@YIMBYLAND Have you actually been to Galveston? Because it's not that great. I mean, it could be worse, but I wouldn't exactly call the beach there "pristine".

Galveston remains one of the most underrated parts of the US. Imagine living in a 100 year old Victorian in a walkable neighborhood minutes away from the beach for under 500k. Insane.

@jtaby Agreed. I thought it was going to be an issue, but it's totally not. But let's not do something stupid like, remove the stalks and put those controls on the touch screen too. Who would do something that dumb

My most controversial opinion is that before owning a Tesla, I was anti touchscreen in cars. After getting a Tesla, I’m much more pro touchscreens. Don’t miss buttons, and when I rent a button-rich car on vacation it drives me insane. Non-Tesla UI drives me equally insane though. The car becomes much more UX sensitive when it’s touchscreen based. Carplay is worst of all worlds

@PoliticsAndEd In Austin, we used to say "don't move here" because we didn't want more people moving here. Now we say it as a real warning.

"People are leaving California because high taxes" Nope. This is the real reason:

@dallasteslaclub I still wouldn't use it. I like driving.

I have the solution for mass FSD adoption. Read carefully…, All teslas should come with FSD for free, BUT unless you subscribe you are stuck in sloth mode. Instantly adoption of FSD would 50X and would give everyone a taste. Then, if you want to go over the speed limit like the rest of the world pay 99 bucks a month and unlock the other driver modes. Freemium model for FSD. Thoughts? @elonmusk @wholemars @SawyerMerritt

@LordsBaron @NFLNumbersGuy You could argue they didn't actually play

@BrandonFFish @NFLNumbersGuy I just assumed all the Patriots fans pretended that one never happened

Things only done by one team in NFL History. Which one of these is going to have company soon?

@LordsBaron @NFLNumbersGuy You forgot the 85 season Super Bowl

@NFLNumbersGuy Patriots played in the Super Bowl in the 90s, 2000s and 2010s and 2020s. Steelers played in 70s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s.

@JoelitoFrito @BriskerSZN I think Barry was a better runner, but WP was the better back (catching, blocking, and passing!)

@BriskerSZN It may be hearsay but Barry is the only one I’d see as competition. I only saw him his last three years or so and he was embarrassing guys. He would’ve obliterated the rushing record if he played as long as Emmitt.

Would Walter Payton be the greatest RB in your franchise's history

@NFL_DovKleiman I mean I'm ok with it if it happens, but that doesn't really move the needle on their odds to go to the Superbowl. We have no idea how this defense is going to look.

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Bears are now the heavy FAVORITES to sign former Dolphins star WR Tyreek Hill on Polymarket. This would instantly make them a Super Bowl favorite. Chicago might land the NFL's fastest receiver 😱

@ThylacoleoCarn3 @JLucroy20 I said "traditionally athletic"

@BrandonFFish @JLucroy20 I hated fat Bartolo, but you're ignorant if you think he wasn't athletic, even looking like that.

You guys play once a week, we play "almost" everyday. The pitchers run poles to endure longer outings. Nolan Ryan did them everyday. He played 20 years and was still throwing 95 at 40. Position players run bases for conditioning in Spring Training. During the season, we don't do much conditioning as an everyday player. Why? Because we play almost EVERYDAY. Just for myself, I caught 200+ pitches every time I caught. That means I did at least 200 squats every game. (not counting warm ups before game and at start of inning.) If I caught 120 games in a season, that's 24,000 squats I did over the course of the regular season. Plus all of ST, and then the warmups before and during the game. We play 162 games. Plus Spring training, and then the playoffs if we get there. If you make the WS, you are talking 190+ games. NFL games are brutally violent, and I'm not understating that, but our game is more about endurance and longevity over a 7 month season of daily attrition. It is a marathon, not a sprint.

@CalebChamberla6 This is actually the number one reason I'm nervous about the upcoming EV platform from Ford. They could end up making great vehicles and software, but I sure as shit don't want to deal with their dealers.

The Tesla buying experience was so good compared to car dealers. Car dealerships are filled with slimy sales staff, eager to earn a commission. They pull every manipulative tactic, lie, hide fees. Loathsome businesses. Tesla was the opposite. The "sales" guy at the demo center didn't seem to care one way or another. He felt like a tech geek, excited to talk about the technology. Friendly, engaging, but completely ambivalent about making a sale. Prices were completely transparent. And of course, the tech and safety features in the Model 3 are unrivaled. Such a great experience end to end. My one complaint is that the Tesla app - which is required for purchase - had network issues and kept timing out while I was trying to do the digital paperwork. Meanwhile, text communication with the Tesla reps was slow, around a two hour response time. Room for improvement, but Tesla has reimagined everything about buying (and operating) a car. It's so much better.

@grochbegley Driving is not incredibly dangerous. Between 1.05 to 1.14 deaths per 100 million miles traveled. You are statistically 2.6x more likely to die from an accident in your home.

None of my lefty friends like me for this but I am personally pro-Waymo. Driving is incredibly dangerous. We now have many studies that show Waymo’s are genuinely less dangerous. Ride share drivers’ jobs are not more important than saving lives.

@robertgraham I think reasonable people can think that people traveling to the US for the sole purpose of giving birth feels wrong, but also think that the children of undocumented immigrants that have known no other home should be citizens.

I'm a centrist, so I don't know the answer to this. Do Democrats actually want "birthright citizenship" as the actual policy? Or do they simply oppose Trump acting like a dictator toward his racist goals?

@YourAnonNews Who's going to be raking the forests now?

@eaglesfan3535 @JLucroy20 and Ding Dongs

@JLucroy20 @BrandonFFish Bartolo hits dingers

@SMB_Attorney Two real competitive advantages: Software (most automakers suck at software) and no dealers.

@SMB_Attorney You may enjoy FSD, I personally don't have any desire for the feature, especially in a Tesla that is fun to drive. Only 12% of Tesla owners have adopted it, I don't think it's as big of a competitive advantage as you think it is.

These guys don't get it. Can it drive itself? Until it can drive itself, it's not competing with Tesla. Every other automaker is about to discover they are a decade behind...

@MixedKazekage @JLucroy20 You're out of your mind. Look at this Greek god.

@MaybeaBearsFan @mdwojak94 @bears_insider So let's say they moved to Austin TX. Would you still be a fan?

@mdwojak94 @bears_insider They were originally the Decatur Staleys. Halas moved them to Chicago for more exposure and fame. He, himself made his mark as a player in Hammond. You all make shit decisions at the ballot box. I don’t give a shit where they reside. I will always be a Bear Fan!

#Bears owner George McCaskey doesn't think at the end of the day that it will matter to fans if the team moves its stadium to Hammond. Cites the Giants moving to New Jersey.

@SawyerMerritt I'm definitely interested in their upcoming EVs, but I'm really not interested in dealing with their dealers.

Ford CEO in new interview: “We'll have an all-electric, affordable vehicle to compete with Model Y and Model 3. I think there's nothing else like it on the market. We started a skunkworks team 4 years ago. They were basically Formula 1 and Tesla people. That vehicle is radically different. I'm really excited to show everyone maybe late this year or (early) next year. It will be coming out next year.” (via Spike's Car Radio)
