    If anyone here knows someone presumably in the Denver area who drives a lifted MGM 05-11 2nd gen with a white roof and a KTM dirt bike in the bed, someone should tell him that he drives like a dick and needs to calm down.

    At this point, I don't feel bad cruising up the right lane approaching the Eisenhower Tunnel at 70+mph when the left two lanes have people camped in them going between 35-50mph.

    If I get pulled over for passing in the right lane, then I'll ask when they'll enforce the left lane minimum speed as well as the "STAY RIGHT UNLESS PASSING".

    People loiter in the left lane?
    Everytime I cruise I-70 in my clapped out 69 VW bus, the left lane is always wide open.

    So that little river box powered my fridge all night, fridge set on high, and a pedestal fan.
    Started it at 4:00pm, and at 9am this morning it still had 45% left.
    I used a small heater to bring the dod to 0%, and it charged back up in just under two hours.
    Would recommend.

    that lil fucker will power a 31" diagonal LCD TV, on antenna vision, for 5 hours on a full charge.
    How does one mount a tv of this size in a popup? I'll climb a tree for antenna use.

    I religiously camp in the right lane at all times except passing (I definitely know I'm generally not the fastest on the road and I'm not out to make enemies) but the intersection of on/off ramps I was approaching is best (most safely for everyone) done in the left lane for thru traffic thanks to a very short combined merging & exiting lane. I drive this on/off ramp as the one merging on my commute from work daily, and have seen enough close calls to know the "best" way to get through it - its like a second nature thing when you know your area well - you begin doing things subconsciously just because you learn stuff with time.

    Long story short, I should be able to briefly get in the left lane in a line of other well spaced cars happily doing 70 in a 65 without having someone be a total brash jerk - I don't think it's too much to ask. If you choose to pass me in the right lane, that is your prerogative and that's fine, but why so do it while so aggressively flipping off a few other cars doing nothing wrong? Some people just need attitude adjustments.

    I tend to drive around in my marked car at 5-10 over. People always get scared as shit and slow down to usually BELOW the speed limit when they see me. So annoying. I want to go fast too people.

    I've "moved" some people to the right lane a number of times with my lights that are left lane camping

    Camping out the in left lane drivers need to receive a ticket and 40 hr of community service scrubbing the floor of the local FD/ambulance/PD with a toothbrush. Camping in the LH lane causes a lot of risk behavior to ensue, lots of close calls on I70.

    i've timed some of the drives i make regularly and with traffic it usually works out better to just chill in the right lane even if it appears slower. takes about the same amount of time but way less mental effort lol

    Long shot.. but is anyone here smart enough to be a veterinarian?

    All vets in my area are booked out months and i am trying to figure out if what my doggo is experiencing is an emergency/urgent care worthy.

    If you're the slightest bit concerned, I'd hit up urgent care.

    I have been questioning the value of using the fridge on eco mode vs max mode.
    In my brain, there is a temp it's trying to achieve, either by slow and steady low current draw, or fast and furious at high current draw.
    So I ran a test. Using the river box, since it's somewhat linear in discharge and shows battery usage percentage.

    Fridge is in the house, ambient temp of 70 degrees, half full of Twisted teas.
    River was fully charged. Fridge was already at temp from AC current.

    Ran it for 6 hours on max setting, battery used was 8%. Remaining battery was at 92%
    Ran another 6 hours on eco setting, battery used was 8%, remaining battery was at 84%.

    Draw your own conclusions from that.
