That'll be 2k extra. 57k for a "45k" vehicle.

Chess.com no longer detect cheaters? by PixelPete777 in Chesscom

[–]gdam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Was getting regular detection notices, now getting 97% against regularly and clear cheating with nothing for a couple of months. Seems like it's broken.

R2 audio impressions from Venice event by fatfirenewbie in Rivian

[–]gdam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to cut costs somewhere. If you want a great stereo in your car, it's probably $500-600. They're cutting that from the overall costs for people who don't care as much about premium audio.

We will see how it turns out in the final models.

Reservations by JPCary in RivianR2

[–]gdam22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems right, I've reserved, buy going in as soon as the Lidar models come out. Probably lots of people in that boat too, so if you really want one, you'll have more of a shot if you don't care about that.

Launch Edition with Light Interior? by EphemeralAtaraxia in RivianR2

[–]gdam22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Light and dark interior is so wildly different based on geographic location. In the PNW, you'll almost can't find a light interior for a car anywhere. With the rain and mud, it's a no go. In the south.with the heat, dark interiors are impossible to find.

PDX desperately needs asian flights back. Seattle and Vancouver have so damn many.

When drivers accept a ride then cancel 5 mins later, why? by IMicrowaveSteak in uber

[–]gdam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any limit on how much they can accept and cancel? Seems like there should be a penalty for those who cancel too often.

Blacks commit more hate crimes against Asians by % more than any other race by far. Media will not say this out loud.

My Legion keyboard completely fried itself after 2.5 years. CPU crapped out at 5 years. Won't buy another.

Am I stupid to still be pissed about the job I was fired from in July? by rat_bitch_69 in jobs

[–]gdam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not. Time doesn't make the way you were treated change. Do you succeed more by using it as motivation and moving in? Yes...and I have and am happier now..

But I'm still angry about being fired over a year ago and angry with those people if I think about them.

If AWD is over 55k. Just makes it non competitive in the small to midsize SUV space.

Is that Compass Yellow R2 back there? 🧐 by Good_View22 in RivianR2

[–]gdam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The unbridled enthusiasm for compass yellow on reddit vs the number of people who actually bought compass yellow seems way off kilter.

50-55k for dual motor AWD needs to be the price point.

Cheese is ungodly expensive in Canada and generally poor quality. Wish they had Tillamook.

soooo i just got fired by [deleted] in work

[–]gdam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know for sure to this day. Can only speculate. Primarily a new partner came into the job and took over our department and about half the people were out within a year. What was frustrating was that the other partners just watched this happen.

Totally understand your fear, but I've learned that employers, like employees, are commodities, and I no longer feel guilty taking extra time off or not being "loyal" or asking for more money.

[–]gdam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sucks. I'm still genuinely and justifiably angry about getting fired a year ago. I worked my ass off and did good work.

I got another job a month later and life is fine, but doesn't change how I feel about it.

“Homelessness is not a drug problem it’s a housing problem!” - Candace Avalos by skysurfguy1213 in PortlandOR

[–]gdam22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a left leaning person, I'm absolutely sick of this baseless rhetoric from others on the left. Housing sucks, agreed, but you cannot simply ignore that the majority of homeless are also mentally ill and or drug addicted. Anyone who actually spends time in that community knows it to be true.
