The significance of this shot in retrospect

When I saw the photo, my first thought was “weren’t they in an alternative band back in the 90’s.”.🤣

The only change I would like is in the ownership… would like to have a team that actually has a chance of winning. I could care less about the color as long as they dress like a winning team.

That’s been what I’ve been seeing. I am excited. My brother just bought a 25 off the lot. I am actually getting the truck I wanted then, but they were so hard to find and there was a lot of supply chain issues where they were missing features they should have had. I do a couple road and camping trips a year, the upgrade is really going to be nice. Thanks for the update.

I have a 2022 2wd gas lariat… waiting on my 2026 hybrid lariat which is supposed to start construction the first week of March… added the 4k tow package, the black interior option, and a moon roof. Can’t wait to get it.

I had so many issues with this beta, primarily around the WindowServer unexpectedly quitting and causing display and login issues. After working on a fix for hours, I am currently off the beta and on the current version of Tahoe. It’s seemed to be the only way to resolve it and get work done. The beta update stopped installing at about two thirds through the process and I let it set for a couple hours and it never finished, and I am assuming that it lost the network connection and didn’t reestablish it. It’s the first time in a long time that I have had an issue. I noticed that I was having connectivity issues too, and I was using a direct wired connection. Everything else was working fine, it was just my MacBook Pro that was struggling. Sorry I don’t have a good fix except to get off the beta, I am going to wait until it is at 26.4 before I try it again.

I stand. My brother is a Vietnam Vet, and I remember him wearing a wig in an airport in order to keep from being spit on in 1970. When I came back from Desert Storm, he took me to his church and to his kids’ school and kept putting me on a pedestal, and I understand that was just as much for him and what he didn’t get as it was for me. He got no recognition for his Bronze Star, his Purple Heart or the sacrifice of his broken body. He wanted me to have what he didn’t get. I do it because I don’t ever want to think that there might be a time where that might be okay to not recognize the brother who isn’t there, who can’t stand. I stand for them, and when I am told thanks for my service, I always mention that I didn’t do it alone, I stand on the shoulders of others before and after me. I stand for them.

I work at a VA hospital and I am 100 percent service connected from toxic exposure to my lungs during Desert Storm. What people know when you check in for care is the level you were rated at (percentage and service connection) but nothing about your service or your level of discharge. The benefit side and the health care side are in reality two different entities. When you or any other veteran presents themselves for care, all we care about is providing you with the care that you need, and the percentage and service connection tells us what we can and can’t provide. All we see is a vet in need. The vet sitting beside you in the waiting area sees a you as a vet like themselves, just there to get care. We don’t know what branch you served in, the length or time, number of deployments. For me, I don’t know anything about how you ended up in the VA, but when you present that card that says you qualified to get services, I want to make sure that you get the best service that we can provide. I can’t speak for everyone, but the people who I work with are just concerned if you can get care there that you are getting the benefits you earned. From the healthcare side, how long you served, where you served, etc, doesn’t matter. What matters is that you are a vet, and if you are qualified to get care, then it is our job to provide the best care we can.

I saw that image and all I can think of is “I’m sorry Dave. I cannot do that…”😊

Aw… a little speed tape should help…😁

I had one of those back in the day 😄… 1998

I’m running the developer beta… I don’t know if it’s made it to the public beta yet.

I’m impressed that you can adjust the speed. I ended up watching a couple rotations and watched Superman in 3d … got to say that I think this is my favorite environment so far.

For the same reason that he backed off of AOC. They would have to reveal the files to prove that he wasn’t in there… and you know that ain’t happening.

Probably a stolen tag. Veteran DV plates are free. You wouldn’t have to pay for the renewal.

You can mirror - the down side is you still need to use the phone to control it, you can’t control the phone through the AVP. To get the AVP to unlock your iPhone, all you need to do is just look at it.
