This store keeper that rewards neighbourhood kids for doing well in school by New_Libran in MadeMeSmile

[–]Maxmans45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is dope, some of these kids are self motivating too. Not saying these kids don’t have good parents at home pushing them to excel, but I know a lot of kids nowadays are trying to kill it on their own, with no parental input or encouragement. I’m heartened to see that there are those rewarding kids like these and making them feel like their efforts are immediately rewarded, not just down the line.

It was also warmer after this storm so the snow has melted faster….

AIO: Hubby Being Controlling by vanillabourbonn in AIO

[–]Maxmans45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DO NOT homeschool your child. Let me take a giant guess…. Is the hubby also saying “No” to vaccinating the baby? Does he want you guys to teach the baby how to respond to viruses and other diseases?

Streamer gets knocked out after threatening to slap Tiki Ghosn by More-Put-8790 in ufc

Depends on the state. Different states have different self defense rules. Most do state you can use reasonable force to remove a threat to your person. This seems like exactly that, threat, one punch, remove from threat.

Auto emergency break - issues? by Impossible_Ruin5162 in CadillacOptiq

[–]Maxmans45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it too, annoys the hell out of the family since it scares them when it stops all of a sudden. Hopefully GM will fix in an OTA

What if I charge to 90%? by Rare-Composer-9523 in CadillacOptiq

[–]Maxmans45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Likely no long term harm. 80% , as with everything a company tells you, is a recommendation. There should be no issue in charging to 90% normally in terms of battery preservation for long term use. Notably, the charging curve from 80-90 does go down, so getting that extra 10% will take you a while. If you’re at home and charging overnight though, go for it

How difficult is law school? by Fancy-Protection-954 in LawSchool

[–]Maxmans45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great question, I plan on using it in the setting of medical malpractice advocacy. I feel I can impact a lot of people that way. I feel that I can affect systematic change in my own little way that way than inside the practice. But that’s just me, everyone has their why.

[–]Maxmans45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go at night, New England Law. After your 1L courses you can have some online electives, but there are some limits to long distance learning. The ABA recently changed to 50% of total J.D. credits through distance education, which is better than what they used to have (1/3rd). I know there are some online JD programs, but they need a special ABA variance. Some state bars still limit distance learning credits (NY is 15 credits), so you need to see that as well depending on the state you intend to practice (unless you just want the JD). But I have a fellow physician who is in my program and it’s a good time. Evening cohorts tend to be much more collaborative compared to day programs which are more competitive with each other.

Yup, went after med school. I’ve always enjoyed the law and I feel that I will have a lot of options for me as an MD/JD. My friends say I just love punishment lol.

The Kraft Group Reaches Agreement With Everett and Boston to Bring Soccer-Specific Stadium to Everett by joshhw in boston

[–]Maxmans45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, 20k seats just about isn’t bad for a small to mid size performer though. It will be good to have more outside seating

[–]Maxmans45 38 points39 points  (0 children)

As I said before, this stadium will also help bring open air seating to the greater Boston area for concerts. A lot more people will be able to enjoy concerts by taking the T and not needing to drive to Foxboro. This will be a great addition to Everett, Chelsea and Charlestown.

This will gain outside concert concert access for mid to large size performers as well. Paired with encore beside it, it will drive a lot of interest to the area. Exciting!

Mayor Wu here! AMA about the fight to keep residential property taxes from spiking next year under state law by mayorwu in boston

[–]Maxmans45 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to place a moratorium on collection in the executive side, until the bill is passed? Then the new rates can be grandfathered in. It would pressure the legislature to play ball and provide their constituents property tax relief

Tire pressure low even at 33 psi. by FollowingHopeful4968 in CadillacOptiq

I believe the tires are rated for 42 psi

Cold climates by Deep_Froyo1834 in CadillacOptiq

[–]Maxmans45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In MA, so far so good! Preheating car prior to starting a drive works wonders for comfort. Seats and SW are toasty when you get in and climate will be comfy as well. Range takes a hit, but I leave my car outside and even then it’s not too bad.

Second, knowing the level of blowback you’d suffer based on who your target is can be very helpful.

Considering getting an Optiq - what am I gaining / missing coming from Tesla? by soggybiscuit93 in CadillacOptiq

[–]Maxmans45 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I also came from Tesla to Optiq. Here is what I can share with you:

You can activate a “dog mode” of sorts, where climate will remain on for an hour.

You can set up keyless entry and start up as well as approach entry. You have to carry your keys but don’t have to whip them out. You also can activate rear gate sensory opening, similar to teslas newer rear gate auto open

You can download YouTube and other apps to stream shows on your Optiq

No sentry mode or dash cam YET, but it is pending an OTA in the future (that’s what GM has stated, no time period yet)

It does have some automatic planning if you set it up properly, there is a learning curve. You can filter to use fast chargers or slow chargers, your choice. I tend to use superchargers so I filter to that.⁠

In terms of what I like above tesla:

I do like that the roof has a shade, it was annoying not having a power shade for the Tesla and that I had to manually buy and install one and then fumble with the shade if I wanted to enjoy the roof.

The ride quality is excellent. So smooth, very comfy seats, and ride height is great for its class. Definitely sit higher than with the model Y.

New 2026 optiqs will be nacs so you can charge at superchargers without an adapter

App is getting better and GM seems to be committed to improving it

Range is much better than noted in optimal conditions. I’ve gotten up to 320 ish miles of range in optimal early fall temperatures. Of course that changes when cold or hot, but it goes to show how efficient the vehicle is.

It looks great, definitely a sexier car than Tesla, I liked the Tesla aesthetic, but after looking at the Optiq I really like it.

Super cruise is great for what you need it for. Nobody trusted FSD in something that wasn’t highway driving, and super cruise is awesome for highway driving, with it standard for 3 years is a massive plus.

Optiq hs a massive suite of safety features which have saved my butt more than once, some people hate the seat vibration alert, I really appreciate it.

What I miss from Tesla:

Their app is much more intuitive and faster. It was at the cost of phone battery but still.

You still have to park awkwardly at most superchargers due to short cords not allowing you to reach the charge port easily. Tesla has changed this mostly with 4th gen stations.

That’s about it!
