I love Pocket Casts and have been a long time paid user of the app. Just got a notification this week that the price of PocketCasts is going from $9.99 to $39.99/year. A huge jump in price that was totally unexplained and not really justified by prices. Guess I’ll go back to a free user and continue to use the app.

Nice! Thanks for the detailed review. We looked at the Mach E, but my wife hated the look. Also at the time (and even still) Ford dealers were hanging ridiculous mark ups on any units they had on the lot. 

What EV did you switch to and how do you like it compared to the Passport? 

I do the same, but still do some raking and leaf transport. My yard is fenced and bordered by several large maples. There's a coue of corners where leaves just pile up and can't be mowed over. Otherwise the Honda mower I bought years ago has great mulching capability for all the leaves on the lawn. 

Make moar Maverick Hybrids! I’m averaging almost 48 mpg in mine. 

I’d say it’s in anticipation of them coming out and looking like butt in plain stainless. That said, Tesla hasn’t given any real indication that they’ll actually sell the stupid Cybertruck. 

Yes, but they’re a joke. Just look at the monster trucks and SUVs that the domestic US manufacturers put out. Pedestrian fatalities are at all time high, but it’s fine because you can’t have pop up headlights. 

I know a guy in Rhode Island that does minor caretaking tasks for people’s second homes while they’re away for the winter. In exchange he gets a garage bay for his various other vehicles. He keeps a Shelby mustang in one bay of my Aunt’s summer home and has a motorcycle in the garage across the street. 

Amen. Though on really cold days the propane grill can be hard to heat up to the right temp. Always good to have a charcoal option for those days.

Never short Tesla stock. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain remain solvent. 

MF DOOM made a song about this universal stupidity.

I hate Newark. Got stuck on that awful monorail for hours once and missed a flight. I do really like that you can get an AMTRAK right from the station. I've flexed to the Acela a few times after flight cancelation due to weather. For that reason I can't call it the worst. 

My wife uses Electrify America for her ID. 4 as much as possible, mostly because it’s free for our first three years of ownership. There are a few nicely located on her commute and near our house, so very convenient. And so far, there hasn’t been any delay in charging. I’m guess that could change if EV adoption keeps…

I have heard the expression in “Yankee Craftsmanship” a few times in my years in Massachusetts. The expression is sarcastic and refers to people who hack the work together. It gets done, but is it done right? Bonus points in that a lot of older homes express several stunning examples of Yankee Craftsmanship.

Wall paper has been back for while, usually as a way to add pop to a smaller or less used room (think office, half bath). I haven’t seen it returning to it’s prior glory of covering all the walls. 

The service at my closest Popeyes is decent, but it doesn't look busy enough to remain open long term. 

So a handful of essentially hand built rigs hauling mostly air? Impressive.

Super fast development? Where is that semi? Where is the new roadster? Where is the Cyber truck? 

I wonder how much I’m saving on gas honestly. Probably something, but I also installed a home charger, and that was not cheap.

Maybe it’s because the others don’t have a track record of repairs yet, but a Tesla was at least 3x more expensive than other options. The Bolt EUV and the VW ID.4 were about the same to insure (the only ones I inquired about).
