The Faster Sloth

@StumpGuyTy One of the construction companies on site said the vacuum trucks are a maintenance nightmare and they subcontract their services so they don’t have to deal with them.

Need one of these:

@DaleStarkA10 @rothschildmd Guys on submarines have always eaten well with food like this because it is misery to be stuck in a tube away from family and friend for months, forced to eventually breathe in your own farts. They earned the right to good food

@rothschildmd Breaking news: Troops eat food and on special occasions they get a great meal!

Pete Hegseth's "Department of War" spent nearly $7 million on lobster tails, more than $15 million on ribeye steaks, and hundreds of thousands on doughnuts...in September. openthebooks.substack.com/p/pentagon-sho…

@mattvanswol Wounds from a friend can be trusted but an enemy multiplies kisses. Proverbs 27:6. You are speaking truth and you are a true friend for doing it.

We just started going back to church, so I want to say this carefully, because I’m fully aware I could be missing something... …but I’ve been feeling very frustrated with, what I perceive to be, a lack of passion for the truth in the church In a recent sermons, someone said something like, “Hurting people with our words is wrong and we shouldn’t do that.” Not “don’t be unnecessarily cruel…” which I agree with. It’s more like… “don’t make anyone feel bad.” Which is NOT the same thing, and frankly… I don’t know if that’s even possible. And I definitely don’t know if that’s what we should be trying to prioritize right now… people’s FEELINGS, of all things. Because if “hurting someone’s feelings” becomes the standard, then truth is AUTOMATICALLY in trouble. So what is the Christian church actually going for, here? That my responsibility is to protect your emotional comfort… even if it requires me to stay silent while you live a lie? Because I firmly believe the opposite. Lying to someone is wrong, BUT ALSO allowing someone to keep believing a lie is wrong. I guess the point I’m trying to get at here is that I feel like a lot of what gets called “kindness” right now is just fear of conflict, or put another way, I feel like kindness is used as a shield for Christians to be passive. “I’m not perfect, therefore I won’t correct anyone.” “I’m not God, therefore I won’t say anything.” “I might make a mistake, so I’ll stay out of it.” What on earth do you think that creates? It creates a world where nobody with a conscience says anything out loud, a bunch of people walking around confusing their kindness with pure cowardice. Honestly, I just feel alone in the fight. What happens when all the “good” people decide the holiest thing they can do is stay quiet because a pastor is telling them to be terrified to speak up for fear of being called “unloving”? WAKE UP!!!!! The Left is shaping kids right now and THEY ARE NOT SHY ABOUT IT!!! They’re loud and absolutely relentless. They’re also ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE. In the schools, entertainment, social media, sports, corporations, and institutions that used to at least pretend to be neutral. Their messaging is constant, aggressive…AND it’s framed as pure, holy, morality! So… what’s going on with the Christian church these days? Is your highest moral principle really, “no one should ever feel uncomfortable”???? Sorry for the long rant here, I just feel, like I said before, strangely alone in it. As if I’m the problem for believing that truth matters more than feelings… like wanting to speak out against something that is wrong is somehow “unChristian” of me if it gets others angry, upset, or threatening… TOWARDS ME. Maybe I’ve got this wrong and I’m open to hearing it, but in general, I feel alone in this.

@Project_RCC @Tesla_AI You said it perfectly! I am annoyed with the latest update for this reason. It used to manage my speed well in Standard but now it goes too fast. Thank you for posting this succinctly

What do we do? In a 55 zone, Sloth is 55, capped. Chill is 57, capped. Standard is variable ~70. Hurry is up to 79. How can I drive 64? Safe, relaxing, fast enough and guaranteed no ticket? @Tesla_AI If Sloth is 55 and Standard 70 why is Chill capped at 57? Why not 62-63?

I have owned my Tesla for 2.5 months and use FSD 90% of the time. Today FSD 14.2.1.25 was driving and slowed suddenly. I never saw the guy crossing at the last light that goes yellow. All in black on a knee scooter moving slow. FSD saves lives

@WallStreetApes USAA screwed me for Hurricane Helene. They low balled everything. Get a public adjuster. They know how to fight for you and hold the insurance companies accountable. USAA is awful

American is crying, she is devastated and losing her home to a fire She called her insurance and just wanted to rebuild the exact same home, no changes She can’t, because the value of her home has gone up, her insurance will only cover what it was worth years ago Now she has to sell off the lot to try and pay off her remaining mortgage and her family will have nothing When getting homeowners insurance what they don’t tell you is you need to make sure your homeowners insurance has ‘100% replacement cost,’ or ‘guaranteed replacement cost.’ Insurance in America is a scam, they do everything possible to not pay out

@bankertobuilder Genius! I have seen high end homes with a separate fridge/freezer. Time to rip out the freezer and install a Coke machine, put in cheap fridge freezer combo on other side. Show me the money!

