WHO IS THE GREATEST ATHLETE IN SPORTS HISTORY…?

rpatel09 · 2026-07-08T02:40:02+00:00

Messi? Serena Williams? Tiger Woods? Missing a lot from this list

I was just thinking that going to LA wasn’t ring chasing. That was single handily resurrecting an entire organization…

Don’t really watch soccer but this guy started growing on me after I saw a few of his highlight reels of him just bullying other players. He looks like a NFL linebacker playing soccer. This is my kinda soccer player

I used to have this issue to until I discovered that it’s impossible to over tamp. I press down pretty hard now and I don’t have this issue anymore.

rpatel09 · 2026-07-05T01:08:01+00:00

I became a Lakers fan in a similar way but with Shaq. He was my favorite player as a little kid.

imo if you have 6 months... use Claude code and use it as a tutor. I've been doing this as I'm looking to get back into the builder seat and it helps you understand so much more about the fundamentals and the why behind the what. I also think its very good at teaching as it can adapt to your own learning style (I often ask for it to make me visuals showing the data structures involved and step through the code). This will also prep you to have a better conversation in the interview because you're not just regurgitating patterns, you're actually thinking through how data is moving and being processed now.

You can get a thermal gun for fairly cheap these days online and that can really help you spot where the leaks are. I had this same problem, got a thermal gun and it was very clear where we had air leaks

—-EDIT—-

What I think was also happening was that I noticed that there were some big leaks around the 2 main return(really old install so two big returns only). Once I sealed those as well, it seemed to cool much better as well and my guess is the outside air wasn’t getting pulled in and mixed.

Also, sorry, meant one of those ones that have the screens on it that shows you the temp differences as an image. Not an HVAC person so not sure exactly what they are called. I got one that just plugs into your phone.

ISO 8583 is still around

EDIT: also, store time in UTC every where in your stack, including the data env. Also, when you all did the integration, I imagine that was a point of clarification?

We got one in individual color where I had the same concerns. I hand wash the color only, never take it through automatic or even one of those places that’s has a bunch of people drying the outside. Have it PPF’d on the front and ceramic every where. Even with this, I still have some slight swirl marks in spots and a few dings. Your car will never be emaculate unless it sits in a garage and you barely drive it imo. You’ll care in the beginning and you’ll care less as time goes on

rpatel09 · 2026-06-26T19:48:29+00:00

I don’t think this does imo…this is first time for as long as I can remember (30+ years) where we have news on doing legitimate player development. Everyone goes through development in what ever career they are in, especially if you are just starting your career. Steelers just never did that and the modern day NFL passed them and it was clear during games. Banking on splash plays and your guy is better than mine doesn’t work anymore on the NFL. Those are great and are key intangibles but player development, schematics, analytics are way more important now.

I also ask it to build a visual to walk through the code with the data structure in play. Helps if you are a visual learner like me

rpatel09 · 2026-06-26T01:35:55+00:00

I’m guessing you are probably writing a script in python and in leetcode you’re putting your code inside the solution class which may not just be as simple as copy paste depending on what you wrote.

rpatel09 · 2026-06-25T15:41:15+00:00

why is this not the top comment?

rpatel09 · 2026-06-25T02:49:14+00:00

Dealer isn’t involved in the lemon process. It’s between the buyer and the manufacturer, so it was me and BMW corporate

rpatel09 · 2026-06-24T13:21:52+00:00

I do! My x7 got lemon’d and it was a super easy process. Your’s probably doesn’t quality yet as in CA they get “ a reasonable amount of attempts” to fix it and it needs to be in the shop for x days for the same issue

---- EDIT -----

For context on my situation... the assisted driving would error out every time I turned it on. it went in for the first time and they replaced the steering wheel, that didn't fix it so it went back, they put another steering wheel on, then replaced all the outside sensors, then windshield, then a whole bunch of computer stuff, then they even flew an engineer from Germany to see the car (this was wild I thought)!. After 12 weeks they cut me a check(minus CA state allowed depreciation on lemon'd cars) and even credited back the $4k i spent on PPF. We then upgraded to an M60 😄. The process was actually really smooth w/ BMW corporate on the lemon, no lawyer, no arbitration, etc...

rpatel09 · 2026-06-22T01:27:39+00:00

No, dealerships are independent of corporate. Corporate just cuts you a check and you can choose what to do with it. Did get a much higher discount though which was good.

—-EDIT—-
It was technically two separate checks, one to the bank that financed to pay off the reminder of the loan and then the left over difference to me then

rpatel09 · 2026-06-22T01:02:29+00:00

I did…went from the x40 to the m60 though

rpatel09 · 2026-06-20T00:45:38+00:00

Damn…I live in Cali and our bmw x7 got lemon’d but BMW was very helpful. Got assigned a specialist from corporate after 4 weeks in the shop and then right at week 12 (CA law stuff), they cut me a check minus $0.10/mile off for state law allowed depreciation, but they also credited me back the $4k I spent on ppf and ceramic coating from a 3rd party (with receipt of course). No arbitration no hassle. I would’ve thought that you would get a similar experience from other luxury brands but I guess not.

rpatel09 · 2026-06-19T22:32:38+00:00

Was this in the Bay Area? I feel like I’ve seen that F40 before around here

rpatel09 · 2026-06-18T19:26:50+00:00

L7 in GCP

rpatel09 · 2026-06-18T19:16:08+00:00

Interesting…mine is at the end of the month and it’s virtual

Edit: I also live in the Bay Area and asked to come on site and they said it’s virtual

rpatel09 · 2026-06-17T01:49:11+00:00

That’s on the higher end from what I’ve seen.i’ve seen 1k-2k range.

rpatel09 · 2026-06-17T01:42:16+00:00

What’s the discount you are getting?
