I think that’s why they specifically put “early” build and price tool, which I’ve never seen before. Still counts as progress... I guess...

Sort of disappointing they're trying to cover their butts by naming it "Early Build & Price". 2021 F-150 order banks have been open for weeks now and they still don't have a fully fledged B&P tool out yet.

Mine was just a general statement about the overall pricing, not saying it was going to correlate to a smaller, unrelated vehicle.

Haha love that bolded part! Yeah my wife who was born and raised here in cville told me about that when we moved here from Texas after she was done travel nursing and I was done with the Army. How long ago were you here?

Funny side story, when I switched over to the dark side I was at Fort Lee for a little while before starting EOD stuffs. I had to escort new JAG Officers to make sure they knew how to lace their boots, shave their faces, etc. One came up to me and asked me to interpret his schedule, well I said you have PT in the morning and then what appears to be JAG stuff and basic Army knowledge stuff that my PVTs got in basic that I guess you skipped. And then I said "You have a blank spot here in the AM where PT should be, so they're probably doing a UA at that time."
JAG-O: "What's that?"
Me: "Piss test"
JAG-O: "But I already had one when I joined." --He turned very pale
Me: "Yeah they don't stop....ever. When you die, on your way to Valhalla an NCO will be there with a cup for you to piss in and an officer will be there with your OER waiting to see if you can proceed on or get sent to the Airforce."
JAG-O: "Oh.....Thanks....."
Me: "Are you one of those lawyers like Sean Penn in Carlito's Way? How much shit are you on?"
JAG-O: "...." and he walked away haha. DIdn't really see him after that.

Can't claim credit for that valhalla bit, my SGM said that to me when I dropped my packet for OCS and said I was leaving infantry to go EOD haha.

Don't the developers have a dev site? You don't Develop in production folks.Get the thing up, test it, the publish to production.

Damn the Bronco needs to come soon. My Jeep is costing me an arm and a leg. Went in for an oil change and state inspection. Now I need new breaks, new engine mounts, and new a/c condenser (~$2900). Ugh

Agreed, devs do stupid things, including losing $400 million in 45 minutes!

I feel ya, took my VW in for yet another engine light. Faulty radiator sensor, but you can't replace the sensor. Yeah there's a sensor in the radiator that can't be changed on its own, you have to replace the entire radiator....$1,100. Nope.

That is Microsoft's best practice. Put out a crappy piece of software and wait for complaints to come in, then they'll fix it. It seems to work for them lol.

in this day and age DevOps and CD/CI are the death of stable builds without quirks LOL. its all about MVP. (taking my IT hat back off)
