This is undoubtedly the most time effort that has ever gone into a visual gag. Should I have spent three (and a half) entire workdays on this? Debatable. But it happened.
And rather than simply leave it like this, I want to get decals made where we'll give it a fake brand. I say "we" becaus...

Howdy!
It's been a minute, huh? I had really hoped to get this video done before June ran out, but I ran into a research snag which turned into a nasty form of writer's block. The snag ended up being very stupid which I am embarrassed by but hey - it's done!
It's taken me too long to get this process rolling, but with some very generous help I've finally gotten... in gear.

Yeah so I'll be honest up front: this is something between a remake and a rerun.
I've been meaning to get this video out there for a while as something I keep seeing over and over again is the insistence that electric cars "need" 50A charging circuits which just isn't true. Long-time viewe...

So I'm in the middle of the classic "this will be a simple video - ha ha nope" moments but I'm nearing the end of production on it. I may very well not have it done by the weekend but I'm blocking off Saturday at 3:00 PM Central for the next livestream (that's 8:00 PM UTC).

The day before I finished the latest video, I met some folks in Milwaukee. Since a lot of... really strange ideas about what using electric cars must be like have been floating around on Bluesky I decided to film the experience.

Thank you so much for your feedback, everyone. I made several changes to the video and removed some of the pieces that were admittedly a little too self-indulgent.

Yup. I explain in the opening what my intent is here, but I'll add a couple of things. First, there's mild profanity. If that bothers you, be warned (and I kind of want to test how YouTube treats that and whether I need to censor it, which also means it's monetized which I usually don't do with P...

Apparently 2024 is on its way out - which doesn’t seem possible! But unless my calendar is lying to me, that is in fact the case. I’ve never been one to do year-in-review type posts or anything like that, and boy has this been... a year - but it has genuinely b...
