TIL.

You can’t charge an EV when travelling without a smartphone (and the requisite app on the smartphone.)

To buy gasoline, all I need is my wallet. Cash, credit, debit. You know, how we pay for everything else.

Going through the online course selector for my son’s first year of University, and holy crap it’s complicated and unintuitive.

Program requirement codes that aren’t class codes, with no descriptions to match with available class codes. Had to type name of university and the program code into Google which found the relevant page elsewhere on the website that translates it into class codes that can be registered for.
