This is some kind of source-ry, a personal home page that is a desktop environment… Crazy

And so Covid finally landed in our vaccinated and boosted home. Wife and I are positive, daughter who is still at home is negative. Fingers crossed she stays that way.

Why does every interaction with every vendor result in being hounded by survey after survey, drives me crazy. Doesn’t matter if I went to the pet store and bought the food for my puppy, ordered something online or interacted with customer support….. survey, reminder about the survey, oh hey did you get our survey….

Exclusive: Surveillance Footage of Tesla Crash on Bay Bridge

Exclusive: Surveillance Footage of Tesla Crash on Bay Bridge:

HIGHWAY SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE from Thanksgiving Day shows a Tesla Model S vehicle changing lanes and then abruptly braking in the far-left lane of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, resulting in an eight-vehicle crash. The crash injured nine people, including a 2-year-old child, and blocked traffic on the bridge for over an hour.

Having experienced the “Phantom Braking” a couple of times while using just the traffic-aware cruise control it is terrifying and is really unsafe. Time to stop using that feature for a while. I have been reporting it both to the NTSB and Tesla when it happens.

Happy new year to all you independant thinkers out there.

Desert morning.

I have to think that there are many people at SpaceX and Tesla that are glad Elon is distracted over at Twitter.
