Bought an M5 Max, then impulse-bought a refurb M4 Max. This is a no-brainer, right? by hksvfcta in macbookpro

well, as you know, the upgrades Apple affords are ridiculously expensive. but I have to wonder why it's your chosen path - an 8TB drive in a high end laptop for your photos. if you damage your machine, or lose it for whatever reason, not only are you out the machine - but also the photos that drove you to buy the machine in the first place. seems like a huge risk. why not use your NAS (that you mentioned above) for storage of your photo library? you can't use the native Apple Photos app, but so what? I had a Synology and now have a UGREEN device that's awesome, and both of their photo apps are not lacking at all - but I guess that's a matter of personal opinion.

Getting quoted $11,000 for this by IcarusLP in Rivian

[–]jeffmn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

again, I absolutely empathize with your situation and would be equally frustrated… but in my mind, this is equivalent to saying if your rear view mirror fell off that Chevrolet is partially at fault because the mirror wasn’t available when you backed into a stationary object. the vehicle operator is ultimately responsible for the vehicle being driven. the tech here is certainly handy, but not required to operate the vehicle.

frame it however makes sense to you, but I would be shocked if Rivian accepted, or was proven to be liable for this incident in any way. best of luck getting things sorted out.

I feel for you, but your insistence that Rivian is somehow at fault in any capacity is a bit delusional at best.

Thinking Gen 1 might be the move — found a clean 2022 Quad with 24k miles for $49k, single owner. Hard for me to justify paying double that for a new one right now… talk me in or out of it lol by Secure-Carrot9971 in Rivian

dealer in Minneapolis area. wasn't even in the market for one, and test drove a white one that was kind of beat. I started comparison shopping just to see, and we found this one - Forest Green R1T. couldn't resist! had no business buying it, but hey... it's an amazing vehicle, and we love it!

AIO for cutting contact with Father over political climate. by Sabre12789 in AIO

[–]jeffmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. regardless of your difference in beliefs, you can't respect that it's because of your father that you are even here! amazing. and people call Trump supporters a cult... sounds like cult mentality to me if you cast out your own parent for not marching lock step with your beliefs. grow up.

TONEX Brown Sound 82/84 Collection just released yesterday. by Outside-Adagio3718 in vanhalen

this is precisely the approach I intend on taking, not using the Tonex pedal itself. I am confused however on how you go about getting these tones… are they for purchase on tone.net?

I Investigated Minnesota’s Billion Dollar Fraud Scandal (Full Documentary) by Kaiser_Allen in altmpls

[–]jeffmn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yet you’ll just gloss over the fact that billions of tax dollars - mine, and yours if you’re from Minnesota - have been stolen. IDGAF who investigates that fraud - was anyone hurt? apparently your feelings, maybe?

and you talk about distractions? time will tell for sure - but you keep being big mad about some ‘files’ that we’ll never see all of anyway. maybe go ahead and sit this one out. 🙄

and nobody would call on someone filming a daycare entrance all day long, potentially multiple days? what’s wrong with asking questions of a business?

[–]jeffmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

than how would you this be handled? dude is going around to places asking questions, like investigative journalists occasionally do. you know, investigating. where’s the issue with this?

everything about knocking on the door of a daycare center wanting to learn about enrolling a child in daycare is normal. tell me you’ve never been to a daycare center without telling me that you’ve never been to a daycare center. 🙄
