BTW, here's my review on gloves and other winter stuff:

I guess I was unclear. 12v liners are readily available and cheap. I don't think 12v liners with a built in battery exist. When I made Moriah's stuff I used large RC battery packs, a controller off the bike, etc. She had to carry a battery in a pocket, and it connected to her riding vest. It would have sucked to use just for gloves. The gloves all have small packs that are 7.2v. Even my riding gloves are 7.2v (same battery as those liners), no need to be tethered to the bike. That's so 1999. I have both an AC charger and a USB charger for them, so I can charge from the bike if needed (never have needed to). By having both the thin ones which I use off-bike, and the dedicated bike gloves, I have four batteries. I hate using liners in my gloves since they are already well fitted. The "liners" are my winter walking-around gloves, and for using the drone RCs or similar.

Can't help you on 12v, but this is what I use, and really like. I've never seen battery gloves that are 12v. I made some, but never seen them commercially. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W97B82V?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_8

WTF, Moriah finds most smalls to be too small.

Google results are less hot than hoped.

And then there's this... Reusable, waterproof/oilproof winter work gloves. Things like bike washing suck in winter since a nitrile glove offers no warmth at all when wet. These are excellent. Super grip, waterproof from just above the wrist, and with medium insulation. Stuff will stay cleaner in winter now. I picked them up at a store that does Amazon and Home Depot returns/clearance for $6 for two pair.

I did get a pretty big gift certificate to my favorite spirits purveyer for my birthday. Another note about the sleep; even after being less routine about it all, due to events and such, it's very quick and easy to get back to normal. Something was reset in me and by brain knows what to go back to.

Out of curiosity I looked, and USPS ground is $131.

Cooking gloves DO NOT stand up to conformal coating.

Me too (well smoker, no Weber), but it dried out a lot over time. I'm going to clean it up and use this restorer on it.

Light switches and outlets come with instructions? Colors aren't needed. Everyone knows the little one is hot, the round one is ground. It was merely a question of amusement. Irrelevant since it's obvious anyway.

You didn't understand what I wrote. Colored terminals have been a thing all my life. Its WHICH color.

No siesta.

Today I was called a leftist because I explained to someone how to keep a syringe sterile, and not follow some really retarded non-sterile advice. Well documented stuff. What the actual fucking fuck? Free thinking medical procedures; viruses love this one weird trick.

Jesus fuck. AnD tHEy'Re SO hEAvy. I've also seen that explanation on speed ratings, and thought it was rated at 70F. There's also a delamination thing they talk about. The load would have to go with it, because full speed with full load is gonna be very different from unloaded.

It will get much better once we deport all the Mexicans and white people do this work.

This is what I did on the Rivian in both weight rating and speed rating. Some idiots were freaked out about it, because it's a magic number or something. Softer tires ride better. Same as I had done on my 2500. I do have to keep under 117 MPH I think?

Oooooohhhh.....all the smart switches and outlets have black screws. Probably why I was thinking that. Until recently I would only remove regular ones, not add them. Just recently I got a bunch of smart bulbs and now the dumb switches and outlets need to go back. And now, many of them are going neutral-free.

My last three houses have had neutrals in the switch boxes. Before that, I have no idea. I noticed because they are necessary for most smart switches, which I only started using in the 90s. For the three ways there's a neutral at the main, and none at the remote if the remote is single-gang. Yesterday I was the asshole electrician, I ran a black/red with plain ground in the yard. Because again, free direct-burial 12# wire is nothing to throw out. Am I imagining things? Didn't switches and outlets used to have a black screw and a silver one? Now they are all silver and gold, with the latter being the hot/black. I have only recently depleted my hoard of old electrical parts and had to buy new.

Yeah that's the plan. I had four 3/4" dowels. Not enough. Also one end has to have perfect alignment due to having a vise. Didn't plan for that.

Oh, foam versus brush. YES! If you have off-road tires you need both. Street, brush only. I did a couple more tires today.

They HAVE brake pads, they don't USE brake pads. I almost never touch the brakes; regen does it, one-pedal driving. One of the HUGE (YUGE) benefits of EVs. Brake jobs are 400k mile things, another reason they cost so much less. I have really considered going to..well, the Darkside.

TL;DR: The second order of melamine will arrive in a few days. So a polack and a Cuban walk into a garage...and try to install a laminate countertop. It was going so well, until one of us (me, it was me) accidentally touched the two surfaces together prematurely while aligning it. Fucked. There is no separating 3M super 90 after it touches, short of nukes. Luckily, I really did that on purpose, yeah, that's it, so I could test the surface. It resists everything so well. It's an absolute win. I can scrape on it with sharp chisels and nothing happens. Hit it with a pointy JIS driver, nothing. It takes hard effort and something truly sharp. I was even able to remove some high end industrial cyanoacrylates with hardly a mark left. Acetone, MEK, and such did nothing to it. I left them on the surface until they dried; nothing. This is what I always wanted.

If you drive onto boards, you can then do the entire tire without moving the vehicle. I bought two cleaners, the wheel/tire and the rubber/tire cleaners. I can't figure out which is better or what they do differently. I assume "wheel" implies brake dust removal, but obviously, EV...no brake dust. And I have ceramic on the wheels so everything falls off. They don't seem to do anything different on the tires. The Adam's tire brush is perfect. Good ergonomics to really scrub hard. I've broken two generic household brushes on tires. The applicators...both are great. Get them. Stop using whatever generic things like I was. First thing is they save SO MUCH product! I applied my usual amount, which is kinda eaten up by generic sponge/applicator things. The tire applicators made it clear it was way too much. Both the foam and the brush do a great job. I think I lean towards the brush because it easily gets into the little crevice between the bead and the sidewall without getting any on the wheel. The sponge doesn't, it just gets material all over the wheel. The brush also has that holder which feeds my laziness and need for organization (no cleaning, just hang it up).
