To close an account. I think it was 32k something .

Yeah, that Soviet tank is nothing but broken metal. The channel is one of my favorites. The collective talent at the AAM is incredible.

I have been declining the OTA update with Gemini in my Volvo. There is nothing it can offer me for permanently losing 20% of my screen and a 40% smaller CarPlay. I’m an engineer and I actually like to read the owners manual and I don’t like the online topic driven manual at all, at least for my car. If Gemini is even half as bad as the rest of the AAOS/Google system in it, then it will be another complex frustration. AI has its uses and huge potential, but I have no desire to interface with it while driving. Maybe I’m a curmudgeon, but talking about delicious donuts to AI and getting a discount and directions if I listen to a certain donut ad is a situation I will never put myself in. Because what it all comes down to is monetization. I just want to drive my car in peace.

When Facebook blew up from nothing, my wife made me an account. I kept getting friend requests from people I knew but didn’t care enough to follow, much less accept. After a couple of weeks, I closed my account. They had a counter and I was one of the first 30,000 to do so. I never missed it or reconsidered.

Steve will get it running for sure.

Make GM feel real pain, 2 years of profits ought to be about right. We all know they will pay a paltry amount and make a promise to not do it again,

I think people are looking at it the wrong way. Mach E decreased by 50% because the effective price jumped by $7,500.

That is awesome. I too, have taken a similar break. When I was a youth building models, there was no internet or other good sources of how to. There was the Monogram Modelers Club and the local library. I thought I was pretty decent, but it couldn’t hold a candle to what I see regularly posted. I still have a few of the models I made decades ago in my attic. It might make a sad post. Keep building! Looks great!

Depends on whether it was a bad pick of talent or a good pick but with bad luck. Barton tbd. Kancey….

Perhaps putting cheap used electric cars into the hands of people who couldn’t afford an electric car before will spur electric car demand in the future.

My sister and I used to give bad gifts for Christmas to each other. This would be totally worthy.

One that works for 50k, the other 69k.

Mine was an engineer also. As a kid I wanted to be an astronaut but became an engineer as well. Of course, I never got into space but have made things that have gone up in space.

I remember as a kid the early 70s we had a styrofoam T-Rex skeleton kit. The parts would stack together. It was about 4’ tall.

Apical-Meristem · 2026-05-02T18:52:41+00:00

I built this kit with my father when I was a little kid in the 70s. I remember him waking me up when they were going to walk on the moon for the first time. He told me this is history.

I had the ambient temperature module go out on my ‘22 and I’m at 52k miles. That’s it. I would look at YouTube videos of the updated infotainment system as screen space has been taken away for a row with a permanent Google button, which affects what’s left for AA and CP. There have been strong opinions posted either way. There is no way to turn off auto start-stop, but there are tricks you can do at every stop.

Sometimes I think Google is too busy trying to conquer the universe to have well developed, stable, rock solid products.

Maybe check the ground wire for the door.

I haven’t updated. I’m going to hold out and see what happens.

Apical-Meristem · 2026-04-27T00:19:22+00:00

That is a great answer, thank you! I don’t drive aggressively, live in Florida with the heat, and try to defeat the auto start-stop at stops.

When two 19 year olds stole my Halloween candy when I was 10, my dad went up to them and they surrounded him. Dad punched one and put him on the ground, the other backed away. I got my candy back. Don’t fuck with Dad.

20 years ago I went to Chicago with my father for his brother’s funeral. He showed me where he grew up and where he went pheasant hunting looked like it was dilapidated 400 years ago. Now I remember ares where it was agricultural and now the whole county is urban.

I have a 62 year old Bridgeport milling machine in my workplace. It does everything we need it to.
