It was fun going into car dealerships over the past few weeks.
Busiest (by far): Toyota
Fewest employees (heaven): Tesla
Quietest: Kia
Overflowing with unsold inventory: Hyundai
Oldest Customers (age ~80): Subaru
It may make me a bad American, but I didn't even consider going to GM or Ford.

The fact this one dude - by himself - can walk into any state and find blatant fraud everywhere he goes proves two things: 1) the fraud is rampant at an unprecedented scale and 2) the government agencies who are supposed to protect our tax dollars are either completely incompetent or complicit in the fraud.

Nick Shirley uncovers an adult day care in Flushing, Queens with 7,000 phantom members. Nick: “This public document says you have 7,899 members.” Employee: “No, we don’t have 7,000 members.” Nick: “So you’re overbilling then? You’re getting paid $1,600 per patient — that’s how you got $12.9 million in 2024.” Employee: “Please leave.” American taxpayer dollars at work.

Anyone can visit the Starship factory and launch site in Texas, as it is right next to on the public highway. It is incredibly inspiring to see!

SpaceX has released the next episode of its new docuseries about Starship.

I got to see this launch in person and yet this opens up an entirely new level of awesome. Very few people truly understand the scale, complexity, and human effort that is making this possible. Incredible.
SpaceX@SpaceX
The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.

@davepl1968 Brilliantly simple. Welcome to real world engineering at its finest. Guarantee there is no CAD drawings, no stress analysis, just a smart real world engineer with a box of spare parts and a tool bench in the corner. Comes to work every day and solves puzzles.

As interesting as "How it's Made" is, sometimes I really want to know more about how the stuff that makes the stuff actually works!
Like, who's the guy who thinks this up? Some autistic genius or a mechanical engineer? Or both?

Started small project that required more precision than my skill+tools could achieve. @sendcutsend wins again - cheaper, faster, better than I could do without spending thousands on equipment that I'll never fully utilize - and I get sour candy to enjoy while assembling. Win!

Should Apple have an App Store rule that transactional and advertising push notifications must have separate opt-ins?

Little tiny black specks that have been appearing around my house. They’re like…spongy. And they’re in weird places. These were in my sink
What this it?

@adamcarolla So, we aren't going to the game together tomorrow night? Damn.

@__0HOUR1_ @realDonaldTrump Just bought local fresh direct from source for <$5/lb - incredible quality. Find a local rancher.

Should not cost a family 10 bucks for a pound of beef.
@realDonaldTrump
This is unacceptable.

@CAgovernor ‘We’ … judicious use of that word. Makers v takers. Stop taking. Start making.

Something is fundamentally broken when we can mint trillionaires while millions of Americans still can't afford healthcare.
It's time for a national billionaires tax to end corporate tax loopholes and build an economy that actually works for working people.

@GavinNewsom Moving productive capital to unproductive waste managed by incompetent fools ... um, no.

It's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract.
10% of Americans own two-thirds of the wealth. Wages have stagnated. The cost of living has skyrocketed.
The system is fundamentally broken.
The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code were written for a different set of Americans.
It’s time for an economic reset.
