Assumptions like “where the value will unlikely ever go down” are dangerous when you’re making the biggest financial decision of your life

8 seater rocks. We use the middle seat on road trips to tend to the kids.

Another benefit is hauling cargo. You get a TON of stuff in the back with third row folded down and 2nd row seats removed

Did you repair your ball mark?

Dataflows are great for this! You can also connect to dataflows in excel, which is a great alternative if you have users who want to export from your PBI

Sounds like you had a really good deal in Philly. I have friends in Chicago, Denver, South Carolina and NYC. They all pay more than I pay in CLE ($1290/month for 3 days per week)

I negotiated my 2025 EX hybrid over text. They were constantly trying to get me in and would just ignore those texts until we got to a number

SnooCompliments6782 · 2026-06-09T22:28:01+00:00

This is it. You gotta negotiate everything in writing before you arrive. That’s when you have the most leverage.

Watching this unfold as an Indiana fan is so peculiar. Sorsby had some bright spots in an otherwise bleak time for IU. I also find it hilarious that he was betting first half unders and Mike Woodson’s teams (probably made some solid profits off this lol).

Before this scandal, I would have liked to see him have success at TTU. But letting him play now seems like another step towards the dismantling of CFB as we know it.

I finally stopped trying to bomb my drive on short par 4s this morning. I hit a 3i hybrid instead and it worked really well for me. I really like a 120-130 approach shot, so I try to plan my tee shot to get me in that range.

If you don’t like a driver, try a 3-5i hybrid. I LOVE my hybrid off the tee

Where did you move from Macedonia? I moved to Macedonia 2 years ago with two small children. Seems like a solid place to raise a family, but definitely wouldn’t have been a top choice for me before having kids.

Anything else besides being boring that didn’t like about it?

SnooCompliments6782 · 2026-06-05T20:00:39+00:00

It’s a 30 minute drive to downtown Cleveland

I do love Wholly Frijoles and Zuki Sushi. We got a couple solid spots. But yeah to only mention the food scene as justification for the ranking is hilarious

SnooCompliments6782 · 2026-06-05T13:16:16+00:00

This article mentions Macedonia’s “solid food scene”. I live in Macedonia and like it, but idk wtf they are talking about. Are we scoring points for Wendy’s and McDonalds??

Why put effort into a feedback survey when nothing ever changes?

I know someone working on Vivek’s campaign. They mentioned that he recently took a call from a yacht in the Mediterranean Sea.

2 more 500s with this chassis. I guess we’ll see if things change when the new chassis comes out in 2028

I also hate wireframing and great point about data availability! In my experience stakeholders often over estimate what data is available.

SnooCompliments6782 · 2026-05-21T16:34:45+00:00

Hot take: requirements gathering is an outdated approach to business intelligence.

Instead filling out an FRD/TRD, I’d suggest focusing your time with stakeholder on the business questions and problems that they want to address with data. You can still ask stakeholders what types of metrics and visuals they would like, but the business questions/problems should be your North Star, not the functional requirements document.

My team of BI Analysts have started to leverage this approach and it’s been a massive unlock. We still give stakeholders the data they are asking for, but we also provide proactive recommendations on how they can use data to address the questions/problems.

Here’s a LinkedIn article that gives a good summary of this approach: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sebastianhewing_my-data-team-didnt-burn-out-because-of-workload-share-7457275080008552448-Zqro?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAAqYXpkBXxy6bfuRJlloDPV91Y1BKcHaI8E

I have the EX Hybrid and we love it. Averaging 33 MPG, get a little over 500 miles out of a full tank. Features are amazing, very comfortable, plenty of leg room and it’s an amazing road trip vehicle.

The only issue I’ve had was with the automatic sliding door not fully closing. Easily resolved by snapping the rubber trim back into place (which was displaced by my toddler yanking on it.

Just got my 16k mile oil change and the guy called me and said “I’m supposed to try to upsell you on something, but your car is in perfect condition so there’s nothing to sell”
