  • I’m a real estate advisor so definitely non-technical though I do consider myself more familiar with the workings of computers and most other tech than the average person. I’m familiar with the Linux command line at a basic level and have run Linux on my PCs before. I’m also somewhat concerned about online privacy and frustrated over how capitalism is largely destroying the best things about the internet, something which seems to have accelerated as of late…




  • While it’s true that Toyota is pretty far behind other car manufacturers in pure battery EVs, they still have the best hybrid drivetrain around by miles and they have great plug-in hybrids. I just got a RAV4 Prime and I love it. It has around 40-50 miles of electric only range and then switches to hybrid mode if you drain the battery before recharging where it gets 60 MPG and can go over 500 miles on a tank. Honestly my commute is way less than 50 miles so I drive electric around 90% of the time. The only time I kick in the gas engine is for longer trips and especially on road trips it’s nice not to have to worry about finding charging stations and waiting an hour or two for a charge.





  • Longboarding is a hobby I picked up a few years ago and it’s a ton of fun. Just riding along you feel like you’re floating over the pavement and the feeling is addicting. You can get e-boards if you’re not into pushing but I haven’t gone down that road yet since they seem heavier and more expensive. Also, most of them you can’t push and you have to rely on your battery and motor so if you run out m, you’re stuck. Some companies like the one I bought my board from (Bustin) make hybrid boards but they’re pricey.
