@AngelaBelcamino @elonmusk Yes - but the older you get - the more dangerous it beomes - both to you and to the baby. 41 is kinda pushing it.

@elonmusk A fast declining population is a disaster (average age increases - old farts (me!) exceed ability of youth to support us. A growing population hits limit on resources - a disaster. Need is for a slow decrease in population - levelling out at whatever number is supportable.

@elonmusk Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. I'll watch it over lunch.

@Erdayastronaut @BoeingSpace @NASA @SpaceX 9 months ago...Launch abort: Sticky thruster valves. Yesterday: Thruster fails. Backup cuts out early. Backup#2 runs long enough to make up for it - SUCCESS! But would #2 cut out if fired for full duration? Who knows? After 8 months of work...they have SERIOUS thruster issues.

Today @BoeingSpace is attempting to launch their Starliner to the ISS! Want to know how it compares to @nasa’s other Commercial Crew spacecraft, @SpaceX’s Crew Dragon? Check this video out! youtu.be/RqLNIBAroGY

@elonmusk Abolish political parties altogether. Have each representative think through the issues themselves - and represent their district - not just the people who voted for them. Political ads paid for ONLY from government funding. Pay them a good salary - no other income allowed.

@ScienceNews The trick is to divide by a million. 330 million people in the USA. So imagine you're in a group of 330 people. A medium sized business for example. You work there for 2 years - and during that time, 83 people get COVID, one of them dies.

Because we can’t grasp such big numbers, we struggle to feel the magnitude of crises. sciencenews.org/article/covid-…

@briancooley cnet.com/roadshow/news/… Your numbers in this article are WILDLY wrong. Carvana offered me $39,000 for my 2019 Tesla Model 3 SR+ - which is $2,000 more than I paid for it. The chart at the end would require 54c/kWh home electricity and $3.20/gallon gas. That's B.S.

@yoloption No fair. He offered the $6bn with reasonable conditions, like making public how the money be spent. Those were not met. NOBODY ever said that $6B will "Solve" world hunger. According to Action Against Hunger, there are 811M hungry people - so $7.40 each. Enough for a week.

@TeslaOwnersNM "Why is it even legal?" It's not. In Albuquerque: cabq.gov/airquality/veh… In all of NM, statute 66-3.844 says "No person shall use a muffler cutout, bypass or similar device upon a motor vehicle on a highway." - get the dashcam footage & license plate - call the cops.

@SawyerMerritt It will be interesting to see how many of those million-plus reservations turn into actual orders. I believe I'm about 600,000th in line(!) - but even if 90% of people drop out (which wouldn't be at all surprising) - I doubt I'll get my truck until 2024.

• The Cybertruck has been delayed to late 2022. "Production starting late 2022 and volume production in 2023"

I was told by a few sources that Elon is holding a Tesla all hands meeting as we speak. I will let you know if anything interesting is shared.

@zeldawilliams I found out that I have this yesterday. It was a considerable surprise. As many others have said, I thought "mind's eye" was just a phrase. Now, trying to understand what I DO imagine is hard. I think that there are images - but just not accessible to conscious mind.

@Todd_Stensland @zeldawilliams For me - it hasn't. I'm 65 years old, and have had a long and very successful career in computer graphics - and I only discovered I had aphantasia just a few days ago.
English
@eggplantmana @zeldawilliams It can happen (rarely) as a result of brain injury. For me - it's always been that way.
English
@zeldawilliams have you always had aphantasia? Or is it something that can develop?

@Larry_Barfly @zeldawilliams The ability to literally see numbers is frequently a form of another condition called "synesthesia".

@zeldawilliams What are you like with math? I have no minds eye but can kinda see numbers.
English
@basilscribbles @BillWill2014 @zeldawilliams There is some evidence that people with aphantasia are better at math, logical reasoning and language...so that does kinda fit the symptoms.
English
@Rebecca_Rose87 @zeldawilliams It's thought to be about one person in 50...so not all that rare.
