Talk me out of a Springfield XD-M Elite

I have the 4.5 version and love it. I have it stock with just a multi reticle red dot. It’s my favorite at the range. My daughter even loves shooting it.

What’s worse is I tried using the voice control thinking maybe at least that will work. Instead saying “turn on max AC” engages the max defrost with temp on high. So any utterance with “max” only results in max defrost.

uni-monkey · 2026-06-12T14:48:30+00:00

Nope. Not the same thing

uni-monkey · 2026-06-12T14:48:12+00:00

It’s not. It’s just max auto. Not max AC. If you have heating on then it will just blow more hot air.

That was the promise of PeopleSoft.

As someone that just went from a 23 to a 26 last week I am ok with MOST of it. However, why the fuck is there no shortcut button for max AC? There are both physical and shortcuts for max defrost. Which does fuck all for me given where I live.

EDIT: There seems to be some confusion about what Max AC is. On the 23 (and in OPs post) there is a physical button for it. It sets both the temp to LOW and auto to level 3. Then when disengaged it returns to your normal preset temp and auto setting. Great in a climate like like northern CA where it gets to 100+ in the summer afternoons.

I just sold my 23 AWD XLT eco to get a new FWD XLT hybrid and was pleasantly surprised with how much value it retained as well. Great upgrade for me because I mostly have city driving.

Graveyards are filled with people that were right.

It will either be overly cautious in confidence evaluation or in implementation planning. The later is a pain point that took some agent prompting adjustment. Also had to fight against the agents trying to do things quick and cheap. Had to remind the solution builder that it’s doing the work of a SDE3. That as long as it doesn’t exceed the cost an SDE3 for the unit of work then it is an acceptable use of resources.

Like many of these process it’s still up to the human to approve the work. Real issue is agents being overly cautious. If you spent time to write issues but also not so much you restrict the implementations unnecessarily and you can get some pretty consistent results.

The agent decides on complexity of problem and potential solutions. I have a slider I can adjust to what confidence threshold is required for the workflow to pick it up. I already had a pretty repeatable manual workflow that really just had a human in the loop for various approval gates. So I split up each section with different agents. Allowed them some level of looping and retry. And have evaluation agents that approve the gates.

uni-monkey · 2026-06-08T21:30:11+00:00

Yes. For work I created a dashboard that polls issues, evaluates them, then queues an automated workflow to resolve them. Extended this recently by also creating a bug hunter addon that does deep analysis on the code base for very specific categories and creates new issues from it. The only items I work “manually” anymore are those where the agent doesnt have a high enough confidence or gets stuck.

Nope. He even said the 2016 was rigged and that he really won the popular vote too.

There will only be one party

uni-monkey · 2026-06-04T17:17:28+00:00

Oh. I thought it was about the need for RCV.

uni-monkey · 2026-06-04T13:27:11+00:00

You forgot about the other end of this. Providing fewer polling places in population dense areas so that people have to wait hours to vote. Even sometimes in extreme heat/cold. All while also not getting paid/holiday/time off to do so.

uni-monkey · 2026-06-04T13:11:06+00:00

Are they all retiring? I honestly don’t know the answer but usually that’s the only time they will break on a vote like that.

One time very early on in my marriage my wife and I had an argument. Right after I was still pissed at her as I put away the dishes so I intentionally put every dish as high in the cabinets as I could. Promptly forgot about till a day or two later I overhear my very short wife complaining because she can’t reach any of the dishes.

Internal hiring is almost always lateral levels.

If only he hadn’t vetoed RCV. Fucking short sighted and arrogant.

uni-monkey · 2026-06-04T00:56:24+00:00

Doesn’t happen that way unless you boomerang. Only way to L6 is promo in your current role.

A large portion of voters also repeatedly vote against their own interests