The only way to correct design flaws is with passive income. Trim out an oversized fridge with a craigslist vending machine. Instead of your guests laughing at you for buying an oversized fridge, they will be paying you for snacks while they visit. Have fun retiring early.

@cybrtrkguy I had Duratracs on a Tacoma. They were good but killed my mpg. Glad they don’t hurt range too much. Good tire, just heavy

The difference between Cybertruck’s factory All-Terrains and the winter-rated Duractracs is crazy Those Duratrac Wranglers are way more capable.

@DrClownPhD Not appropriate but here goes “Pole Smoker”. “Oh Face” (Office Space reference)

If this was your pet, what would you name him? 👀

@Rainmaker1973 Don’t use drugs

What's your first thought when you see this kitchen?

@kylaschwaberow I got 14.1.7 on Nov 19. On Nov 18, I clicked between standard and advanced over 50 times. I heard that works and it did for me or it was luck. I don’t like 14.1.7 much. The speed is 5 over in standard but then it goes 10 over. It swerves for skid marks. I liked 13 better

Does anyone other than me have: A Tesla AI 4 FSD And NOT have v14.1.7?

@MedicNamedHope Lies!

Dear people of the trades, I have terrible news. Not every tool is a hammer.

@BowTiedBroke Count me in! I love a good chainsaw!

Husqvarna sent me a stack of chainsaws to give away because a bear stole mine & Internet went wild. I’m adding a 4 day/3 nt stay to my Smoky Mtn cabin.

Grok posts the 20 here, the dart decides destiny 🎯 Sorry international followers (not that I have that many) U.S. followers only for this one. Cabin is in Tennessee, chainsaws are heavy, and bears don’t do passports. Let’s go! Drop a reply and let’s see who the Chainsaw stealing bear chooses.

@Brparadox 0.5

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 99,999... Guess it right by tomorrow and this PC is yours 👀

@SawyerMerritt I compared operating costs between Chevy Silverado 4wd 3.0L diesel vs Model 3 and it is a wash. Truck has very high resale as bonus. May as well drive a truck. Model 3 insurance, frequent tire replacement, and gas tax registration charge neuter savings it offers

If you don't own an EV yet, what's holding you back from getting one?

@MdBreathe Don’t get a foam one unless you sleep alone. Two people will sink into the center for foam. Get a hybrid with springs. We love our Brooklyn Bedding mattress. $1500, shipped in a box. Hybrid with cooling. Costco has a Sealy hybrid for $600 which is nice

I have to buy a new mattress, and I don’t want to spend $5000. What should I get?

@GuyDealership I hate car dealers more than anyone on this planet. Just awful. Greedy with no product, just markup of someone else’s product. All manufacturers need to sell direct

Tesla’s direct-to-consumer model is leaving many drivers in frustration. Don Hall, CEO of the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association, breaks down why the franchise system still protects the customer. "The truth of the matter is this: we live in your communities, we're part of your communities, we've been around for generations, and we give a damn about our communities." "The fact of matter is that Tesla's model is not a model that gives you the kind of buying experience that you're entitled to and should have." "With franchise system, you got a choice, and you got a lot of folks who will compete and will do whatever it takes to earn your business and trust." - Thank you to our partner @getimpel!

@aviationarchive @Fat_Electrician What is the story behind this one?

I never thought I'd be so deep in the bowels of the National Archives that I'd randomly run across the famous toilet bomb launched over Vietnam from an A-1H Skyraider of VA-25, piloted by Cdr. Clarence W. Stoddard, but here I am.🤘😎

@t0nyuv @Tesla I have been considering an S and watching for this update. I drove the Cybertruck and loved the steer by wire but don’t like the look. This update is weak and I would rather buy a used 2022-23 model instead of a new one. Skip depreciation. Sad they did so little

@Tesla All the steer by wire comments here are butt hurt GMC/ Chevy fanboy @Tesla haters. For those that know, these are welcomed new features and were no way packaged as a complete redesign

Model S & X are now even better – launching today in the US 🇺🇸 Highlights: – Frost Blue paint color – Up to 410 miles of range (Model S Long Range – our longest range Tesla yet) – Even quieter inside: less wind + road noise & more effective Active Noise Cancellation – New wheel designs & improved aerodynamics = more range – Front fascia camera for better visibility – Dynamic ambient lighting that brings unique animations along the dash & doors upon entry – An even smoother ride thanks to new bushings & suspension design – Adaptive driving beams – New exterior styling for Model S Plaid, optimized for high-speed stability – More space for 3rd row occupants & cargo (Model X)

@ryan_pickering_ Is the picture from the Chinese plants? Now that Vogtle 3&4 are built, they have a design and approved licensing. The $35B cost for Vogtle was driven by continuous design finalization and NRC interpretation of the design/license. I hope they finish the VC Summer plants

Pound for pound, the AP1000 is the smallest modular reactor. 52 factory-made modules, assembled on site to generate over a gigawatt of the most secure energy in human history, all built on less than 2 acres. America, let’s build a thousand of them and transcend.
