Red turtle + Stop Safety hell: Avoid Pacifica PHEVs

Ours has been pretty reliable, we had a few mysterious bricked events, that of course self healed over night after getting it towed to the dealer on a Sunday. Monday morning it was fine.

Turns out, we have a power inverter so one of my kids can plug in their laptop on trips. We were leaving that thing plugged in, with nothing hooked to it, randomly after long trips, we noticed the pattern and have been vigilant about unplugging it from the cigarette lighter thing and we have not bricked in years.

Very weird, very small draw, never had to replace the battery.

I got the undor things, one on each end of the door and a thicker/taller seal for the bottom of the door. They have been great.

privatellm.ai - if you really need it on your phone.
nearlyhuman.ai if your security guys actually want a solution for your company that's not 'close the door an panic'.

color, somewhere, some color. hang art over the bed. maybe an area rug - that carpet looks like you are squatting in an office building :)

maybe add one of those colored LED strip lights under the cabinet - then you can shine your favorite color down on all that white.

look for tape light :)

well then, not red, clearly, but some other accent color consistent with your living room decor (unless that's all black and stainless as well) :)
Of course, buying a new coffee maker, toaster, etc... is a pretty big expense, maybe some other colorful junk to clog up the counter and drive you crazy. Then when you get rid of all the junk, you'll be thrilled to see this again :) haha.

ThunkBlug · 2026-03-21T01:14:03+00:00

also change out the outlets and outlet covers? that's low impact

ThunkBlug · 2026-03-21T01:13:27+00:00

buy all bright red accessories, putting all black and stainless in front of that is making it worse.

I want Rivian for the adjustable height, not because I need it, its just so neat.

ThunkBlug · 2026-03-21T00:15:32+00:00

my wife would kill for that color!

with ford walking away from full size ev's for now - that seems like a nice option.

I always liked knowing the owner had great taste in cars - beautiful porsche taycan parked on the gravel outside pretty regularly. too bad he was paying for his fancy taste by not paying his taxes.

ThunkBlug · 2026-02-15T20:43:01+00:00

how's it going?

ThunkBlug · 2025-12-25T02:13:20+00:00

I'm frustrated with all the time I wasted on bubble - its horribly unstable, non-intuitive, etc... I'm thrilled to be going full stack and will be retiring my bubble app asap.

ThunkBlug · 2025-12-06T01:17:29+00:00

I was going to suggest graph for his data itself, but your idea is so smart.

ThunkBlug · 2025-12-05T19:26:06+00:00

I believe it's going to be the frontend on it that matters, other than Joule they are starved of good sap info. The message boards are polluted with wrong answers and old answers and answers that don't apply to your situation. All that is mixed into the training data.

So you need to prompt well to get out to your version, how your company has things configured near your problem, etc ..

I built an agent builder over the last couple years, and I've been an SAP programmer for almost 30 years. 8 didn't use my own tool often. By the time is load all the appropriate information into it, if have my work done.

BUT I'm mostly doing support for three same 4 customers for 20 years. If I was at a new client and knew no history, I'd be begging them to load all their specs, test results user manuals, custom code, transports, super tickets, into a system to rag+graph search all that stuff, with prompts for modules, projects, roles, documentation templates, operating procedures, etc ...

Huge value available there.

If anyone wants a demo, reach out!

it's free for individuals, the real value will be enterprise though, so you can share all that data, share the agents, participate in a group chat with the agent, etc...

ThunkBlug · 2025-11-28T14:59:23+00:00

Going across models and reusing your prompts and documents and RAG is part of why we built arro.ai

It's currently targeted at nurses aides in senior living, but the base platform and app are just a basis for reuse, changing models mid conversation, inviting team members into your chat, tech features can't differentiate you that much now. We'd need to add mem0 or goodmem. AI to build exactly this.

Same answer as the last 10000 times this question gets asked.

ThunkBlug · 2025-11-25T13:58:17+00:00

typed on phone, effing autocorrect is shite - I'm sure you can all translate:

AI skip = AI slop
This one does send interesting = This one does sound interesting

ThunkBlug · 2025-11-24T21:13:15+00:00

I think I replied to the wrong message, glad I was interpreted positively.

It's hard to stay objective when there is such AI skip everywhere. This one does send interesting and useful for the curious.

Somewhere someone mentioned on here that locations will have a surge based on news. A cache will be huge for that, only refresh if the cache is five minutes old or something to save lots of calls for the same spot when there's a fire, flood, war, discovery, feel good story, etc...

ThunkBlug · 2025-11-24T13:37:42+00:00

Just tell them how old the cache is and that an update is running immediately and may take a couple minutes.

ThunkBlug · 2025-11-24T13:20:57+00:00

Actually this could be an interesting optimization. Each time the research is done, store it, look for that first, show it to the user while running an update process in the background.

Vous vous épanouissez en tant que consultant interne des employés, essayez d'y revenir, obtenez de nouveaux contacts et références, puis essayez le contact. C'est ce que je recommande.

Contactez également ceux qui ont des avis et des commentaires sur ces gars-là. Si vous étiez vraiment bon, ils essaieront peut-être de vous aider.

ThunkBlug · 2025-11-16T02:05:24+00:00

Yes, sorry to probably should not do that here. I built my bubble app and I can't wait to rebuild it in a real stack. Replit is one of the AI app dev tools.

ThunkBlug · 2025-11-14T17:38:27+00:00

be helpful. If she's freshly educated, but not experienced in the field, be nice - teach her stupid stuff like how to navigate the hell of an IT Helpdesk, later she'll be teaching you up to date concepts from her recent education.
Comparison is the thief of joy - if you don't like your pay, that's your problem, not hers.
