There has been a lot of people voicing opinions on people only following back verified. I understand the frustration. In prior weeks I had been trying to build up followers. This was difficult due to limitations on following, which affects ability to follow everyone back when

Good morning from Kentucky Lake! Enjoying some breakfast before getting back to some work outside the house today now that the temperature has come back up.

Maybe the real concern about abolishing the filibuster is that the Democrats will join with enough RINOs to pass a bunch of Democrat bills
If the filibuster was abolished, Republicans could get 51 votes to implement a national Voter ID law and ban Mail-In ballots.

So this morning learned that I had been blocked months ago by an account. Shortly after posting the below comment about it, I then was informed my account was flagged for being spam or otherwise abusing the system. Can't help but think that someone else is abusing the system by

I want Optimus to one up this best walking race by just coming out and doing a super smooth moon walk fully across the stage.

This certainly sounds like the person the Republican candidate should bend the knee to and help get elected right? /s Sliwa throwing the election to this primary loser, is ridiculous. If you think Cuomo is that much better than Mamdani you are very much mistaken.
Trump called me a bad Democrat? No I’m a good Democrat. A proud Democrat. Because when I lead, I protect our values and our people. ICE and the National Guard coming into New York City under my watch? Never. It didn’t happen when I was Governor and it won’t happen when I’m

The thing is, this wasn't a dystopian sci-fi. Nor even a neon mega-city sci-fi. I'd just eaten breakfast on a barge at the KenLake Marina. The autonomous drive was in rural KY. Driving by farms, cows, tractors and grain silos. Then wooded country roads back to my house

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the sci-fi morning I've been living. I just arrived home from having breakfast after a 36min drive, where my car drove me the entire way on its own. During the trip I was having a conversation with the AI in the Tesla vehicle. Just a

Awesome. Love to see this industry build up more and more.
Late last month, our G1_Dallas factory set a new production record: 14 MW of solar panels in a single day. Do the math: that's a 5.1 GW annualized pace. Domestic solar. It's the path to American power. Thank you to our G1 workers!

This is very well stated and provides some good clear thinking around what is occurring with AI development and financing.
Jeff Bezos just explained the “AI bubble” better than anyone. At Italian Tech Week 2025, Bezos didn’t deny the hype, he embraced it. “Yes, there’s a bubble. But AI is real and it’s going to transform every single industry.” He called it an industrial bubble, not a financial

@canraptor_ @SpaceX @blueorigin @RocketLab There are good engineers at Boeing and Lockheed, but we have to get rid of the cost-plus contracting system that incentivizes maximizing costs!

@pitdesi I'm perfectly fine with using UTC. The alignment of our workday with the clock already feels a bit arbitrary to me. We start at 5-7 in the morning. What actual time it is depends on daylight savings and the season. It certainly doesn't remain fixed to the daylight, which is

All of this is very interesting. The problem is, I've no idea what truly matters to Trump. Is his position on space policy purely politically driven, such as indicated by dropping Isaacman's nomination. Or is it prestige driven, wanting to beat China and get a landing in
In recent weeks, copies of an intriguing policy document have started to spread among space lobbyists on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The plan bears the title “Athena." Why is it appearing now? https://t.co/QTTB45YFx2

I've seen several posts attacking Sliwa with this today. This is good reason to not trust those trying to get people to flip from Sliwa to Cuomo, because this is bogus. This was a memorial event where bunches of people were invited to speak regarding the deaths of elderly who
Collusion? Republican Curtis Sliwa started campaigning against @andrewcuomo during the Democratic primary with DSA Socialist Zohran Mamdani. Is @CurtisSliwa staying in the race today to help @ZohranKMamdani get elected? Remember, a vote FOR Sliwa is a vote FOR Mamdani...

After reading this I've started wondering if Duffy is just using the race with China and 'SpaceX is behind' as an excuse to try to find a way get of SLS/Orion ASAP before someone gets hurt. SpaceX just doing the whole thing could be the way out.

Love it. Simply put. It comes down to what people are willing to pay vs what can sustain a business. Complaining on neither end changes that. If people find the prices too high, they'll find a way to fix it themselves. Maybe they'll decide to pay next time if it was too
@A_LastingLegacy Why complain about people complaining about price? The market dictates price. If no one is willing to pay your price, then you’ll need to adjust. It’s that simple. Crying about how much it costs to run a business is pointless, no one cares. Either you have customers or you

Random fact for those who seemed surprised that we haven't discovered everything living in the oceans... The surface area of the Pacific ocean alone is greater than the combined surface area of all the land masses on Earth. Plus, it has an average depth of about 4000m or

@OpenSourceZone It's a shame all the more moderate Democrats didn't do a better job of getting Cuomo chosen in the primaries. It's almost as if their plan all along was to blackmail the Republicans into installing the lousy Cuomo by threatening to otherwise let a communist take over. Imagine

I'm pretty interested in home solar, but the quoted installation costs are crazy high. Constantly hearing about the panel prices being super affordable. But as long as I have to have certified installers to connect it to the grid, and all the installers are charging so damn
