I migrated from an app called Tomboy forever ago to Evernote, then from Evernote to Google Keep and Google Dogs which sucked because it was completely manual. Then I converted from Keep and Docs to Obsidian a couple years ago. Moving from Keep to Obsidian was fairly easy because of Google Takeout, now made much easier with plugins. Converting from Docs was a somewhat manual process, but I've basically got it done. Anything remaining in Google Docs is now an actual document rather than notes.

My ancient Evernote content was re-imported this year using a plugin and put into an Archive folder. Since there were a lot of bookmarks stored in there, it's somewhat handy to have it in an archive folder because I'll see it in search results. Importing the images and whatnot was helpful too, because the initial move to Keep lost a ton of formatting and content alignment.

There is a community plugin named "Importer" that works pretty well, and you should take a look at it. To force the issue of cleanup, I like to have a property assigned to notes for cleaned up or summarized so I can use a dataview to search for notes missing that property or with the property set to false/empty. That way I can go back at my leisure to clean up, summarize, tag, link, etc.

All NHTSA recalls are, by definition, safety recalls. They're literally called safety recalls and they are only issued for safety defects.

Strong disagree, a recall is a notice of defect which broken software qualifies as a defect. Call it a recall, let Tesla twist in the wind with their dogshit software.

For compariso's sake, waymo claimed to be doing 50k rides per day back in July and Uber did 2.12 billion rides in 2023 or just under 40.8 million rides per day. Waymo is still a gadget, they still don't have a general application to solving fully autonomous driving, let alone doing so everywhere.

So this news is either very very late and only meant for sensationalism, or the previous note about 50k rides per day was a complete fabrication based on a one time peak rate. Either way, one of them is nonsense which means neither of them is really meaningful.

So you can drive about 80 "city" miles round trip for $16k? That's insanely overpriced. For 25% more you can get a Zero with 100% more range. Of you can drive 72 "city" miles for $2k less. 8 miles for $2,000?? What? And this is all presuming you've got LFP cells in there charged to 90% before you ride, and you come right back home.

Good range for a city bike, sure. Bad range for anybody commuting into the city from the suburbs. And the price is foolish high for what you get.

Normal as in the existence of a coupon doesn't determine if I fulfill my needs at a store.

Same waymos that are unable to navigate a parking lot around each other. Yeah, gonna go ahead and press doubt on this bullshit.

Zero is a fine motorcycle. I assume you've done your homework about EV bikes and you understand what you're doing.

Imagine already having a cheap, chintzy interior and thinking to yourself, "I bet we can screw our customers over even worse". Wow.

I shop for convenience and brands I prefer. One store has some items I prefer over the others. That's to say I shop like a normal person.

Nobody said it made the list for you. The idea was moronic that it would tell you when to get these things. Which is idiotic because YOU ALREADY NEED IT.

If you relied on shitty software less your reading comprehension would be better.

It doesn't make sense to me and I've got three grocery stores and a walmart within miles of me.
