@FantasyEpics Some one does not understand what hairstyles are

Hard to believe this is the same actress....

@Haeze @DavidJeans2 We are talking about military action. Communication is central.

@DocDoc21516 @DavidJeans2 Actually, most people who kill someone else don't communicate it at all to anyone.

NEW- Tensions are rising between the Pentagon and SpaceX over multiple issues, including an episode where Elon Musk's company hiked the price of Starlink/Starshield - used to guide strike drones - at the start of the Iran war. reuters.com/business/aeros…

@PeterRHann1 There is no Ferrari ever made that is worth the price it sold for. Never happened. Never will. That is a part of the Ferrari identity.

You know what is funny. People saying I should be aware of Cyber Truck sales numbers. On a post where I stated I am not a car guy. The day I start posting about buy/sell auto stocks is the day I check that kind of data. I can say while I might pay several 100k for an old school Magnum PI fire red car, I would not pay 640k for that Blue..thing.

Scott Galloway said the quiet part out loud. 40 years ago, 60% of 30-year-olds had at least one kid. Today? Just 27%. It’s not “anti-kid” vibes or climate anxiety. Young people simply can’t afford to start families. When young men fall behind economically, the entire mating market breaks — and men without the structure of a relationship and family often spiral hardest. This one hit me. It feels like we’re quietly pricing an entire generation out of one of life’s most meaningful experiences. A society that makes building loving, secure families this difficult is storing up massive problems for the future. Do you think we’re doing enough to make family formation realistic again?

The thing that is kicking Gen Z's butt right now is Obama's cash for clunkers. Every one of us that graduated in the '90s that wasn't rich, at some point owned a $600 used vehicle. We owned it out right and we put $10 in gas in it and it got us where we was going all week long. Obama did away with cheap used vehicles, and now kids have to pay $500 a month to have a vehicle to drive even used.

@Haeze @DavidJeans2 Communication is a critical element to successfully killing people.

@DocDoc21516 @DavidJeans2 When it was used for communication, it was used to save lives in Ukraine. Once they strapped it to a drone that crossed the border into Russia, it was used offensively, and SpaceX shut it down. That offensive use was the abuse.

@Haeze @DavidJeans2 The belief that you can seperate helping a country defend itself from participating in the killing of people.

@DocDoc21516 @DavidJeans2 Tell me more. What is naïve about it.

@Haeze @DavidJeans2 lol. This is naïve

@DocDoc21516 @DavidJeans2 If they need it to defend themselves, they were given it for free. That is what Elon Musk does. He donates his products and services to those in need. But if they abuse it, he shuts it off so it will not be used to kill people.

@alphafox Oh no!!! 4 lights!!!

This isn't AI - we are cooked. 😲

@KathleenWinche3 You are several decades too last for this request

It’s a mess and the traffic is horrendous!

@Haeze @DavidJeans2 lol - so SpaceX will willingly contribute to everything up the the execution of the plan to kill people. How big of them.

@DavidJeans2 Raising the price ? Last I checked, SpaceX policy says you are not allowed to use it for ANY offensive weapon capability AT ALL, at ANY PRICE. That is why it was allowed, and even donated to Ukraine, but disabled when they started using it for offensive capability.

@SebAaltonen The Tesla model S was the only EV that looked better than this. And since that is not longer being made this is the best looking EV.

The new Ferrari EV looks horrible. I don't understand the urge of making EVs look like kids toy cars.

@brockpierson Why?

Please stop using AI to write your replies

@SP_LimitReviews Weird - Gen1 R1T (VIN 13000s) here and I have only had 2 instances requiring software resets etc. since I purchased. I would think software issues would be universal on the same hardware.

This is where I have to share my raw feelings about Rivian software currently on R1. The software experience they have created is good. It’s their own, with their software stack that they control. With that said, we have to stop making excuses for longstanding bugs. Like @SnazzyLabs had posted about long ago, having to do multiple Resets, logins and out to get core functionality to work is not the experience we should be having. I know Rivian and Wassym do not want this. I also know they are working on R2 stuff as well. As a person who has spent real money on 4 Rivian’s with 3 R2 reservation between me and hubby, we are huge fans. Have helped many become Rivian owners as well. But the long outstanding bugs are starting to boil over. It’s dragging the software reliability down. Apple Music has been in Rivian vehicles for just about 2 years now. We are past the stage of it being “new”. Spatial Audio is a key music feature, and for me, and plenty of others, you have to turn that off sometimes just to get music to play. I shouldn’t have to do that. Plus, you can’t change that feature while the vehicle is in drive. So then you have to pull over and fiddle with it just to get it work and sometimes it doesn’t. Rivian assistant can’t do it either. Among other issues, like HVAC preconditioning, unstable cabin temps, GPS locking issues, profile switching not getting right or switching profile after the driver has gotten in, mobile app live activities not functioning properly, and more. The live activities is important, because we don’t have a notification for charging start stop/complete except for charging complete on DCFC, so on a level 2 charger, I don’t know if there is an issue with charging if the live activities don’t appear. Same for HVAC if it’s not showing up I have to keep opening the app to check to see what the temperature is. If you aren’t going to push me a notification that the cabin is at the temp I selected in favor of the live activities, then the live activities has to work. I could go on, but I really love my Rivian. I love the brand, I love what they want to do. And I think R2 is going to change the market for most things, but I want their focus to be on software and stability. Focus on polish, focus on features that many people want, don’t over complicate those things. Example, valet mode should be here by now that locks down speed acceleration and access to certain parts of the vehicle. Basic Pin to drive, not the multi factors drive one that depends on your phone and vehicle having an internet connection. Speedy, clean, stable software is always a win. I know @WassymBensaid and plenty of others at Rivian can do this. We have seen it before and seen what they can do. The YouTube app is by far the best app they have added. I haven’t had any issues with it. It’s responsive, and works. Everything needs to work like that across the board. Please guy let me help in anyway I can, I just want the best for you and the community and customers. Let’s focus on that. I know some will see this as a complete complaining post but it’s not. It’s a plead to make the experience better for everyone and making the Rivian software the best software it can be.

@husheruk @Temulkar Seemed spot on to me

@Temulkar Because it was terrible, it ruined a dammed good book, the original premise was twisted out of all proportions by Paul Verhofen, his rewrite was disastrous and the cheesy propaganda was stomach churning. Changing Dizzy flores to a woman was stupid.

Watching Starship Troopers, still don't understand why it wasn't a massive hit back in the day.

@ThePenceagram @ThePoniExpress Odd life choice

@ThePoniExpress I cannot verify this because I've never seen it. I'm not some kid either, I'm 57. I won't watch it out of pure spite.

The Big Lebowski is a very overrated movie.

@steve_hanke Please provide examples of “too much government” prior to the formation of the U.S.

@Polymarket I think the church is a bit too late on this.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV calls to “disarm” AI, warning that technology must not be allowed to dominate humanity.

@ai_sentience Why the great and powerful simulator, of course.

If we're in a simulation then who or what created it?

@WizardSynth @lomaxx

This is where the “tax the rich” crowd lose me. Say I earn 90k a year and in 2027 I inherit $200,000 I invest that $200k and after 10 years in the stock market it’s now worth $400k If I sell it and realise the $200k capital gain, what the govt and the “tax the rich” crowd are saying is that I should be taxed as if I make $290k every year. Now if I try and split that CGT income across 2 people I’m “greedy” and avoiding tax But if I sell down in 4x $100k lots over 4 years and minimise my tax, that’s ok and nobody bats an eyelid - but it’s the same principle.
