  • There is competition here, though. It’s not like it’s a single insurance company monopoly. You can usually get a better deal by shopping around.

    It’s kind of funny you mention this. I just sat down and went through every insurance company I could find (over 15 of them) that are still writing policies here in CA because Geico decided to jack my rates over 20% this renewal. Literally every one of them were within $5 every 6 months of the price Geico is charging me for the renewal.

    Tell me again how I’m supposed to “get a better deal by shopping around”?








  • Just to clarify something… they say it “resets the switch” but some people may not realize in Cisco parlance, that means factory reset, as in wipe it completely and start with a fresh config. It was WAAAY worse than just rebooting it.

    When Express Setup is inadvertently invoked by the protective boot of the cable, these messages are seen in the syslog:

    %SYS-7-NV_BLOCK_INIT: Initialized the geometry of nvram

    %EXPRESS_SETUP-6-CONFIG_IS_RESET: The configuration is reset and the system will now reboot

    %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested by NGWC led process. Reload Reason: Reload command.

    %STACKMGR-1-RELOAD_REQUEST: 1 stack-mgr: Received reload request for all switches, reason Reload command

    %STACKMGR-1-RELOAD: 1 stack-mgr: Reloading due to reason Reload command.

    After this occurs, the device resets. The startup configuration is erased once the device enters Express Setup.






  • As a tesla owner for several years, I find this hard to believe. 15 minutes at a 250 kw charger doesn’t even get you 50%.

    I can go buy a surgery robot but that doesn’t mean I know how to use it. Just because you own a Tesla doesn’t mean you know how to road trip it effectively, or have one that can do what I literally just did. For example, an early Model S or X can only charge at 120KW no matter what charger you plug it into, ergo no, it can’t do this. But any long range or performance model 3 or Y certainly can.

    Part of the reason there’s so many stops (which I prefer and so do my wife and daughter, for that matter), is that if you keep the battery’s charge level between 10 and 50% from hop to hop, you end up spending much less time at chargers in general because you’re always charging at peak or very close to it. Sitting at a charger waiting for that last 10% at like 75kw from 70% - 80% is MUCH slower than hopping on down the road and charging at near peak at the next charger.

    It works, I know for a fact it works, and I brought the receipts! Here’s a few examples from my trip:
