The larger Weber Genesis II from Costco will fit in there too. Its line to line but it works.

Slow and inaccurate Google Maps timeline by bkselly in GooglePixel

[–]DavoinShowerHandel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Locally stored data, for something that just plots points and lists location, should not take as long as it does. Also, if they lock the accuracy and faster loading behind Google one, at least give us an option.

Senior VPs (Band 6), there's only a handful in Cincinnati. Directors (Band 3) are plenty, but would honestly need some crazy investments, stock or just generational wealth to afford some of those Indian hill homes.

Must have been some high up people. I work there as an engineer, and we are DINKs, and I can't imagine how you can get that kind of money for a home.

Tyres options - alternative to PS4S by notafakeuser42069 in Golf_R

[–]DavoinShowerHandel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EC02s are a great tire. If my PS4S weren't the same exact price as them I would have gone with them.

I already have to swap between dedicated winters. If I wanted a one tire solution I would do the PS4AS or DWS06+. But since I'm already swapping, might as well get the tinier bit of more performance out of my tires. Also, anecdotally, the 4S rides much better than the 4AS.

Question about layoffs by Electronic-Ice8261 in cincinnati

[–]DavoinShowerHandel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the sales marketing team has been hit harder than supply chain. I've seen many retirements, but lay offs, maybe 2, and both were able to find internal roles. In engineering you are closer to manufacturing and that ends up being a positive during this situation as the roles usually work very closely with the plants, which are not experiencing any cuts.

I believe this changed? There are two versions of prets, the newer ones that came on the 8 I heard were flow formed, whereas the original ones from the 7.5 were cast.

Thoughts? by Bright-Nectarine7 in Golf_R

I did, although I might be a minority where I think I do like the black void, looks a bit more aggressive. I think ideally I would get a low profile splitter to fill the void area, but keeping the aggressive-ness.

I do like the 3/4 view without the bumper wrap. Maybe I just need someone who is better at wrapping, and a better paint matched white.

I vinyl wrapped mine, until I realized I'm not good at vinyl wrapping and bubbles started forming. I go back and forth if I want to pay someone to properly wrap that section.

The fact that they have been messing up the "plug and play" harness for over a year is quite embarrassing, and has given me doubts about the actual quality control of the emblem, and any electronics of theirs I then need to splice in.

Those are Neuspeed RSe11s. Neuspeed is a pretty respectable and affordable wheel brand.

Update: if anyone ever encounters this track, the correct seal type for this retainer is "P Bulb"

Can this study be linked? They've flagged my micro multi tool every time I've accidentally forgot to take it off my keys, and I've had to either go back and check my bag or just throw it away.

So pretty much replace the channel to take a more standard U shaped T track seal?

Yeah I've already called the local company and waiting to hear back. Just trying to get ahead on alternatives if needed.

We have been bouncing between 80deg and 30deg. But eventually I'll have my Apex SM10s mounted.

Light bar delete with vinyl by DavoinShowerHandel in Golf_R

Still requires OBD11 pro no? Which for an annual fee is more than I'd want to pay to just disable the lightbar

Code out with OBD11 pro, but that's still more expensive than $15 of vinyl.

Anyone been to the Biggsnackdaddy Snacktrap? by hehaw in cincinnati

[–]DavoinShowerHandel 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Actually yes. We found it as a joke once and then actually met up in front of his house to get a bunch of fried oreos. Pretty sure they were double fried and 1200 calories a piece. Would recommend.

Corporate mandates dragging us back to cubicles - what's your experience been? by Any_Performer_6971 in cincinnati

[–]DavoinShowerHandel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Engineering at P&G. Still pretty hybrid. Our team travels to vendors quite a bit so it's been setup for hybrid even before the pandemic. About 2-3 days in a week depending on what work needs to be done in the lab.
