EgoIsTheEnemy

I refuse to feed my ego by judging others.

@wholemars I'm a Tesla fan and my feedback is: 1. Quit the virture-signaling and let us have the the Disney video app back and also let us have Paramount+ 2. Allow rear screen control for Carioke & Photobooth so my Lyft passengers can have even more fun.

Tesla fans & bulls actually give way more constructive feedback than Tesla bears do They’re not screaming “fraud” at the drop of a hat, but they are giving real suggestions to make the products better. Constantly. That is such a powerful forcing function for improvement.

One of the greatest commentaies ever. 🤣

@wholemars @grok Does Tesla still give you a mobile charger for free when you buy a Tesla

Get a quote from a few different electricians. Prices can sometimes vary widely. Some electricians will charge more than they need to because they know EV owners tend to have higher incomes and will pay it. A dedicated wall charger is the fastest charging option, but also the most expensive. For most Tesla buyers on a budget, I would recommend not installing a charger at all to start out with. The mobile connector on your car can charge using any standard 110V outlet you charge your phone with. You probably already have one in your garage. The only catch is that it will take multiple days to fully charge your car with this type of outlet. But if you only drive a little bit every day, and leave your car plugged in all the time when you’re not driving, this can add enough juice to cover all your daily travel. If you want to be able to fully charge the car overnight, use a NEMA 14-50 240 volt outlet. You might already have one in your garage for a dryer. If you don’t, have an electrician come install one and tell them you need an outlet in the garage to install a dryer, but are on a budget so you can only get it if it’s not too expensive. Then they won’t price gouge you. That NEMA 14-50 outlet will allow you to fully charge in your car in just a few hours. Just make sure you install it in the correct orientation so that you don’t have your mobile connector hanging upside down. The mobile connector that comes with every Tesla includes a NEMA 14-50 adapter standard. Remove the 110v adapter if necessary and attach the bigger plug to use it. So for anyone who has a NEMA 14-50 outlet in their garage, you don’t need to pay anything extra for charging. Your car comes with everything you need. If you don’t have a high voltage outlet, you can get one installed or start out by using a slower outlet and upgrade later. The Wall Connector does have a few features that are nice though. One is load sharing. Let’s say you have multiple EV chargers — maybe a home with 2 EV chargers in case both need to charge at the same time, or a business like a hotel with 10 or more chargers for guests. The wall connectors can communicate wirelessly to make sure they stay within a fixed power budget. So let’s say you have 60 amps available for 2 chargers. You can charge one at 48 amps, and then when the second plugs in it gracefully degrades to 30 amps for each, and you avoid having a breaker tripped. Another cool feature is access control. You can allow only certain VINs to charge, only Tesla vehicles, or any EV. If you have the charger in a public place like your business and want to be able to charge without worrying about someone showing up, plugging in and running up your electricity bill this is a great feature. You can provide EV charging as a perk to your employees in the parking lot, but ensure you’re only paying the bill for employees and not strangers. Another cool feature is the Universal Wall Connector. This includes a built in adapter that lets you charge any type of EV — not just a Tesla or NACS compatible vehicle, even older ones using the older generic plug. Wall connectors get software updates over wifi to add more features over time. If you want these advanced features get a wall connector. That’s probably way more than anyone needs to know about charging, but that’s what I tell first time EV buyers.

Staff: Tell them the Jesus picture was doctored. Trump: I'm a Doctor! Staff: Tell them it's a small military incursion. Trump: It's a great military excursion! Staff: Tell them they're coming seeking asylum. Trump: They're coming from Insane Asylums!

oh my god. was trump told to tell the press that the image was "doctored," but misunderstood and told everyone that he was depicted as a "doctor"?

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

Trump celebrated Biden’s cancer and the deaths of Robert Mueller and Carl Reiner and his wife. Now, he attacks the Pope. Trump is just plain evil.

An American voice: “Listen up, Trump, and every dumb f... in Washington who still thinks the Strait of Hormuz is some kind of American parking lot. This aint international waters. Never was. Never will be. Under the law of the sea, every coastal country gets twelve nautical miles of its own goddamn territorial water. The narrowest choke point in Hormuz is only twenty one miles wide. That means Iran and Oman own the whole fucking strait from shore to shore. Overlapping. Locked. Closed. No high seas. No open ocean free for all. Iran controls the big islands too, Qeshm, Hormuz, Larak, Abu Musa, the whole chain. You sail through, you are in somebody elses house. Iran never even signed that UNCLOS treaty, so they dont have to play your transit passage game. They say innocent passage and they mean it. You bring guns or you bring trouble, they can say no. America starts wars because it never learned geography in school. They  bomb first, read the map later. Before you drag us into another bloodbath, open a f...ing atlas. The water belongs to the land that touches it. Not to the country that prints the most dollars. Learn it now or bleed for it later.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

@wholemars "wiper off" voice command is your friend 😁

seeing an increase in (seemingly pointless?) dry wipes on FSD 14.3

I’m so jealous she’s so far from Donald Trump

BREAKING: Protesters in Hungary have reportedly left dozens of couches filled with condoms on the sidewalks all around the Budapest hotel JD Vance is staying at while campaigning for Viktor Orbán with a giant sign that says, "Welcome to Budapest, Couch F*cker!"

Anonymous My 13-year-old son just said, “Mum, I think I have a good idea. The people in America protesting ICE should call themselves LAVA — Local And Very Angry. And lava melts ice. You should post that and see if it's a good idea" We’re about as far away from the United States as you can get, here in Perth, Western Australia. But I hope the people over there know that even a young boy on the other side of the world can see when something isn’t right.

@wholemars @grok Is every part of Socialism bad or are there some parts that would be good for America if they were implemented through a democratic system? Can you highlight some parts that would be better for America than their capitalist versions?

AI will give Americans more of that they hold dear: Time, prosperity, equality. Socialism is a threat to everything the American people hold dear

Please tell me: what can I do better to assimilate? To finally become a good migrant? I am a board-certified neurosurgeon, one of only a handful in this country with additional endovascular training (still undergoing), currently with 19 high-impact publications and a doctoral thesis (summa cum laude) focused on the development of an entirely new field in the microsurgical training of young neurosurgeons, patented with the goal of free worldwide accessibility and reproducibility, and in the process of publishing my first book on this topic. I also happen to love whisky and currywurst. And everything about Western literature and art, just as I love and appreciate all these things in every other culture and civilization. Sadly, I am not going to support genocidal scum and child rapists commit endless crimes against humanity, if that’s your idea of assimilation. And I am not going to just watch them burn down the world in real time and shut up about it in order to protect myself and my career. I swore an oath. And I take it very seriously. (I do however apologize for the cheap self-congratulatory introduction for the sake of the argument)

Kristi Noem and her husband 😭

@wholemars I'm against any wealth tax but I'm also against the partisan talking points on Somali daycares. I think you can do better and be independent of either party and pick something we all agree on. We don't need the US government using that money to bomb the middle east.

$135 million tax bill, for one guy! I want Jamie Dimon to invest that money where it will generate billions of dollars in economic returns. If we give it to the government, they will fund 135 more somali daycares and people still won’t have healthcare.
