  • In Denver, a person with a house gets subsidized rates for electricity. By parking their EV in their garage and charging overnight, they can pay 4.2¢ per kWh.

    Meanwhile, a person like me who lives in an apartment and must charge his car during the day at public chargers like EVGo or Electrify America, pays 59¢ per kWh.

    This means that assuming a typical 70 kWh charge (from almost empty to almost full) costs:

    • For the house-owner: $2.94
    • For the apartment dweller: $41.30

    That’s almost a 15x difference! (Yay for EV economics).

    We don’t have an economy. We have two economies. We have a severely bimodal economy.













  • Elevated adrenaline levels make your palms and fingertips sweat.

    If you have access to some propranolol, try taking some.

    If you don’t, ask a doctor for some.

    Propranolol is a “beta blocker”, meaning it acts as an adrenaline antagonist.

    A single dose or a few doses can break a cycle of adrenaline release.

    This is what solved it when I suddenly had sticky hands all the time. My sticky hands lasted weeks until I did a bunch of deep dive reading on it. I don’t remember the research but I remember the solution: 20 mg propranolol, a few times.
