Not everyone has the follow-through to maintain a property over the years. Some owners allow a structure or surrounding grounds to degrade. There is something to be said for the homeowners that keep a house, property, and neighborhood well maintained and attractive to live in over the years.

Yes, I remember when they used the signal out the back through the plasma during reentry. It was astoundingly good!

This sounds quite short sighted to me. You can’t imagine needing links being sent in everyday workflow at the office, yet I can’t imagine not using links in emails.

How would people interact with vendors and salespeople that send links to product specs, troubleshooting articles, etc?

Beefman, could you tell us more about how you know this?

It's actually pleasant to interact with the flight attendants. They have nice things to share, like snacks, drinks, and food.

Is that cheating? Seems difficult enough for me, still.

I see a juggler handling five balls. I succeed at three balls. I fail at four balls. Have I proven that it's impossible to juggle five balls at once?

I'm curious if a class action lawsuit for Kia and Hyundai customers would make more sense.

I also wonder if auto insurance companies might refuse to insure Kia and Hyundai vehicles until this is fixed.

Overall, that movie painted him in a good light. "Strong leader bucks the system and makes a product that we all love" was the message I got from it.

My point is that the recent mass layoffs have negatively affected Musk's reputation and has not had an impact on Zuckerberg's. I think your illustration of his rep having a negative aspect as far back as the movie is in line with that.

With Musk's purchase of Twitter we've seen a lot more attention on alternative platforms such as Mastodon and Bluesky (?). I don't see anything like that with Facebook, other than the old struggles of any aging hangout spot. Also, note the difference in reaction to paying for verification on Twitter Vs. Instagram. People get mocked on Twitter for having the "blue checkmark". It's just silly.

Mobile browsers were a painful experience before that. Mobile keyboards were a painful experience before that.

I think Blackberry was the only one that did both OK enough to take seriously. I know people loved the Sidekick, but I never used it and don't recall if people used a web browser on it, or just text messaging.

The first iPhone was more impressive than a Blackberry.

I legitimately think it's trendy to hate on Elon. Both Elon and Zuckerberg seem to have come to the conclusion that there was a lot of dead weight on their staff. One is hated on, the other is not.

I'm still using Twitter and only seeing improvements to the platform, plus promise of upcoming improvements.

Community Notes is a big deal. Company badges are helpful. The "Show more" gate is now properly hiding SPAM instead of "wrong think". The "For you" algorithm has actually improved, too.

I thought I had a vague sense of why they stopped doing AMAs, but for the life of me I can't remember why now. Those were great.

Highly amusing.
