Hmm, perhaps something like this running TunerStudio would be useful when doing pulls and adjusting maps. Much less bulky than a laptop on your lap or in the passenger seat.
No comment on the PITA factor!
That said, was toying with the idea of making my garage "Artoo" unit mobile on wheels and batteries for moving to the cars instead of moving the cars to the computer, or using a laptop.
Future project to mess around with perhaps.

Tax Provision Would Give Trump Administration Unilateral Power to Strip Nonprofit Status - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly
Nonprofit leaders are raising alarms over various provisions included in new GOP-led tax legislation, including one that would grant unilateral power to the US treasury secretary to deem a nonprofit to be a “terrorist supporting organization.”Rebekah Barber (Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly)
The image depicts two individuals engaged in a conversation. The person on the right has shoulder-length brown hair and is wearing a green top. They are holding their hand near their neck, possibly indicating a thoughtful or concerned expression. The person on the left is partially visible, with only their ear and part of their hair shown. A speech bubble with a swimmer icon is present, suggesting the topic of their discussion is related to swimming. The background is neutral and nondescript, focusing attention on the characters.

"Average voters won't trust us until we dump on Biden more" is the most transparently self-serving horseshit I have ever heard in my life.
Remembering Tony Gardiner. Yesterday would have been his 78th birthday.

@isleofmandan He could be a bit challenging at times, but I always got along well with him, and he was a demon for education.
He specialised in the students who needed stretching, but he had endless patience for those who were struggling.
A loss to maths education.
i don't think so. It would be hard to understand and one reference would dominate the game.
Something more integrated would be nice. Like if there are too much trumpists in an area they'll "make america great again" and the area ends up as a shitty 50s version of it.
That is just a wild idea and probably too complex to implement, but you get the idea behind it i think.

Mexican Navy Sailing Ship Crashes Into #BrooklynBridge, Killing 2 Crew Members
There were 277 people on board when the ship drifted directly into the underside of the bridge on Saturday night, the authorities said. At least 22 were injured, half of them critically.
A Mexican Navy sailing ship on a good will tour drifted directly into the underside of the #BrooklynBridge on Saturday night, smashing its masts & rigging and killing 2 crew members.
There were 277 people on board the ship, the #Cuauhtémoc, at the time of the crash, & everyone is believed to be accounted for, a NYFD ofcl said.
The ship had lost power before the crash.
President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said on social media that the deceased were crew members on the Cuauhtémoc.
The ship had been docked at Pier 17 in Manhattan, just below the #BrooklynBridge.
On Saturday night, it was supposed to head south and sail out of New York Harbor, with a stop on the Brooklyn waterfront to refuel before heading onward to Iceland.
Instead, at about 8:30 p.m., the #Cuauhtémoc was apparently headed in the wrong direction, never intending to sail under the Brooklyn Bridge, said a spokesman for the city’s Office of Emergency Management.
"the #Cuauhtémoc was apparently headed in the wrong direction, never intending to sail under the Brooklyn Bridge, said a spokesman for the city’s Office of Emergency Management."
This seems very...
...interesting
The ship's hull is headed upstream to the north by my geography and every video I've seen
It lost power and was swept south by the prevailing current and hit the bridge stern-first
I'd say the "spokesman for the city’s Office of Emergency Management" knows nothing about ships or anything nautical
At the moment of collision 2 people who appeared to have been on the topmost rung of the mast can be seen swinging forward violently. In the immediate aftermath, the videos showed, people were hanging from the wreckage by ropes, & others inched along on their bellies toward the center.
In other videos, a tugboat could be seen near the #Cuauhtémoc, which appeared to be moving backward, stern first, when it crashed.
The vessel lurched but stayed upright & came to a stop at #BrooklynBridge Park.

- other passengers are substantially less stressed so fewer assholes
- views
- oh and the fact that it is 5-10% of the carbon emissions. But that is definitely not my only reason.
