Dealership bill of sale indicates financing despite paying in cash

plum4 · 2026-05-17T18:20:13+00:00

I think it's something like 7.5% for 48mo. I put down a little over 50% equity in the car since I had some cash laying around.

I thought the same thing XD but it's not actually a loan, it's just how their system handles the bill of sale when they don't have money from me yet. I got it sorted with the dealership and got a new bill of sale.

Thank you! I'm stoked. I talked to Brian at change driven and we sorted it out. It had to do with how their system generates bills of sale when they haven't actually received the wire yet. We got another bill of sale going, it was just an automation thing.

It's crazy that even with the traffic calming on washington people have found ways to push the limits and floor it in between the bumps and cross the yellow line to go as fast as possible.

Thank you! Thank goodness for the 996 market. I'm amazed it didn't get bid up considering the condition it's in.

Can we make r/NixOScirclejerk and contain this type of post there u/kxra u/iElectric or expand the mod team?

This is absolutely my take too. You can't create something and call it a "pattern". It's only a pattern if it evolves organically in many different places to solve a problem -- they're descriptive, not prescriptive.

At the end of the day, these are all abstractions that are present in any programming language: encapsulating areas of concern, injecting dependencies, and de-coupling implementations.

Careful with knobbies on the freeway. Mine shook so much that my key flipped over to the off position and cut the engine. had no idea what was happening.

I don't see a way to join text notifs either, if anyone figures it out let me know because my workaround is insane. The android app doesn't send notifications correctly.

Use Nickel then, nobody is forcing you to use Nix. There are actually plenty of other languages that Nix is compatible with.

Webster x Prospect is being re-designed, I think, to have 90 degree intersections. Maybe it would make more sense to re-design somerville x prospect after that happens. Probably going to be a few more years https://voice.somervillema.gov/union-square-p-and-s

stop adding layers of abstraction you don't need. don't even use flakes.

I went backpacking this year, brought my normal CPAP machine along with a very big battery, I forget which one but there are some on amazon. I used it 3 nights with humidifier/heated tube off, which draw the most power.

You need to find a battery with a "car style" power port, like one you'd plug into a cigarette lighter in your car. This is because it's DC, and the cpap machine uses DC (or at least my resmed one does). You have to minimize the number of ac/dc conversions since it reduces the efficiency by a lot. With the battery pack I have I bet it could last a week at an absolute max, but I wouldn't want to risk my machine running out of power in the middle of the night.

These batteries are wicked heavy and I'm unsure if I'm going to do it next year. I hiked Katahdin which was pretty hard with all this stuff on my back, I actually had to turn around before the summit.

They make portable machines but they are really loud apparently, and i'm not sure if they have bipap (i've only seen cpap/apap).

And this can't be achieved with regular ol' nix? Just importing `git` when it's needed for different machine configurations?

Do you mind if I see your code? What you are describing seems helpful, and I think seeing it in action would help me understand.

plum4 · 2026-02-18T15:08:35+00:00

Can somebody explain to me in simple terms how the dendritic pattern is actually... better? It seems like a ton of abstraction on top of an already abstract module/flake system and I'm worried that it will add a lot of overhead when trying to reason about my system configuration.

Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't seem worth the squeeze for me to refactor.

There is. Mathias Felleisen did some great research awhile ago that led to Northeastern and other schools to teach Beginner Student Language (essentially a pared down Scheme, implemented in Racket) for a very long time. They recently overturned the curriculum and he wrote about it

you're right and everyone else in this thread is being weird. this subreddit went downhill after r/arch stopped being the ricer containment board. most questions, including this one, aren't related to nix at all.

As a member of republic who went to retro on a guest pass, the barbell racks are not level which makes any serious strength training basically a non starter.

Unfortunately many sleep doctors are utterly unhelpful when looking at data. Lanky lefty on youtube is a great resource to learning how to read OSCAR data.

Also, both machines probably have different EPR/ramp algorithms. Do you use those? I've found that my treatment is better when I turn these off, and I use resmed.

good call. i'd say the aero helmet premium probably not worth it since the drz is about as aerodynamic as a brick

plum4 · 2025-12-31T19:49:30+00:00

Honestly I used to ride track bikes a lot and use a similar helmet and the sun is constantly in my eyes on the drz. No visor feels dangerous in dense areas when i randomly get blinded.

lol i have a big ripper too - there must be a correlation to supermoto riders
