@StumpGuyTy Love that you offered the option, always a price that might work
English

Me and a customer agree on price.
Customer: “Can you get this done today? We are trying to lay concrete ASAP.”
Me: “Sure, I’m not in your area though so I would need to charge you $150 extra to move my schedule around.”
Customer: “Ah no worries, it’s not that rushed, just schedule me when you can.”
When you are firm with your own schedule and policies, customers bend to you. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

@adamstatonsmith Kids probably need to be 12&14
And it’ll be a life defining trip for everyone

@_KennyUong_ @LADOTofficial Who approved this system to be on the same traffic system as vehicular traffic?
Such an idiotic ride when you wait a the same red lights as cars the entire length of the system
Bone head!

I teach my kids from about age 3 to come put their hand on my arm or leg if they want to speak to me while I’m speaking to another person. I then put my hand over theirs to show them I see them and I’ll get to them soon. Manners are so important to instill young.

My wife and I make our daughter wait if we (or other adults) are talking and it's one of the most counter cultural things we do

@jamesonhaslam It’s amazing how much babysitting and clean up has to happen

@stephsmithio And served at any random gas station throughout the country

@ClintFiore Proud work

@robbiehendricks Clean! Pair it with a flowering landscape design, good branding opportunity to be that lovely mobile home park with the hydrangeas
English

It is a wildly expensive project to asphalt a 100+ acre mobile home park that hasn’t been touched in decades.
But nothing sends a message like sweeping upgrades that completely overhaul the look and feel of the community.
This will be the leading mobile home community in the MSA by a mile when we’re done with it. No hyperbole.

@EVCurveFuturist It’s autonomy that will drive sales, the specs (while better than diesel already) won’t matter when it can drive itself
English

Congrats to the Tesla team.
This is a watershed moment for freight in America.
$0.15/mile EV vs ~$0.50 diesel
($0.60+ when diesel spikes)
Operating costs are the hero. Once fleets see it at scale and production ramps, sales will rocket.
EV trucks will take over the roads.
Extended POV:
This isn’t about specs. It’s about economics under utilisation.
Freight is brutal: high miles, heavy loads, tight margins. That’s exactly where EVs dominate.
Core specs that matter: • Range: 325–500 miles (523–805 km)
• Gross combination weight: up to ~82,000 lbs (37 t)
• Energy use: ~1.7 kWh/mile fully loaded
• Battery: ~600–900 kWh est
• Motors: 3 independent rear motors
Charging flips the model: • Megawatt charging (MCS) capable
• ~60–70% in ~30 mins
• ~400 miles recovered in a stop (real-world target)
• Depot charging overnight = lowest cost energy
Now the key part:
At ~1.7 kWh/mile
→ $0.15/mile assumes ~$0.09/kWh depot energy
Diesel: → ~6–7 mpg
→ $3–4/gal = ~$0.45–0.70/mile
That gap is everything.
And fleets scale that instantly.
Then layer in:
• near-zero idling losses
• far less maintenance (no engine, gearbox, exhaust systems)
• regenerative braking reducing wear
• higher uptime
And the system gets even stronger:
→ solar + battery depots pushing energy cost toward zero
→ load balancing across fleets
→ software routing + charging optimisation
→ predictable operating costs vs oil volatility
This isn’t a truck upgrade.
It’s a system rewrite.
Diesel = fuel logistics
Electric = energy + software
Fleets don’t buy hype. They buy cost per mile.
Once they hit scale production, it won’t be gradual.
Fleet is where the system flips. ⚡🚛

"Water scarcity is a choice" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
YIMBYLAND@YIMBYLAND
Very based. It’s about time that someone found a way to make private desal pencil in Texas. Water scarcity is a choice. The entire Middle East runs on desal, and there’s no reason that the wealthiest country in the history of humanity can’t do the same.

@unexplainables8 If you can’t see water, you don’t live in the Bay Area

@PatrickHeizer OR we build de sal paired with solar & nuclear
And build/grow as much as we possibly want

We could immediately decrease agricultural water usage by ~5% just by banning alfalfa exports.

“if you’re concerned about how much water data centers use, it’s way less than agriculture” YES BUT WE HAVE TO EAT. WE DONT HAVE TO USE AI

@Budgetdog_ 🔥 that wooden threshold, what a nice detail. Great work!
On the next one consider using the flooring to create a band/boundary to differentiate between spaces
English

@tovihomie Really nice!
Good luck
Consider switching the bedroom closet doors to swing outward; will maximize the available closet storage and shelving space

Incredibly spacious units @ our firm's 332 S. Doheny project in Beverly Hills.
10 units total.
The 1-bedroom units are each 840 SF.
The 3-bedrooms are each 1,360 SF.
5 stories total, including 1 subterranean alley-loaded garage level.
2 stairs (ugh) serve the floors, but there are no corridors, so at least we're not dealing with a lightless double or single-loaded scheme.

@Storage_Venture Yeah man, seems you have an eye for getting self storage deals. Could take some boot as well and enjoy something with it, maybe put a bit into S&P as well
