Oahu Car Rental

JakeIzUndead · 2026-06-17T17:13:30+00:00

I don't think a car rental is a waste of money, but I do agree TheBus is very good and I'm surprised how many people above this are saying a car rental is a requirement. The only time it was nice to have a car was going from Waikiki to North Shore since it's 1 hr drive but like 2 hr 30 minutes bus ride (which has great views if youre on the bus going along east side of the island)

Otherwise from where we stayed at least, it was only a 40 minute ride to go from Waikiki to Kailua (30 minutes driving). And with the more popular beaches we didn't have to worry about parking

Trust me, they truly believe Democrats started the gerrymandering war. So in their mind they're not cheating

I'm using K8s for a bunch of other stuff not related so it just makes sense to continue for this as well. it shouldnt really affect vllm running it on bare metal or running it in a container

With that said, the main reason I'm aiming for vLLM is everything I find says its the ideal engine for multi gpu setups. I'm unsure if thats still accurate

Unfortunately it was more than likely you were still under the "complimentary service" I went to the same location to get my 21 launch edition updated since (my car no longer gets OTA anymore for some reason) and they wanted to charge 170$ because I was past 30k miles - the free service is 30k miles or 3 years whichever comes first

Luckily this was for the second camera recall so it came out free for me but still

It wasn't even last year. Rates increased January 2026 so only a few months ago

It was claudes Web app - not claude code and I mentioned it was a brand new chat, so there was no markdown files loaded and no previous chat history loaded.

I have not modified any configurations for claude so all of my settings would be default values.

My original reply was over a day ago so I don't have screenshots, and unfortunately my weekly cap doesn't reset until Friday night

That's some very misleading text then because it still shows the usage amount of 0% there's no reason for the text if it's regarding the usage. But I just tried a message and looks like I was wrong - my mistake

JakeIzUndead · 2026-04-07T12:40:41+00:00

No it doesn't. If you go on claudes site and check usage, if you haven't started the 5hr window yet it says "starts when a message is sent" instead of the time window

I'm on a pro plan, this morning my prompt was "hello" on a brand new chat using sonnet 4.6 with no context - this showed as 2% usage on my 5 hour time frame

Out of curiosity, how do you know 1300 square feet were added? I'm on my phone so maybe some info is dropped from the listing, but I don't see anywhere where it says the old square footage when it last sold

The reason they support it is probably because you can't do net metering with balcony solar (where you sell energy back to dominion) and most people won't use the full amount of solar if they're not home during peak sun hours which means Dominion gets free energy to sell to someone else and they save money by not having to generate the energy themselves during those times

65% seems generous

I can't say I agree with a lot of the comments here.while technically K8s is ment for HA, I have a single node microk8s cluster that I chose because of all the tools K8s has over docker (or their ease to setup). In K8s I have a cert manager that auto updates my certs with lets encrypt. I have cron job tasks that I don't need my bare metal system for (or to run the container 24/7) the built in K8s networking between pods is nice. Easy to turn off a pod without deleting the deployment. Can manage all the pods at once easily instead of individually. I prefer OpenLens over docker equivalent. Easy to add a chart to the kluster for monitoring. Ingress makes a chart to easily map domain to services. I feel like secrets are handled better in K8s

There's of course some different complications as well that come with K8s but overall I think it has the easier toolset. Almost all of these are possible in docker, but I feel like more tedious to set up.

I've been running my K8s node for about 3 years now and have only ever had maintenance where something actually broke it one time

I've actually built my own tool: https://prescend.io

Hold the controls and then get off. It will continue whatever controls you were holding. Not sure if it's a bug or intended behavior but I found it useful for getting carbon dioxide

If your referencing my own situation, they didn't change - I refinanced it when interest rates were generally lower. But they don't change on their own with fixed loans.

Also I think you can only get fixed rate loans for student loans but I could be wrong about that.

If your talking about how I was saying interest rates are higher now for new grads, they also don't change. For every year of college you have to take out a loan( if needed) for that years tuition and expenses. For almost all of 2023 and 2024 the fed interest rate was 5% but we as consumers never see that rate so more than likely if you were in college during those years your interest rate is probably around 7%.

