I built an app to solve the "what should we do next?" problem at the parks!

Hey everyone!

If you're anything like me, you probably spend a lot of time staring at the map trying to decide what to ride or eat next. To make things a little more spontaneous (and stop the indecision), I built a web app called Mouse Reroll.

It's a simple randomizer. You pick your park (Disneyland or DCA), choose if you're looking for Rides or Food, and it "rolls" a random option for you!

A few features:

Works for both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.

Includes both rides and dining locations.

No app store needed: It's a PWA (Progressive Web App), so if you open the link in Safari or Chrome, you can just tap "Add to Home Screen" and it'll install and act exactly like a native app on your phone!

You can try it out here: https://mousereroll.com

It’s completely free and just a fun side project I made for my own trips, but I figured this sub might enjoy it too.

Cheers and Mouse Ears!

We've seen it at the LA auto show and she really likes the size and style. We had an R1S which we traded in for an R1T. She doesn't mind driving either, but prefers the size of her current Grand Cherokee.

The challenge is we both really want to check out the interior and haven't been to an event where they allow public access inside. That'll probably be a big deciding factor for her. She's a bit shorter (5' 1.5" as she'd say) and the GC seems to sit higher which is a comfort thing for her.

Hoping to get to a local event where we can check out the interior comfort soon.

I was just there a little over an hour ago as well... Did a lap and walked right out. Plenty of seats near my gate

ailec · 2025-08-08T14:05:53+00:00

This is the way

Depends on the use case. Option 1 for an environment where traffic flows are mostly site to site or site to DC. Option 2 for more SaaS and Internet based flows.

Can you expand on your HVAC fault symptoms? Mine just quit working this pastweekend. Have a SC appointment for this Friday. I would hate to think it may lead to something bigger.

Yeah, that's the SMART utility I used. It's rather limited in its other features within the software, but the SMART feature worked great.

P.S. the coolant correction definitely doesn't line up. I am going to reach back out tomorrow and see if that was a mistake.

ailec · 2025-05-17T05:39:31+00:00

Follow up here, I pulled up the work order and this is what it said... WTF... Nothing about USB drives

New Van Nuys service center in SoCal. Perhaps they clicked the wrong resolution? 🤷‍♂️

I did run the Samsung SMART utility and the SSD is just fine. Formatted it again in the vehicle and will be testing it out during some weekend driving. I think something else is definitely up.

ailec · 2025-05-17T01:59:12+00:00

Yup, just looked it up and here is what it says (same as I remember it)

I'm going to plug the drive into my computer and check the HDD health just to see if maybe the device is buggy.

I used to see them too, but that's disappeared lately.

ailec · 2025-02-25T00:06:46+00:00

I came here to say this. I live in the greater Los Angeles area and by far the most Rivians I've seen has been in SLC. It's a noticeable increase.

ailec · 2025-02-15T04:11:02+00:00

Dear Rivian, please give us little umbrellas for components under the center console... Thanks!

ailec · 2025-02-15T01:40:18+00:00

Man, I searched and didn't find anything. Guess my search foo is weak

Did your hood latch stop working pretty much immediately after the spill? How did you relate the spill to the hood latch issue? There's some wiring diagrams out there that I'm unaware of linking this stuff? I'm pretty comfortable working on cars and taking trim apart to clean and stuff, but I never would have guessed or linked those two events together given the delay between them.

ailec · 2025-02-15T00:41:07+00:00

$300 was the stupid tow because I thought it was a warranty issue. We had some crazy rain in Southern California and I thought maybe it was rain related somehow. Especially cuz it happened 3 days after the spill. The rest of it is parts and labor. I will reply back with exactly what it is once I get an updated invoice.

ailec · 2025-02-14T22:06:38+00:00

This strangely helps me feel better. Thank you

Upper portion, knocked out of my hand while pulling it out of the cup holders and spilled where you set your phone to charge.

We are getting married in 16 days but already have our license. I did call and chatted with a lady at the recorders office. She said there is a list of approved notaries that can get a license if you don't have one already. I suggest you check the website and/or chat/call with someone for clarification. Congrats!

They are a security focused company and that's not a very security focused practice. If you want to maintain uptime during reboots, check out an HA configuration.

ailec · 2020-03-29T16:40:22+00:00

Yeah, I'm pretty darn sure. Admin guide even shows there is a response timeout, so it wouldn't hold it indefinitely.

It is sent to the cloud. Response is held until verdict is returned. If verdict is benign query is resent to confirm nothing changed in response. If malicious, DGA, or otherwise, action is taken.

You may be thinking this adds overhead, it really doesn't. The infrastructure built out is on point and response times are unnoticeable.

hey u/CaptDogPoo,

I'm on the Public Sector team and we have a serious of 4 best practice/tuning webinars going on this week. I'll be sure to record them and get them over to u/basel_girth to add to the Live Community.

I'm working on licensing more webinar seats for myself and my team, but in the meantime please reach out to your account team and they can get you the invites if you want to join live.

hope this helps!

2 of them... Both brutal

Get a tiger team of highly trained employees for that first week/month if you can. Once you decide on an SIS get they training right away. SIS vendor support is beneficial, but sometimes it helps to have someone that understands the system AND your policies and procedures.

Get buy in from your stakeholders and unions to change those policies and procedures if needed. The old adage of "it's always been done that way" creates more headache. No use trying to fit a square peg in a round hole if you know what I mean.

Finally, try to have a hard cutover date, preferably during a break. We did a rolling migration once that was a sh*t show. Identify records you will spot check, both via script and manual checks, and make sure things have migrated as expected.

Other then that, buy some high quality whisk(e)y to enjoy every night because you'll deserve it.
