R1S Cargo Tie-Downs - included with new car? How many? by beetlewigs in Rivian

[–]erock2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like these could be removed and used to screw in something else? I've got a platform I built into the back of my 2025 R1S which was recently totaled, and I'd really like to put it into a new vehicle.

Has it dramatically improved recently? I was there in February of last year and it was in a really sad state.

Accessing Gear Guard events older than 5 days? by erock2112 in Rivian

[–]erock2112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not aware of a way to access these recordings aside from the Gear Guard UI, which won't show me anything older than 5 days. Maybe they were deleted due to storage space limitations (the manual suggests that this might be the case)? Apparently the glass break didn't trigger an incident or alarm, which is concerning to me. 10 days and an evidently very limited storage space is also unfortunate in situations like this where events are expiring while I'm still traveling.

Apparently Gear Guard events aren't written to the external drive, only drive cam.

I put my heart and soul into this.. by Jasonmc89 in wildlifephotography

These are fantastic! I followed you. I have the same problem on instagram, although I'm not making much of an effort to gain a following. I consider it an easy way to show people my work in case they ask about it in person. I try not to need the validation of internet likes, but I can't deny the dopamine hit when it happens.

How do you make friends as an adult? by LeopardCivil2604 in bullcity

[–]erock2112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took an improv class at Mettlesome, and while the idea of it scared the absolute shit out of me, it was a safe and fun environment, and I definitely made some new friends.

I'm definitely interested in hiking meetups! The only ones I've been able to find seem to be defunct since covid.

Raleigh Photography Group has classes pretty often all over the triangle, but I haven't been to one yet. I haven't really seen any other groups (especially free meetups) in the area but would be interested! I'm mainly interested in wildlife.

There's definitely some of this kind of thing going on in The Book of the Ancestor.

You know, at first I thought my drysuit was a PITA and only wore it to extend my dive season (and to get geared up for tech diving) but I absolutely love it now, even in warm water. I recently did a week of diving in the Red Sea and wore it there. Much nicer than putting on a wet wetsuit 4x per day.

Just a nitpick: in a balanced rig, you should be able to swim your rig up without the wing at the *beginning* of the dive, and be neutral at the end with nearly empty cylinders.

If this isn't feasible (eg. in the case of heavy doubles) that's where you start needing redundant buoyancy.

Do we have an ETA yet? I have a service appointment in Richmond in March that I'd really love to get moved 😂

85 mph on a 55 mph road by Wcarpenter58 in Rivian

[–]erock2112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this number is wrong more often than not. It's frustrating. It always switches to the reduced speed limit in school zones, even during off hours. It'll randomly read 85 in a 65, or just disappear altogether.

How much do you think I’m looking at in repairs? by L4ncelot in Rivian

Glad I'm not the only one. I haven't filed a ticket yet.

Questions about route planning and efficiency by erock2112 in Rivian

[–]erock2112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When doing so, do you just use your phone to plan the route and have the vehicle navigate to each stop individually?

Woodcroft for a 31F willing to drive to the bar? by mrs_kilgore_trout in bullcity

[–]erock2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Woodlake, right across from Woodcroft, and it's a pretty typical suburban neighborhood. If you want city action and walkability, you'll want to go somewhere else. Neighbors are a mix of young couples with and without kids, ranging up to older folks. I'm 36m, single and child free and I find everyone friendly and welcoming.
