Realized I forgot the final product. Didn’t get pics after I carved it because pictures are hard when you’re hosting and drinking 😅
You’ll just have to trust it was a perfect med rare and was delish.

The lack of trust EVGo has fostered because of their charging infrastructure has single-handedly set back the EV movement years, not decades, if I had to guess.
With the exception of 2 times, every single EVGo charger I’ve ever had to use while on a road trip has shit the bed.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Shocked and sad to hear about the passing of Adam the Woo.
While I haven’t watched his vlogs in some time, his passion about movie history and locations in LA that have historical cinematic meaning were some of the best. May he rest in peace, and thoughts to his family.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

As a presenter, you should have the confidence to not ask if your audience can hear you and/or see your screen at the beginning of a presentation.
Surely you’ve practiced and know how to properly share your screen at this point?

Happy this got resolved for him, but it makes me think how often this happens to folks without a platform or the luck of Gruber blogging about it. Something is definitely broken on the Apple side, and I sure don’t want to ever have an Apple GC touch my account.

Ok idea, instead of commercials it’s just Lucy and the Ghoul walking around gas stations and whatnot looting and coming across product placement stuff along with Fallout game Easter eggs.
They need to add like 20 minutes of folks just walking around looting in the Fallout show.
