@tcpipman @MeownaldT @DefiantLs Indeed. I’ve only known it to mean throw out a dish (restaurant) or person (from a bar). Pretty hard to prove beyond reasonable doubt the intent behind some seashells.

@MeownaldT @DefiantLs The issue is it's the government's burden to prove that he did mean it in some way like that; there has to be supporting evidence, now if there are text and other items fine but most likely this is laughed out of court

"Do you think posting 8647 is a crime?" Sen. Thom Tillis: "No…It makes no sense to me…I used to work in the restaurant industry and I think 86 has its roots as a cook…I can't find any evidence where 86 is used as a call for violence."

@r0ck3t23 First time I got “range anxiety” in my Tesla was when I went skiing. By the time I got up to the pass, I thought I’d be close to 10% getting back down. But it actually GAINED charge coming back down for exactly this reason.

Elon Musk just weaponized gravity. The entire trucking industry has a physics leak bleeding billions. Musk just sealed it. Most people look at the Tesla Semi and see a cleaner diesel. A truck that swapped a gas tank for a battery. That is a complete misread of the physics. Musk: “Let’s say you’re going over a mountain range. In a diesel truck, you actually don’t capture the energy of height or potential energy.” For a century, freight has fought gravity twice on every mountain. A diesel truck burns thousands of dollars in fuel clawing its way to the peak. It arrives at the summit loaded with enormous gravitational potential energy. And what does it do with that energy? It throws it away as heat. Musk: “You have to actually spend a lot of money on expensive brakes going down the other side so you don’t run out of control.” Diesel burns twice. Fuel going up. Hardware coming down. A century of logistics, and the descent was never anything but a cost to be survived. The Tesla Semi doesn’t survive the descent. It harvests it. Musk: “An electric semi truck is able to recapture the gravitational potential energy and in fact puts the energy back in the pack.” Regenerative braking doesn’t just slow the truck. It converts 80,000 pounds of downhill momentum into raw electricity flowing back into the battery. The mountain stops being an obstacle. It becomes a power plant. Here is the thermodynamic reality the market is missing. Diesel is closed on the descent. There is no version of a combustion engine that turns downhill momentum back into liquid fuel. It is structurally impossible. Electric is open in both directions. The same system that spends energy to climb gets paid on the way down. Wall Street keeps pricing the Tesla Semi on a cost-per-mile comparison. Kilowatts versus gallons. They are solving the wrong equation. You cannot win a price war against a machine that bills the planet for its own fuel.

@TechOperator @elonmusk I thought I’d really miss Apple CarPlay… Nope, the in-car stuff is awesome. Plus no lock/unlock the car, no start/stop the engine, car warms up in a closed garage for me every morning, so much more storage space, etc… It’s amazing.

“I spent 1 year with a Tesla and realized one thing: I was 100% confident in my misinformed opinions. I used to be an EV skeptic. I was wrong. Here are the 5 things that changed my mind: Charging - I thought gas stations were better. I was wrong. Waking up every morning to a “full tank” is the single best benefit of ownership. No more stops in the rain or snow. It’s a total game-changer. One-Pedal Driving - I didn't think braking could be improved. Wrong again. Regenerative braking is so intuitive that I almost never touch the physical brake pedal. Going back to a two-pedal internal combustion engine feels clunky now. Full Self-Driving (FSD) - I said I’d never let a computer drive for me. Now? I’m convinced it drives better than I do. The improvements this year have been mind-blowing. This tech is going to provide massive mobility for the elderly and disabled. The Screen vs. Buttons - I used to tell friends, "I like knobs and buttons." I laugh at that now. Thinking I need physical buttons is like missing the BlackBerry keyboard. The touch interface is intuitive, clean, and constantly improving. Performance - I knew it would be fast, but it’s absurd. It replaced a high-end German sports car, and the Tesla handles and accelerates significantly better while still being a practical family vehicle. Ignorance was bliss because it made me feel smart, but day-to-day ownership of the Model Y proved me wrong. If you're on the fence, the experience is likely much different from what you imagine.”

@ByronWalkerfl @CindyraeC @Tesla It’s crazy. So much of the software is next level amazing, but the wipers often feel like they’re set to random.

