One of Elon's most vocal critics just bought a Cybertruck.
Brian Krassenstein, who has spent years publicly clashing with @elonmusk, announced the purchase yesterday.
His reason had nothing to do with politics.
He has a young family and the Cybertruck is the only pickup truck in America to hold both an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award and a perfect 5-star NHTSA rating simultaneously.
When your fiercest critics are buying your product because the data leaves them no choice, that's a different kind of win.

@DevinOlsenn @Tesla Fair enough but why dont just edit your post then? I believe it's an option.

Apparently I need to clarify a few things for those of you feel personally attacked by this pretty innocent video.
I made this post to point out how great the window auto-close feature is on Tesla's. I guess I should have clarified (though I would have thought the 4k video would have sufficed) that this was meant to showcase how the windows will roll up for you without any interaction after you walk away (no key fob press needed).
Other vehicles do have this same feature, but MOST do not... and I am 10000% aware that there are a lot of vehicles where you can hold down lock on the keyfob to roll up the windows, but that is NOT what this video is showcasing.
It's crazy - I make a pretty simple post about a cool feature and it's like I have unleashed the hounds. People coming out of the woodwork to defend their dusty old BMWs... wild stuff.

Close Windows on Lock is such a great feature, hard to believe Tesla is one of the only car companies that does this.

@brockpierson Without reading any comments: my guess - hard disk, master/slave?

@gotrice2024 That's why you get an ikea contractor to assemble it for you. Don't get me wrong, i don't mind assembling ikea products by myself, but some are just a waste of my time and nerves.

This family just got an IKEA kitchen delivered to their new home. It’s 210 packages, and many people say the instructions are almost nonexistent, it’s just diagrams.
He’s going to have to unbox every part and arrange it in a way that can be identified so that will help with the frustration, many people who bought this quit out of frustration and tried to return it.
Whenever people order kitchen sets like this, should it at least come with better instructions or at least a video, have you ever tried to put something together and the instructions weren’t clear and you ended up messing it up?

@Aureo000 @seanj2492 @Thurston3RDD @HQNewsNow @AaronParnas @grok @X Lol, x is a sh*thole of fake info and such news (as this one) should be verified. How should i know if this is all true? Just believe the post? Might also then believe other posts (flat earth, no moon landing, matrix simulation, ..)

@seanj2492 @Thurston3RDD @HQNewsNow @AaronParnas @grok Disagree. I’m not for Trump & I’m neither pro nor against AI yet as there’s many possibilities, positives & negatives to it. But Twitter / @X is a cesspool so many lies and fake shit get posted every second so grok and community notes are needed to confirm truth more than ever.

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels.
I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so.
Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this).
The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman.
The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos.
Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive.
This particular scene became ICONIC.
98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist.
This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.

@AlpacaAurelius This depends on the intensity and strength of the sun. I know people who get burned red skin after being exposed for 1h when the sun is strong (from april/may to mid september). So they shouldn't listen to their body?

@esegbona_luis Luka is my countryman, i support him all the way. However, what is the proof for these allegations? When did she broke down in tears because of what he did? Our media, following Lukas every step, haven't reported anyrhing about this, not even our neighbors Croats, but somehow..
English

Luka Dončić’s wife broke down in tears after discovering he had used the same asset strategy by Achraf Hakimi — putting everything under his mother’s name. 😭💔
His wife, Anamaria Goltes, was allegedly waiting for the right moment to file for divorce after Luka had earned enough money and built up major assets.
But Luka, who truly loved her, started thinking about the many men who loved their wives deeply yet ended up losing everything after a div0rce. From having millions to having nothing.
So he made a quiet move — he registered all his m0ney, properties, and assets under his mother’s name.
When Anamaria finally filed for div0rce expecting to walk away with 50% of his wealth, she wa sh0cked to learn that nothing was legally in Luka’s name.
Now, with that option gone, she is now fighting for cust0dy of the children in hopes of receiving child support. But Luka said he would rather take full responsibility for raising his daughters himself.
According to the NBA star:
“Everything I do is for my daughters’ happiness, and I will always fight to be with them.”
How will Anamaria maintain the luxury lifestyle she was used to❓🤔

@esegbona_luis What makes this whole statement /post even more unreliable is the fact that they weren't even married.
Ne daj se Luka naš 💪

@KM1111777444 @MrPitbull07 so the restaurant is obligating dining customers to pay for their staff's salary?
English

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic.

@TraceyRyniec @FluentInFinance As far as they are concerned, the other guy willingly sent the money also. So why will they initiate the initial reversal?
English

This is a classic scam.
When someone sends you money “by accident” and you send it back, here’s what happens:
1. They sent you $1,200 (usually from a stolen card or hacked account)
2. You sent back $1,200 of YOUR OWN money
3. Now they file a dispute saying their account was hacked
4. PayPal reverses the original $1,200 (takes it from you)
5. You’re now out $2,400 total - the original amount PLUS what you sent
