As a cherry on top of the end of the semester, I today received my secondary appointment in the #UKY Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. So now I’m back to where I started out as a postdoc nearly 23 years ago. #FullCircle

Skate Will Not Have an Offline Mode, Still Slated for Early Access Launch in 2025

In 1912, a woman charged her EV at home—quiet, clean, no fumes, no cranking. EVs dominated early roads. Then cheap oil, Ford’s Model T, & road trip fever killed them. A century later, we’re just catching up. Battery tech is ready. The future isn’t new—it’s a 100-year comeback. #EVHistory #FullCircle

1912: A woman plugs in her car. The future was supposed to be electric.

In this photo from over a century ago, a woman in a long dress charges her electric vehicle—not at a gas station, but inside her garage. No fumes. No engine to crank. No noise. Just quiet convenience.

Because in 1912, electric cars weren’t the future.
They were already here.

At the turn of the 20th century, electric vehicles dominated city streets. They were clean, silent, and easy to operate—especially compared to gas cars, which required hand-cranking and emitted smoke. Women especially loved EVs for their safety and simplicity. Cities preferred them for their cleanliness. And even Thomas Edison believed they were the way forward.

So what went wrong?

Three things killed the early EV revolution:

🔹 Texas struck oil.
Gasoline became cheap overnight, while electricity was still rare in rural areas.

🔹 Ford’s assembly line.
In 1908, the Model T arrived at less than half the cost of an electric car. Suddenly, EVs were labeled “toys for the rich.”

🔹 The rise of road trips.
Americans fell in love with long-distance travel. EVs of the time topped out at 40 miles per charge. Gas cars could roam freely.

By 1935, electric cars had disappeared.

Fast-forward to today, and EVs are back—with a twist.

⚡ No emissions (like 1912).
⚡ Quiet operation (like 1912).
⚡ Home charging (like 1912).

We didn’t invent the future—we circled back to it.

That woman in her garage wasn’t just charging a car. She was decades ah

#nowplaying the new (and maybe final) Album #fullcircle from the band #thesweet .
Amazing Sound and cool #rock. Although only #andyscott is alive of the original Band members this Album is great and a perfect final release for such an iconic Band.
#albumsof2024

The album cover for *Full Circle* by The Sweet features a striking image of a vintage steam locomotive coming straight toward the viewer. The train has a rugged, metallic exterior with a weathered look, and its front prominently displays the album title, *Full Circle*, along with the band's name, *Sweet*, in bold, industrial-style lettering. The locomotive emits smoke from its chimney, adding a dynamic effect.

The headlights glow brightly, casting a warm light, while the front of the train integrates elements of a guitar, reinforcing the album’s rock music theme. The train’s identification plate reads "RAM946E," adding to its authenticity.

The background presents a dramatic landscape with a colorful sky transitioning from deep blues and purples to warm pink and orange hues, possibly depicting either sunrise or sunset. In the distance, snow-capped mountains and an old-fashioned yellow train carriage contribute to the scene’s depth and atmosphere. The railway tracks extend forward, symbolizing movement and continuity, fitting the "Full Circle" theme.

The overall aesthetic blends realism with a slightly surreal and artistic touch, making it a visually captivating album cover that reflects both the power of classic rock and a sense of journey or nostalgia.

My parents stumbling on some obscure website, finding something useful on it, wanting to purchase from there, and me dissuading them from doing so without doing some research on the platform first, is the equivalent of being a young child, and your parents trying to dissuade you from picking up potentially harmful things off the ground.

​🎧 Now playing: Full Circle by HÆLOS. This 2016 debut album envelops listeners in atmospheric trip-hop soundscapes, blending ethereal vocals with haunting beats. Tracks like "Pray" and "Dust" exemplify their darkly euphoric style. A mesmerizing journey worth experiencing.

I watch enough Nigel Ng videos that I get an ad for MìLà Frozen Xiao Long Bao with an image of Ng in it.

If you ever come across these soup dumplings, please get it. They are really good. You don’t even have to steam cook; pan frying is an option. Seriously good for a having frozen soup. #fullcircle

Screenshot of the top of a YouTube mobile home feed. The content is a ad for MìLà Frozen Xiao Long Bao. The ad itself is an image of Nigel Ng (a.k.a. Uncle Roger) eating the soup dumpling. There is subtitles that appear to be from some pre-existing video that say “who need din tai fung”.

About 20 years ago, I used the #tor browser for things that I don't even recall. :blobcatSip:

Yesterday, I installed it again because of* #elsevier and because my internet provider decided (without a legal reason AFAIK) to not route to #scihub

*guess I have access through my university but I don't want to install the mandatory Cisco VPN client and I prefer to just get a PDF when I click on it
