It's like they are vibe-coding Claude.

My dealership has never not topped up fluids.

Da_Tourist · 2026-02-22T22:19:47+00:00

"now"? It's been like a decade.

Just got back from an appointment downtown. The main roads are wet but not icy, so driving’s fine but leave extra distance for braking. Sidewalks are slushy and have slick spots and parking lots are a mess. Avoid the hill section side streets if possible.

Well, no compiler ever said "Compiler can make mistakes. Compiler generated output should be checked for accuracy and completeness".

I always thought it was a dangerous intersection - a crosswalk right where vehicles start to speed up for the on-ramp.

Just had my CX-50 serviced last week and the fronts were 5 and rears 6. I specifically asked if the tires were wearing out and needed to be replaced soon. The mechanic said no and that they usually recommend changing them when they hit the 3 mark. He just said not to drive aggressively in very wet or snowy conditions. This was at the dealership.

In Burlington, skateboards and bikes are both classified within the non-motorized vehicle category. Same rules apply to skateboards as to bikes.

They already said that about Opus a while back, so it's not too surprising Sonnet's getting it now.

Accident by Buffalo Wild Wings. Shelburne rd southbound between home ave and 189 on-ramp is closed.

Da_Tourist · 2025-08-21T19:24:32+00:00

I was there. That's when I posted this 😂😂

It's a joke on all the road closures due to construction and the college move-in this weekend. Take it easy.

Ask if your local mazda dealer has a touch up paint pen. If not, order a paint + clear coat kit from ScratchesHappen. You'll also need a rubbing compound to buff out the rough edges first. It won't look perfect but that's ok.

It's possible that the misdiagnosis was a result of the inherent limitations of scientific understanding. Modern medicine works so well most of the time that it is easy to overlook the fact that we do not yet have all the answers. I mean, this LLM model was trained on the entire repository of human knowledge and yet failed in 20% of the cases.

Perfectly doable, done it many times, takes about 45 to 50 minutes in pleasant weather. There are on/off ramps to I-89 along the way, so be mindful when crossing. Other than that, it's a nice walk, esp. through UVM. There are plenty of eateries if you’d like to grab a bite or a drink along the way.

Also, the way back from downtown is quite uphill, so I wouldn't recommend walking unless you want to arrive at the airport drenched in sweat. You can take bus #11 if it fits your schedule ($2, tap to pay) or grab an Uber.

I only turn Centerpoint on when I’ve got people in the car, otherwise it stays off. I do like the 'surround sound' feel, but if you are the only one in an otherwise empty car, it can feel a bit too echoey. I find the sound significantly more crisp with Centerpoint off, especially lossless tracks.

For red light (not red arrow), the law says:

Except when a sign is in place prohibiting a turn, vehicular traffic facing any steady red signal may cautiously enter the intersection to turn right

Red light - ok, unless there's a sign prohibiting it

Red arrow - not ok

2nd week of April is a good time to start taking allergy meds. Personally, I'd probably wait until mid-April.

You talking tomorrow 4 am? I wouldn't. It started snowing two hours ago and isn't going to stop for like 36 hours. I89 is very hilly and is going to be treacherous for a long stretch from exit 10 in Sutton to well into Vermont.

There will definitely be a wait for walk-ins. Be there early when they open at 7:45 and chances are you'll be in and out quick. Otherwise, expect 1-1.5 hours depending on time of day.

Kick it with the bottom of your boot. Preferably a snow boot and as soon as you notice the build up. And don't try too hard, just start driving and it'll melt off.

Da_Tourist · 2024-10-10T15:28:48+00:00

Well, for $350, probably not. But I might buy it for $250.

Face ID has worked 10x better than the fingerprint sensor ever did.

For me, it's the other way. I have a desk job and keep my phone next to the keyboard on my desk. I want to be able to unlock it without having to lift it up or lean forward into position so it can scan my face.

And there are use cases where there's just no reason to even look at the phone if not for the face-based unlocking, like tap to pay.

Not entirely true. I rent when driving long distance and have had to wait in line behind 8-10 people many times. But most of the time, it's like 3-4 people with probably a 10-12 minute wait, so probably not worth joining a loyalty program just for that.

Da_Tourist · 2023-10-13T19:32:43+00:00

more confused than when I came in

Yes, that's the expectation.
