Me: Can add the cricket for a month to my TV package?
TV people: Youāll need to sign up to a premium TV package and then add the cricket on. It will cost you 10 times what you are currently paying for TV if you sign up for a 12 month contract.

I should probably say that as the maker of Turbo Admin (https://turbo-admin.com) I feel pretty qualified to talk about #WordPress command palettes: building them, naming them, and marketing them.
I have opinions.
And Iām available for interviews and podcast appearances!

Why did the cricket people have to use the term DRS?
I donāt know if Iām watching cricket or F1 these days! š
Boring EV numbers
First longish drive in the Ioniq today. 70 miles. Mostly motorway with some hilly rural roads.
I SHOULD get 5 miles per kWh.
So that should be 14kWh
Thatās about 36% of our battery.
I charged it up to 80% on Weds and itās currently on 32%.
So thatās 12% unaccounted for = 4.7kWh = 23.5miles
I reckon weāve done 18 other miles since I charged.
So the numbers are good to within about 5miles out of 90.
Pretty good!!
We should REALLY get up to 190miles from this thing!
PSA: If you have Dependabot alerts for āsemverā and Dependabot canāt patch them for youā¦
Before you get into a horrible JS dependency mess, WAIT A FEW DAYS!
It looks like a bunch of popular tools are locked to semver v5.x and v6.x, but theyāve only patched v7.5.x
Babelās team will fork and back port the fix soon if the semver maintainers donāt.
I consider this my contribution to WordPress 6.3. In more ways than one!

People really should test animate-on-scroll properly.
They even say itās not āAIā!
āItās different from most AI systems, he said, because it doesnāt require pre-trained models or extensive image labeling, and quickly analyzes unsupervised data.ā

Sheesh!! š
Hey news people and people writing press releasesā¦
Can we stop referring to āalgorithmsā as AI?
I mean, Iāve written some clever code in my time that probably appears āintelligentā. But thereās a line. And āability to quickly process lots of dataā is clever, but it isnāt really over that line. And I think you know it.
Thanks.
Lol. This scientific exploration of what would happen if the Universal logo was real is very funny.
āItās pretty much not good for life on Earthā

I want a tenth of his energy at age 54.
Boring thought from the pen of a new electric vehicle owner whoās now an EV bore š
š I feel less āguiltyā driving an electric car. And it NICE to drive.
Butā¦ in some of my driving it, Iāve still been stuck in traffic.
And being stuck in traffic is awful. Itās complete dead time. It holds me up. It holds other people up. I canāt work or exercise.
Traffic is crap. And EVs donāt fix traffic.
Electric vehicle charging thoughtā¦
Rapid charging should be cheaper.
Itās currently cheaper for me to plug in for 6 hours and slow charge.
The financial incentive for me is to stay longer (if I can afford the time) and clog up the network.
The incentive should be to charge quickly and move on.
(Iāve heard Tesla implement some kind of charger occupation fee when busy)
What did I hear on a podcast today?
Something like:
āThere are so many great abstractions in web development. React sits on top of TypeScript and TypeScript sits on top of JavaScript.
Itās so easy now to make a button that you click and something happens nowadaysā
Yeah, right. It is. And you donāt need any of those abstractions to do it! Itās amazing!!
š¤ Did anyone else read this and think of Severance?
š For those that knowā¦
I really think āWayfinderā is a bad idea.
Weāre already trying to undo āGutenbergā.
One issue is the precedent we set by not following convention.
Letās call the dashboard āWidgetvilleā and the admin bar āHeadspaceā or something.
Iām being facetious. Butā¦
š¤Ŗ I think that from now on my signature social media post format will be the long-compound-adjective-with-lots-of-hyphens one.

š Reading a car recall notice (not for my car).
Good to know motor manufacturers have figured out that whole-car-dies-when-a-tiny-electrical-component-fails-thing since that dodgy Peugeot we bought 15 years ago!
