Harbinger just builds the chassis. Everything on top comes from somewhere else.

"Most medium-duty vehicles are built by one company building the chassis [and] another company installing the body," Weicker said. "So this made the perfect sense for our first product because we're going to be focused almost entirely on the differentiated aspects. We don't have to deal with the high capital investments for body in white, paint shop, [and] a lot of the things that have cost EV startups lots of money just to get to a table-stakes position with their incoming competitors."

"Where we're pricing the vehicles, we need that 45 W if we want to undercut diesel, and that's what we're doing," Harris said. "With 45 W, we can undercut the typical diesel vehicle by a few thousand dollars."

But even if that credit goes away under the current administration, Harbinger has some price flexibility to remain competitive, he added.

That's doubly true if you factor in operating costs. Harris says the average cost to operate a medium-duty vehicle like this is $0.50 per mile for fuel, or $0.85 if you factor in all costs relating to the vehicle itself. Harbinger is aiming to halve that, targeting $0.40 per mile. But, Harris says, Harbinger doesn't need to lean on that total cost of ownership (TCO) logic.

Very pleased with the result. With olive oil I have no complains, plain it may be a touch dry.

The America's Test Kitchen recipe has you heat some flour + water to make the starch absorb more water, in an effort to have a higher hydration dough without sacrificing workability; and the dough was very easy to work with while producing nice light crumb.

Fresh out of the oven (egg white wash + sesame seeds):

I made it staying in an AirBnB. I was trying to figure out where to prove the loaves, lacking my usual options, but the house has sub-floor heating in the entryway. Worked great, and nobody stepped on the loaves!

It would be nice to render collapsible sections for

Ars called it their favorite of 2025 so far, and I'm enjoying it. Adds a nice if minor level of resource (health) management on top of regular Minesweeper. Free to play online.

The teeth feel much catchier after filing them with a triangular jeweler's saw (left half is done), but it still takes a minute of rocking the but back and forth to get through 3/4" plywood.

Glad for advice on getting mitered corners more precise, I ended up with little gaps using both a table saw crosscut sled and miter saw. I think part of the issue is holding the small pieces of wood totally still.

I was looking to see what would happen on the 3rd floor with a ceiling-mounted AP on the 2nd floor. New to Unifi, I keep being surprised with delight how much useful tooling & info there is.

Here's for the U6+:

Something to break the infinite scroll.

I don't have a 3D printer, but I have a wood shop, so I carved a mount for my analog adapter board + TBS Fusion to clip onto my Walksnail Goggles X strap. Works well so far!

It would have been easier to drill the holes for the side where the cords plug in before cutting out the interior. I ended up finishing the profile with a jigsaw, just going very slowly to avoid splitting off the side.

I used a scrap left over from turning a piece of birch.

Today, Rivian announced that it is opening up the Rivian Adventure Network of fast chargers to drivers of all other makes of electric vehicles, beginning with its location in Joshua Tree, California. The Joshua Tree Charging Outpost, which has 12 DC fast chargers, is now accessible to any EV with a CCS1 charging port, as well as any Tesla or EV equipped with a native NACS (J3400) port using an adapter. A planned hardware upgrade in the future will add native NACS cables. (Rivian is switching the plugs on its own EVs from CCS1 to NACS in 2025.)

Rivian notes that the new chargers—which are rated at 900 V, meet the design and siting requirements set out under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure programs created by US President Joe Biden to disburse federal money to states to build out EV charging infrastructure in the US. By opening up to non-Rivian EVs, the network becomes eligible to apply for funding under those programs.

Found it on the curb, and I liked the design. Looks like solid wood, but the joints are all coming apart and look tricky to reinforce. Would you bother?

I found a guide for some CA utilities, and for Eversource in NJ when a property is vacant, but haven't found any references for Eversource in MA. Curious if anyone has experience, but I'm planning to call them soon.
