I was talking to a gay family married who was married to opposite gender for 20 years and had a family before coming out. We both grew up in a world that said homosexuality was a choice.

He said he “chose to be straight” for 20+ years and it almost killed him and ruined the lives of others.

My mother in law was an office manager at a dentist. Dentists have sales quotas and have bonuses to everyone in the office for upselling.

You go in to a medical professional for health care and advice and they try and sell to you.

Right. And I think a mix of labor and supply chain issues were impacting it on the other side.

Are pool prices coming down? I heard during Covid and in ground pool could run you $100k+ with long waits. Has that price come down any?

I think that's it. His vision is to try and make a WeChat competitor. As much as I hate it, I fear that if he can string along the investors for long enough he could actually maybe make it successful if he adds everything else to it.

But the Fediverse is growing too which is better. Let Musk and Zuck have their dick measuring competition and let's build something better over here!

This is why we need school standards. I was taught this at home and believed it till I got to college.

That might be based on where you live. Im in Austin TX and I see several mavericks every day but I think I’ve only seen 1 Hummer EV in the wild.

I also see a Rivian every day. But then I had a 8 hour road trip and I never saw once I got out of Austin.

Preach it. A PHEV maverick would be amazing.

I take pictures. I use apps. I listen to podcasts. If I want to watch something I typically use my TV , laptop, or iPad. But I don’t want a monstrosity in my pocket. Insert penis size joke here

I made some minor adjustments to my seat position and height and I could tell a difference today. I think I need to just beef up them quads.

The electronics on the thing are not that expensive. It's just a little photosensor that by default goes at dusk till dawn. The programmable portion is to change the delay and light sensitivity. Since summer vs winter is 3-4 hours different a timer would have to be adjusted a lot.
