@Erdayastronaut Oh, more Tim videos... Oh wait... I want that!😎

Oh no, not more changes to my video. I can’t do this anymore 😭 luckily we did already touch upon this scenario in the video, but now it needs to change language from “they could” to “looks like they’re going to”

@DillonLoomis Dirt, water, sun...Go😀

Our entire economy is largely built on...sand There is one company on earth that makes ~60 EUV lithography machines each year and without those machines, the entire pipeline of next-gen chips would collapse Humans have all kinds of flaws, but what we have accomplished as a species is completely ridiculous and absurd

@SawyerMerritt I mean, statistics alone would render their concerns mute. If the degraded conditions detection system didn't work and caused accidents at a higher rate than without it Tesla would already know.

NEWS: The NHTSA has announced that its has upgraded the probe into Tesla's FSD (Supervised) in low-visibility conditions to what’s known as an “engineering analysis.” It’s a step that is often required before the agency tells a company to issue a OTA recall, but does not automatically mean that the NHTSA will issue a OTA recall. The NHTSA said its engineering analysis follows an earlier preliminary review and broadens the probe to about 3.2 million ​Tesla vehicles across multiple models equipped with the system, covering most vehicles on U.S. roads.

@GooseGanderTalk @LisaBritton Proper discipline is essential for human growth. The human mind thrives on making mistakes. Mistakes are the quickest way to learn, yet we teach our youth to fear them so much that we not only try to avoid them, but don't correct them.

When I first retired, I served as a middle school substitute teacher. I lasted one semester. The pay was $85 a day. If you had a “teaching certificate” it was $125. I have a MS, was writing my PhD dissertation, had a 40 year career, had been a soldier, politician, and business executive, even a CEO twice. I got $85. Basically $10 an hour. I was forced to take “training” that taught we should never discipline. If a student acted out, it was our fault and we had to give them something else to do which would interest them and then they’d behave. Try that in a class of 25 when you’ve been called in that morning and have no lesson planned. Good luck. I made the mistake of expecting the kids to listen and then do their own work. That’s when I was gently reprimanded and shown how you had to do the work for the kids. They just were to copy what you wrote. There was literally an overhead projector where the kids could see my hand writing on the page. They’d copy what I wrote onto their ridiculous ditto sheets. That way everyone could get a 100%. And don’t get me started on those ditto sheets. Mostly it was woke nonsense and DEI influenced versions of reality. In history, for example, minor characters and events were elevated while major ones ignored based on “inclusion.” All of it, regardless of subject, was aimed at the least capable students. I learned that the “special needs” kids were just there. I wasn’t to expect anything from them as they had their own teacher (1 per child) who did anything they wanted. I’m not sure why they were in my classroom, as we didn’t interact with them at all. I suspect it was all for show. I learned there was no way to rid the class of the unruly, indisciplined, and poorly socialized kids. You could send them to the office, but they’d be right back the next day, maybe even the same day. Short of an actual crime, they could never be removed from the school. They ran the place, and the empathetic, nearly 100% female staff, catered to them. They knew their names, and basically kissed their a**es to get them to cooperate even a little. Other kids, who wanted to learn, sat silent and nameless, while the teacher focused, by necessity, on those few who refused to do any work or behave in a civil manners. These few disrupted every attempt at real learning. Every minute of every day was frustrating chaos. Half the kids were functionally illiterate. Very little of substance was being taught. We needed men in public education fifty years ago. I fear it’s too far gone by now. You should homeschool. I teach college now.

I believe more male teachers could help fix so many problems… We need more male teachers! How can we do this?

@SpaceX @Starlink Lift off!!!

Another disturbing example of Canada’s reckless assisted suicide policy: a family member learned their mother had been euthanized only after the fact, through a call from a doctor they had never met. No notice. No conversation. No chance to say goodbye. When life-and-death decisions exclude even close family, it raises serious questions about whether so-called safeguards are protecting the vulnerable or abandoning them. westernstandard.news/news/mother-re…

✔️It happened to my sister. She signed the papers after being admitted into the hospital. Her reading glasses were at home. Her son was not informed. They called him in the early hours of the morning to tell him she has passed. When he asked about her cause of death he was told she requested MAIDs. We all know she never would have signed those papers had she known what she was signing.

@alohadajosh @JCChristopher The best part is that Tesla will keep you safe even when you make mistakes.😎 #1 safest truck in the world @cybertruck for the win!

What happened is they panic breaking but instead the accidentally push the accelerator. Your muscle memory starts to think that you only need to push one pedal to break, especially with Tesla. So a bit of panic, they accidentally pushed the wrong pedal and then they tried to blame auto pilot for their own mistake. Because Tesla is such a huge company, they think it’s just an easy payday. But people failed to realize that these cars record literally everything

I went to the exact same location of the Cybertruck accident shown in the Fox News video. This is the US-69/59 Eastex Freeway northbound HOV lane at the Y-split near the Eastex Park & Ride exit (approaching from downtown Houston toward Humble). In the Fox News video, the vehicle failed to follow the right curve, going straight into the barrier. Well, I tested it twice today with Tesla FSD engaged the entire time with zero human intervention. And unless you think I am a hologram speaking to you from another dimension now, it worked out really well. Here is the video of me taking the exact same curve twice, with Tesla FSD v14.2.2.5.

@_MaxQ_ 😍

good morning from the spaceport that never sleeps 🚀 busy day ahead - time to get after it!

@NASAArmstrong 🫡

After nearly 40 years at NASA Armstrong, Center Director Bradley Flick will retire March 19. From flight systems engineer in 1986 to center director, Flick’s leadership helped advance aeronautics and expand what’s possible in flight research. Thank you, Brad, for your decades of service. 🚀 Learn more about his career: go.nasa.gov/4sTyFk2

@piloly The data does seem to show that they've had a slow start to new stations so far in 2026. supercharge.info/charts That location in Sinigo still shows as planned in the database at this site.🤷‍♂️

Tesla planned to build a Supercharger in Merano, Italy, in 2024. Now, not only has it not been realized, but it has also disappeared from the website. 🙁

#MeteorSighting: A very bright daylight fireball was observed by witnesses from the northeast U.S. and Canada this morning, March 17. An analysis of currently available data places first visibility of the meteor above Lake Erie. The fireball - caused by a small asteroid nearly 6 feet in diameter and weighing about 7 tons - moved southeast at 45,000 mph before fragmenting over Valley City. The fragments continued on to the south, producing meteorites in the vicinity of Medina County, Ohio. 🔗 go.nasa.gov/4bcMwMg Eyewitness accounts supplied by the American Meteor Society

@TheCriticalDri2 Is it satirical or ironical that his character is a priest? In this image, anyway...

Well, that's... horrifying.

@LimitingThe JDVDS😆 I can see it now😂

What are they going to do when Trump is no longer president and can't run for any more terms?

@WR4NYGov @Ellieinspace I heard from so may of the NSF folks and others that the Tex Mex and BBQ is the best.😋

@herges The Tex Mex and BBQ in Brownsville is 🔥 @Ellieinspace knows

If you could spend one month in any place on Earth, to see if you might want to move there, what’s first on your list?

UPDATE: Elon Musk says the driver of this Cybertruck disengaged Autopilot four seconds before crashing, which means the driver was manually driving during this entire clip that Fox shared. Elon: "As anyone knows who uses it, that video is not how Autopilot drives."

Dan O'Dowd falsely claimed a Cybertruck "on FSD" tried to drive "straight off an overpass"... but the crash was actually caused by Humanpilot crashing it the old-fashioned way: speeding towards a sharp curve in a 15 mph zone and losing control!
