It’s like this place back in the day. People you know, not algorithms. Come say hello and find old friends. 🙂 I'm @​ferventgeek​.com over there, on hiatus over here.

Hey @chevrolet, my Bolt battery safety recall warning is on and the car won’t drive. The dealer says no loaner. Can you help? I’m assuming this won’t catch fire, but anything you can do to make quick warranty work easier would be appreciated.

Update, new battery, under warranty, dealer loaner. GM’s doing the right thing and I still love this car.

Miss you, @AmericanAir. My job HDQ changed and I lost status to nonstops on another airline. But every now and then I get to be “home”. Maybe D2→EXP history ❤️ is forever.

At AA we had these, but because we were an airline you could send desk to desk anywhere in the world in 36 hours, 7 days a week. Domestic usually same day if you walked it to the box by noon.

Private property may still be a thing in Texas; something we might should agree on, even when it's hard. "State Fair gun rule stands: Texas Supreme Court denies Paxton's appeal" cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas… via @CBSNewsTexas

Austin Rain Dome- science!
A @UTAustin study published on Sept. 9 revealed that over 60% of cities receive more rainfall than nearby rural areas due to urbanization, which creates rapid heating and more convection. However, Austin’s location and triangular growth formation weaken storms when they reach the city’s center, resulting in less rainfall than other cities. thedailytexan.com/2024/09/23…

Excitement in the near-'hood. All roads big and small are under construction in NW and central-west austin, so we get spicy on the daily.
A watermain break near Loop 360 & Spicewood has all lanes closed on Spicewood. Consider alternate routes and expect delays. #ATXtraffic

FlightAware has a page up tracking the UPS planes loaded with iPhones heading to the US for Friday’s launch. Assuming roughly 300,000 iPhones fit a 747-8F, just one group planes near Alaska was hauling $2,330,200,000 ($2.3 billion) worth of iPhones this morning.
