Just left STRATCOM for the Pentagon in 2023. Still have two grown daughters there in Omaha. I miss Papillion and the "traffic" there.
Yeah, but you have to admit that the Ford360 and Copilot in the Maverick Lariat is pretty decent. I mean, it'd keep a lane pretty well and distance. I miss my little 2023 Mav sometimes...
We were in there at the same time then. I started just after moving to the new building in early 2020, and retired about a year ago. Don’t miss it in there all that much ha.
2016 for me there. I got to be in both buildings. I was actually working in the new building setting it up and running in a dual capacity way to make sure we could take over for bldg. 500. It wasn't bad there at all in Eagle Hills there. May be back in a couple years... never know.
That's terrifying! I think your experience was worse than mine. We were stuck in a parking lot and, yes, it's INCREDIBLY loud. But I wouldn't say ours were baseball sized, more like golf ball. Still the biggest I've ever seen in my life! Glad to know we weren't at our limit with golf balls ?
That's about what I experienced, terrifying stuff! Yeah, that doesn't happen in southern California ?
This storm from 15 years ago obliterated the DeLorean panels, although the glass miraculously survived.
When I was stationed in North Dakota, I had just gotten my Silverado trail boss in spring 2019 and the truck was at work when a super cell rolled through with golf ball or similar in size hail to Gus's photo. it was about 5k to fix the 30 or so dings on my truck. couldn't see them in the silver paint until it was dried off. I was stationed on the central coast of California before that, and never had to worry about anything except for wildfire ash messing up a clean car during the summers.
Ziggy, I’m over 70 and just traded in my X for a Cybertruck. I found it easier to drive than the X especially with the self driving option. Did you take a test drive in one? I made that “mistake“ while my X was in for its 3 year service. I say “mistake“ because once I drove it and found out that all my golf clubs with the golf bag fit into the frunk I was sold!
You have to be "in the know" to want to buy a Tesla, especially with all the negative misinformation out there designed to make you not want one. You might say owning a Tesla is an indicator that you are not too stupid to see through the negative fake narratives.
Oh, come on, we already only catch the dumbest criminals that haven't heard about all the cameras. Advertising Sentry Mode would reduce that further to only complete idiots! These would be people so marginal, so out of it, that we might feel guilty prosecuting them.
On the contrary. The older you are, and the worse your eyesight and reflexes and the higher the chance you could have a mid-trip heart attack or simply lose consciousness while travelling, the more you stand to benefit from a vehicle with FSD. Especially now that it's on the cusp of actually being able to drive unsupervised.
Considering that the best-selling car in the world for the last two years in a row is a Tesla Model Y, and it got there without relying on big advertising spends, I would question why anyone would think any car company had to spend big money on advertising unless their products were so terrible they wouldn't sell at all without advertising. The Model Y outsold every other car and truck in the world, most of which were heavily advertised with the billions of dollars legacy auto companies spend every year on advertising.
You realize I agree!
