It's a bit orthogonal but what I ended up doing is buying a dedicated polycarbonate sous vide bath (basically a rectangular container) so that I don't have to constantly mess with grabbing out my pressure cooker (which I used previously). I leave it on the counter of my kitchen as I sous vide 2/3 times a week. Some have lids, or you can get some balls to limit evaporation (I went with that solution).
I did have a Sansaire model from a previous Kickstarter that I reused for a while, but ended up replacing it with a bargain bin "KitchenBoss" from Amazon with no connectivity, just buttons and a screen but with a high wattage (1100W). At the time I wanted to get an Anova but that was out of stock.
I did have a bunch of other circulators including one I bought in 2012 that was basically a laboratory pid. The most important thing in my opinion is preheating speed, which is directly connected to how many watts it uses. Most compact models (including Anova's smaller models) have a lower wattage so, unless you don't care about time, I would definitely avoid those. I would go for a dedicated bath and a high wattage model. Anova is likely the best option but I find the basic KitchenBoss (no app) perfectly fine too.
No not quite, at least five years ago the model 3 was far superior to competing electric cars and a very comparative price. The whole vibe around it was a bit of a deterrent, not as much as it is now mind you. It was just a better car with better performance and more range, not to mention the one board integration with the supercharger network. The whole Elon aura played a role differently over time.
I'm actually in the middle of reading it.. I'm still struggling to follow it all, know in which variation I am at a point and see where it is going. But it is sure entertaining
I think you missed the point, I perceived the question (which I'm asking myself too) how do these differ? What makes one more fun or better than the other?
I use both pico-8 and tic-80. I like both of them, but I like pico-8 better. Why? Aesthetics pretty much - and isn’t that enough? These aren’t tools to get things done; they are more like songs you listen to.
It's the second one, and ICE typically uses energy that is otherwise wasted when it isn't cold outside. Mind you it has the effect that it takes longer to warm up an ICE car because you need to warm up the engine etc. before the habitacle gets warm where you cet there very quickly with an EV.
Yes but once the car is warm, it doesn't consume that much to keep température unless you open the doors, at least on my 2019 Tesla 3.
I found that pavement conditions, how much snow and ice is stuck to the car etc. have a bigger influence on range than temperature once the car is warmed up.
The trips I did during or just after a snowstorn always required some careful management of charge and keeping a good buffer.
I do agree, snow/ice stuck to the car changes the aero drag a good bit and pushing slush definitely adds a lot of tire drag as well. This can definitely be a major factor.
I live in an area where it can get pretty cold, but usually in quick cold snaps and rarely a lot of snow on the ground. I've found preheating when plugged in completely negated the extra energy needs on shorter drives, but the longer 100mi highway drives still ended up needing a lot of energy to keep the cabin warm. And yes, it takes a ton of energy to go from a freezing cold cabin to warm compared to trying to keep things warm. Every time you stop for a few hours and then go again without having any external power to preheat you use a lot of energy.
I'm surprised since I've never had any problems at -40C and it happened several times. I Neve had to supercharge the car under these conditions however.
If you park outdoors and have a slow charger (say 2kw) and depending on battery type - the charge might never even start as there's simply not enough heating power for battery to warm up.
