@SawyerMerritt @Apple How about better sidetone. I can’t use these as a headset for zoom meetings without decent sidetone.

@RapidResponse47 Zepbound pricing on TrumpRx is the same price Lilly Direct has been charging for at least the last month or two. Plus maintenance doses are still expensive ($449/month currently, $499 a year ago). @realDonaldTrump please work on getting prices lower on this!

Many of the millions of Americans struggling with infertility pay for their medications out-of-pocket, meaning they stand to save, on average, $2,000+ per cycle of fertility drugs thanks to TrumpRx.gov.
For example:
📉 The price of Gonal-F — one of the most commonly-used fertility drugs — falls to as low as $168 per pen, depending on dosage.
📉 The price of Cetrotide — another commonly used fertility drug — falls from $316 to $22.50.
📉 The price of Ovidrel falls from $251 to $84.
English
On TrumpRx.gov, thanks to discounts negotiated by the Trump Administration, the impact will be immediate for millions of Americans on common drugs that insurance companies often don't cover.
For example:
📉 The monthly prices of Ozempic and injectable Wegovy — two of the highest-spend drugs in the U.S. — falls from $1,028 and $1,349, respectively, to an average price of $350 and as low as $199, depending on dosage.
📉 The monthly price of the Wegovy pill falls from $1,349 to as low as $149, depending on dosage.
📉 The monthly price of Zepbound falls from $1,087 to an average price of $346 and as low as $299, depending on dosage.

@RapidResponse47 Zepbound on TrumpRx just points you to LiklyDirect which is not a price savings. It’s been those prices a while.

@elonmusk I do not have a long enough commute to justify the $99/mo FSD. I was considering trading in my current Y for a new one. With dropping autopilot, I no longer want to upgrade to a new vehicle. Tesla really needs to find a middle of the road option for people in my scenario.
English
I should also mention that the $99/month for supervised FSD will rise as FSD’s capabilities improve.
The massive value jump is when you can be on your phone or sleeping for the entire ride (unsupervised FSD).

NEWS: Tesla has officially discontinued Autopilot in the U.S. and Canada. All new car purchases now come standard with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control. The online configurator has now been updated to allow buyers to choose the $99/month FSD subscription, while still offering the option to purchase FSD outright for $8,000 until February 14th. New Tesla vehicles purchases still come with a 30-day free trial of FSD (Supervised).

@alexlindsay I used a 17 Pro Max with the BlackMagic ProDock to record a community band concert this past week. Worked really well!

@NotATeslaApp Applied the update to my vehicle this morning, now I have multiple errors with cameras, cannot use self driving, auto steer or cruise control. @Tesla botched my vehicle. @elonmusk 😡

Large broadcast groups honestly believe this nonsense will bring viewers to traditional TV newscasts. Actually, it will drive people away. Local mets under pressure to "declare" some type of weather "code red" situation on a cool, breezy, rainy day. It isn't a good look for anyone.
Tom Sisco@TrafficData_HSV
@spann I really enjoy your forecasts, descriptions, and analysis. I am so glad you do not declare “First Alert Weather Day” or “Impact Day “. Btw, it’s one in Huntsville today.

@DiaperDiplomacy Need to add Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana.

Shameless merch plug 🍼
Turns out the power company still won’t take Goldfish as payment. Help us keep the playpen lights on and this wild ride going, grab a coffee mug ☕ (or three).
Got a baby merch idea (hoodie, tumbler, coffee? 👀) or a politician who absolutely belongs in diapers but isn’t up yet? Drop it below, I’ll be cranking through the backlog this week.🤞🏼
I truly appreciate all the love. Y’all are amazing. This is the most fun I’ve ever had working on anything, and it feels like we’re just getting started ❤️🙏🏼

@elonmusk Only issue was defects with the finish at delivery. These things should be caught and addressed before the customer comes to take delivery.

@Hertz Poor service at rental pickup, unclean vehicle, and now you overcharged me. See my DMs! I’m not a happy camper!

@KarenBoyanton @spann @weswyattweather @AlabamaWXNet @rzweather Yesterday evening we saw some of the beach rescue folks go down the beach with their sirens running.

@ChrisC_AL @spann @weswyattweather @AlabamaWXNet @rzweather I heard someone drowned yesterday at PCB; I haven't seen anything on the news about it though.

@Hertz Someone needs to teach the people at the Oxford, AL location how to properly wash a vehicle. This is how I was given a rental today. The rep didn’t even walk me out to the vehicle to allow me to inspect it. 🤬

@JacobC_Wx @NWSBirmingham I’m tired of some media outlets sounding the alarm with their impactful severe weather messaging when it is not a major severe weather event forecasted.
English
While I understand updates like this are mandatory, I question why they don’t have a means to postpone them given the weather forecast tomorrow. Also, why is a mission critical system down for DAYS with an upgrade?? @realDonaldTrump @VP @POTUS @JDVance
