Dealing with winter. I live in the rural upper Midwest, where winter can hit -20 with whiteout blizzards, week-long power outages, and car-burying snowdrifts. I’ve seen too many people move here from warmer places and think “I guess I’ll buy a warmer coat and a snow shovel”, rather than “I should have a backup generator, a backup heat source, a few barrels of spare fuel, a month’s worth of stockpiled food, and at least two different pieces of heavy snow-moving machinery tested to be in good working order”.

During AC season, 71 during the day, 68 at night. Geothermal FTW.

Specific subs that don’t exist on Lemmy, especially Q&A-type subs with no equivalent (or very few members). Things like AskPlumbers. It’ll just take time to build those communities here.

Agreed. Charger in the garage, plug it in overnight, ready to go. It’s been a bit frustrating on road trips when I can’t find a working charger conveniently close to the route, but a bit of planning beforehand has made it work. 99% of the time it’s great.

If I didn’t have a garage or other dependable access to a L2 charger overnight, it would be far more challenging. I’m also 15 miles from the closest public charger, which would be a major hassle.
