Yea, buying new barely made sense even when there was a tax credit, but that's why I leased. Hyundai Motor Finance is going to be getting a big haircut next year.
Will probably turn in and buy an identical Ioniq 5 used, because beyond the minor cost savings it's been a really nice daily driver.
The reduced efficiency at highway speed, plus ~2-3x cost to do L3 charging, means that 30% of my cost comes from just ~15% of my miles.
The math kind of surprises me, thought there would be a bigger gap. If you get into maintenance or registration fees of EV vs. ICE, the math probably gets a lot fuzzier than I really would have expected.
Some back-of-the-napkin EV Math over 1 year/12k mi of ownership:
Spent a total of $950 charging the car, and while 66% of the cost is home charging, I'd estimate it accounts for ~90% of the miles.
Compared to the Audi (premium gas), in the year before the EV, I spent about $1280 in gas

Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker on the first day of shooting.
50 years ago today, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social was preparing to film his first scene in a small film called Star Wars. Before the first lines were spoken, this photo was taken in... a galaxy far far away.
Was getting overwhelmed by a developer making HUGE PRs. with all kind of strange mistakes, and thought I was losing my mind because of the kinds of changes they were making.
Then I realized that this code was certainly written by AI, and now we have a massively bloated codebase that makes no sense
Yeah we’re furries but it really is something that we create personal avatars for ourselves in a constant state of identity and re-invention.
“This is how I see myself and how I’d like you to see me too” is the basis for our community. And we kindly, joyfully agree to it.
Our parent company does this thing where they continually update Meeting invites, continually changing the title&time, to be like "TOMORROW: Meet Mr. Boss", "TODAY: Meet Mr. Boss", "SOON: Meet Mr. Boss", so no matter how many times you decline, it lands back on your calendar

Miro might be one of my favorite modern pieces of software. Even though they've tried to push in AI, it still hasn't enshittified anything

Virtually every poll of Americans since ~2015 has looked virtually exactly like this:
"Do you think this obviously good thing should happen?
Yes: 65%
No: 35%"
Then headlines will go: "30% of Americans think we should do bad thing. Here's how gov't should make it happen"
Hey, you deserve time off
Why not!

Sometimes I miss the days of old pop-up window ads. At least they wouldn't take over the entire page like today's ads.
There was an age where large, animated, and pop-ups were the sign of a bad site. Google actually de-ranked those sites. Adwords was literally just "ads that are only words"
☑︎ Couch co-op

☑︎ corny

If you like adult Superhero anime, even if just a little bit, you have to play dispatch.
It’s honestly more anime than game, with eight ~40-min episodes, each with maybe 15 mins of actual “game” per episode.
But the show itself is good enough, that it’s easily worth the $30 to kill a weekend.
This cross fox will be available this weekend at AnthroExpo! Design by opalmutt!
Is this couch multiplayer, or...?