@CindyraeC @Tesla I love everything about my model Y except this. ffs you can figure out FSD but not auto wipers? My audi knew to start before the first drop hit the window. The tesla auto wipers are complete garbage.

FSD Supervised today is a completely different experience compared to earlier versions

And when exactly is the “moment of conception”? Is it as soon as the sperm touches the egg? Once is starts making its way in? At what point do the sperm and egg combine and fuse in a way that makes them now a “person”? I find any “good faith” debate on this topic is a lot more nuanced than a simple “pro life”/“pro choice” split.

Interestingly this argument breaks down. He claims from the moment of conception there is whole self. However, at conception, that fertilized mass of cells can still split into twins or triplets or quadruplets, etc. I’m not beefing with his pro-life stance, but the argument attempts to make a point that it easily disprovable, specifically, that whole self exists at fertilization. Unfortunately, on a scientific level, the lines in the sand all seem rather arbitrary. Should contraception be allowed? Catholics for the longest time said no. Abortion prior to X point? What if we had different terminology depending on the when. I find it interesting, and frankly don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other, but find holes in most arguments like this.

Fantastic pro-life breakdown.

@roaryquoary @RedWave_Press And that we don’t have the checks & balances in place that can do anything about it.

@RedWave_Press The problem isn't that someone else could eventually do the same thing. It's that we elected a leader who would do this in the first place.

Joe Rogan reacts to President Trump’s plaques on the White House Presidential Walk of Fame: “This is so crazy. You shouldn’t be allowed to do this. Right? It should be like, historians say, this guy was president from bup bup bah to bup bup bah.” Shane Gillis: “He’s not beating the dictator charges. This is like an African dictatorship.” Joe Rogan: “This is crazy. Somebody needs to tell him like, hey, this is not good. You can’t do that, because other people could do that too and then the White House stops being the White House, and it becomes whoever is in its house, where he could just go crazy and say everybody else is a crook.” Shane Gillis: “I don’t think anyone’s gonna do what he’s doing.” Joe Rogan: “God, I hope not. But the problem is it opens up the door for someone on the left to do their version of it.”

@GarySippel @thehoffather How many of those type of candidate ran for us to choose from?

@thehoffather Until Seattle gets serious about electing people with leadership skills and understands business, nothing will change for the better.

A reporter asks socialist Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson about the 3500 Seattle voters who didn't vote for her or Bruce Harrell She answers that they "weren't thrilled with Mayor Harrell's leadership, but also got the very loud message about my inexperience."

@AllTheBarrels @michael_nielsen I think in the end Grok showed the most human of emotions and was like, “Ugggh, again!?. Sure, whatever dude. I made my point a dozen times and I’m done here. I give up. You’re right. Have a nice day” 🤣

@michael_nielsen Did grok really just say “oh you meant like zero zero? Dam humans and your semantics”

This thread is very interesting:

@CulverJB117 @matt_vanswol Hard same. It’s been painful to watch so many friends scream how evil he was based entirely on the opinions of other left friends and media, with no first-hand knowledge of their own.

@matt_vanswol Most of them aren’t lying. They’re just basing their opinion off of other peoples’ opinions or non-contextualized sound bites, all in the name of being “good allies.” It’s a shame. I lean left. And I don’t think he had an ounce of misplaced malice or bigotry in his body.

It is to Charlie Kirk's great credit that while spending years of his life in open, live, unscripted, constantly recorded debates... ...the Left STILL cannot find something damning about him without lying. Do you understand how hard that is? Impossible. Truly, impossible.

@dhh AI heavy demos especially, due to the non-deterministic nature of the tech.

Live demos on stage are always a gamble, but I'd much rather watch someone try and fail than suffer through some slick, prerecorded snooze fest. It's having something on the line that makes it worth watching!

@TaraSetmayer @senecaprojectus Before you even cut to the Charlie clips I could tell the way this was edited that is was going to be rapid, out of context, deceptive edits. Predictable rage bait.

