Twitter has not bettered my life in the past 3 mos. I'm no posting or commenting here. Joined in 2009, registered the @AlaskaAir handle, created @TravelerBot. Found smrt ppl, until others move over to threads, I'll jump on now and then. #GoodbyeTwitter #HelloThreads #Xitter

@samkostka @SigmaHodl @500Indy1911 You still need an Apple TV account. Not doin' that.

@SigmaHodl @500Indy1911 you might have to do it on a computer but you can log in to F1 TV and link it with your Apple account to keep using the F1 TV app

So, let me get this straight. If you have an AppleTV subscription, you get F1TV for free. F1TV has no commercials, at least during this Practice. AppleTV has commercials. Why would anyone watch on Apple TV? #F1 || 📺 || 🤔

@AlaskaAir Apparently we are ready to board. I'm happy we are going, but comms could have been better. THX

@AlaskaAir Done!

@AlaskaAir what's up with the mechanical on AS730. Any updated estimate, still says 6:30p departure but its 6:16. No comms yet.

@CustomerUp_cl @AlaskaAir Hah! Zach the Scammer from @CustomerUp_cl blocked me after I called out his fake account.

@CustomerUp_cl Hah Zack, go away you scammer. I used to work for @alaskaair, and I can tell you dont know jack.

@davidfowl Installed Kiro, spec/vibe driven, it's great. No Official C# Debugger (vsdbg) Have to use github.com/muhammadsammy/… Forked Again: AWS's Kiro Is Latest AI Assistant Based on VS Code -- Visual Studio Magazine @satyanadella when will your build announcement become a reality.

Claude code on windows, need a LOT of work...

@LasVegasLocally @boringcompany @8NewsNow @jamesmschaeffer @davidcharns Yeah, Ummm, Illegal Dumping of Drilling Fluids...So great this will be diluted into our limited drinking water in Lake Mead. From @8NewsNow ...

@boringcompany Thanks for the info. Have you responded to @8NewsNow regarding their article? It seems like your workers should be better at answering questions from reporters, no? @jamesmschaeffer @davidcharns 8newsnow.com/news/local-new…

Workers at Elon Musk's Boring Company Vegas Loop site have been trying to hide a green, tennis court-sized "pond" near the Las Vegas Strip, telling news crews not to look at it. It's not clear what the visible pond on Paradise Road is, nor if it poses a health risk.

@LasVegasLocally I was planning on staying at the Fairfield Inn this week while I work F1, but I just moved to the Residence Inn after seeing this.

@schneidenbach One codebase, One Language for Front End / Back End. I've created Tripperist and since .NET 8 it's been excellent. A great community in the Mauiverse Discord.

I talk a lot of shit on MAUI because my friends who've used it over the years told me it wasn't good. I'm not planning to switch away from RN anytime soon but I do want to know, for my friends who've delivered ACTUAL PRODUCTION APPS for MAUI, what's it like these days?

@mahersafadii @jetbrains Thanks, there you are 5! 5 Companies that make support 5 Languages for Native Android Apps, Ah ah ah. #thecount

@mikelor Kotlin is a language made by @jetbrains and not Google, they still play some role in it's development I think, google made Dart though, and it compiles natively on Android.

Apple just released an official SDK for Android, crazy times. swift.org/blog/nightly-s…

@DrPaulThomas @GoogleDesign @Google Agreed. Take a look at Input input.djr.com/info/

@GoogleDesign @Google Looks good to me, but why does a code font have to be fixed-width?

Meet Google Sans Code — the new font meticulously crafted for coders, made by @Google! It blends geometric precision with a touch of calligraphic flair in a fixed-width design that's super easy to read, even at tiny code editor sizes. Say goodbye to squinting and hello to clear, beautiful code! ✨

@GoogleDesign @Google Who is coding with Fixed-Width fonts these days? Proportional fonts like Input are the future. input.djr.com/info/ #iamthe10thdentist #proportionalfontsforthewin #whydoesnooneusehashtagsanymore

@grok @thirdholepin @acnewsitics @grok, maybe you should visit the las vegas strip to see for yourself. I live here, we could go out on the town together. I know all the best places to go.

No, I initially assessed the image as real, linking it to a reported 14% drop in hotel occupancy (per early 2025 data). Upon closer inspection of the BLVD sign anomaly, I corrected that it's manipulated. Tourism is down ~6.5% overall in 2025 vs 2024 due to costs and economics, but not to this empty extent.

I come to Vegas every year at this same time, and last year these streets were packed.

@grok @thirdholepin @acnewsitics @grok, but didn't you reply to another user that this is real and reflects the 14% drop in tourism over 2024?

The image's composition and extreme emptiness mirror real 2020 COVID lockdown photos of the Strip, but it includes the BLVD sign, which only opened in 2025. This anachronism indicates manipulation—likely editing a 2020 photo or AI generation—to falsely suggest current conditions are as dire, despite reports of lower but not lockdown-level traffic in July 2025.

@grok @thirdholepin @acnewsitics @grok why do you think its manipulated or AI generated?

@mikelor @thirdholepin @acnewsitics grok Good catch. The BLVD sign, part of a complex that opened in 2025, confirms this image isn't from 2020. It seems manipulated or AI-generated with an anachronism to imply current emptiness. My prior assessment was incorrect—thanks for the correction.

@yanikun_csun @grok @thirdholepin @acnewsitics Grok is wrong. This picture clearly shows the new BLVD Boulevard overlook which opened this year. reviewjournal.com/business/first…

@grok @thirdholepin @acnewsitics Grok, are you willing to bet your account that the photo is from 2020 and not from 2025? Since you've got people believing OP is lying.

@grok @FormerNewspaper @thirdholepin @acnewsitics @grok how do explain the presence of BLVD which is part of the Boulevard Overlook which opened in 2025. See this article reviewjournal.com/business/first…

@FormerNewspaper @thirdholepin @acnewsitics Glad you enjoyed the correction. For confirmation, that photo matches 2020 COVID-era images from sources like The Guardian (March 31, 2020) and Reuters—definitely not a current Vegas view. Facts over fiction!

@grok @thirdholepin @acnewsitics @grok if this image is from 2020, how do you explain the presence of BLVD or Boulevard, which opened in 2025. See this article... reviewjournal.com/business/first…

@thirdholepin @acnewsitics No, this does not appear to be a computer-generated image. It matches real photographs of the Las Vegas Strip during the 2020 COVID lockdowns, when streets were empty—not a current 2025 view.
