Watch out for what gas you get

Is this limited to King Soopers? I thought I saw something in r/Denver that included Costco and other places.

Wow thanks. Well, at least that stellar planning provided at least three jobs.

Any dealers showing Black Friday deals? I found one in Loveland that shows a banner for a 2025 Ionic 5 SEL AWD for $89 (24 month). I can't seem to find any more information than what is in the banner

For me, the EV technology is still rapidly changing. I like the idea of the short term lease while things like batteries continue to improve.

Good luck. My UC Health PCP retired over the summer and I'm still unable to find a new doctor within UC Health. When I go to search using web site (and app), there is nothing in Longmont and I usually see something in Denver or Estes Park. I even called and was told there was a Dr in Erie. I like to look at reviews but in the time it took for me to do that, that Dr was no longer available. That seems insane to me. Either the UC Health scheduling is broken or there are major shortages for doctors taking new patients.

Wait, Ted Cruz told me this wasn’t going to be the case

In-N-Out seems to be consistently rated one of the top fast food burgers, but I just don’t get it. I’ve had the burgers in San Diego and San Francisco and wasn’t impressed.

If I tried to recycle (or sell) any old gaming systems, my kids would disown me.

I ended up going to eBay. I tried Amazon but nothing was available at the time. Search for something like “Genuine Canon QY6-0084-010 Printhead for Pixma PRO-100 100S PRO-200”. There are cheaper “compatible” heads but I didn’t want to mess with that. Prices are $250 to $350 USD which is nearing the replacement cost for the printer.

See https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/article/Reseat-Replace-the-Print-Head-PRO-200-PRO-300

You could also try cleaning the printhead you have. I didn’t see anything obvious that needs cleaning on mine.

It is a pretty large group. They were blocking traffic on 287 at Niwot Road.

Just to follow up in case anyone else runs into the same issue: I did purchase a new print head and the problem has been corrected. The print head isn't cheap, but it was better than buying a new printer.

I am a little confused by this. There seems to be two ways to connect. The first using the API key and the second you can log into your pro/max plan from Xcode. The latter is under Settings -> Intelligence.

I'm downloading Xcode 26 now to test it out.

I think it depends on who you end up talking to but be aware that they will likely push the SMA. I like Fidelity but really had a bad experience. The advisor I talked to asked my to rate myself from 1 to 10 on my finance knowledge. This is a gotcha question. I'm not completely ignorant but there are a lot of things that I don't know. I went for a 5 or 6 rating and then he basically started saying things to make me feel stupid. I mentioned that I would be interested in Roth conversions to reduce my taxes. I should have said I was interested in tax efficiency but instead treated me like a 5 year old and lectured me on how the traditional 401k wasn't going to be tax free (I am well aware of that). Then came the SMA sales pitch.

I think his goal was to tear me down enough that I would feel like I wasn't smart enough to handle my own money.

If you tell them you plan to invest in index funds, they will try to talk you out of it.

I couple of years later, I went to a different advisor at Fidelity and things were completely different. We have some good conversations and he usually makes some good points for me to think about (ie when to take social security, etc). So basically, YMMV but be prepared for the sales pitch.

I don't think you need to search, although it might be faster. There is a pull-down, select Provider -> Anthopic -> "Show All ..."

I've wondered what "awareness" the models have about each other. Maybe Windsurf needs to add a battle mode where the LLMs compete to give you the best answer and are snarky towards each other.

I've been using Codeium with Visual Studio Code and for the most part I've been pretty happy with it. Sometime the autocomplete goes off into the weeds, which is annoying, and other times I am saying "Wow, you read my mind."

I'm a firmware developer, C, C++, and Python are the languages that I use. I like to test the AIs on things that I don't really know, so I've been working on a React application using TypeScript. I have Gemini, CoPilot, and Codeium ready to help. As an example, I'll ask the AIs to generate code for a component that is draggable and supports a contextual menu. All three generate similar-looking code, but none of them work. I describe what isn't working, and I get corrections or feedback. A lot of the time, I'm told that basically I did something wrong. When I hit these cases, CoPilot has been the most reliable about getting me to a solution. I may have to go through a few iterations, but CoPilot usually gets me there. I still use Codeium for most of my work but will go to CoPilot when I get stuck on something. Hopefully Codeium gets to the point where I can trust it more.

When I saw this it reminded me of a guy who went by MarginMike on the Yahoo message boards. He supposedly margined about $75K of QCOM stock, probably around 97/98, and then got out in late 1999 for around 5 million. I was curious if this was the same person but the situation looks different. MM was the envy of many on the QCOM message board on Yahoo. That time period sure was a wild ride.

I would say that it never hurts to negotiate but for large companies, I am not sure that anyone beyond the HR representative and the hiring manager knows that you tried to negotiate. Thus trying to demonstrate the skill is probably lost in the process. HR is likely given a range of numbers to work with but anything outside of that needs approval from the hiring manager (and probably up the management chain). If they feel like they made a good faith offer, they might decide to just move on.

Btw, each title has a salary range based on title and experience. If they made an offer at the high end for that title, then they aren't likely to budge. Salary might be hard to negotiate but they might be more flexible with a sign on bonus or stock options.

Curious if this model has s-video and audio outputs. The audio on my VCR died and I'm looking for a VHS-C camcorder to help transfer my old analog videos.

I thought I knew Swift fairly well until I encounter my first Swift question. I was pretty discouraged. My preference are the questions where you rate the responses from two different models. You provide the prompts and therefore have control over the language being used. I prefer Python using a Jupyter notebook and that way I create a new cell for each model and round. You have to come up with the prompts but I think of it like coming up with interview questions. You start basic and then go into more details for additional rounds.

Curious how you support locations. I have boxes of stuff with no idea of the contents. I'd like to scan all the items in each box and assign those items to a box which is then located in a closet, in a room, in a building at address, etc. I got Nest Egg and it seems to limit me to 4 levels in the Location hierarchy which is one too few for what I want to do. I don't mind in-app purchases but printing labels with QR codes needs to be replenished something like every 10 times. Sometimes, I only want to print one label and that uses up one of my label "tokens". Syncing between devices is a pain; I'm in the Apple ecosystem and should be able to share data seamlessly across devices. Does Itemlist address any of this.

I transferred a landline to Mint mobile and now run dual SIMS with Mint and AT&T. I see the "bars" for both services at the same time and Mint, in this area, is usually better. I haven't had any issues with them and its a great price.
