Life is so short and so interesting, it would be shame not to try to enjoy as much of it as possible.

Will #Tesla shareholders vote to give Elon a huge compensation package this June 13 (now worth $45B)?

@drahardja I hope not. How could that possibly be a financially sensible thing for the shareholders to do? But then there are millions of people who say they'll vote for despite being a convicted felon. So WTF do I know?? 🤔

So, the #Giants couldn't manage another big come from behind win and lose game to the #Phillies but they take the series 2-1 and stand at 29-17 before facing the #Yankees (37-19) for 3 games at home starting the day after tomorrow.

So, it's not going to get any easier for the Giants any time soon and whoever put the schedule together for the Giants much really had something against them. LOL! 🤦‍♂️

#HomeOwnership #WaterHeater

The water heater in my house just started to leak. ☹️

Water was leaking from the top not the bottom. When the liner breaks, it usually leaks from the bottom. So, I'm hoping it's just a leaky hose or valve that has to be fixed. It'll cost about $2.4k if it has to be replaced. 🤷‍♂️

Have an appt for the plumber to come over early tomorrow morning to either fix or replace it.

I've been making this "dish" for years.

It's easy to make. You can now buy the fried dough ("yow til") at 99Ranch, as well as the preserved duck eggs ("pei don"). Otherwise, you just need the long grained rice (boiled to a thick & smooth consistency which requires some practice to get right and some sliced green onions & sesame seed oil to top it off.

It's at the top of my list of Cantonese comfort food. Yum!!! 🤗

#SFGiants #MLB

Wow!!! 🥳

The #Giants come back from 2-6 to score 5 runs in the top of the 8th to win today's game w/the #Pirates 7-6.

The rally was fueled by a 3 run HR by Chapman -- his 3rd HR in 3 days during the series. 👏

Tyler Rogers (RH) got the save.

So, the Giants took the series 2-1 and are now only 1 game below .500 at 25-26. 🙂

Details to follow after I watch the game off of my DVR & study the final box score further.

So…can the actually beat a Porsche 911 in the quarter mile WHILE TOWING a Porsche 911, as Elon claimed?

No. No it can’t.

But it CAN keep up with the slowest Porsche 911 to the 8th mile, which is DAMN impressive.

@drahardja A ridiculous & irrelevant comparison, IMO. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah the WankerTruck (WT) is fast, as all EVs are, but straight line, drag race speed isn't what "driving" is all about.

Take that behemoth into the twisties and it would be all over the place and would have to slow WAY down just to stay on the road.

Any 911 would smoke the WT in the backroads and on a road course like Sonoma or Laguna where the turns are many and the straight aways are few & far between.

If you’re a guy in the , you’ve probably heard of Alice’s restaurant in La Honda. I went up there recently and I saw this sign.

This is chickenshit. If you want to raise prices, raise your menu prices. I’m willing to pay for the difference. Don’t blame “inflation” and then add 6% to your prices off-menu. This shit should be illegal.

Cowards.

@sgt1372@sfba.social avatar

@drahardja

When I lived in The City and still road motorcycles, it use to be the "thing to do" to stop at Alice's to look at other bikes & to meet other riders but not necessarily eat there.

I have eaten there when it wasn't busy and never got sick there but this was back in the 80's when I hope their food handling was better.

After awhile, I still rolled by to see what was going on but Alice's simply got too busy/popular and I stopped going there and rode down to Pescadero via La Honda & Pescadero Ck Rds to eat at Duarte's Tavern instead, which is FAR BETTER than Alice's and then road back up to The City via Hwy 1.

#Allergies #Sneezing

I do not usually suffer from allergies but something got to me yesterday that had me sneezing all day and forced me to take a couple of allergy pills (twice during the day) which eventually stopped the sneezing but also made me tired & groggy, forcing me into bed early.

Woke up w/o any symptoms, so hopefully the allergen that kicked by butt yesterday has passed on. 🙏

What creeped me out most about #Stormy 's testimony yesterday was #Drumpf 's very #Weinstein type behavior -- unexpectedly finding that FAT-F*CK Drupf sitting on the edge of the bed in silk jammies blocking her way out.

    My landlord installed a heatpump / electric combo water heater last month. It has a wifi connectivity feature that supposedly lets you schedule the water heater.

    I was excited to be able to turn it off during peak times (4 to 9pm) and at night and set it to high efficiency mode when needed.

    I didn't watch it live and know nothing about the horses in the race but the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby was a 3 way photo finish with a 18-1 long shout -- Mystic Dan -- winning the race by a nose.

    You can watch the entire race here:

    https://www.nbcsports.com/watch/kentucky-derby-2024-full-race-mystik-dan-wins-in-a-photo-finish

    The announcer blew the call naming another horse in the lead at the turn before the straight away to the finish & only figured out that Mystic Dan was in the lead until he broke away out in front beyond the turn.

    Mystic Dan faded and was lucky to get the win, holding off betting favorites Sierra Leone (3-1) in 2nd and Forever Young (7-1) in 3rd.

    This doesn't include my large collections of CDs & LPs that I still enjoy listening to on the mostly 1980's vintage audio gear that still works well.

    @drahardja So, this N thing just gives you a virtual gear box experience? 🤔

    Does it actually limit the full power (rev) range of the EV just to simulate a the red line effects driving a car with a real transmission?

    If so, I think that's stupid.

    I'd still prefer the real ICE sports car, preferably w/a manual transmission that you can actually control, even if it's slower than an EV.

    Besides, who wants to ride in what essentially becomes a driving simulator with this N thing?

    I wouldn't mind test driving one but I'd never buy/lease one. 🤷‍♂️

    Nice to see Winn finally getting some (not a lot but just enough) run support to get his 1st "win" of the season by throwing 6 1-run innings, that run was a HR but it was an excellent outing.

    Soler still isn't hitting long balls but he did get 2 hits and a walk and scored a run ahead of an Estrada double. He was also reached 3rd on a Chapman double that scored Lee.

    The 3rd run was scored w/2 on and no out after Ahmed hit into a DP but those are all the runs that the Giants need to win after Doval (who was more focused) came in to get the save --- 3 up/down w/one K.

    The Giants win the series 2-1 and FWIW, according to the announcers, this was the 1st series win for the Giants in Miami since 2016! 🤷‍♂️

    Now let's see how the Giants do vs the $Dbacks starting today.

    @drahardja LOL!!! 🤦‍♂️

    Think that's a C6 and don't think that model had a backup cam. So, it's hard to see anything out the back of one.

    But that wasn't the problem.

    Obviously the moron was attempting to show off by gunning the engine, lost some rear traction, over corrected and crashed simply because he didn't take his foot off the gas.

    Oh well . . . 🤷‍♂️
