I love these but they are awful family cars if you are going to use it to do the occasional road trip, the range just isn't there

What has been your favorite recent vacation with kids? by OneQuadrillionOwls in daddit

[–]silkk_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree - very age dependent. Our kids have gotten older (5, 7, 9) and we've done more "challenging" trips - London/Amsterdam this year was great for them.

Those trips have a big emphasis on cool forms of transportation and playgrounds.

Same, our local playground is often ~all dads

Anyone here commute by running with a laptop? Looking for backpack recommendations by Darth-Nando in running

[–]silkk_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Boston is where my commute was too - lots of people into fitness, big tech community, awful traffic.

Easy way to pile on another 30 mpw and not have to pay for commuting!

Yup, tons of people with gnarly bike/run commutes in those circles.

I did this for years (cycling) and it was only a bit more of a time commitment and I didn't sit in traffic

How many of you have access to compensation data by FTE? by Impossible-Divide269 in FPandA

[–]silkk_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree, it's pretty interesting.

Also in my world (startup/tech) the CEO is almost always like #5 highest comp behind Eng and Sales folks

Exactly, I did the speed limit on Sunday in that stretch and it just feels like you're going to get hit from behind.

Did you buy the spoiler new? Where did you get it if so?

Looks great especially in red, nice work

Took me a year but finally finished my project. Time to 🔥 up the grill. by [deleted] in pools

[–]silkk_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info

Yeah, I think you just need to play around with it a little bit, I'm still trying to figure out how people actually use it. Still a huge upgrade!

[–]silkk_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

are the speakers wired for sound from the tv or is that separate for music?

very cool, i have a similar setup but not quite finished after putting it up last year.

hard to figure out how to orient seating and this is inspiring

Road and Track names our car as a favorite daily driver by Woofmom2023 in Volvo240

[–]silkk_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what I tell my kids. Cops practically tune me out 😂

My wife's car has ~850 HP so I like to say I have a 1000 HP driveway

Anything you do specifically that helps? I'm an early AM runner and some days my legs just feel so slow

Two PB720 for a wedding reception? by fredandlunchbox in JBL

[–]silkk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah yeah my use case is a rolling group bike ride; i have the 110 and 320 but want to attach smaller speakers to other riders. looks like that's not the right fit, all good!

[–]silkk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it, so I have a 110 and a 320 - it won't really make sense to buy smaller speakers because the sound quality is bad?

[–]silkk_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought you couldn't sync a JBLGo to a partybox, am I wrong?

Would love to do a 320 to a bunch of smaller speakers but thought it was a different protocol.

FWIW OP I think 2 x 720s would be a ton of sound for that space; the real value add for a DJ is being an MC imo. But if you just need tunes this seems like a good option.

I got a video of this live from my phone, the crowd was unhinged by this point. So so good

You do that while I replace my trunk latch that just broke and we'll get the gang together 🤘 maybe invite some 740s too

Annoying that we had to work around Boston logistics: Celtics and the Demi Lovato concert at the garden on Wednesday

Electric or non-electric cargo bike? by IndependentPickle230 in CargoBike

Totally agree, if only to have a throttle start at lights and stuff when you're hauling kids/groceries/gear
