I used @EcoShield for a year. I informed them I'm unemployed and postponed the next svc. W/o my confirmation, they scheduled a day later, too early to know they'd arrived. I tried to get a compromise… they'd only offered $20 off a $164 bill. They're calling collections on me
I just passed the Petrified Forest National Park. I felt compelled to stop, but I figured I can visit next time… Whatta ya think?

Already, a real life version of an extreme negative stereotype of someone with too much power & money to care, he continues to weaponize “free speech” to perversely shape culture businessinsider.com/elon-mus…
Daaaamn!! @satyanadella just saved @Microsoft nearly $10B!! AND gets to own all the intellectual property of @OpenAI in the process!!! Total cost (relatively) FREE!! Since we don't know anything, I'm putting it out there: @sama planned this all along.
I got a @myQConnect enabled garage opener, then one for my dad. I was waiting for better #smarthome integration; but it's not coming, so I will never buy another #chamberlain/@LiftMaster opener again! arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023…

It's pretty clear to me, listening to @elonmusk in a @BBC interview, that he has no idea what "misinformation" means nor what legit journalists do (…comparing BBC mistakes with #Qanon?!!). He lacks understanding of the "unintended impact" of social media bbc.com/news/av/world-us-can…
*sigh* my colleagues had me convinced to splurge on on #AirPodsMax, so I was about to until I saw that it's one of @Apple's products that still uses their proprietary #Lightning cable #NoSale
My optimistism expected @Tesla to have a tough fight w/legacy mfgrs in 2019, but we learned: (1) Tesla is far more fundamentally innovative than anyone knew (2) the mtn of learning for legacies is more than they could handle as they fight their own legacy
#ElectricVehicles #EV
Hybrids vehicles, a practical way to alleviate #rangeanxiety, but they’ll stifle transition to pure #EV, just as the US’s 1/2-hearted adoption of the metric system failed due to the attempt to transition rather than convert, cold-turkey.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary Actually, I didn’t, but Twitter reminded me. I didn’t know I was even old enough!
Google, toppling the Tower of Babble (#AR combined with #GoogleTranslate) #GoogleIO2022 #ScienceFictionRealized #ScienceNonfiction
#Beijing2022 the future of winter sports in our changed climate epoch: no natural snow (that used to be a requirement to host the #WinterOlympics, but not so, the #Beijing2022WinterOlympics)
What’s this #wordle thing? I finally tried it for the first time and got a piece of it in 4 of 5 tries. powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/
