I'd argue that Perplexity is in this camp as well. It's my go-to for anything more open-ended or for multi-step research I need to do. No need to wade through garbage search results, and it cites its sources. Kagi seems to be doing very much the same thing, but in addition to their paid search engine service.

I don't know that I'd switch from Perplexity, but I could see an argument for it.

I'd say the major stuff is:

• miles driven per charge and the average speed (mph/kph) per charge (preferably getting as low as you're comfortable before recharging)
• control for variables like always keeping regenerative braking on or off
• average outside temperature between charges
• how many chargers or charging stations were out of commission? What number and what percent?
• how far out of your way did you need to go, on average, to get to a charging station?
• how much time did you spend charging, on average?
• what charging speeds were you able to charge at? If your car can fast charge, how many of the fast chargers were unavailable (occupied or out of order), and how often did you need to charge slower as a result?

And not related to data: how is the drive feel? How are the driving dynamics? EVs are heavy. How did it feel in inclement weather vs dry?

I agree. I chose not to go with the P1S because of Bambu's proprietary nature. I don't NEED to SSH into my printer or mess around in the internals, but it's nice to have that option, especially once a manufacturer moves on from an old model. It would be ideal to have community support once that happens. I went with the Qidi X-Plus 3 because of build volume and price too, not just openness, but aside from Bambu's wireless printing for some reason requiring data to go through their cloud I've only heard good things. I think this move to allow third party firmware is very smart and will draw more of the maker market, not just the average consumer.

There's a lot that goes into the print speed, including volumetric flow (measured in mm^3/s) and minimum layer time, used for allowing layers to cool enough before printing the next one so the print doesn't end up a blob. You want to slice the object and then look at where the speed changes in the preview. That will give you an idea of what's happening. It could also be down to the settings Cura uses for PETG.

I've been a software engineer for the last 17 years, with the last 11 years having been in management. The further people get in their career the easier it is to forget to stay humble. You can't always be the smartest person in the room. It's statistically unlikely. One of my favorite books I've read is "The Secret: What Great Leaders Know and Do" (not to be confused with "The Secret"). The book covers how you can stay humble in your career, reinvent yourself, value the contributions of others, etc. The fact is that even if you end up in a leadership position, you won't necessarily be the smartest person in the room. Even if you made a great decision for the team years ago, that may not hold up now. Be open to the fact that you're wrong. Be open to change. If you can't do that then you're going to end up set aside as a dinosaur. Adapt. If you don't then you'll be left behind. And be kind, because you never know who you'll work with again. Being smart isn't carte blanche to be an asshole to anyone who isn't as smart as you. You'll likely need them at some point if you stick around long enough.

It's annoying to me that sometimes I have to use Reddit because the only answer I can find to a problem I'm having is in a Reddit post or comment. I would prefer to never use it again, but I'll settle for only using it when strictly necessary.

Are you sure what you got was good quality? I find Massachusetts to have the best quality stuff near me. I've purchased from New Jersey, but have questioned the quality on occasion. Once it was bad enough that I felt pretty off for a while, and felt like I was going to pass out, but ultimately didn't. A couple of other times I've been stoned and just got light headed when I stood up, but that could also just be chalked up to getting up too quickly or not hydrating enough, and might've happened with or without weed.

It's possible weed just doesn't agree with you, or a certain strain. From your other comments your doctor told you not to smoke when you brought it up. None of us should contradict your doctor's advice, but if you're not going to listen to that, then I'd at least suggest getting a second opinion.

Shit, I'd take four 10-hour workdays and a day off over five 8-hour workdays. It's not about the hours per week, but about being able to enjoy a full day to myself.

I'm struggling to understand the role a grand jury played here and why they wrote a report. Maybe somebody with more legal experience can chime in and clear that up.

It's my understanding that a grand jury is convened prior to indictment and consulted as a step to strengthen the prosecution of a case. The grand jury chooses to indict and can compel the testimony of those involved. This, however, sounds like it was past pre-trial phases. So what was the purpose of convening a grand jury at this point?

Then there's the petit jury, which is the jury of 12 everyone thinks of when they hear the word "jury", which is the group of people responsible for making a formal, unanimous decision at the end of a trial, assuming the defendant didn't waive their right to a jury trial. It almost sounds like the article is talking about the petit jury, but makes a mistake and calls them a grand jury. Confusingly, I still don't understand why a petit jury would be writing a report, either.

Since the jury is just made up of average people, who writes the report? How do they know what the format needs to be? The report sounds damning, but these people aren't law enforcement or legal experts, so how much weight does their report carry? I think they're right, mind you, especially given the judge's admonishment of the police officer, but I'm just left with many more questions than answers.

I'm so sorry you see things this way. I just left my job after many years at the company, and while my goal wasn't to make friends I definitely ended up collecting a few along the way. I was in upper management and definitely cared about my team, and so did the directors under me. I befriended some of the people in the C-suite as well. They threw a nice, big surprise going away dinner for me, which they definitely didn't need to do. I've met up with former coworkers in other departments to catch up, because we genuinely enjoy each other's company. I hope you find a place that values you and that you can find a friend or two that you can keep in your life.

I was lucky enough to own that alongside the Shelby GT350 for a short while, but ended up selling the GT350 within a year of getting the R8 since I have no need for two sports cars. I need a practical vehicle, so I got a Macan Turbo. If I could've afforded a Lamborghini Huracán I would've gotten that, but I couldn't, so I got the next best thing and I love it. For anyone unaware, since VW owns Audi and Lamborghini, the R8 and Huracán share the same chassis, and a whole bunch more parts. Mine is a base V10 (not a V10+), so it has a different transmission than the Huracán, but the engine is the same.

I'm FINALLY going to be able to take the R8 to the track to see what it can do. That's why I bought it four years ago, and it's what I did numerous times with the GT350, which aside from overheating issues was fantastic in its handling. I hope the R8 doesn't disappoint.
