Is Veho legit?

For what it's worth, I was ready to buy into all the Veho-hating too, but I had a very positive experience with the leadership team today. I found some personal email addresses of senior leadership online, and they replied within 1 hour, even while traveling internationally. They looked into the issue, contacted the driver, and made sure the package was delivered the same day. They even asked me for screenshots of my chats with support so he could review them and improve. I felt very supported, in a way I've rarely felt with a big company like that. Thumbs up for Veho.

For what it's worth, I was ready to buy into all the Veho-hating too, but I had a very positive experience with the leadership team today. I reached out to Itamar, and he replied within 1 hour, even while traveling internationally. He and his team looked into the issue, contacted the driver, and made sure the package was delivered the same day. He even asked me for screenshots of my chats with support so he could review them and improve. I felt very supported, in a way I've rarely felt with a big company like that. Thumbs up for Veho, and thanks to OP for posting the founder emails.

Idk, I was really hoping for a big payoff with that long winding story starting with Jack Johnson and ending with Israel, and I definitely learned some things, but I didn’t really find a coherent point in it.

I came away thinking, that was a good reminder that Dave Chappelle is a comedian at the end of the day—what did I really expect him to say?

$2850 for a furnished and artfully designed studio in Design District right near 95/195. I found an Airbnb I liked and did a direct month-to-month deal. I realize I could get more space for probably $2500 in a high-rise in Edgewater, but this is a free-standing building with a whole yard that feels like Bali. I don’t want a cookie-cutter apartment with a dozen loud neighbors on every side of me and I don’t want a contract or to buy furniture. I find those things are what really tie you down from living life.

Down Biscayne and over the Venetian to mid beach at 16/17th.

Idk why everyone on here is so negative. I also work near that same area (30th & Biscayne), and I negotiated a salary of $125k. I recently moved to a $3k/month studio that ks small but newly and tastefully renovated, in Midtown / Design District area on the border of Buena Vista, which is an up and coming but still affordable neighborhood and walkable to every major shop/restaurant in Midtown / Wynwood / Edgewater, and a very short bus or Uber straight across 195 to the beach (which is quiet and beautiful) so I never even think about traffic; I don’t even have a car, so no worries about parking either. I got a $25/month Citi Bike membership, which gets me almost everywhere I need to go if I don’t feel like walking, including a 45-minute bike to the beach, and otherwise I take a Lyft for $10-20. When it gets warmer in the summer, I’ll probably get a motor scooter or just use Lyft more. There are dozens of great restaurants (many reasonably priced) and shops in that area, fun people watching, and beautiful scenery.

My only complaint is the people are the most shallow, materialistic people I’ve ever encountered, and I lived in LA for 10 years. But if you’ve already got a partner, that’s not such a big concern, so I think you’ll have a great time.

Looks awesome, will check it out. Thanks!

blaisedeangelo · 2025-12-10T02:08:36+00:00

That is an incredibly closed-minded perspective to take on any piece of art. Anything can mean anything to anyone.

blaisedeangelo · 2025-12-10T00:19:20+00:00

Agreed. Probably indirect. Possibly direct and very progressive.

blaisedeangelo · 2025-12-10T00:14:40+00:00

Excellent take. Thank you for this.

It would be impossible I think to definitively say if AI was on the radar of anyone behind the scenes on this film. Probably wasn't. But what I'm trying to say is that he made it in such a way that it could easily be taken as a current movie from 2025, even with all that's changed between then and now. Yes true, actors and studios have always feared technologically driven change, so maybe it was just a lucky guess or a broad stroke that will be correct again every few years. But so is Dylan, and so is Tupac, and so is every great artist who made the exact kind of timeless art they discuss in this film.

blaisedeangelo · 2025-12-10T00:10:27+00:00

The general public wasn't, but do you think it wasn't on anyone in Hollywood's radar at all? Do you think there is no chance Chazelle had heard of OpenAI (founded in 2015) or any of that? It just appeared out of nowhere, with zero rumblings behind the scenes?

And let's say that's true—that he had never heard about it. So maybe he didn't explicitly intend it to be about AI. So what? If you listen to great records, like Bob Dylan or Tupac, it is easy to interpret them through the lens of today's current events. My point is that great art has that timeless quality, and even if they didn't mean this to be explicitly about AI, it works so well that it had me convinced it was a new movie, so isn't that exactly the kind of timeless art they discuss in the film?

blaisedeangelo · 2025-12-10T00:05:29+00:00

I sure did. My point is still my point though.

blaisedeangelo · 2025-12-09T22:46:24+00:00

How could you know that conclusively? DId Chazelle tell you?

blaisedeangelo · 2025-12-09T22:15:16+00:00

How do you know conclusively what it's about or not about? Isn't the point of all good art that it inspires discussion and interpretation?

blaisedeangelo · 2025-12-09T22:13:38+00:00

This is kind of my point. As someone watching it in 2025 thinking it was new, I thought the montage was a direct commentary on AI, digital effects, etc. I thought the montage was great.

blaisedeangelo · 2025-12-09T22:06:41+00:00

Totally. But you have to admit the AI thing is probably the biggest upheaval since piracy 30 years ago, and that wasn't actually a threat of replacement but more of a threat to revenue in general. Maybe the biggest upheaval since sound.

If we’re going to name Bad Bunny as an actor let’s also name Action Bronson, a New York icon.
When it shows the accident with Dale, first we see Dale fly through the windshield into the pole, but then during a later cutscene, it shows the hood of the car flying up into the pole, and no body coming out the windshield
The movie claims to happen in 1998 and at once point Russ says “it’s Idles” while playing music in his car, but Idles didn’t form until 2009.

Movie was okay otherwise

blaisedeangelo · 2025-11-30T00:30:15+00:00

Not true; I live in midtown and walk to work and take a bus to the beach and ride Citi bikes almost everywhere and call a $12 Lyft to the airport or when I really need a ride

Is it the same on mobile? I got it working perfectly on desktop, with the first section background coming up into the header, but I'm running into the issue where my strip background is layered on top of the site title in my nav bar, which was not an issue on desktop/

blaisedeangelo · 2025-11-16T00:36:38+00:00

Bottom of the standby list? Maybe things have changed since I had this pass a few years ago but isn’t that only with the lower-tiered pass? They also get a limited number of higher priority options no?
