@ROOTCatZ Once.
It’s useful that I no longer live in the area code that my phone uses. If I get one that matches where I currently live, I can safely assume (so far) the call is legit.

@ipodmacbook Love this question.
Computing kinetic potential energy 100 million mph for an object that’s roughly 1mg gives us:
KE = 1/2mv^2
KE = .5(.000001)(4.7*10^7)^2
Result?
10^9 Joules. Unless you’re going the same speed - a nuclear-grade explosion occurs.

@mechabellum What's a good place to reach out for support? I can no longer play any Multiplayer game mode after my teammate logged off.

@NoLieWithBTC “…stating an OPINION as to what the law is”.
Whew. Was ready to start polishing my pitchfork for a moment there. 😂

@zmills @waitbutwhy Unfortunately at the expense of some pretty tremendous pressure on your sinuses and skin.
It works in a pinch though.

@waitbutwhy You are not the only person who uses the Vision Pro this much. I’ve found that counterintuitively the solution to the weight on the face problem is to tighten the included strap more than you think you should. It distributes it more around your head
English

Allow me to explain this absurd thing on my head (made by a 3D printer, not Apple).
I am possibly the only person on Earth who uses the Apple Vision Pro 20+ hours a week. As a writer, it's just such a MASSIVE upgrade to go from sitting in an office looking at a 32-inch monitor to sitting on a mountaintop, totally immersed and undistracted, looking at a 50-foot screen. There's just one problem: the idiotic way Apple designed their headset, all the weight sits your face. This is uncomfortable and was on the way to making me look 80 years old.
My friend @jcoon1800, also appalled by Apple, designed a solution: a headset that redistributes the weight from the face to the top and back of the head. The headset is now not touching my face at all—it hovers a millimeter off the skin. This is WORLD'S more comfortable, causes no skin damage, and can be worn for hours with no issue—way better than even the lightest headsets I've worn.
This isn't an ad and the headset isn't for sale. I just needed to say: The fact that one dude managed to figure this out and Apple somehow did not boggles my mind. @apple please talk to Jonathan and get your shit together. VR, even with a big heavy headset, does not have to be uncomfortable! It's all in the design.
(@mkbhd get in touch, you need to try this.)

@astro_alexandra NASA provides a critical, but also lightweight set of *essential* services for the country atm.
I want more, especially around Artemis, but our allocations beyond monitoring for threats should be extremely strategic and intentional with our current debt problem.
English

@markvalorian @anduriltech It seems we’re moving into a cultural time where flippant disregard for your perception equates to being grounded/based.
I’d argue that to some audiences this actually improves brand integrity. Maybe those are those demos they’re targeting here..
English

@anduriltech Never got this approach to social marketing. Gets insane reach but exchanges brand integrity to do so.
English

@whstancil @elonmusk This is just evil to say to anyone man. You can’t possibly know those people, nor their motivations.
English

Also @elonmusk I know this suspicion rattles around in your head all day every day, so let me confirm it: the people who are friendly to you, your girlfriends, your Twitter fanboys, like your employees, Republicans, Trump… they don’t actually like you. THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY.
English

@DanielleFong It’s a plausible and well-articulated action plan should they be seeking to takeover. What’s got you so convinced on that front to begin with?
English

afaict Trump/Musk's takeover plan / modus operandi is:
1. blitzkrieg with the ketamine putsch (bannon: flood the zone with shit), get as much done as possible with doge agents before elon has to be confirmed / pinned down because the resistance will let some missiles slip, and the most egregious stuff will act as chaff countermeasure for their more penetrating attacks, and to show who are loyal / disloyal (to trump party) lines. let a thousand boomer impune, let a thousand zoomers rm -foom.
2. pick and choose use court cases as test cases that the rep majority appointed supreme court can use to solidify power. consolidate around whatever retcon this fits.
3. as an opening move in any negotiating ploy, throwing everything up in the air and tipping over the table. starting with people who have the most to lose. the people least able to refuse.
4. the whole time, liquidate american entitlements and power for pennies on the dollar, and call it efficiency, like hostile takeovers or private equity.
5. dissolve DOGE by the time voters catch on and threaten to pitch our control of the house in the midterms. use Elon's new lack of official position as full justification for DOGE's attack on every guardrail, the perform sin eater. as legal attacks mount, Trump pardons Elon.
evil geniuses to be perfectly honest. not, as the left like to make out, stupid. actually they are smart enough to make their own perception of being stupid a weapon. note that he'll play crazy or stupid as part of a layered ploy, like Howard Hughes used to do -- and Trump clearly does

@cryptobeastreal Made my first SOL wallet just to join on this ride. Let’s see whatcha got mate.

@i_Forget_ Why do you dislike fire victims so much that you want to take away their options, right when they are most vulnerable? Is it that you think they’re too stupid to be allowed to choose, or because you’re simply cruel as a default?
English

This order is insanity. The LA fires and our governments response has radicalized me against our current government in CA in a whole new way.
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor
Today, I signed an executive order prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property. Make no mistake — this is a prosecutable crime.
English

@eshear @copykat510 Except they can still solicit offers….
CA governance is a mess, but of all things, *this* radicalizing you is pretty shocking. There are few scenarios in life in which a person is more likely to act irrationally than in this scenario. The motive, misguided or not, has merit.
English

@copykat510 If they don’t want to take an offer they can say no! Taking the offer away harms them, it doesn’t help them! Why do you hate fire victims and want to harm them by removing their right to receive offers?
English

@CallMeTasteless I feel like asking for recs has become the only way you appear in my feed somehow 😂
Also, Balatro might be a perfect fit?
English

@512x512 Started using Grok a little but still main ChatGPT.
Why? The conversation feature. It’s really convenient to not have to hit send or read text after every message during lengthy exchanges.
We use ChatGPT to learn while multitasking, like a “2nd screen”. Can’t w Grok!
English

@CallMeTasteless Bro ask ChatGPT I bet in can’t find you the exact niche/vibe that you want.
