Of gas gauges and lte
today I learned the gas gauge in my truck is off by about 5 km on its distance to empty.I learned this the fun way on the side of the 401 just east of the on route at Ingleside Ontario.
I also learned some other things first getting a tow truck here with a gas can is not that simple second it’s it’s a long way from that gas station when you want to walk when there’s trucks whizzing by third I was able to do a video conference call with someone on my team from this location and it was perfect and that really blew me away you see the idea of getting video conferencing speeds while mobile while in a rural part of Canada is something I couldn’t have conceived of many years ago and here I just pulled out the phone and did that and it worked perfectly I didn’t give it a thought
also first blog post entirely dictated without typing. Roadside blogging.
I was wondering why your punctuation and sentence flow had reverted to sounding like my 11 year old nephew telling me about playing Overwatch until I go to the last sentence(ish).
Stay in the car. Don’t get flattened.
Lesson learned
it was an experiment.
I grew up quite near that spot on the 401 near ingleside. If you had told me that
a) i could get assistance w/o flagging someone down
b) i could find a phone number / map from the car via some gadget
c) i could make a video conference call
d) i could just yammer on and it would transcibe my words (but not semi-colons)
i would have thought it science fiction!