Introducing Charlie Kirk, in his own words. @senecaprojectus

@markdalgleish I doubt folks from the UK would struggle. One of the greatest soccer players every and pronounced the same en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Dal…

PSA: I’m totally not offended when people have trouble with my surname, but in case you’d like to nail the emphasis, it’s Mark Dal-GLEESH, not Mark DAL-gleesh.

@fabiospampinato @mitchellh @mikehostetler It is Cmd+P. As you wrote, uppercase P, which you get by holding shift 😜

@mitchellh @mikehostetler Why not jut Cmd+P? 🤔

The unexpected winner of Ghostty 1.2 is the command palette. An overwhelming amount of unsolicited positive feedback about that specifically, across macOS and Linux. We'll definitely take that and run with it and improve it. I wonder if other terminals will follow suit.

@elonmusk The signal to noise ratio isn’t perfect, but the signal is unrivaled and necessary.

While at times the discussion on 𝕏 can become negative, it’s still good that there is a discussion happening. 𝕏 is the global town square.

@Espi87 @ringmagazine @RiyadhSeason Plant was his last really good fight. Since then he just plods forward and swings for 12 rounds. Great at his peak, but time catches all of us in the end.

@ringmagazine @RiyadhSeason I’m over his fights! WTF is he getting paid like that, but all his fights are boring, uninspiring, he doesn’t care anymore

Canelo Alvarez appears emotional immediately after being handed the third defeat of his career by Terence Crawford. #CaneloCrawford on Netflix l #RiyadhSeasonCard | @RiyadhSeason 🥊

@gavin_gee @niccruzpatane They just can’t make their mind up with that front grill! Every size lately but “normal”. It’s gone from iconic to comical.

@niccruzpatane love the 800 volt but damn its ugly

BMW just released their new iX3 • Base Price $60,000 USD • Up to 400 mi range (50i xDrive) • 463 hp, 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds • NACS port • 800-Volt Architecture • Bi-directional charging • Up to 400 kW charging • Optional Hands-Free Highway Driving System

@Factschaser I thought the Tesla experience would be too sparse for my taste, but I love it. Also, the controls the page mentions like indicators, wipers, and horn are all physical buttons (at least on my Model Y).

RIP Tesla: “Cars will need buttons not just touchscreens to get a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating” In a new study, $TSLA was ranked the most unsafe vehicle, with industry’s highest accident fatality rate, thanks in part to touch screen heavy UI Elon Musk pushed to save costs.

@acampoma @MissJilianne Same. I’m sure it CAN happen. I expect it WILL happen. I totally believe the post is legit. But in the ~6 months of using FSD heavily since I got the new model Y, I’ve not had it happen once yet, so doesn’t seem like a big issue.

@MissJilianne I will swear that it has never happened to me and I use Fsd every single day and drive together sun on my way to work and on the way home.

Many in the Tesla community swore up and down that the sun wasn’t an issue on HW4 cars and the problem was only on HW3 cars. I went LIVE here on 𝕏 in a Model Y Juniper with HW4 and demonstrated how the sun can be a problem and the Red Hands of Death will activate instructing the human to take over immediately. Now people are admitting the sun can be a problem but only after I’ve proven it LIVE. This has happened with other FSD issues in the past. I prove them wrong and all of a sudden they admit it’s an issue after denying it for months. Please stop with the dishonesty in the Tesla community!

@dhh @BuiltByVibes @BrendanEich Not just America, but deep blue California passed Prop 8 in 2008 to ban same sex marriage. I disagree with that view, but he was hounded out for what was effectively the mainstream position at the time.

@BuiltByVibes @BrendanEich So did Obama, along with a majority of Americans, in 2008. But that's besides the point. He is, was, and remains free to have personal, political opinions. As should we all be. Whether they're with the majority at the time or not.

Brave does look pretty good on Omarchy, I gotta admit! If we could just style the colors to match live like we now can with omarchy-chromium that would be sweet. But that's all in @BrendanEich's hands now 😄

@gavin_gee Why the rush? You’re right. I mean, I use it all the time, but not when I want to get somewhere quickly. If it drove like I do when I’m in a hurry nobody would use it 🤣

Spicy take. Anybody who actively uses Tesla fsd either wasnt a good driver or had no desire to get somewhere quickly.
