I wish there was an easy way to buy the market while excluding specific companies.

Ah, they finally revealed the charging port location for the new Luce.

Nice.

I‘m staying the hell away from model cars. That‘d get out of hand right quick.

I've done some Gunpla in the last few months (picked up two kits, only made one so far). It's quite fun, very Zen as you're working.

I printed off some cat food can holders over the last week; and reclaimed a bunch of shelf space in my cabinet (as they can now fit in these super awkward smaller shelf area.

I find CF's takes to be tepid at best on most subjects. "Resigns" lol - the man freaking retired, he's 65.

Issues with Elon not included; I feel like they didn't even do the concept of what they wanted well. I also find Tesla interiors to be an abomination - who the hell thinks putting the turn signals on the steering wheel is a good idea? Should be illegal.

I need to get my Legacy redone at some point, I was ball parking like $10k for it.

I fucking love Taskmaster! Was one of the first things I added to my Plex server.

Awesome photos.

That seems horrid. But I also usually run with about 4-5 tabs max at any given time.

Got a loaner from the dealer while my car is in getting new tires. Thing is a boat, but pretty nice. Hilariously low power and awful gas mileage though (17.5 over it's short 500 miles of life).

Then he said, "your Z is what got me into Z cars".

You have that effect on people! What a great story.

The Mac Studio page makes it pretty clear.

I saw a screenshot of someone playing Diablo 2 on the OS X Beta; and at that point I knew I needed a Mac. So; I've been along for the ride the entire time. Don't regret it one bit either.

LLMs running locally based on your own data could be quite useful; and can't really be considered plagiarism either. I know we have our own internal one at work that is trained exclusively on our own data which is mildly useful.

2004 Jaguar XKR coupe. Weekend car. I inherited it from my father when he passed away in 2017. I love driving this car.

That Jag.

I don't know about EVs, but the Prelude is still on their site.

Bah, I confused the Prelude and the Prologue - which are like the same freaking name.

The Prelude is also not long for the world though, it basically doesn't sell.

Honda axed all their EVs, including the GM Made Prelude yeah.

My PHEV is an SUV. :shrug:

Some day, once I have my car barn, I'll have one.

Your Z cars are actually what made me love 'em.

Have you tried using The Force?

Nope, but I have tried lots of time ha ha. The blue pieces are:

2 coats filler primer
1 coat gloss black
2 coats silver
3 coats blue
2 coats clear coat

I give each coat at least 2 hours to dry… so you can see it takes some time.

Made some Diablo 2 Rune fridge magnets - the multi color print turned out nicely. Small little gift for my friends, giving them each an 'Enigma' set.

You should be able to use the 'Media Mail' option with USPS if you want to go that route; as they are magazines.

Too bad Apple won't let devices capable of updating to iOS 26 get updates for the older version. Guess I'm stuck running insecure software; thanks Apple.

The official configs are live; prices matched the leaks: https://rivian.com/r2

The launch edition is tempting; not sure I need that much power though. The Premium would probably meet my needs.

My five and a half year old iPhone 12 mini is still running fine. :shrug:

You can browse the web on 8 GB of RAM easily.

8 GB of RAM is fine for what it is. This is a machine for someone who doesn't know what RAM is.

Not to point out the @obvs; but I think we can safely say this machine is not for you.

My plan this summer is to pick up an M5 Ultra Studio with ~ 96 GB of Memory and at least 2 TB of hard drive space to replace my aging Intel iMac (2020).

Turns out, it's not! Looks great, love the colors.

What are you making your car parts out of? PETG? ABS?

I've always wanted my own machine; but dropping a few thousand dollars was a bit of a tough ask.

Time Machine to a Synology for local backups, Backblaze for cloud backups. Select files/projects are backed up a third time (coding goes to GitHub, photos are backed up to iCloud, etc). Two is one and one is none™.

And when Zcon comes back to LA in a few years, you can drive mine.

I have a distinct memory of you calling my Legacy a tarted up Corolla.
