Why is "home run" not a compound word?
Main Post:
Why not homerun? It makes a lot more sense to me that home run would be one word when it is one action. How has this never been combined? Are we looking down the barrel of another "baseball tradition"?
Top Comment: Baseball writers dabbled with compounding it in the early 20th century, but confused readers were regularly reading it as "homer-un", which made the whole situation untenable. Edit: There seems to be some uncertainty surrounding the seriousness or veracity of this statement. In answer to those questions, I say, "Maybe".

Running an EV without a home charger - how much it's cost so far
Main Post:
I've had a 40kWh Nissan Leaf since the end of June and have just recently clocked 4500 miles in it, so thought I'd run some numbers and see how much it's cost. I've tried to track pretty much every kWh put in the car, but obviously I'll have missed a few.
The headline figures:
4623 miles driven
1185 kWh used
Efficiency - 3.9mi/kWh
Total cost - £176.83
Cost per mile - 4.1p
I'm lucky enough to live in an area that still has a few free chargers at supermarkets and retail parks, so I try and take advantage of that, although I've been informed that my usual haunt will be having their free 7kW chargers removed and replaced with 300kW rapid chargers that cost 75p/kWh!
I have an Aldi about half a mile from the house that has chargers and no time limit on the car park, so I'll often leave the car there for a few hours for a good charge. They only charge 25p/kWh, which is on par with a non-EV tariff.
In light of the free chargers getting removed, I adjusted my calculations to assume I did those charges at Aldi instead.
Total cost - £292.23
Cost per mile - 6.3p
I try and plug in anywhere I can, as long as it's less than 50p/kWh. There are some places around here that charge 70-80p/kWh for a 7kW charger, which is ridiculous when I can rapid charge at Lidl for 62p/kWh.
On average, where I've paid for charging, I've been paying 35p/kWh. But, if I calculate it per network, then it's
Shell Recharge - 25p/kWh
PodPoint - 50p/kWh
Mer - 53p/kWh
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer.
Top Comment: I have been doing the same. Got myself an EV, no possibility of a charger at home for the time being, so going public. It is manageable, and far cheaper than my old petrol car. I’m lucky to have access to £0.44p/kwh chargers locally that are fast chargers alongside the traditional Tesco Pod Points and shell chargers dotted around should I need. However, I want a home charger to really start benefitting from the savings.
Running a Business as a Stay at Home Mom?
Main Post:
I have a two year old small business primarily profitable from local craft shows, with a growing Etsy presence. It's not my full-time job but often feels like it; the money isn't yet there to allow me to quit.
We're looking to start a family in the next year or two and my goal is to run my business while staying at home with the kids. We would plan to have childcare once a week to allow me to focus on the business, and I'd have naptime and evenings. My husband could pay the bills but nothing more with his job, so my business would allow us to live above the necessities.
Is anyone doing anything similar? Running a very small part time business and staying at home with kids? Is it something you'd recommend? Any advice for preparing to make the jump? Sometimes this plan feels so naive.
Also interested in how you divide business responsibilities with a spouse. He doesn't find joy in the business but I don't think I could do it alone.
Thanks!

Running qBittorrent with RSS rules + Plex as addons, how can I get a notification when a new item is added to the library?
Main Post:
I've finally upgraded my HA installation to run on a miniPC, so now it's also been promoted to download and streaming station
I've set up qBittorrent and Plex as addons, and while qBT is kinda limited in this version (can't make regex RSS rules for example) it's still fine enough
Now, I'd love a notification when a new episode gets downloaded through RSS and/or it's added to the Plex library (which scans the completed folders periodically), could I tap into either of those services as far as you know?
Top Comment: Question: why not use Sonarr/Radarr/equivalent for your genre, which will take care of RSS/list, sending to qBit, importing into the Plex library, AND notify you via the designated channel (I use Telegram). Not saying it's the best way, but I thought it's the "standard" and it's what I use - haven't looks much into alternatives so I'll subscribe to this post to read others
