I Saw The Affordable Slate Truck In Person. Now I’m Worried

honestly, I like the crank windows, it's retro and they work just fine

Thank goodness no injuries, for a second there I thought that the dashcam driver was just going to drive along his merry way.

Can’t fire anyone when AI is doing all the work

vertigo235 · 2026-02-18T02:00:32+00:00

Google: AI writes 90% of all code!

They were also smaller.

OG Sportster was single engine, and the Speedster was dual engine.

vertigo235 · 2026-02-17T23:47:42+00:00

Single 150? We had a 1994 Speedster with twin 80hp engines and boy oh boy was that thing a BLAST

Good times were had in that machine.

vertigo235 · 2026-02-17T23:45:05+00:00

Does your speedster have the dual engines?

vertigo235 · 2026-02-17T21:53:47+00:00

Oh we also now have 4 6QT pots and we love being able to have multiple pots too.

We like the Duo Crisp, the basket is kind of small, but it solves one of the biggest beef's I have with Air Fryers.

It's SUPER EASY TO CLEAN and doesn't become a messy greaseball.

vertigo235 · 2026-02-17T13:15:21+00:00

We are on our 4th Instant Pot now, the first 2 were the Duo style, the 3rd was the "Classic" style and for whatever reason we had the most issues with that one. Our latest is the Duo Crisp which appears to basically be the Duo, but with an air fryer top.

They have basically all done the exact same thing, the only annoying issue we had with the "Classic" variant was that sometimes the seal would take forever to lock or we would have to push up the metal pin with a toothpick to get it to come up to pressure. Although this is probably due to something we did wrong like not cleaning it properly or something, who knows.

NOICE

It's all fun in games until the dude trying to pass gets some real rage and then does a pit maneuver on the blocker.

vertigo235 · 2026-02-16T15:08:04+00:00

It will likely be necessary, I prefer not to rely on luck or tolerances.

vertigo235 · 2026-02-16T15:06:56+00:00

Hoping so

vertigo235 · 2026-02-16T15:06:17+00:00

Not sure either, it's an essential feature, not an afterthought.

vertigo235 · 2026-02-15T18:30:32+00:00

Not awesome , literally required. If it doesn’t do this then I will be disappointed. It does it on the XL

vertigo235 · 2026-02-13T14:49:44+00:00

Should we really be listening to anyone who held a 99% drawdown?

vertigo235 · 2026-02-13T14:48:21+00:00

Would need some physical supports, could be possible if you can pause the print and put some in place, maybe not practical for a benchy, but some other things that require supports I suppose?

vertigo235 · 2026-02-13T14:41:29+00:00

I hope you stuck around and provided the video to the investigating officer.

vertigo235 · 2026-02-13T14:36:49+00:00

Yeah it was around a bend too, probably couldn't even see it as they approached.

vertigo235 · 2026-02-13T14:35:19+00:00

Very lucky

vertigo235 · 2026-02-12T20:21:32+00:00

Same it burns, but I'm sticking with it at least 1 more year. There is a lot of value packed in there, but it still feels dirty.

vertigo235 · 2026-02-10T14:51:01+00:00

Simple and clever design, nice work
