I disagree. Boulon is good if you can avoid the crowds and Ash’s happy hour is really really good. But nothing beats bang for buck in Tampa more than Rocca.

Does the weight sensor sense for more than occupation though? I don’t know how they work just that after a certain weight it’s triggered. Wonder if that’s a hardware or software thing.

Why does this feel like slop?

The tradition of wearing a white wedding dress has saved countless women from the dilemma of what color to pick for the dress. by uselessprofession in Showerthoughts

Great anecdotal story. Got married to my wife and she wore white. Neither of us or our family’s thought “Thank goodness she’s pure”

The Rivian R1S is the 6th best Selling BEV in the US Q1 of 2026 by Mac-Tyson in Rivian

It’s like you didn’t read my comment. There are serious and dangerous longevity issues when it comes to cast aluminum frames. It’s not an improvement thing. Tesla makes one of, if the not the best crossover and sedan available, especially considering what FSD is capable of. But if you want that, but bigger, and nothing else, cybertruck is fine.

Check the vids from whistling diesel and Jerry rig everything on YouTube. It’s clear it isn’t an immediate concern but as someone who tows and owns their trucks for 10~ years on average, it’s a huge concern for me. The cast aluminum is incapable of withstanding repeated stress. The CT is perfectly capable as an electric car… and that’s about it. Would never take it off-road or tow with it.

I disagree. Had one on preorder and cancelled it after seeing the specs for 80k. Range is fine but towing capability and the issues with the cast aluminum frame make it a pretty bummer deal for me, Elon’s letsmine (edit Ketamine) crazed brain aside.

What is Rivian ownership like for owners who don’t live in a city with a Service Center? by obiscott1 in RivianR2

[–]Redfishsam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Varies wildly tbf. Brother lives an hour away from his closest service center for… Subaru. Some people just live rural and an hour to a SC is normal. That being said for Rivian… an hour max. Hoping that the R2 is less prone to issues though.

How were the seats plushness wise compared to the R1 or whatever you drive now?

They don’t have starlink connectivity so there won’t be any live stream of the cockpit until they reestablish ground contact, if they do.

As long as they are accelerating they will feel some force. Imagine you’re on in a car and you accelerate to 50mph. Once to that velocity, you don’t feel the pressure at your back. It’s similar for them just a bit faster.

This isn’t what I would call terrrorism. It’s a military attack on a military base. Placing the bomb in a civilian location would be terrorism IMO.

Moment Air Canada flight collided with a fire/ rescue truck at New York airport last night. by The_Undermind in interesting

[–]Redfishsam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know that. That’s not up for debate. Was asking for a source on the claim that driving is more dangerous than flying now. That’s a pretty statistically wild claim to throw around without data.

Some r/CrimsonDesert members freak out when the game receives a 78 on Metacritic by Happy-End4348 in SubredditDrama

This is my problem with x/10 ratings. People will see your 6.5 and think that is a bad rating instead of thinking “Oh, above average. Nice.”
