In another recent post, I shared what I learned from going all-electric and taking my travel trailer off-grid for a week. Now, I want to explain to readers what it took to teach my older camper new tricks. It took a surprising amount of hard, intricate work to do this, … [continued]
Today, we’re going to take a trip through the Stargate, a really cool plot device in a fictional universe now owned by Amazon. But, for readers who are super serious (and fellow writers who have wooden objects lodged in the worst places), I’m going to promise right now that we’ll … [continued]
With Tesla’s disastrous quarterly results, it’s pretty clear that the company is actually in trouble. Despite years of poor product decisions (the Cybertruck is stacking up on Tesla property due to lack of buyers—something we warned you about in 2019), the company’s good decisions on things like powertrains, reliable charging, … [continued]
