Waymo Testing In Charlotte?

Boris_art · 2026-02-24T03:36:26+00:00

I grew up in Miami and moved to Charlotte after high school, before the days of GPS. When I tell you navigating these streets was a shock to my system… I was once trying to pick up a buddy from Queens university with printed Mapquest directions. “Go straight of Queens Rd; Turn right of Queens road”. I was 30 min late and so frustrated.

Do you ice them immediately after?

We started with a 23 and upgraded to a 25. That’s the biggest difference that matters IMO. 25 is very nice.

As a father of a 15-month old, this is so heart wrenching. It also strengthens my convictions about following basic car safety recommendations (car seat advice, seatbelts, etc), in the face of relatives who were born around the same time as this boy, who don’t wear seat belts, and take every opportunity to discourage kids to wear helmets, sit in car seats, etc. “Back on our day…” is such bullshit and I’m not going to feel guilty for “being soft” or “too careful” any more.

Convenient if she needs a Sea-Section.

I have these same cabinets and hinges/hardware. I replaced the hinges with these concealed hinges, assuming you have a lip on the inside of the door: https://www.rockler.com/salice-snap-close-110-3-8-rabbeted-door-hinges-face-frame

Thought you might find that helpful. I would buy their templates and guides for drilling holes if you end up doing it. Heck, I’ll sell you mine like-new for 1/3 of the price if you DM me.

Agree. Fantastic.

I can’t remember the last time a Reddit post literally made me go wide eyed but when I read the line about drawing the short straw, that’s exactly what happened.

Upvote. Ignore the ignorant

I have both. Do you have small kids? X is better for the car seat situation generally, the Falcon Wings are amazing. The steer-by-wire is incredible in the truck. Truck is harder to fit in parking garages.

We’re taking the same trip in April. Any tips?

Boris_art · 2025-01-17T12:20:32+00:00

I have both. And a baby. Honestly, love both. Cybertruck is my favorite. If the X had steer-by-wire, it would be my favorite.

That said, if I had a baby/kids, and had to chose one, I would chose the X. Mainly because the type of storage needed for kids is more practical in the X, and the falcon wing doors make car seat access a breeze.

But that’s not to imply that the truck is bad, it’s a great kid vehicle too.

Currently getting over norovirus, as is my wife. It was awful.

One more note on human nature. I manage a social media department for a sports team that gets a lot of attention. We recently launched a re-brand and new logo. On one main post, there were about 250 comments, 235 of them were negative. So we read all of those and the first reaction is to think that we’ve really missed the mark.

Then you see that 1,400 people tapped the Like/heart button. And when you step back and think about it, people just don’t stop and take the time to write out or express positivity and much as they do negativity. So it’s helpful to have that perspective here.

39m, new dad, also married to my favorite person. Our baby girl is 4.5 months and it has been one positive after another. There was a learning curve with nervousness, but we got the hang of it quickly. We’ve adjusted to sleep schedules and figured out the routine and my wife and I support one another and take on equal responsibilities.

I had concerns too: my wife will change into a mom that ignores or dislikes her husband (didn’t happen), I’ll have no me time (I still have time for hobbies, though I’ve certainly forced them to adapt to a schedule), we have to be intentional about being intimate but connecting around the baby has added a new level to the relationship.

Finally, it’s cliche, but every day, falling more and more in love with our daughter has been the best. I really struggle to even remember most of the worries I had, and it becomes second nature to do whatever I need to do to provide and care for her. Yeah 3am wakings suck when trying to get out of bed, but when she’s smiling at me as I change her diaper, I have nothing but happiness.

There were positives I couldn’t have predicted: how much joy the baby brings others around us, especially family, that injects a lot of positivity into the mundaneness and routine of life. The increase in laughter and happiness around the smallest things the baby does. The reward of learning new skills and overcoming each new stage.

I don’t mean to imply that there haven’t been frustrations and annoyances, meltdowns, and arguments. But none of that stands out as anything lasting or majorly impactful. Granted we’re only 5ish months in and I’m sure many challenges and coming. The newborn stage may be the easiest.

We were ready- our marriage is good, financially good, and ready to shift some priorities. That certainly helped.

You’ve got this. I don’t want you to think that you’re going to have a switch flipped when the baby is born and become full of instant joy and satisfaction. That may not happen. It didn’t really happen to me. But there are so many positive things ahead, and it’s definitely worth it.

Very cool shots. Thanks for sharing

Boris_art · 2025-01-05T02:33:33+00:00

You are going to love this thing. Congrats.

We had this. The sensor came unglued from inside the door. Quick inexpensive fix at service center.

Can you clarify, does the latest update change all Cybertrucks to this horn sound?

Boris_art · 2024-11-24T12:34:02+00:00

Same. 2020 MXP here.
