@teslaownersSV I’ve been around a long time already. Welcome to our local X posts.

If you are from Japan, say hi…

@harukaawake @jmurphy9894 I want to meet these folks. I have a harmonica.

🇯🇵🇺🇸 Yes, there is a whole subculture in our country dedicated to the Southern United States (especially Texas). I'm glad people people abroad can appreciate it too!

Definitely worth a repost. Haha!

It’s Bastardfest day at Nakano Moonstep. Come down and enjoy the party with us. Starts at 6:00pm. Check the Nakano Moonstep website for more details if needed.

@MAGAVoice @catturd2 Definitely true. The other garbage is all propaganda.

@catturd2 MAGA is stronger than ever

Doomer grifters have no influence in the real world. MAGA is alive and well.

@YetiValhalla Man, I’ve been lazy on keeping up. I’ll try to be at these gigs too.

It’s music weather and a music weekend and I’m so damned happy about tonight’s gig and so many of the upcoming gigs. Here’s a little recommendation as I finally finish my three hour walk home ;)

Hello World! TISM Aussiemandias

Ummm, well, duh… That is why we are happy while they are insane. Thanks for popping it up again. I guess we need to do this daily, eh?

今夜(今)、東高円寺のUFO Clubのライナップはめちゃ最高だ！ 楽しみしてます！！！

Grok Imagine prompt: So, bro, here we go. Analyze this image, then turn it into some turbo mog riff on how awesome @grok imagine has been absolutely killing it. In other words - enhance the red bars, make it def as f*ck, and scroll it to 100% with a ton of humor, because...

@isfjcutebear As a formally accepted and legal, long term, society protecting, tax paying, family raising gaijin I love to see this.

🇯🇵 Japan Poll: 63% of Gen Z Oppose Immigration 57% of Japanese oppose foreigners (42% support). Ages 18-39: 63% oppose Ages 60+: 51% oppose Younger Japanese far more anti-immigration than the old.

@elonmusk @wholemars @typesfast I’m guessing it will be better than a Segway and have nothing to do with a Stirling engine or Ginger.

@typesfast Noted

If Tesla makes a car with 3 rows of seats, each with its own pair of doors so nobody has to climb over anybody else to get to their seat, they will create a baby boom the likes of which we haven’t seen in 80 years

@TechOperator Now go fishing or metal detecting or just take a hike outside and enjoy. I get my turn starting Wednesday, then back to job hunting after a few weeks or months of chill time. Good luck on your next venture too.

Day 10: I've been gleefully rejecting meeting invitations all week. I even scoured my calendar for ones scheduled weeks in advance. What a feeling.

@nettermike Wonderful story as always in a way that only Mike Rowe can relay it to the world in the best way possible.

Last week in Baltimore, Uber charged me $85 for a trip that usually costs $20. So today, I called Lyft and was picked up by a guy named Mike. He was driving a red F-150, clearly a work truck, full of tools and lumber... I sat up front. “How far to the airport,” I asked. “Fifteen minutes,” he said. “You in a hurry?” “Not really,” I said. “Are you?” “Never.” As we merged onto the road and settled into the slow lane, I asked Mike if he was a carpenter in real life. “Among other things,” he said. “Jack of all trades?” “Well, I don’t know about that,” he said. A while ago, I was a plumber’s helper. Then I worked in the heating and air condition game.” “How was that?,” I asked. “Hot and cold,” he said. I couldn’t tell if he was making a joke or not. His voice had a midwestern drawl with no expression on his face. “After that, I started carpentry. Trim, then framing." “You retired now? “No. I build campers these days.” “What kind of campers?” I asked. “I build them small ones you can tow most anywhere. They call ‘em teardrop trailers. I build ‘em by hand, one at a time.” “Yeah? How’s the quality,” I asked. “Pretty good,” he said. “Got a website?” I asked. “Sure,” he said. “What’s your website called?” I asked. “Mike’s Pretty Good Campers.” “Your company is called 'Mike’s Pretty Good Campers?'” “I like to manage expectations,” said Mike. "Under promise and over deliver?" "That's the idea," said Mike. "Is that what you were doing before you picked me up? Building a pretty good camper?” “Yup. But I was frustrated. I don’t work when I’m frustrated. So, every now and then I step away.” “And drive a stranger to the airport?” I said. “Never too frustrated to drive.” said Mike. “Driving relaxes me. Besides, we ain’t strangers no more, are we?” “No,” I said. “I suppose not.” As we turned on Airport Road, I said, “So what’s the plan? Wait for another call? Or head back to the shop?” “Ain’t decided yet. Guess I'll see how I feel in a few minutes.” “Good plan,” I said. “By the way, if I like your website, do you care if I share it on Facebook?” “Why do you want to do that?” he asked. “I’ve got a few people who follow me on social media. Maybe some want a pretty good camper, custom made by a quasi-retired carpenter who drives for Lyft when he's frustrated?” “Can’t hurt,” said Mike. “Once people see these things, they fall in love with ‘em. They got conventions all over the country for teardrop trailer owners. Thousands show up.” As we pulled up to the airport, Mike asked me what carrier I was on. “American,” I said. “Right here is fine.” “Pre-check?” he asked. “Yes,” I said. We pulled up to the curb. I hopped out, as Mike dragged my bags out of the bed of his truck. “You look familiar,” he said. “Have I driven you before?” “I don’t think so,” I said. “I would have remembered. Thanks for the lift.” “No problem,” he said. “Was the ride okay?” "Pretty Good" Source: Mike Rowe

@marty_friedman Agreed. Every night I simply unplug my HDMI cable and the light goes off when I want to sleep.😎

Every single hotel in the world should have this almighty light switch
