@esherifftv I'm still hurting that my Ford Lightning EV is out of production. I think the only semi full sized pickup left is the Silverado and it's 8-9 tons of truck and battery. I thought the Cybertruck as initially released was late and likely a late beta not a production product.

@Sue80754926 @nypost Sue, the concern is lawfare.
Lawfare can undermine respect for courts. We must also guard against Star Chambers. Increasingly courts pander to some groups, and are used politically. Biased courts undermine society as trust in fairness and due process are mitigated.

@Bubblebathgirl Prepare for the return of the EV tax credit. I hope they work on sodium batteries for cars and home backup.

@BarkingFrogger_ We age and things sag. It's not that bad if you sag with a life partner. If anything it's a bit enjoyable.

@WomenBeingAwful No fan of feminism here, but a fan of humanity. If she seeks someone, I hope she finds him.

@realtalkstruth Since retirement, my wife and I share a lavender scented shampoo and a rose scented body wash. Other than that it's her musk and his musk. No perfume no cologne.

@Zodomo One of the best trained AI's is publicly available. It's Meituan’s LongCat-2.0 developed by a Chinese logistics company. Released initially as Owl Alpha on OpenRouter. 10.1 trillion tokens a month from it's users. The global south sees this stuff and will be using it.

@Zodomo NVIDIA deliberately crippled local AI performance. This was discovered and put on a github. juliansimon geforce-half-rate. NVIDIA is not a friend of open or local AI at all. Part 2 coming next. https://t.co/GjRA3ODBBP

@realmikeconcho I guess it'd be nice to restrict emergency powers of any executive branch officer, at the same time, this is sour grapes at losing. Limits should have been imposed before the election, not after. Likely whatever Republicans do, if they can do anything, will quickly be undone.

@CatSaavy @SenBlumenthal His punishment for stolen valor was to be put on the veterans affairs and armed services committees. So lots of luck with punishment, his next job will likely be secretary of defense.

@BPickle @_Patriot1776Q_ Email used to be handled locally. There were a slew of email servers. They have been centralized and credentialed. However, there is no reason to not have email servers on site, distributed credentialling is possible.

@EndWokeness I am so upset to see this level of violence and cannot imagine how she feels. However at the same time apparently the bus had a proctor and also a driver. The bus should have called the police and either pulled over for a police car or driven to the nearest precinct.

@texianklan @Diogenesfailed When pushed, people usually find a way. If we go back to BBS systems, we will do that. I recall BBS, MUD's and various activities that were local or regional. There is LoRa IoT some of which enables slow packet networking. People will find a way around a blocked Internet.

@JoshuaHosler I think U.S. law trumps religious law, but also believe people have a right to religious beliefs. Many Christians and Jews follow laws that are religious. Does he think it's possible to carve out exceptions to religious expression to only prevent Islamic beliefs?

@roborockglobal I am going to order on the 19th. Two questions your online bot can't answer is do you ship next day or at least via FedEx or UPS? Then do you offer returns until January 31, 2027 as Amazon does for purchases made after November 1?

@AmericaPapaBear The irony to me is, she got off her bike and is now a pedestrian to argue no pedestrians in the bike lane.

@FOX26Houston I like to watch occasional rail cams mostly around Houston. Usually when a gate goes down you have about 90 seconds before the train passes the crossing. Was the timing off or did the futz around inside the crossing for a almost a minute?

@BPickle @_Patriot1776Q_ Local NAS, local drives?

@ResiVeteran @DougAMacgregor You may have forgotten, what is the only winning move in the game of global thermonuclear war??
