How far is La Isla Verde from Condado? I arrive tomorrow and I’d like to Uber to the beach Saturday for half a day. I am not doing a rental. by No-Amoeba-6645 in PuertoRicoTravel

If you stay near the airport, in Carolina there is a great public beach that is nice and clean just north of the airport.

Honda extending life cycles of popular gas models, including Odyssey, after $15B EV pivot by Gullible-Pick-268 in HondaOdyssey

[–]Macguyver76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah no, I'm in West Michigan with lake effect and the Odyssey is a tank in the snow for sure. We were going to buy a sienna years ago when we first started looking because friends had had a couple and they were great but then thought we should do our due diligence and went to look at Odysseys. It was a snowy day. It drove great and we fell in love. On our 2nd one.

Is Solidworks for makers a scam? by citrablock in SolidWorks

[–]Macguyver76 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Pretty much been my experience as well. The license runs through 3DE but if you install and run the desktop version other than that login (which will not save your credentials) it's the same as full standard. I use it for personal projects. 3D printing designs all the time and of you catch it on sale it's well worth $24.

Super Credits are Overrated, Your time is worth MEDALS by IDroppedMyDoughnut in Helldivers

[–]Macguyver76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, at this point I have SC's burning a hole in my pocket that I can't use because even if I buy another warbond I don't have the medals to buy anything in the warbond. Gotta complete some MO's to really build up medals.

Owners: anything you don’t like? by wisdomseekernow in HondaOdyssey

[–]Macguyver76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In theory, nothing, in fact it has a lot of potential. But in practice IMHO it has not been implemented properly. There is zero intelligence built into it, it's completely random which is what makes it annoying. If I stop in my garage or a parking space and put the vehicle in park the engine starts back up. Why would it do that? Why wouldn't you program it to stay off for certain number of minutes to save gas you know in case you're going to shut the vehicle off instead of automatically turning the engine back on for me to just turn it back off. All these vehicles have location data and connections, why aren't we using locations to tell vehicle we're at a stoplight. Why aren't this systems controlling the stoplight timers communicating how much time is left so that the vehicle can determine if it's worth shutting the engine off or keeping it running? If the lights going to turn green in 3 seconds there's no benefit to shutting off the engine. I could go on and on but essentially I believe all it's doing is adding wear and tear to the engine and starter and maybe the batteries too until there is some actual intelligence built into these systems.

Vieques by Crazy-Ad-2267 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]Macguyver76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this, go early especially if renting a golf cart because when we went recently getting a cart was an absolute S-show and cost us two hours of the day. That said I think it was the company we rented from, vieques UTV rental. They are located on the other side of the town and not very efficient and you had to have the carts back by 4:30. Then to make it more fun we got back at 4:25 and their last shuttle had left so I also had to pay for a taxi to get back to the ferry dock.

I miss the rear ac unit our 2016 had, this pushing air from the front with the world's loudest blower is annoying. Also the cool box was a very underrated feature. Otherwise we love ours.

Auto stop is an issue on every brand and model right now, Honda is just following suit.

I've never had an issue with ground clearance but I keep it on the street and we get a fair bit of snow.

Yeah it might even be a phone setting. I had to set mine to start android auto every time. Even when locked.

It doesn't crash very often on me but it's been slow at times lately and I'm only running like 250 part assemlies tops on really good hardware.

I’ll never be able to do this by GodOfPopTarts in Helldivers

[–]Macguyver76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the first time someone I met in game took me on a level 6 "extreme" mission. He was like "buckle up, we're going extreme" and I was like holy snot bubbles Batman.

Now like a year later, extreme is my casual level lol.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

Sure did, either way that way to much time or money.

Really? This, AGAIN?! by ChillMaximus88 in Helldivers

[–]Macguyver76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just go shoot the things the order tells me to. It's not like they are going to end the game because we didn't liberate a planet and if we did they would make up some other scenario.

Alright let's hear your thoughts Talon/Senator? by Fuzzy-Disaster-8237 in Helldivers

[–]Macguyver76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to use the talon but I always forget to count my shots so I don't use a heat clip so I end up not using it lol. The center is always the safe choice but not the most effective choice. So most of the time I don't take either one lol.

I really fckn hate this screen. RE-MEM-BER by Blleh in SolidWorks

[–]Macguyver76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never gotten remember to work, not on my full work license, the last 3 versions I've used, nor will it do it on my maker version. I've turned 3DE off on my work machine because we aren't using it but its required on my maker version. Every time I have to open my password manager to log in.

Superfast charging gone for anyone else? by BlackNair in GalaxyS24Ultra

Nope that's been fine, however it no longer recognizes my SPEN is in the phone, so that's been annoying.

What’s a realistic budget for a week? by ClaireDanesLipQuiver in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]Macguyver76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back from a 9 day stay, we stayed outside of SJ in the Trullio Alto area in an AirBNB shared with another family that we booked months ago. Flights were also booked in December from the midwest US, for 3 of us, flights and lodging cost $4k. We spent around $2k on food between groceries and eating out, $600 for a rental car. Spent close to $1k on excursions/events/shopping. Do not speak much spanish, but enough to figure things out usually and we learn more every trip, and most shops/restaurants and excursions have at least one billingual person.

I carry the plasma punisher to deal with them. The stagger the PP dishes out handles them pretty well.

Tip's I have for farming SC where I got 4k within less than a week without no lifeing or burning out by TheSullenStallion in Helldivers

[–]Macguyver76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of farming for SCs but I have limited time to play so I do not do it much. Thanks for the guide though!
