I am reached the last available book from every series I have enjoyed so far, and am now desperate for more suggestions. I love Epic Fantasy, especially ones with elaborate settings and intriguing magic systems. I've listened to all of Mistborn, Stormlight Archives, and many other Sanderson books, absolutely love those books. Also finished A Song of Ice and Fire, King Killer Chronicles, and Kings's Dark Tidings, all really enjoyable series. I enjoyed Nevernight, but do wish it expanded a bit more on the setting and magic, but definitely has potential. Pretty much same thoughts on the Night Angel series. Though not quite the same genre, absolutely love the Dresden Files, although that may be niche because of James Marsters narrating it, but I'm willing to try similar books. I've tried LOTR, I think those stories are a bit too dense for me. Sufficiently Advanced Magic was a big too much, it just had a lot of things going on, but didn't have a lot of cohesion. Read Lies of Locke, but didn't think the setting was that interesting. Also tried Black Prism, but couldn't really get into it, should I keep trying?
All that said, it is so difficult to get the ball close to the hole and even when you do, good luck finding a straight putt! Supremely difficult test. The green complexes are varied both in size and undulation and Fownes gives golfers four short fours during the round, a rarity in championship golf. There may be an over-reliance in some respect on bunkers flanking every fairway and the prevalence of straightaway holes. Again, a lot of the memorability lies in the diabolical green complexes and the severe bunkering. The use of front to back slopes on the greens is also very unique in golf and gives Oakmont a lot of its bite. Oakmont certainly is not the prettiest girl in the world, especially after restoring the course to its former brutal glory. However, it's certainly gorgeous in my eyes. If you can point me to a course that's better conditioned than this one, I'd love to see it. This is pure golf the way it's meant to be played. Every student of golf architecture should make a point of seeing this course. It was a pleasure walking down every fairway and you couldn't wipe the smile off any of our faces the whole day. A challenging walk to be sure but a great one indeed. You couldn't take a cart unless you had a note from a doctor. Great comment from an older chap walking to his car. A friend asked him when he last walked a course and he replied "oh, about twenty five years ago." That's Oakmont for you! Let me tell you something. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world, having been able to play not only Oakmont this year, but also the much-revered Riviera Country Club as well.
The Basics: Each level of charging delivers different charging speeds. Each EV has a maximum charge power it can accept. Choosing the right EV charger minimizes hassle and installation costs. And maximizes your enjoyment of electric driving. The onboard charger is a component inside the car. The OBC manages internal power flow to safely charge your EV battery. The box-and-cord device has a technical name. “Electric vehicle supply equipment,” or EVSE. The EVSE delivers power from the grid (or other source) to your EV’s onboard charger in the first place. Still, everyone tends to call the EVSE a “charger.” So it shall also be for the rest of this post. How Fast Can I Charge? Depends on the charging level. What ARE Charging Levels, Exactly? Levels 1, 2, and 3 chargers run on different levels of voltage. Think of electricity like water flowing through a pipe. Now let’s run through the topline information on all three levels of charging.
Why Is Level 1 BMW i3 Charging Called “Trickle Charging”? Each new i3 comes from the dealership with a Level 1 charger, or “trickle charger.” It plugs into a standard 120V residential outlet. It’s nicknamed “trickle” charging because it’s really slow. 0 Upfront Cost. A level 1 charging cord often comes with the car at no additional cost. Charge virtually anywhere. Standard outlets are super convenient. Snail status. The slow rate of charge can feel limiting. Waking up under-charged sucks. Recharging an empty i3 battery can take over 15 hours with a trickle charger. That can make it impossible to fully recharge overnight. Many electric utilities offer discounts when the grid would otherwise be idle. Usually in the middle of the night. Why Is Level 2 Is Best for BMW i3 Home Charging? 240V level 2 chargers provide a bigger “pipeline” for electricity to flow to your i3. They can charge 2-4 times faster than trickle chargers.
You drive more than 30-40 miles in one day on a regular basis. Your electric utility offers time of use discounts. Maximum power output of the charger: Different chargers can pull different amounts of electrical current through their 240V circuit. Most level 2 chargers deliver 3.3-10 kW of power to the i3. Maximum power intake of your i3: The 2017 BMW i3 accepts up to 7.7 kW of charging power from a Level 2 charger. That much power can recharge an empty i3 in just 4.5 hours. Plenty fast enough to recharge every night. Plug-in chargers must be manually connected to your charging port each time your charge. If you forget, you may have limited e-driving range. Wireless chargers enable autonomous charging. They transfer energy over the air from a pad placed in your i3’s normal parking space. A Vehicle Adapter receives the energy and charges your battery. Plugless chargers, like plugin chargers, deliver AC power the to i3’s internal onboard charger.
