Hard agree. I studied abroad in Rosario (Messi’s hometown) for 2 months and did a solo trip for 2 weeks through Southern Patagonia (Ushuaia, El Chaltén, El Calafate). Beautiful country out there. Amazing steak and wine. Super friendly people. I know most of Latin America really dislikes Argentina and its people, but I don’t see it. I had a magical experience.

At first, I had a really hard time adjusting to the ssh, all the Italian-like inflections, and voseo. But I loved to embrace it. I still speak Spanish as I learned it there and get funny looks (like in Mexico), but oh well. It’s super fun and animated, and really quite unique.

Looks like a great adventure! Also love the roof rack / faring on yours. Mind sharing what brand that is?

St Mary & Virginia Falls, Hidden Lake, Grinnell Lake and about 50 other trails you could do by driving to the trailhead on time. Logan Pass is just Hidden Lake and Highline Trail. Look at the trailheads for each hike on Google Maps. If they’re not on Logan Pass then all you need to do is arrive at the lot on time before it fills up so you can find parking.

Vanultra Slipstream mounts with 2 locks. One on the front one on the back. It’s really solid

The compressor saved my ass when I had a flat going camping. I deflated, sealed it, re-inflated and was back to business. Finished the trip, went home and took care of the damaged tire. It’s one of those things that, hopefully you don’t need it, but if you do it’s a lifesaver. I would’ve had to get tow otherwise since I was out in the middle of nowhere.

I have a 7 month old and just took him backpacking for a night and then 2 nights of camping in our RTT (TOPOAK Vision XL). We learned a lot from that.

My experience is limited but I would say prioritize safe entry and exit first and foremost. That was my wife's biggest concern. I'm 6ft tall so I could easily let my wife climb up, and then hand our baby to her. So we'd never be in a situation where we were climbing the tent wearing him or carrying him in any manner. Also baby never, ever, ever, gets left in the tent alone even if sleeping or to chill on their own.

The second would be to have plenty of blankets (a rubberized hot water bottle is a lifesaver on cold nights), as the floor of the tent is exposed to the elements so you'll feel some cold come through depending on your setup.

Third is to have one of those big battery stations you can use to power a white noise machine and some lights for the entire night.

Be very mindful of condensation as well as the heat of the direct sun in the tent as well.
I'm sure I missed a lot of other things but this is what we're thinking of for our next trip.

I work at the fruit company and Claude has accelerated so many workflows and helps engineers/bug screeners/QA be so much more effective. Diagnosing bugs is 10x more enjoyable because you can extract salient details and reconstruct a sequence of events that led to the bug way faster. It’s not even a question whether you should or shouldn’t be using LLMs.

The question is: how can I use this new toolset/abstraction to accelerate my thinking, build prototypes faster, fix more bugs, and get to the real interesting parts of building large scale system software. At the OS level where you’re interacting with a whole topology of processes, frameworks and apps, it gets Uber fun to wrangle stuff with LLMs just because of the sheer speed it brings.

I started with the tucked version of the pull ups, and a bunch of tuck hangs to train ab compression. That should help you build the endurance!

I have the same issue! Half the time it’s a smooth crossfade and half the time it sounds like it’s audibly clipping the speakers on the driver display… you can hear the distortion pretty easily.

Definitely a sign of sloppiness. Cross-fading audio has been solved problem for a very long time now, so Rivian really has no excuse for such a minor but careless and annoying error.

A backup ratchet based loop as a safety net sounds smart. Someone else mentioned that in the thread and you might as well given how heavy these RTTs get and a fall could be catastrophic.

Damn, nice setup and seems much more economical. I just got a TOPOAK Vision (the 75 x 46” version) and it weighs 175 lbs. I got the SmarterHome Universal XL HD Lifter ($1k, rated for 200lbs) so I could remote control the hoist up and down onto my R1S. Going to do a similar thing as you and run a 2x6 along the joists that are exposed in my garage and then install the lifter just to be mega sure to evenly distribute the load.

Che, pelotudo is my favorite!

Colostomy bags save lives so you’re being generous there

Amazing, thanks for sharing your experience. How was the Yakima+Rivian rooftop tent? Worth it? Surprisingly little info / reviews about it online but I’m debating getting it.

I have not parked there, sorry! I moved out of state recently and just bought a Rivian. I just couldn’t help but let the nostalgia strike me when I saw it. Loved living in MTV. I feel like if you do park there once it’s fine but it generally in very sensitive to height and weight restrictions now so don’t want to risk it. That said, that Whole Foods has terrible (and very scarce) exterior parking which is super cramped so I’m not even sure what I would do if I was in your situation.

I feel like I’ve seen it before. Going to guess the one on El Camino Real in Mountain View, CA. Did I get it right?

Killed it man.

Great song choice 🔥

Loved seeing him every day when I worked on Pearl. “Everybody, look at me!”, and the bit where he contorted himself to the point where his face and butt met and made expressions of smelling his own farts were hilarious. He was awesome. Rest in power!

I hung it on my visor clipped onto my garage remote in case I need to present it. I’m not trying to add random stickers to my field of view unless absolutely necessary.

Yeah, I had to get my glass roof replaced and appt bookings were 1.5 months out. While availability sucks, they were really great at communicating progress and got the thing done in a full day (+ gave me a $300 Uber voucher for me to commute back and forth from Boulder to get the car). I'd say service was fantastic, availability is a bummer. Here's to hoping they can expand their service workforce and brace for impact with R2.

Louisville and Centennial.

Yes, no need for kneel anymore.
