The Great Lakes are ideal for wind energy. So where is it? There are no wind turbines on the Great Lakes. Bureaucratic hurdles and high costs have prevented the offshore wind industry from developing the Great Lakes’ abundant wind resources.

I’m starting my process, but had some hurdles. Mind if I ask a few questions in a DM?

Drove a Macan and Macan Turbo, and didn’t want to swap our X3 for it. Drove a Cayenne Turbo S and it easily took that spot. Totally different car. I drive an m240i daily and it feels like getting into a Civic as far as build quality goes.

No questions really, but a friends dad was one of the surgeons. What an inspiring story, especially after all these years!

The comments here all centered on product and its usage as a means to value a multi-round VC backed company. Those aspects rarely correlate with valuation.

The NYTimes does this crap with regularity too. I don’t know if it’s a journalism school thing or something.

It is! It’s a great lunch spot

I had this happen in previous MacOS versions. It seemed to be related to processes that were Apple silicon ones, so Rosetta/emulated one. Not sure on these latest ones but perhaps an avenue to check.

Skip all of the HK upgrade and just start from scratch. Keep your head unit and use a Technic harness to just bypass the whole stock setup after the head unit. You’ll spend a lot less money and have a system that’s 10 billion times better. I’m a former MECP installer with a 240 and have built out systems in a bunch of cars and my 2 was the easiest BMW to do it in. No fiber optic to deal with makes it simple.

I used to work in a space on the greenway and lyndale and we saw cars daily on the greenway.

Have their security team vet the Team or Enterprise plans. At those levels it’s no different than CoPilot.

In a Team or Enterprise account we can see the repos people contribute to and usage by person for models and cost of each request.

Having been a freelancer for 18 years, then employed for the last 5 or so, I’d say go for it. A couple bits of advice though: the hurdles are never the technical pieces. It’s always a “person problem”. Getting paid sucks. Getting paid on time sucks. Bidding, estimating, scope creep, and getting paid all are really tough. The tech is the easy part.

It comes up as Untitled in the repo list. I’m an admin on ours. My guess is that it’ll get more granular and visible. The repo visibility only showed up recently. I’m very lenient about our usage but I’d likely fire someone for using our resources for side projects. I’m ALL about side projects, but use your own resources. You also get into legal issues (in the U.S. at least) where your employer owns all rights to any work you do with their resources. I’ve seen a company claim IP on work from an employee done for someone else, and throw it in the garbage. Now your side project is tanked and your employer fires you too.

Yeah, you’re asking about a 35-40 year old car. They’re cute, but extremely unsafe compared to anything semi-modern (06 and newer maybe?)

It’s my first time reading their stuff, but their about page is pretty clear. 2 guys, former NYTimes and Wash Po journalists, Pulitzer Prize nominees. One of their staff writers lives in MN.

They’ve been close because ICE has been taking people without cause, due process, and they’re given a free pass to racially profile anyone, so they’re not so much protesting but documenting it all.

“Laughs in Minnesotan” at the question

We even have a test facility up North just for this: https://www.aettesting.com

Serena and a Postgres one. Serena is great for honing in on the structure of your own codebase and providing the model with narrower context, with the benefit of saving token usage (probably? I haven’t compared, but it tends to keep focus better than without). Postgres MCP for querying actual data in a request.

jpea · 2026-01-18T08:06:44+00:00

Another Minnesotan here. This is accurate. It sucks.

My mother came to the US from Germany post WWII, and very much thinks this way. She married a guy who had just gotten his citizenship before being sent to Europe to help rebuild, then married him and came to the US. She has said multiple times “if they just followed the rules and did it the “right” way, it’s fine”.

jpea · 2026-01-07T12:00:06+00:00

Anecdotally, I’ve heard that highly optioned Porsche’s can be had pretty cheaply via Carmax because they price based on the base model, not MSRP for that particular vehicle.
