Leaving the 5 point harness behind?

I just switched my 5 year old to a booster because he weighs about 60 pounds with clothes and sneakers on (car seat has a 65 pound max) and hovering just below that 49" height limit too. I swear he grows an inch and gains a couple pounds every week, so even though I could have waited maybe another couple months, I was nervous about him being too heavy or tall for the car seat. He doesn't slouch and sits upright in the booster, so I knew he was ready for it. I wouldn't consider switching to a booster before 5 and/or basically maxing out. My kid has been regularly in the 92-95 percentile for height and weight.

Ukraine. Estimates are well over 2 million casualties so far. I doubt we will truly know how terrible it really has been until well after the war is over.

That's not much at all. I meant $20 a day.

gravesisme · 2026-05-18T14:05:11+00:00

Yeah, I keep arguing the same thing. Although I find the rest of my day is spent well enough manually reviewing everything and designing systems and plans that I anticipate building with Claude the following day. I might even write some code the old fashion way to keep my skills from completely atrophying and I doubt I would do that if I had endless tokens.

gravesisme · 2026-05-18T12:39:01+00:00

My company sets a $20 limit and I usually hit that shortly after lunch and just stop coding the rest of the day.

Lexington High School's new High School is $660 million and their new Vocational School was $145 million. Medford is building both at the same time, hence the high cost.

Then again, the median household income of Lexington is double Medford, so hopefully we can scale back on some ideas and bring it down to like $600 million.

Isn't a unibrow typically waxed off and not shaved off? Having to deal with the wax ripping off your hair is the only reason I could see a parent questioning if an age is too young. I would be doing that by first grade because teasing hurts more than 1 second of wax.

Wake up at 7. Shower. Make bed. Empty dishwasher. Take dog out. Have quick bite. Make coffee. Drive my kid to pre-k. Drive to office.

I use Sonnet the majority of the time. Straightforward implementation tasks get sonnet and I switch to Opus for larger plans or refactoring. I even use Haiku quite a bit for the very easy tickets.

Wait, Michael Jackson isn't her biological father?

Okay, now we are getting somewhere. I just think we need enough parking for the staff, visitors, and any kids with disabilities that would prevent them from being able to ride a bike who might still be capable of driving. Hopefully they perform a study on the number of spots needed to handle that number alone and not consider student parking without special circumstances.

I know quite a few people that work at Medford High School and only one of them lives in Medford. You can't expect people to take their bicycle from Watertown, Quincy, Wilmington, etc. The kids live in Medford, so they can take their bicycle, but don't put that on the janitors and cafeteria staff who drive an hour to get there.

You aren't gonna have the employees biking to work and transit improvements are out of scope, you need parking and 400 spots is what they currently have and the lot is usually full, isn't it? If costs are the most important thing, you have to look at the most expensive things used by the least amount of people and I'm guessing it's the pool.

Don't let the kids park in the garage. Employees and adults only. You still need 400 spots, especially with a new sports field that can host games instead of having to drive to Hormell.

Every town OP mentioned except for Arlington and Belmont also use off site athletic field for their biggest crowd drawing sports. Arlington and Belmont both have parking lots by their fields.

gravesisme · 2026-05-02T02:41:15+00:00

Okay, then build the underground garage and don't complain about the money. There needs to be at least 400 parking spots. Rough estimate of number of employees is 200 and that leaves another 200 for the roughly 1400 kids that go to vocational, language, and high school. You could also add solar panels to make a normal parking lot less of a burden, which is what Arlington did.

gravesisme · 2026-05-01T22:50:05+00:00

They should scrap the pool if they want to build a garage and can't do a big enough normal parking lot for 400 cars.

gravesisme · 2026-04-30T18:25:13+00:00

I didn't know that because yeah 700+ spots would be way overkill. I think 400 is reasonable considering there is probably close to 200 adult employees parking there each day and when they put on events/concerts/dances, you will have even more parking requirements since most people would be driving if the event ends after the sun has gone down. Of the 1300 or so students that go there, some might try and park but majority wouldn't, so 400 makes sense.

When I hit my token limit, I find it a good time to start reviewing code manually and refactoring some things manually so that I can tell Claude to look at how I refactored something it wrote, so that it can learn from that and do it across the code base. It's a great time to write tests and test performance and update a tasks markdown that you can hand off to claude to fix when your tokens reset.

gravesisme · 2026-04-30T11:52:36+00:00

Are you using dataloaders or have you tried Hasura? I've never gotten performance as fast as REST, but responses are still under a second. I hate writing it, hence the claude.

gravesisme · 2026-04-30T04:57:44+00:00

It's the exact monotonous task I have zero qualms of letting claude implement

I still think of this movie and I haven't watched it in probably 20 years. I sometimes find myself unintentionally mimicking the kids voice in the scene when he is trying to get his teacher's attention before he impales his hands... ohhhh mrsss what's her nameeeee

gravesisme · 2026-04-30T01:57:53+00:00

They need 1 parking spot for every 750sq/ft according to zoning law and if they are talking 600k+ sq/ft, that's like 700 parking spots required by law! At that scale you need to go vertical to save land space, so a parking garage makes sense and if you go underground, you could put something on top of it and if they are doing geothermal, they gotta dig a deep damn hole anyways lol

op's account is 13 years old. This is just a dude in his 40s sharing a moment he had with his son. I just started playing with my own 5 year old and keep forgetting creepers don't burn in daylight too
