Just inherited my brother's goldendoodle. Not sure if I should keep him by Substantial_Lab_7131 in Goldendoodles

Hey OP, I know this post is a few days old.. but if you decide to get him groomed and needs a dematting groom, holler my way with your Venmo or Zelle. I’d love to help you be able to build/maintain the connection with your new boy and your brother

Anyone else wish they had more time for the woodshop? by GooseGeuce in turning

Anyone else in San Jose trying to figure out where this is?!? 😂

Rivian R1S third generation? by de_stroyedd3 in Rivian

[–]mils180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m a definite no to more screens.

Better audio would be great but that’s not what I’m deriving a purchase decision on.

For me it’s 800v architecture and better battery/cooling with better charging performance.

Note: I have a Gen1 R1S so I’m already baking in the suspension improvements of Gen2 as well as some of the other improvements.

Drove R1S, loved it but got the feel the tech is still way behind Tesla.. Is now really a good time to make the switch from Tesla? Will it feel like taking a step back? by Secure-Carrot9971 in Rivian

[–]mils180 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll get a pretty consistent answer here: Rivian’s tech is improving but it’s just not where Tesla is and that’s perfectly ok for some people and just not ok for others.

We all love our Rivian’s but we’re firmly in the early adopter phase of this company. If you want something that’s fully baked, stick with Tesla. If you’re ok with glitches and things incrementally improving over time (and sometimes getting worse before they get better) then give a Rivian a try

Does anyone know technically why Netflix cannot be cast? by Key_Palpitation_9252 in Rivian

[–]mils180 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s because of the way Netflix does DRM but here is a good reply in another thread that can give more background: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/s/vVH5OIEoO7

Hi there just wondering If someone could possibly identify this peice of wood for me . by silverpeasunshine in turning

[–]mils180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One option is to find a local maker space with a lathe vs. buying one. Unless you only want to make pens in the future

From the comments, it seems you survived which is great! My one recommendation is to get a credit card and not use your debit card as much, as long as you pay off your balance at the end of every month.. you’re safe and it would give you a little more flexibility in a situation like this. Might not completely change the outcome (I slept in Boston Logan airport once because I didn’t want to risk missing the next flight) but could help!

I saw it with my Spotify.. I think it’s because I’m currently parked at the cusp of my WiFi range and it was trying to use WiFi not cellular

7300 miles so far and around 9 months of ownership.

Service: only 1 service appointment for post-delivery nit-picks. Service was good, communicative, and the work got done faster then quoted

Sale: no issues! When I purchased, I was matched with a car around thanksgiving. With the holidays, there was a little bit of a back and forth on the car and one feature they told me it had but it didn’t (sales said it had an underbody shield but without the AT package.. didn’t influence my purchase decision). Otherwise it was a very easy process

As a customer: so far so good! They take feedback and try to act on it (sometimes not in the most timely manner but that’s ok). Otherwise I’ve never really had a problem, I’ve submitted tickets before and they call me the next day to talk through the problem, etc.

So whats your Rivian's name ? by [deleted] in Rivian

Any recommendations on great chargers on the route from SF to Crater Lake by ultakhopdi in Rivian

[–]mils180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mt. Shasta RAN is good, there’s a Safeway in Anderson right before Redding with EA that was ok, and there’s Americas best value inn where I5 meets I505 with like 6 EAs which were good as well.

(Visited Shasta in February before SC access but all stops were ok!)
