I suppose...

Yes, definitely. I think I was just under 40 minutes to the start of Maverick.Yes. Belcher, Maverick, Longhorn, Whippletree, Belcher back to lot. My reported times are likely a minute or two short of reality due to how the segment is defined, in full disclosure.
I may have... back when Maverick didn't exist. And we didn't keep track of how long shit took us.
But I still doubt it.
Deer Creek is a nice example of what the e-bike does and doesn't:
Pedal-only day vs the same loop assisted
With just me powering the bike:
2:03:30 moving time
1:31:48 (71% of time) climbing
140 bpm best 20 min heart rate
151W estimated weighted average power
E-biking:
1:23:29 moving time
56:47 (68% of time) climbing
152 bpm best 20 min heart rate
278W
So I was out there 40 minutes less, all of which was hacked off the climbing (as one would expect), and actually worked a bit harder during that time when on the e-bike.

But you spend less time on the bike!
mmmmmmm
you are about 12 buzzwords short of a good "blog" article
That one phrase was enough to get work to buy it for me.
I hope it works. I bolted everything up but didn’t have time to even boot to bios. Need an OS and don’t have an optical drive, so am hoping my IT person can conjure up a Windows install on a USB stick.
Water cooling reduces bulk in one place but introduces complexity. I had to move the radiator twice to clear a shroud on the mobo and because the cpu power plug was blocked. The front panel connectors are the bane of my existence as usual, but at least I had the proper standoff for the M.2 drive this time around. Gah.

The robots are coming. At first they will only work besides us but at some point the value we add will be negligible.

Pretty much. We need to make sure we have to healthy hobbies for all the free time.
I already add only negligible value and I don't even work with a robot. Eat shit, dystopian future!
You can download a Windows 10 ISO file for free from Microsoft: https://pureinfotech.com/download-windows-10-iso-without-media-creation-tool/
I've always used Rufus to make USB OS installs: https://rufus.ie/
The IT lady supposedly has a USB stick for me ready to pick up this afternoon, which is even easier ultimately.
Good IT person.The IT lady supposedly has a USB stick for me ready to pick up this afternoon, which is even easier ultimately.
It lives! Booted up to the Windows installer after fighting the bios for a few tries, and everything seems in order.
The only thing I had to change was to swap out the modular cable for the gpu to the one with two 8 pin plugs, as the 2080 Ti demands that (worked to get to bios but gave me an error then).
It’s nice when things go smoothly as hoped for.

I will cart it on home at some point. Maybe Friday morning? Then it shall be graced with Matlab and Fallout 3/NV/4 alike.So what games have you been playing
I haven't played video games in probably 2.5 years, though. Too much shit to do, movies to see, books to read, papers to write.
Didn't you just build a computer like 6 months ago for Fallout 4?
That was winter 2015-2016!Didn't you just build a computer like 6 months ago for Fallout 4?
Huh......Time flies I guess?
We're gonna have to start calling you Crashy McCrashface.
Interesting how the model 3 came out and dick punched them all. Also surprising that that many have been made.
Also surprising how many i3's there are on there. It's always funny seeing one. Crazy people who would spend that much for so little.
And hasn't the Volt been axed? Also surprising seeing as how it lead the numbers for most of that. It's also not a bad looking car, in my opinion (unlike the leaf and some prius).

Electrics are effected by weather. True story. When the contract specifies 275 miles at 10 degrees then it’s all on the manufacturer to make it right.
Also note Albuquerque rejecting and returning theirs! Eating return freight on a bunch of buses is huge for BYD, not to mention losing the sale in the first place.

So much time wasted on the effort of getting a green, lush lawn.
Today I mowed, edged (until the head ran out of string), blew (until the mismatched Makita batteries I grabbed croaked), and then used a handheld battery powered (of course) broadcast spreader to overseed/reseed the lawn. There’s a very geometric-shaped 9 x 12’ dead patch in the back, too, which I suspect was caused by the landscaping crew in December when they were laying down gravel paths back at the time when they erected the shed.
I’ll put up with this for a few more years, but if this level of effort doesn’t yield the results I want (and this year’s results are a C overall, IMO) I’ll go the AstroTurf route, at least for the back lawn.

I just yelled downstairs, "Mow the fucking lawn, you ingrates!" An hour later... lawn was done.
How is the soil quality? Have you tried with buying some top soil? Just adding more grass seeds with not solve soil problems? And the right amount of water is key too.
