I’m thinking of writing an autobiography. Working title: “My Life of Technical Debt”

This is unequivocally the most astounding capture of the atmosphere that I have ever seen. If you are a younger meteorologist, watch this then attempt to understand it through study. All hurricanes have a center, not all hurricanes attain cyclostrophic balance and produce one of the rarest phenomena on planet earth.

@_KennyUong_ Hello from Glendale! 👋

My family first drove past New Haven, CT during our cross-country moving trip from LA to Providence in 2022! 🚙 Almost 3.5 years later, I finally returned to the Cultural Capital of Connecticut for a proper visit!! 🤓🚌🏙️🍕

@itskyleconner My GV60 is only about 15 months old. Since I'm not @OutofSpecDave, I'm planning on keeping it for quite a while longer! 🤣 (Credit where credit is due, I first learned about the car from the video where Dave drove the GV60 home from the dealership.)

If you’re thinking about buying a new car, what is on your short list?

Pope Leo XIV made the broadcast while at Game 1 of the 2005 World Series

@TeslaClubSoCal @SoCalEVs @VW @VWGroup @FthePump1 @UKVolkswagen @volkswagen About the Buzz? I like it. In addition to the one I saw on PCH, I saw them and even rode in one at the LA Auto Show. Very fun! If I was in the market for that class of vehicle it would definitely be on my short list. I’m not going to swap my GV60 for one though!

@provuejim @SoCalEVs @VW @VWGroup @FthePump1 @UKVolkswagen @volkswagen What do you think?

A @VW IDBuzz parked next to us, had to check it out. Pretty nice looking 👌🏼

@ChadMoran My GV60 does this. It’s very convenient.

New auto front camera in 2024.39 is super convenient. My charger setup is for pull in. Love this change.

@MKBHD But can the AI play Frisbee?

It's happening. There are real companies who will just use an AI-created rip of my voice to promote their stuff. And there's really no repercussions for it other than being known as this scummy shady company that is willing to stoop that low to sell some product

@klemensstrasser Congratulations!

Life Update 🥁 I'm going Indie 🥳 After 2½ years at Nuki, I just wrapped up my last day there. The decision was super hard, and I'm very thankful for everything I've learned there. It was the first time working in a lead position and the first time working in an actual office. 🤯 And I had amazing colleagues that I'm going to miss dearly (special shoutout to @tbrandii and @Kampitsch) 😓 But my dream was always to go Indie, and due to some great opportunities, I'm happy that I'm finally able to do so. My apps still don't make enough money to cover all my costs, but I have a year now to get there. 💪 And this year is going to be exciting! Study Snacks will get lots of love. 🥰 Fauna, a game I have had lying around for 3 years now, will finally be released in early 2025. And then there is a new app I can't wait to start working on 🤫 Thank you to everyone who pushed me to take this step (especially @frederikRiedel!) and I hope to see many of you in the next year! Exciting times ahead! 🥳

@hey_francie @OutofSpecPod I was wondering if my podcast player was broken! Definitely will miss you. Good luck on your new projects.

Some of y’all have been reaching out about the @OutofSpecPod! I stepped away at the end of Aug to take on projects outside of OOS that have been calling my name 😌🙏 The team will take over what’s next for the podcast⚡️and you’ll catch me on the other channels here and there! Thank you for your support for the pod over the past year. It’s been a wonderful opportunity to dive into all things electric & meet incredible folks in the space

@OutofSpecDave I had a Prius for 18 years, but this year I bought a GV60. Never going back.

Which camp are you in? EV, Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrid?

@itskyleconner How did you get a spot at that charger? It’s right down the street from me and there is ALWAYS a queue, even at 2 am. I charge at home so it doesn’t affect me, but damn what a shit show. (BTW, I’ve had good luck with EA on road trips.)

Day 1 with the 2025 Lucid Air GT Big improvements from the early example we had. Great to see meaningful iterative changes Still some ergonomic annoyances for me that remain but my list of nitpicks has shrunk significantly when compared to the early cars We briefly had this thing in the canyons (at under 10% SoC 😯) and no question the chassis is worlds above almost anything in this luxo barge class. The steel suspension with active damper makes for more natural road feel when compared to air suspension cars and the tuning / settings for the suspension are near perfection for a car in this category Software has been *majorly* improved with incredibly snappy response time now. Still more features needed but I’m glad to see pet mode for climate and other new additions since my last go in one of these. Range / efficiency seem good but the car needs to break in a bit. Drove from ~SF to LA on one charge with plenty remaining and we booked it the whole way. That’s awesome! So much more to come but it seems Lucid has dialed in the Air pretty damn well now - plenty more to dig into and of course will be sharing my list of improvement suggestions as always ⚡️

@JoseBeenTV Sorry to hear about your health issues, I hope they resolve soon. Sorry I can’t provide the requested summary, I have no clue!

@petchelli Nice GV60 👍 Mine’s silver. 😀

@ChuckvdL @itskyleconner Performance or Advanced?

Of course you’d choose both, but for a long-distance EV which is your priority?

@Tesla2Lucid @SoCalEVs @itskyleconner @TeslaJoy @FthePump1 @ChargePozitive @ELIM888 I’m well over 55 but I’m afraid I don’t really see the resemblance. 🤷🏼‍♂️

From the first time I met him, his calm demeanor, boyish good looks, honesty & simple integrity, I knew that @itskyleconner reminded me of someone but couldn’t put my 👈 on it… until I was listening to this song 🎶! It’s John Denver! Probably won’t mean much unless you’re >55yo so ask @OutofSpecDave ! Great seeing you last weekend along with @TeslaJoy (it’s always a joy, literally, to hangout with you), @FthePump1 (tried to be as tall as you but even with the @NogginBoss 🧢, still couldn’t make it), @ChargePozitive (for the most creative 🎥 content, give him a follow), @redbullracing shirt 👕 guy, & @USC_Athletics guy is @ELIM888 (most people don’t know but our EV story goes back to 2009-& the OG Tesla Roadster)! Not pictured: The Marty glue, @TeslaClubSoCal! The common 🧵? @SoCalEVs

@kjaymiller Glad I happened to see this notification even though I rarely check in here anymore. Best of luck in your next adventure, looking forward to out paths crossing again at some point. 🎉

@rodd_heino @brownecfm The 25% increase shown in this chart is certainly concerning. But it's very misleading that this chart doesn't use a zero based axis, making it look like the rate has tripled. The problem is bad enough without this sort of misdirection.

1. This is a point I've been making for well over two years. Historical comparisons with other pandemics - especially the Spanish Flu - fail to take into account the fact that the global population now has a significant percentage of immunocompromised people.

Had a fun Core Coffee meetup in Encinitas today! Love that we managed to schedule it on the one rainy weekend this month 😄 Thank you everyone for making it out!

@joaquinlife @lapublichealth Just came from a MRI facility in Glendale. My wife and I were the only ones wearing masks.

Here is the official @lapublichealth Health Officer order requiring that masks be brought back into healthcare settings. According to Dr. Ferrer’s office, this was sent out this morning to healthcare facilities. publichealth.lacounty.gov/ip/Docs/2023/I…

We did it! Mask requirements are back in healthcare settings in LA County as of today Dec 29th! Thank you to everyone who has been tirelessly working on protecting our community for months, you made this happen!
