We’re not having a good day. Last night trump was re-elected. This morning our power was out and we received text messages to evacuate immediately which didn’t sound right. But we bugged out to our daughters who told us it wasn’t even close to us. Power finally just came back on and our cell phones are going crazy again but the fire seems to be causing havoc in Camarillo, not here. @ai6yr

Hasn’t Musk said this before? Like every year for 5 or 6 years? What a joke!

I really wonder what BMW is thinking sometimes 🤷🏼 “BMW M has been working on simulated gearshifts "for some years already" and has developed "some very interesting approaches."
In a similar vein, BMW M is considering fake engine noises synced with a driver's inputs”

@ai6yr Just be aware that some people only interact via voice so that there isn’t a record of the conversation such as text or email. This is not unusual with some people in DC and it could be very frustrating when I worked with them.
