@niccruzpatane @Tesla 1,005 miles in 15 hours is wild. how many supercharger stops did that take?

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@PurelyFootball @FabrizioRomano Oof. @USMNT pep incoming 👀

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@XFreeze Even if you separate life from work, two affairs are a hard truth. Especially if one of the affairs happened with an alleged Chinese spy. I see the business decision, I may not agree, but I see why they may oust him.

@teslaownersSV he gave both companies 10% odds and still went all in. zero for three on falcon 1 in the middle of a recession and they kept going, wild

@Michael_Fenech_ a text kicking off a routine is the part i slept on. all of mine just run on a schedule. does the routine get the message text too or only the trigger?

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@cb_doge 5 homes gone, 110 people affected, and a dish is what keeps emergency comms up. that's the part of starlink people underrate

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@cb_doge 10 million in two weeks out of 50 million eligible is fast. the day my phone does this in pensacola when the towers go down in a hurricane, i'm in

[Sam @schellingsam99]

I’ve never actually use GPT for heavy work. Is it good?

Claude is provided at work and I’m really used to that.

@TheAmazeX Amen

@SawyerMerritt been running grok bot for a while. the moment it clicked was when it stopped before a checkout to ask which of my emails to use instead of guessing

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@niccruzpatane @Tesla 9x safer on highways is the stat that matters to me. the dark interstate miles on the way to work are the ones i'd hand off first

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@cb_doge @Starlink wifi being the reason you pick an airline is a big flip. curious if the little regional jets out of pensacola get it too

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@SawyerMerritt future-proofed for v3 is a big deal. nobody wants to rebuy a dish every time the satellites get an upgrade

went back through 2 weeks of my own posts. 64 originals, median 25 views. 214 replies, median 56

so i'm posting less and replying more for now. if you got your first 500 followers, what actually moved it?

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@elonmusk @elonmusk really listens to the consumers. that's what a lot of companies/CEOs can learn from. Profit-maxing isn't everything.

Building relationships and showing that they care is.

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@elonmusk Does this extension mean all current CT orders will be delivered? Thinking of buying one soon!

[Sam @schellingsam99]

skipped a $5k plc by building one from a raspberry pi and modbus. claude code wrote most of the reader, i did the wiring and debugging

anyone else replacing industrial hardware with a pi and claude code? what broke first?

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@niccruzpatane @Tesla 500 miles in a day and barely tired is the part that sells me. half my commute is i-10 in the dark and that's what wears me out

[Sam @schellingsam99]

@cb_doge @Starlink no rudder and 1,000 miles from hawaii, and the help ended up coming from another family 230 miles out. that's a wild save
