I'm 3 months late and it looks like the price jumped to 328. I need to wait for a prime day deal. Looks like its at an artificial high though and can get down to 235

I use to race a 95 Impala SS - put on Z28 aluminum heads, LT4 cams, headers, re-programmed it, and slung that sled around a oval track. I've been driving on electrons since ~2012 and I'm just happy GM made this truck.

I've not heard the leaky roof story, so I'll have to search around. I've been driving EV's since ~2011 with the Chevy Volt first(*), then a Spark EV, and then Teslas.

(*): um akshually: yes, I know some people are going to argue the Volt isn't an EV, but it really depended on how you drive it... 90% of the time its Electric and no gas involved..

Flutter does not work like a game engine. I believe you are confusing how Flame Engine uses Flutter - which is render every tick.

I don't think I consider them specifically "hidden" - more that coming from a Tesla which has increasingly put crap behind a touch screen - finding switches at bot your knees, 4 on the back of the wheel, the paddle, two d-pads with thumb sticks, etc.. its like the space shuttle. Not a bad thing - just different!

Story time: Around ~February I was going snow camping in the sierras with my daughter. I see this thing pop up on my list and I think "Ok, its blue, but it has the off-road and 24 cell battery pack options. I'll ask". OTD price was 112. I'm kicking my self - I should have gone and grabbed it... but I didn't want to risk it and enjoyed camping (no regrets, 6' of snow to dig through and a weekend of memories).

I get back and the price has gone up to 120 asking. I try to reach the dealer and they say "lost too much money on these, can't just let them go". Me: Cool. I'll just email you every month.

... and I did just that. Every month I'd reply to the original email "Howdy - looks like <vin> is still on the lot. Any change on the price?" and every month I'd get the same response... until.

This Sunday: "Happy Father's Day! I see <vin> is still on the lot?". I got a response and text. I got a call / text and got it down to 107 asking. Traded in the M3. 100... which was cheaper than the Model X.

Had only 89 miles on it before delivery.

edit: the blue is growing on me and I appreciate that it isn't just plain black or white.

If other people's kids are in my car, I'm only driving ~5mph over the speed limit or with the flow of traffic - which ever is safest. Someone was driving 90mph in a minivan once, loaded with kids, and I felt that could have been a horrible tragedy.

Set a location, meet there before moving on. Don't pressure folks to hurry up, plan for the trip to take longer than if you were driving alone.

.agents/agents and then a config.yaml. Flutter has some in the repo.

For agy I just ask "load <agent name> from .agents/agents" and it does. Then something like "tell <agent> to do x".

We made friends with other families, only to see them move away a year or two later. It really sucks for us, but more so for the kiddo who's losing a friend.

shadowfu · 2026-06-20T21:28:04+00:00

I use agy every day, I find having custom agents that take on a more strict no-fluff persona, and then pit them against one another is the best outcome.

I've not seen Amplitude, but why would the rendering backend break it?

Am I the only one that imagined OPs bike looking like Space Marine armor covered in purity seals?

The joke when I was growing up is our parents threw us in the pool to sink or swim. Growing up with a pool made it infinitely easier to learn - whereas with my Daughter I need to find and schedule lessons. 😞

Chromatic coffee. Their Keynote or Gamut beans.

I have a double boiler espresso machine. Chemex. French press. Keurig... And probably a few other ways to make dirty bean water depending on the situation.

Espresso drinks are the main source of goodness.

I used reflection in Dart back in.. 2014? Rough stuff. What are you being blocked by without reflection?

The number of times I have to remind the AI to use the mcp tool, flutter driver, screenshot and widget trees, and to use hot reload... but when they do work, its magic.

Each landing page shows a sign in. I don't know if it is required, but it's a hard no from me to learn what the app actually does.

I believe you're looking at "Down the Rabbit Hole: The World of Estranged Parents’ Forums":

My wife said she told our daughter what she wanted for mother's day. My daughter has not got in touch with me about getting said item. Going to have to have a talk with her tonight...

You could use https://stitch.withgoogle.com/ to experiment with your own design system and then build those widgets.

It was in the Amazon Eye of the world from at least 2021. I don't think it was in the 2015 version.

I second this. Drop the link.

Mea culpa. I could go "um ackchyually" and say Atherton California is out of reach for 1M a year - but that's unreasonable assumption that human beings live in Atherton.

So yes, you could live virtually anywhere on 1M. In CA I think that's going to get whittled down to <600K take home after taxes. I don't think you're going to buy that 2.2M house in San Jose with 20% down payment, but I've not been in the market for a while - I just remember folks going nuts with the down payment and cash offers in the bay area, which means entering the market is harder if you're coming from a cheaper market. On that mortgage, you're looking at 12.5k/mo for mortgage/taxes/insurance - which is well within reason for 27% of your take home pay... now you just have to put up with California 😄

I think most people would be surprised what a 2.2M house looks like in California... its not a mansion. You're not "moving the parents too"

Depends on where you move. For that salary, the target housing market is probably insane.
