RE: SUNDAY MEDITATION SERIES (#4) - Are You Prepared for Negativity?
Traffic is a real struggle. The first time my wife rode with me she said she couldn't believe it because I'm mild-mannered for the most part unless something happens in traffic, then I turn into my father.

Oh yeah! I sure have. I wrote a post about it a while back. I think it's absolutely ridiculous people feel they have to put stickers on their cars to avoid vandalism.

Lol, it takes a lot of energy sometimes doesn't it? I see many of those people on socials who have chosen their hill to die on and try to convert everyone to their way of thinking. So much of that behavior

RE: Tesla’s 2025.8 Spring Software Updates
Right now is a really good time to buy one. People don't realize how little can go wrong with them mechanically so as long as the battery health is good buying a used one is pretty safe overall. The used

The used ones are an EXCELLENT deal as long as battery health is good. There isn't much else that can go wrong. If you can find a Long Range or Performance model with Full Self Driving already loaded that

RE: Tesla’s 2025.8 Spring Software Updates
This was one thing I was worried about when I first got it but learned I didn't have to be. They're pretty bulletproof at this point. The main thing to remember is to just charge to 80% for everyday driving,

After my divorce in 2005 I was very close to moving back but the timing wasn't great. My brother and parents had relocated to central Florida a few years before that and Florida wasn't a place I could

I hope this is the case! Access to AI will be almost necessary for success in the future. I can't even imagine trying to compete without it when most of the world is plugged in.

It's going to be a wild world during this next decade. I think all of this technological/societal change will cause a massive shift in the economy sparking quite a long recession before the economy rebalances.
