Moving is always hell. It doesn’t matter if you move yourself or pay a company to do it. Good luck

This guy sounds like a flake.

Hey, so uhh @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team… do you want to get on this, maybe?

Trump said this week that Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. This is what he said in July.

I know the answer to this one

Cybertruck Tried to Drive 'Straight Off an Overpass' Attorney Claims ‘Elon Musk is an aggressive and irresponsible salesman, who has a long history of making dangerous design choices, and over-promising the features of his products.’

We got photos and video of the Cybertruck that nearly barreled off an overpass while using full self driving. Lawsuit says Tesla is to blame because Musk has oversold the truck’s ability to drive itself

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

You’re being childish by cursing at them. I give them the finger and the jerk-off sign.

Well. That’s awfully hasty
