They spent $40k in 10 years on MTG while burning $50 MILLION yearly but cards are the issue
I spoke with an employee who was at Intrepid Studios for 7+ years recently
Steven held game nights for his employees where they’d run drafts and game after a long week - kinda normal

The CEO of failed MMO Ashes of Creation reportedly spent over $40,000 of Kickstarter funds on Magic: The Gathering cards and private chefs

@cybertruck Seats hurt your ass but thats my only complaint this far. Bought a seat cushion and it fixed the issue.

Cybertruck is extremely comfortable on long trips especially thanks to:
– Minimal body roll
– Comfort Mode on FSD (gentler acceleration & braking, softer damping, smoother handling)
– Air suspension + self-leveling keeping the truck flat even with load
Cybertruck@cybertruck
At high speeds, front and rear wheels turn in sync—allowing you to glide between lanes This translates to increased stability and reduces body roll that typically causes passenger discomfort

@jamesdouma @cybertruck Ive had mine less than a month and put over a thousand miles on it just having it drive me around. Its glorious.

Today I spent 7 hours relaxing to music in my indestructible high performance all terrain luxury robot APC while the earth put on a show of landscapes, downpours, and rainbows. I love @cybertruck.

@elonmusk @RichardDawkins Jurassic Park 2 was a bit if a sellout, with Crichton bringing back the dead. At least he owned it.
English
@RichardDawkins “Jurassic Park” was legit an epic idea by Crichton. I really hope we can have one in the future. Got to break some eggs to make an omelette 🤷♂️

Neanderthal genome is largely known. If it becomes possible to reconstruct a live Neanderthal person, what, in your opinion, would be the pros and cons? I’m genuinely interested in canvassing opinions for and against.

I built CourtWatch.us — a free public database for American citizens who deserve safer communities.
You can track which judges released defendants who then got rearrested, skipped court, or violated their release conditions. All public records. All free.
I started with Orange County FL and will be expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. This first batch of info is from 2024 and since public reports are released in March/April for the previous year, data is behind. But I wanted to see if this is plausible. After adding 2024,I'll add 2025 and then figure out how to get real-time-data uploaded.
It's in beta — would love to know what you think 👇
Numbers don't lie, but criminals do.

Cybertruck is so awesome.
Until you’ve tried it out, you have no idea, because there’s nothing like it.
Best product Tesla has ever made to date.

@LT_Aldo_Raine @Zigmanfreud How bout having sex with a Chinese spy while on the intelligence committee? Seems like a lapse in judgement...
English
@Zigmanfreud You don't think having sex with YOUR OWN interns as a married man is enough of a sign of horrible judgment, disqualifying behavior, blackmailable actions, to ruin your career, consensual or not? Also much of what you wrote here is wrong, including on receipts and anonymity.

I’m sorry, I loathe Eric Swalwell, but you shouldn’t be allowed to destroy a man’s career with a sex abuse allegation without at least…
-A lawsuit/criminal charge
-Public ID
-Publicly providing alleged electronic communications (unclear here)
-Not having TWO very drunk “rapes”

@Asmongold @KMGGaryde The whole profession has been walking on eggshells since Chauvin/Thao/Kueng went to prison. My local DA in Austin made indicting cops his campaign platform. He now wields the threat of indictment to neuter officers, stripping away tools and procedures at his discretion.

@KMGGaryde Patriot
We need more cops like him
In a just society he would be freed and the judge who passed that sentence would be the one serving it

“A tear rolls down the cheek of NYPD Sgt. Erik Duran, 38, who was sentenced yesterday for the death of Eric Duprey as he tried to flee from a 2023 drug raid.
Duran threw a picnic cooler at Duprey, which knocked him off a scooter, killing him. Lefty Judge Guy Mitchell claimed Duran could have just let him go and arrested him later, and justified the jail time by saying he was sending a "general deterrent" message to police.”
"It's a huge miscarriage of justice” former NYPD boss Ray Kelly told The Post.”

Just realized that Eric Swalwell follows me

After driving a Model 3 with FSD and superior tesla touch screen, all my other cars irritate me when I have to drive them.
I am sadly realizing that as soon as my son starts driving this Model 3 full-time I will have to buy a Cybertruck, I can't go back to my Ford full-time

FSD 14.3 initial thoughts:
- Speed profiles seem to have been toned down, i.e. not speeding as much
- Very smooth driving overall
- Parking spot is definitely selected quicker and more decisive than before
- Tested one school parking lot, ignored handicapped parking spots (great), but happily parked in "Reserved for Principal" spot.
- Stop sign behavior feels a tad quicker (not waiting so long after coming to a complete stop)
- Blinker is activated later than previous versions (good)
- Havent seen the "P" icon to indicate the selected parking spot yet.
- Mini-braking for dancing leaves on road (might be a side-effect of "small animal detection". Certainly reminded me of early 14.2 releases...
Again, very early, so more to come...

has anyone had an electrician install a 240v charger for less than $500?
mine cost maybe $1500 I think to install, although for mine I needed like 30' of copper cabling which was like $500 or so itself.
Lamar MK@LamarMK
Many people are scared to get a Tesla because they think they need to spend $5000 or more to install a charger at home. No you don't. I charge my Tesla using a regular 240v outlet in my garage. Same outlet as a dryer. Your local electrician can install one for under $500. Your new Tesla already comes with a mobile connector that plugs right into it. If you want a Tesla Wall Connector, that's $450 and about $500 to install. Get home, plug it in, and by the time you finish making dinner it's fully charged. Charging at home can cost you under $3 a day. No more spending $60 a week on gas. The savings of driving an EV are HUGE and it starts on day one. What's stopping you from making the switch?

@wholemars 200 a month for my partner and I to have fsd. Gets pricy!

Tesla needs to continue to evolve their Self-Driving pricing model to increase adoption.
With a product this good, sales should be going vertical. It's time to ask some hard questions about what's not working. What do you all think?
