@MikeBales The days are long but the years are short. 💗

Just a reminder that 75% of the time you’ll ever get to spend with your kids is over by the time they turn 12. And 90% of your time with them is gone by the time they’re 18. So slow down, be present, and enjoy these short, sweet years—they’ll soon be over.

Many suspected treatments remain unproven because there is insufficient profit motive to fund trials. However, proving the benefits of nutrition, supplements, and existing drugs could save substantial government medical spending—this would be a good use of government research funding.

@dantypo I’m not sure I’ve ever fully “liked” a politician. Well, Regan made me laugh at least and got a lot right. But I vote against the worse choice every chance I get, no regrets. Yep, no one bats 1000.

If I added up the things I agree with Trump on, he might be hitting .300. The sad thing is that’s a higher batting average than any President in my voting lifetime. The problem with so many people (especially those recently introduced to politics) is that they’re expecting someone who bats 1.000. That’s never going to be the case. So I ask myself, “am I happy that the border is closed, that til now his foreign entanglements have been quick and decisive, and has my business and my employees benefited from his economic policies?” The answer is yes. I hope Iran is decided in 4-5 weeks, I hope GDP grows, and I hope (tho doubt) he curtails spending in the next 3 years. But I do know that Kamala would have done none of the former or latter. So no. I don’t regret my vote.

In the context of government spending in general - revolving doors, sole source contracts, audit failures, regulations to ensure fairness in employment and contracting that do the opposite, perhaps it is fair to assume SpaceX benefits. But SpaceX came to dominate space contracts when the administration was against Elon.

I hate when people say @SpaceX is simply handed government contracts. No, SpaceX earns those contracts. They offer the lowest price, the best product and they execute. The Pentagon said last year that SpaceX has saved the government over $40 billion. One SLS launch costs billions, while one SpaceX launch costs ~$75M. SpaceX is an example of great American innovation, something that all Americans should cheer on.

Republican and Democrat politicians are not the same. You may be underwhelmed by the R’s, but you’ll hate it when the D’s get power.

AZ ESA as currently functioning earns national support too. Refuting false claims of fraud in Arizona's school choice program - go.shr.lc/3PLy0m8 - @washtimesoped

Friendly reminder to sign petitions for AZ candidates if you haven't, especially less popular races. Time to think about who you will support in the primary, save your candidate effort getting plenty of signatures. Deadline coming up! apps.azsos.gov/apps/election/…

The best way to improve government-run schools is through fair competition from private education. Policies that turn private education into a copy of government-run schools harm students in both systems.

These requirements may sound responsible until someone points out that testing drives curriculum. Woke and ineffective (even if fashionable) ways of instruction are embedded in tests and curriculum in public schools. It hasn’t help students perform in public school where performance generally declines, why force it on private instruction? See Mississippi Reading Miracle where scores dramatically improved when a states start teaching reading more like many homeschoolers do (phonics).

The initiative from @SchoolChoiceNow is counterproductive to Education Freedom 🛑Pre-approved curriculum---by whom? 🛑Testing options that are all aligned to Common Core Parents like us LEFT public school for these reasons & you want to bring them to homeschool/private schools

Enough grid storage to level 24 hour demand can expand the capability of traditional generation capital, likely at lower cost currently than increasing traditional generation. That storage also helps existing renewables earn more fuel savings the rest of the year. For reliability and total system cost (including backup) added storage currently seems to make more sense than additional renewable generation.

Germany currently has about 26 GWh of battery storage. Most of it sits in home batteries, with only 4.3 GWh actually serving the grid. Building that storage has already cost more than €10 billion. And at national demand levels, it only covers roughly 30 minutes of summer electricity usage. The winter months bring what's known as “Dunkelflaute” — cold, dark, windless periods (and higher energy usage). To survive a 10-day winter lull (the minimum realistic requirement), Germany would need about 12,000 GWh of batteries — 470 times today's storage. Such a system would weigh roughly 60 million tonnes, and would be made from vast quantities of lithium, nickel, graphite, copper, aluminum, and steel — all requiring intensive mining. At current battery prices, the system would cost trillions of euros. And batteries last only 10 to 15 years, meaning the entire system would need constant replacement. The conclusion is unavoidable: Wind and solar require reliable backup power. Renewables need oil, coal, gas, and nuclear.

The only good thing I can say about Ehrlich is that I'm glad he lived to 93 I'm glad that he spent the last 30 years of his life knowing that he was wrong about everything. I'm glad no one thanked him for his work and many people blamed him for the misery he created.

The Town Square Test Can you walk into the center of your city, say what you actually believe, and go home safely? That's it. That's the whole test. Sharansky called societies that pass it "free societies." He called those that fail it "fear societies." Simple. Precise. Devastating in its implications.

@elyombi @AIDRIVR @Tesla_AI x.com/i/grok/share/0…

To offset the speed limit on a Tesla, navigate to Controls > Autopilot > Set Speed Offset on your touchscreen. You can set the offset to Fixed (e.g., +5 mph) or Percentage (e.g., +10%) relative to the detected speed limit, which allows Autopilot to drive faster than the posted limit

“Chill” mode 44% over posted speed limit my only options are to disengage, or go into “Sloth” and trigger a hard brake down to 25mph @tesla_ai please fix

@elyombi @AIDRIVR @Tesla_AI That was a good solution, control of FSD (largely?) went away on newer releases

@JPDeSimone @AIDRIVR @Tesla_AI Agree, with a caveat to allow over speed if needed for safety.

@AIDRIVR @Tesla_AI All. The. Time. I almost got a speeding ticket last week. I talked my way into a warning. It's absolutely absurd that this deep into its development, FSD won't allow us to set a # of MPH over the limit we want the vehicle to never exceed. The fix is so simple.

@DennyZ25153949 @mitchellvii And participation in polls and counting.

@DennyZ25153949 @mitchellvii Massive turnout.

The GOP Congress has been disappointing. I get that.  Instead of sitting out the election in some sort of dumb protest that will put Democrats in power, let's turn out in even bigger numbers and elect better Republicans! The answer to bad Republicans isn't Democrats, it's better Republicans.

@goodedonnae @mitchellvii Take a look at Virginia. The two parties are not the same.

@mitchellvii Both parties are the same, and PACs own most of them outright. Until we abolish PAC money, nothing will ever change in our country. The UNI party is owned and controlled by them. Their loyalty is not to constituents but to those who purchased our representation from us.
