@pythonbynight @vossisboss yep. This was my take in 2023, that it's about the fundamental nature of coding vs writing. https://samfirke.com/2023/12/22/llms-are-good-coders-useless-writers/

It's held up two years later, I use LLMs constantly to accelerate my coding and never for writing.

(I'm still salty about paying $450 for a PCR flu test some years ago).

[#CarAdvice sought on wheels]

I found a decent looking new set of 19" wheels for $765 installed. It'll be good to check this task off the list.

I wish I had my winter tires on already given the incoming snow!

If I could do this over, I now see my Odyssey minivan takes 18" wheels and perhaps I could get cheaper rims and tires at that size -- but I already own the 19" winter tires.

I can't find any set of wheels cheaper than $893 installed: https://www.discounttire.com/buy-wheels/drag-dr-69/p/20890 😬 Feels steep but also I don't see a better way forward?
