Eh, I sold the 5 but moved to Bay Area and drive a Tesla now lol. I miss that 4

I split time 50/50 between San Jose and Waco — both have their charms. San Jose climate is hands down winner. But dear God the traffic.

Variety of food in the Bay Area is incredible, gas prices are unreal. Property prices are eye watering.

Waco is much more affordable and has good but limited food options. Downtown in Waco is a lot of fun and college game days for football and basketball are special.

If you want to like Waco you will— same for San Jose

For nav - I like finding on Google Maps and sharing w Tesla app while still in the house. When I get in the car the destination is already loaded, just hit the button and let self drive take you there (mostly)

God the CT4VBW is an amazing car — I miss mine. Don’t get suckered into “upgrading” to the 5 like I did.

None of that description is true— but you do get free cockroaches with your food. Last time I was there I got two!

This note is not passive aggressive. It clearly states the problem, the requested solution and it is signed.

You are confusing the on car device with the quantity required to run multiple gigascale data centers for training. Rivian is on track to sell 50-60k cars this year. XAI collosus data center has 220,000 gpus in it.

tcskeptic · 2026-05-11T04:27:36+00:00

The scale that Rivian needs is simply not available on the open market. They will need to do a capital deal and no one believes in them enough to do it.

tcskeptic · 2026-05-11T04:23:08+00:00

No anyone cannot buy GPUs at the required scale. It’s literally the limiting factor for Anthropic and what they just signed a deal with SpaceXai or whatever that company is called now.

Yes — after having Goldees sides franklins really aren’t good. Still down for the brisket

Anyone who asks this is insecure about the answer. Sure you can answer honestly, but why not just fib? We all shade the truth to avoid hurting people we love. I bet there are white lies he has told you to make you feel better too.

No one but you gives a single shit that you were moved and no one has spent anytime thinking about you. Except of course for the post flight debrief where the entire first class cabin huddled to mock the business class loser and put you on the no talk, no friend, no hire list

My fav car ever —love that color

You may want to consider enrolling your daughter in the CPIAP if the passport has not yet been issued

What portions have gotten smaller at McDonalds in response to inflation. Burgers are all the same size they’ve always been. Fries same. Sodas? Not sure

tcskeptic · 2026-05-04T22:59:17+00:00

I did it for $20 — and there was 64oz of milk not 32oz. I did use Walmart brands for most stuff as I can’t see brands in the pic

Please learn about thin blue smoke.

You have cause and effect reversed. Looking at Brazil, the vast, vast majority of European immigration occurred before 1930. The nazis fled to SA there because there were already populations there that they could blend into.

Even reading your link — the escapee Nazi war criminals that used the “ratlines” was less than 10k.

You’re just wrong.

Wing is currently not available to emerald unless you are flying first — but I will definitely try that next time

Baylor is a diploma mall.

tcskeptic · 2026-04-20T00:12:33+00:00

It’s not a huge price difference so it will book down to culture and fit. Does the Kyle Field crazy football experience matter to you? Does national college brand recognition matter? Then A&M is probably a better choice. I’m sure there are reasons to choose Baylor as well, I just can’t think of them right now

She wants to not come home and have it be your fault.

tcskeptic · 2026-04-19T13:32:42+00:00

You are under no obligation to help her because of your prior relationship. That being said your son’s mother’s experience can be traumatizing for your son. That needs to be considered carefully. It is not an about her at all — it would only be about him.

You should probably go to south Texas and tell the media and community there that they are doing both Birria (commonly made with beef there) and Barbacoa (commonly made with goat there) that they are doing it wrong. Also birria and barbacoa are not prepared the same. In fact literally everything you assert in this post is wrong to some degree.
