All without interstates of course.

High on the list is bopping down to Mt Angel for Oregon's biggest Oktoberfest and staying in a small quaint town nearby. It's all farmland and covered bridges down there

sometimes i think i'm going to do this but looking at a 6 hour drive turning into 10 usually restores my senses

My dad and I once took a trip from DFW to Boston via Ashland and Buffalo and managed to avoid interstates for most of the second day, it was super nice.

Main two things I've got going are that these are places and things I either haven't seen in years or at all so the journey itself will be nice, *and* I'm not sure my car can even reach the prevailing speeds on the interstate.

We now have an extra Monthly Team Meeting because the gooberiest teammate demanded it but it just happened yesterday and she didn't show up until it was almost over lol. Said she didn't get an alert but that's a crock of poo poo she just wasn't paying attention.

We told her we'd already wrapped up so she wanted us to go over everything again but I left the meeting I don't have time for that loving crap

Chicago is cool for trains. There's a suuuper long Amtrak line that goes from Chicago to DC via West Virginia and it goes along the New River Gorge it's awesome if you've got the endurance for it

I've yet to take the Empire Builder train from here to Chicago but it's on the list, supposed to be the most comfortable long-haul line that Amtrak has. Got double-decker cars with viewing windows for when you go through the rockies and skirt along Glacier National Park

I used to live right by the steel bridge where the train line goes over the Willamette, it was fun to see the Coast Starlight come in from SF. It's always several hours late because of BNSF and you can tell everyone looking out the window is exhausted and *done* lol

Once took the old Orient Express line from Istanbul back to Munich and at that point (2007, it only lasted a few years more iirc) it was just a single sleeper car that made the whole journey. Old stock from East Germany, real rickety but was a nice trip anyway.

One of my fav tourist interaction moments was when I was on vacation in Buenos Aires and a clearly lost couple came up to me and asked me in brazilian portuguese where some museum was. It was fun because apparently I looked the part to them and my language skills had gotten good enough that I understood what they said, but unfortunately for them I had no clue where it was

I use emacs with that there lsp-java, it's nice. Java famously has it's own vm so no need to dockerize the whole dev env. We still build a docker image for it since we use kubernetes and still have a nice docker-compose setup for goobers who got taught wrong and are scared of their own machines.

One of the best dev envs I've had was a few jobs ago, everyone had their repos on remote dev machines and web servers set up such that any checkout suvdir in your main work directory would be served by <subdir--name>.<short-username>.company.local and you didn't have ro worry about reloading on code changes or anything. Using git-worktree with it was super nice, just a simple command and you had your branch checked out and served up so integration tests and QA or whatever could do their thing.


Also meant that any day when we lost the connection to the colo across town where the dev machines lived was a free day and everyone got to go home

Raluek posted:

are there any decent manuals for mercs? I thought I remembered reading that none of them were any good

you sure you got enough fluid in there? your description in the weekend thread sounded like not. bad vacuum modulator usually manifests as really late shifts iirc

From what I've read about manual swaps not a single person who's done it has regretted it. Not sure I have enough fluid in the transmission and not having enough would explain a lot, but it's also bone dry down there so I don't see any leaks. In order to properly test the fluid level I gotta drive around a bit though so I figured I'd see if it was something silly like the vacuum line to the modulator fell off beforehand, it holds no vacuum at all as if it's not even there.

Gonna do some engine health stuff before driving it too, might as well get some easy wins in.

On the docket:

* valve adjustment
* compression test
* individual injector tests
* diesel purge
* throttle linkage revamp
* VCV test to make sure it bleeds vaccum at the right level and the right rate
* switchover vacuum valve inspection and possible overhaul
* some cleaning and detailing to make the engine bay nice and purdy

Going to take it to a shop down the road to get new motor mounts as well. I have the parts coming but the way my garage floor slopes on one side I don't think I'm comfortable attempting it myself

cjs: made a doc a while ago about setting up kubectl for one of our projects that says "add these entries to your .aws/config file exactly as shown" and am currently fielding a question from a teammate saying "I'm following the doc but getting 403s, what do I do to fix it?"

"Did you copy it exactly as shown?"

"No I changed the AWS account numbers"
