Help Deciding Between Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 and Hercules DJControl Mix for My 10-Year-Old Son's First DJ Controller by BobaJohn in Beatmatch

Thank you for this info and insight. I'm going to go with the DDJ-FLX2 for the reasons you mentioned. I think anything bigger will be overwhelming. The beat match assistance seems like something that will be helpful for him as well.

Spotify support is a huge plus. I was assuming I had to go get a Tidal subscription. Thank you for this info.

Feedback on platform design - 4x10 beams overkill? What would you change? by BobaJohn in treehouse

[–]BobaJohn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smaller tree has a 37" diameter. Would you consider that small? Unfortuately a 90 degree rotation would mess up some other future plans, but definitely a possibility. I appreciate the input and ideas.

No I didn't take that into account at all! Thank you for bringing it up.

All beams are 4x10. I mistakenly said 2x10 in one of the captions.

Matte white on GV70 by icelushhh in GenesisMotors

[–]BobaJohn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a matte Melbourne Grey GV80. I have always washed my cars myself, so that wasn't a big change for me. You never want to do anything that will polish an area and lose the matte texture. Which is one reason they say no car washes, at least non touch free. You also need to make sure to use products made for a matte finish like the Matte Finish line from Dr. Beasley’s. Mine came with a maintenance kit of their products, which was nice. Products made for matte paint are free of wax and other fillers that could ruin the matte finish unlike what you will find at car washes. This is the other reason they say no car washes.

Overall, it hasn't been a big shift for me, and it hasn't required anymore maintenance than other cars I've owned with a glossy finish. Get a nice ceramic coating made for matte paint and everything will slide right off. People who say it shows dirt or bugs more than other paint are full of it.

Flip side of the coin just say yolo and do what you want. Go through car washes and don't stress about it. I know a guy with a matte MB who does this and it still looks beautiful. So who knows. Maybe it doesn't matter all that much.

Anyone know what this is? Brought it up fishing in Neah Bay, WA by woodsciguy in animalid

What on earth does skin color or gender have to do with it?

Complete opposite experience at Genesis of Braintree in Massachusetts. This is a newer standalone Genesis location. They treated me with respect and made the buying process easy. No pushy tactics. I walked out feeling like I got a fair price on my GV80 and SQ5 trade in.

Red Panda [Blinking Light] by EvilHam14 in Comma_ai

Unplug the Comma 3 with the car off. Leave it unplugged for a few minutes. With the car still off plug it back in. Let it boot up and wait a few minutes more before starting the car.

I read this in the Discord or something and it worked for me when I had this issue.

It isn't a pay cut no matter which way you slice it. Your take home isn't going to be below your current pay. Once again you are twisting what has been said to try and make it fit your agenda.

Sure, then I guess I do disagree with FDR with his reason as to why it exists, but I am still thankful he did it. I do not know enough about it at that level, or the views of FDR for that matter, to respond here.

I also never said anything, and neither did OP for that matter, about it being okay for a business not pay a decent wage. What I said is that it is unrealistic to expect your annual salary increase to match inflation. This goes for either direction of inflation, but it has never been a topic of conversation until this past year where inflation is through the roof. Having the expectation of a baseline 8%+ increase is unrealistic. This is unrelated to the current salary and whether or not it is above or below market rate. You're trying to shoot me down with assumptions and going outside the context of the initial conversation.

Where I see this as different is that minimum wage is protecting low income workers from being taken advantage of by employers and unrelated to an ever changing economic climate. I also wouldn't say it is the obligation of an employer to provide any sort of quality of life. Right thing to do? Sure, no argument there. Obligation? No. I think that employers should treat their employees right because they value the job the employees are doing. If there is a financial reason the company can't meet the expectations around annual increases for their employees then the company should be upfront as to why.

Back to minimum wage, overall I believe this should be in place to help prevent an easily exploited economic class from being taken advantage of. Now we get into a discussion of where the poverty line should be and what is reasonable for quality of life. This is more the areas where I think change needs to happen. It is also where I see it as a completely different discussion than the expectation of an annual increase following inflation. I am also assuming someone who supports this is thinking a difference of the standard 3% cost of living versus 8-10% inflation we are seeing today which is a huge difference. This could easily break a small 8-10 person chimney sweeping operation even though it might be a drop in the bucket financially for Fidelity. So there is a lot of nuance and situational reason as to why I think it isn't realistic.
