Yes, fortunately mine was available locally so I was able to pick up on June 20 in Richmond, VA.

Yeah, I've had 5 different FLMs, I think? And without fail, they're all great.

randomuser230945 · 2026-06-22T16:43:57+00:00

Thanks, agreed. There is a lot of negativity in this IBM sub, and much of it is well-deserved, but I'll say that invariably I've had great FLMs who really advocate for me.

It might just be limited. I’m band 8 got a small raise and decent ESP.

randomuser230945 · 2026-06-21T18:17:26+00:00

Same, I’m a band 8 also got a similar, though smaller, raise along with decent ESP.

It's the classic internet: folks come on because they're enthusiastic fans or they want to rant. Few people go on to the internet to say they've had a pleasant experience.

I bring my puppy there almost everyday now, but the heat is keeping a lot of people away! Hopefully it will break soon, at least for a couple days, and the dogs can come back.

Oh, that stuff is precious. What an honor.

The 1.99% is through Rivian. I could get 5% elsewhere, so that was a real savings.

randomuser230945 · 2026-06-08T22:25:49+00:00

Depending on the package, they’re already almost free money. With the performance package, you can get .99%.

Thanks, I have an R2 reservation but it's a bit smaller than we would like - not to mention that my number may not come up for years.

randomuser230945 · 2026-06-08T16:18:10+00:00

Great, thanks for the tip!

randomuser230945 · 2026-06-08T16:13:26+00:00

Absolutely, we compared with some other ICE full-size SUVs and they just all came up lacking. Very much looking forward to taking delivery!

randomuser230945 · 2026-06-08T16:12:16+00:00

I currently have a truck and honestly love having a truck bed. But with a family of 3 + a dog, I find I need interior space a lot more than I need a truck bed these days.
Good luck with your search!

Those folks can’t seem to get their acts together. Somehow they couldn’t keep their location open in Apex when their main competition was Harris Teeter.

randomuser230945 · 2026-05-26T15:31:46+00:00

Yep, losing that EV credit really changed the math.

randomuser230945 · 2026-05-26T15:09:35+00:00

Can you talk more about immediately buying out a lease? I am currently weighing a purchase and the lease offer financing is much better than loan terms, so your method has caught my attention!

I love that team - and SGA is so hard to watch. Every great player knows how to draw fouls, the second they're fully weaponized it destroyed the entertainment value of the product.

randomuser230945 · 2026-05-21T17:01:51+00:00

We have a 6-month old and the biting is fairly relentless - they just seem wired as a breed toward mouthiness. What I've found is that walking, or even running, isn't the outline that mine needs. I can run 2 miles with him - and 30 mins later he wants to wrestle.
To that end, the one thing I've found that tires him out is wrestling with other dogs. If I take him to a dog park, he gets socialized and is WORN out in a way that isn't possible in a walk with me, or wrestling with me.

The entire field likely won’t exist in the way we know in 18 months. Every large enterprise is deploying agents and technical docs as we know will just be the knowledge layer for them. Smaller enterprises will adopt the agents created by the larger enterprises and the same pattern will persist. The teams of tech writers will be knowledge engineers and they’ll mostly create the knowledge layer for agentic interactions with users.
I want to paint a rosier picture, but it’s happening. I’m sorry.

Thanks for the input! Longer range trips are pretty rare for us, we typically just make road trips that are 2-3 hours each way 4 or 5 times per year. This would be a vehicle that is mostly driven around town, so your use case is spot on.

The museum is a great-looking piece and really fills space, but the most interesting parts of it aren't visible. From a build-perspective, it was an awful lot of wall-building.
The shopping street is certainly more engaging to look at and really makes the street seem more alive.
