[FRIAM] DOGEQuest

There used to be this thing called the White Pages.  Somehow life went on.

Not clear on the construction of your link?  Is it a bit.ly like hash run by 
the onion?

With a tiny bit of research I now understand that .onion TLD addressses are 
only accessible through the TOR browser...  Is .onion a twilight-web (vs 
darkweb)?

original article?

I recommend the following to reluctant/ashamed Tesla Owners:

Doxing in general is chilling even when inadvertent or "mild".   In 2020 I was 
(mildly) shocked to discover that voter-registration data at the address level 
is publicly available.   Of the 4 houses on our lane, every one had one 
"independent" and the second registration was split between Donkeys and 
Elephants.   Unfortunately "independent" in the other (besides myself) cases 
almost assuredly maps onto rabid-liberatarian crypto-conservative 2nd 
amendment.  Those registered Red/Blue were the women.  And I think any one on 
the lane looking this info up would come to the same conclusions.  Our bumper 
stickers are small but definitely not MAGA.  I hate even having to be 
registered.   There seems to be some ambiguity between "independent" and 
"unaffiliated"... I think "independent" sometimes means "Indepenent Party", 
other times it means "unaffilliated"?   messy, ambiguous?

My daughters both finally went EV about 1.5 years ago.  YungerDotter opted 
into TSLA for myriad reasons unrelated to being a Muskophile.   She works in a 
fairly young/startup techBro company in Denver where their ModelY doesn't 
stand out in the parking lot at all and they live in a semi-MAGA neighborhood 
of Denver (Parker) where the neighbors are more likely to give them a thumbs 
up for their "choice". Her partner is a project manager for a Raytheon 
division doing satellite tasking.  The Model Y is also not out of place in 
that parking lot and at least half of his peers are probably rabid proMusk if 
not proMAGA or DOGE.   So they aren't acutely worried about much vandalism/etc 
at either end of their commute(s) but it has made them acutely aware of a lot 
of things they had been able to not think too much about previously.  They are 
both counter-aligned with DOGE/MAGA/MUSK in virtually every way and this is 
just one more reminder of the impedance mismatch in their work/home choices. 
They both plead Golden Handcuffs.  Dotter is considering leaving the (clearly 
questionable) realm of data-center development to join the Japanese iSpace 
lunar-robotics company (branch in Denver).   She's struggling with what that 
spiritual trade-space looks like.  Or she could go back to pushing liquor, 
mortgages, or managing trust-fund-babies' money for them?

elderDotter went with the bargain Bolt used from Hertz.   She fits right in in 
Portland, on both ends of her commute and everywhere in between.   I suspect 
the depreciation of her sister's TSLA exceeds the entire purchase price (with 
incentives) of the Bolt.  If NIH funding (esp for virology and third-world 
viruses at that) tanks (RKjr) she will be very glad not to have taken on a new 
silly debt the size of a TSLA.

FWIW, they *both* manage a roughly 60 mile RT commute 4-5 days a week with 
Level 1 charging at home only... (couple of bucks per RT)  they need a weekend 
day to catch up for the slow daily deficit of charge.   Keeping the battery 
even more mid-range than the defaults is also a good strategy for battery 
life.   I do wish on each of them a DIY PV/inverter setup strictly for their 
EV charging for a (near) carbon-neutral commute...   but I'm not living close 
enough to effect this for them directly.

<double-tangent>

My own EV adventure includes my near end-of-life Volt PHEV.   I bought it at 
166k (in 2017) with a failing traction battery and put in (non-trivial) a 95k 
used battery which after about 60k miles is now struggling (I'm able to manage 
it with various techniques which I would not wish on anyone else) but no 
longer can get the EV-only trips I used to...  I pretty much have to burn 
.1-.3 gallons of petrol with every RT to LA, Espanola, Pojoaque.   As the 
weather warms, this may get better.   I picked up Ford's bargain version with 
low miles a few weeks ago and it will displace the otherwise happy Prius I 
bought for Mary a couple of years ago.  It also (by design limits) wants to 
burn a tiny bit of gas for most RTs from home... most notably the 2500' climb 
to Los Alamos.   The Ford battery is just over 1/2 the capacity of the Volt 
(when new) but at half the mileage, it performs nearly as well.   Both 
vehicles are showing a roughly 70mpg equivalent over their lifetimes, but my 
idiosyncratic use is constantly raising that average...

I'm looking for a homeless person (to gift it to) with regular access to a 110 
outlet as the HVAC, entertainment system, and bucket seats are still good 
enough to live in, and the EV range would allow for a few miles of daily 
excursion or occasional relocation.

Unfortunately my Hypershell exo isn't able to fully make up for my recovery 
limitations or I'd be "jogging" to Pojoaque for groceries with a backpack? 2 
hr round trip with only about 5lbs of tech overburden (maybe 8 if you include 
good sturdy shoes and helmet if I start running too fast).   With my HMD and a 
brain interface helmet I could maybe be reading/responding to FriAM while the 
Exo FSD feature navigates me to/from the market... maybe even knows the route 
inside the store so all I have to do is reach out and pluck my groceries on 
command.   If I had a humanoid robot, I wouldn't have to go at all and if I 
shifted to HUEL or SOYLENT could skip that visit at all.. Just a 50lb bag of 
nutrients delivered monthly?

What is the line where I become it's meat-puppet or am deprecated entirely? 
>From what I see of the homeless and DOGE/MAGA aspirations, the homeless folks 
are in line for deprecation before me but after immigrants.

I admit it's a bit chilling.
