@ai6yr So I wonder. I know a few people that work there (They have a test/research center in Palo Alto). The PowerWall's batteries from my understanding are the ones that did not make the cut for the cars.

if the battery is still good, I wonder if you could simply have it towed and use it as a battery for your home system? Not a cute as. a powerwall but...

@ai6yr OMG this takes me back.... Never seen it quite this elaborate. Was part of the extensive hazing in our scout troop.

Mom's were not spared either. The list of required equipment included:

a bacon stretcher
a smoke shovel
an ear drum

There was only 1 REI in Nor Cal and that was in Berkeley so it was mostly Surplus and Camping stores. Many of the clerks were in on it. The moms would be pretty pissed having spent a day getting the run around. Welcome to troop and post 153, San Carlos, CA

Summer Camp was no different and the staff at Camp Chawanakee (near Shaver lake) would also help. We would send new kids to the Outpost which was a good 3 miles round trip looking for 50 feet of shoreline. We would always send at least 4 cause they would come back lugging 1" manila rope which weighted a ton. You look at it and say "No, I need right hand weave not left" and they would carry it back and return saying they were out but they had timberline and it would repeat lol

There's only one thing that "Turkey inflation" means to me, and it has nothing to do with finance. 🤪

@ai6yr LOL its pretty brutal there though. That is the official rate too, in reality its much much higher. We were there April 2023 and even when we hired a guide they would only take USD or Euros. It also was amusing every morning to watch the Russian citizens line up at money changing places to exchange bitcoin for hard currency as they are shut out of the banking system

On the other hand if you want to eat like crap that Popeye's meal is a deal (for us at least) for under $2 USD and no we did not partake BTW

Elfin Forest rarely disappoints for and today was no exception. Lots of good stuff.

I cut my teeth tracking Bush era rendition planes. These headlines are wrong. We, will, and still track planes. It will not be as easy, but still doable to the spotting community. The situational trackers like swifties will have harder

Greatest movie opening ever? Aviation, Rock, and napalm. For my money Apocalypse Now has the greatest opening. The Doors and a perfect song choice, the slowed down thumping or the choppers, the haze, the napalm that fades intoa celing fan and clearly altered Martin Sheen. Coupled with the legendary difficult production... Perfect #ApocalyseNow #theDoors #rock #music

LA Times article about someone who turned a rental into an Airbnb... had to roll my eyes at how the homeowner judged the renter's character...

"...made a great impression on the walk-through, driving up in a white Tesla and sporting a Rolex."

(driving a Tesla is not necessarily a red flag, unless it's a Cybertruck -- but combined with "wearing a Rolex" would be a huge red flag. Just owning/showing off a Rolex is a red flag.)

@ai6yr My dad always said that looking at someones car is a poor way to judge wealth. Leases and car loans are pretty easy to get. That dude could have leased his car AND fake Rolexes can be hard to spot

I had an Uncle who was crazy well off. And his stuff was super nice, but understated. Truly rich do not want to draw that level of attention like the huge blingy watch

@ai6yr Yeah its sad actually. We are some of the highest paid nurses in the SF Bay Area, Hence the US, hence the world. We have nurses bringing in 250K a year without a crazy amount of overtime and yet live paycheck to paycheck. The new land Rover ever 2-3 years does not help