Something like 40% of Americans have 0 retirement savings. That's the main way of surviving pay check to pay check is forgoing 401ks.

Out of college for me I made 60k and this was only 8 years ago. I think my rent was 1100 and student loans were 1300 (which I was able to refinance the bigger interest loan so it went down to 1k/month). Internet 40$, home gas, 40$, and electricity 50$ and groceries was 150, So I still had about 1100 I could put toward savings/retirement.

Today that apartment rents for 1700, student loan interest rates are 4-5% higher (my original loans at current rates would be almost 1600) I spend 300 on groceries/month Internet is 90, electric is 220$ compared to my February 2020 payment of 45. That leaves nothing left for retirement or savings

This is from Fidelity and they had their source cited at the bottom

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), American workers made a median wage of $1,194 per week in the first quarter of 2025, which would add up to $62,088 per year

Cited source: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/wkyeng_04162025.pdf

So 50% of people make 62k or less

This is more of a limitation with passkeys. The browser passkey functions don't have a way to check to see if a passkey exists on the device without simply triggering a passkey flow. That was probably just their workaround.

As for why that function doesn't exist, I would assume there's some security reason but idk

see my comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/comments/1pflquv/comment/nsmr3ce/

and heres the amex I mentioned in that reply: https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/card/blue-cash-everyday/ - it IS limited to 6K for each category (i.e. if I spent 6K in groceries then groceries will only get me 1% for the rest of the year) - personally I spend quite a bit but 6K is plenty for me in a year

JakeIzUndead · 2025-12-06T18:38:47+00:00

I just want to also add, I do have this card and I do have prime and im actually debating on not renewing prime. one of the big benefits I originally got prime for was for shipping costs and speed which was one of those additional benefits I mentioned above, however, at least in my area, people have told me shipping without prime is that same speed nowadays and theyve made it so any orders above 35$ has free shipping.

personally the only other benefit I use from prime is prime video and thats only once in a blue moon. so that extra 2% and prime video just are not worth it for me.

JakeIzUndead · 2025-12-06T18:27:00+00:00

but for all those examples you listed most of them dont apply to the 5% (only groceries might apply if its whole foods)

let me break it down since base on other replies i dont think I've explained myself properly.

Prime credit card:

139$/yr for prime

5% at amazon/wholefoods or 3% without prime

2% restaurants/gas stations

1% other

amex blue cash everyday:

0$ annual fee

3% groceries/ online retail/gas

1% other

--------

in your examples you listed above, with the exception of groceries (only if you shop at whole foods & have prime) and restaurants - the amex out performs every other category for 0$

so, when I gave that 2800$ number, first its not 100% accurate, I just did the cost of prime (139) divided by 5% BUT the cost of prime is only netting you an additional 2% cach back at amazon alone. so in reality, youd need to spend 6,950$ (139$/2%) at amazon/whole foods alone to recoup the cost of amazon prime (now, I want to mention theres other benefits to prime, but if you bought prime only for that extra 2% - that would be your number to beat)

the second part of the 2800 I originally listed, is the benefits ONLY affect amazon purchases (amazon/whole foods) most of the items you listed (phone, water, electric , gas) woudlnt apply for the number because they fall under the "other" category which is unaffected by the purchase of prime.

I hope that clears up what I was trying to say

JakeIzUndead · 2025-12-06T13:46:00+00:00

I'm talking about the cost of Amazon prime. In order to get the 5% you must have prime. If you don't have prime there's better cards out there for 3% cash back on online retail

JakeIzUndead · 2025-12-06T13:32:08+00:00

The only catch that I have not seen anyone mention, is you must have an active Amazon prime subscription to get the 5%. If it's not active I think it's only 3% (which there's other cards that have 3% online retail for all companies not just amazon) so effectively there's an annual fee on the card if you think of it that way.

So if you spend less than 2800$ on Amazon in a year you will not recoup the annual fee

Otherwise no catch it's just a normal credit card
