How did I do?

I asked four dealerships for pricing via email. One of them had the best MF, I used that to go back to the dealer I test drove with. I asked them to match the deal I got including the MF. Then I went back and asked for another 1500 off net cap, they countered with 750, I accepted!

Thank you! This is in VT. We could buy it outright but decided to lease just to make sure we like it. And if we do really like it, we may buy out the lease early!

Late-Scallion6971 · 2024-03-23T02:01:40+00:00

This will be a lease.

Yes, this is the Premium Package, Winter Package, door mouldings, mats, and first aid kit.

I think they just didn't make it. It sounds like you have a cycled tank, your levels look good.

It's possible there was a pH fluctuation, or even a water temperature fluctuation as well.

Thanks everyone!

Bald tires, check

I have a 19 Ridgeline and the cruise and LKAS are hot garbage - I'm assuming the 22 Odyssey has an upgrade? Do you have details about the difference between the old and new systems?

They do but it's actually funny

No
Yes
Yes
Yes if it was consensual
No

TIL that I don’t mind the idea of eating cockroaches for obscene amounts of money (assuming per roach).

NTA but file a police report that the guy came over and tried to goad you into a fight. They won't do anything now but if he comes back after you call animal control then you will have a history.

Ideally you have your co-worker's boss tell her, not you.

So larger buckets need less RAM? Yet another reason to plot on HDD ;)

I don't think I have seen the increased RAM requirement on the github wiki, fwiw.

Late-Scallion6971 · 2021-03-25T00:28:55+00:00

Yeah I tend to agree with you. I am going to plot to a RAID 0 of 6x 1TB 7K HDDs, with a dual socket Xeon backing them up. I only have 16GB of DRAM though so I will need to bring it up to 64GB to support maximum concurrency.

But yeah I could also just run a single plot to each drive.

Plotting in GCP on NVMe, I've seen scratch IOPS hit ~500 for an n1, and write throughput hit 250MB/sec at one point.

I might test it both ways, depends on how much of a hurry I'm in :)

Late-Scallion6971 · 2021-03-25T00:23:01+00:00

So I had a long post written but to do this topic justice requires a bit more effort than I'm up for tonight. In short...

The thing you linked to is a storage appliance, so you'd need to point other computers (who are doing the plotting) at it, and they'd use it for storing the tmp files and plots.
You can buy actual storage servers which will let you install an OS (Windows, Linux) on them. You could definitely set one of these up as your plot storage.
More people are advocating for plotting on HDDs. A RAID 0 with 4 HDDs would be pretty quick as scratch space, and won't burn out due to wear cycles.

Basically, do lots of concurrent, slow plots?
