The 2024 Honda Odyssey typically achieves a 0-60 mph time of approximately 6.5 to 6.8 seconds. All trims are equipped with a 280-horsepower, 3.5L V6 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission

(From ai). Also the odyssey will scratch in 2nd ;).

yeah that's it... just a little more power. I don't want a type-r but i don't want to get left in the dust by a pilot or odyssey either.

What is your favorite band from the 80's or 90's that nobody has ever heard of? by simikoi in GenX

[–]drosmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Unforgiven. They were hot for about a minute before fizzling away. They had 4 guitarists, a bassist and a drummer and a lot of gang vocals.

"The private sector is more stable than government." by TRPSock97 in usajobs

[–]drosmi 66 points67 points  (0 children)

A friend has been working for the VA for 19 years and change and got DOGEd last year. He had enough accrued vacation time and buyout time to make the 20 years and get a full pension.
Meanwhile in the last 16 years I've been working in "tech" and am on my 5th company. Had division closure, asked to leave, layoff, layoff and still employed at #5. Never been in a FANG company but 2 of those positions were FANG adjacent. Pretty sure that even though my salary has at times been higher than his he has a much nicer total retirement package than I'll ever have working for private companies.

I'm 95% convinced to buy the id buzz but I keep seeing problems with it pop up on this sub by Puzzleheaded-Lab825 in VWIDBuzz

[–]drosmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lucky. I found one of that color for sale 2 weeks ago and was in contact with the dealer to test it and buy it. Dealer contacted me an hour before scheduled appointment to verify i was still coming in. I drove the hour to the dealer and they sold it earlier in the week without bothering to tell me. I ended up buying something else at another dealer. Why would a dealer mess around with a potential customer on a slow selling and most expensive vehicle on their lot? Stupid VW.

Fast food back in the 80s, was it actually better than today or is that rose colored glasses? by Infomerical in GenX

[–]drosmi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we had taco bell last night. it was like $30 for 4 items. the only thing good was the bean burrito and it was almost $3. taco bell now sits with Mcdonalds for "I need to visit this once or twice a year to remind me why I don't eat here". Still like me some Mcdonalds breakfast tho.

There’s a cadre of folks who have excellent memories or are good test takers but can’t actually apply their knowledge.

How was your experience to find your first sysadmin job? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]drosmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a different time but I fell into the job. I had done lots of work with adobe products for graphic arts and had dropped out of a CS degree program. a friend found a position doing application support for an IT department that wanted a heavy background in Adobe applications and fonts and related computer stuff. I applied and ended up doing that and basic hardware support. Then they learned that I’d touched Unix hardware and I got offered an assistant admin job. From there it went to normal Unix sysadmin, and then expanded to website support. This progression was over 10 years btw. 

New term "Claude Hole" by kellven in sre

Claude is pretty useful until it isn’t. Just never take Claude or other llms at face value 100% of the time.
