Tap on the car icon, then software, then the blue text that says “Additional Vehicle Information”. It will be listed as the 3rd entry “CCS and 3rd-party NACS DC charging” and say “Enabled” if you have it.

I have a 2018 Model 3 and did the upgrade myself (swapped out a small ECU module in the trunk and a small wiring harness adapter) and it only took me an hour total. Reputable places will sell you everything you need - I went with A2Z, and came bundled with a CCS to NACS adapter. Lots of YouTube tutorials. Involves a socket wrench and disconnecting the 12v and main battery. Very straightforward though.

If you’re less handy, Tesla will do the retrofit for you at a reasonable price as well, including their adapter.

generate some minor descriptions for generic stuff in my TTRPG campaigns.

Need a quick 200 word description of the interior of an apothecary? Or a band of marauding orcs? It’s been a huge time saver for me.

3 Astronauts. 1 candidate. Only really got to know one astronaut (family friend) and one candidate (supervised her training in an unrelated field) super well. I’ve had long term interactions with two wannabes who were disasters.

Unfortunately, in contrast to astronauts, most of the politicians I’ve met are complete shits. Only met a few at the civic level who are excellent. And one at the federal level. Everyone else has been truly🤮.

It’s funny. Literally every astronaut I’ve met is exactly like this - quietly competent, affable, team player. As is the astronaut candidate I’ve met.

And yet…

Every person I’ve met who has been keen on becoming an astronaut or astronaut candidate has been an insufferable self-aggrandizing jerk face. Like, just awful people who suck all the air out of any room they’re in, expounding on how they (or the idea they’re selling) are the most amazing thing ever.
