The downfall of GM to become permanent now. No cars. Only SUVs and trucks. Limited EV (which people don’t want), and higher prices. 🤦‍♂️

GM removing CarPlay from more cars, bizarrely citing Steve Jobs as inspiration - 9to5Mac

In March 2023, GM announced it was ditching CarPlay in all of its future EVs. Two and a half years...

If you have an M3 MacBook Pro, would you advise upgrading to a MacBook Pro with M5. Note, before this I had an Intel i7 MacBook Pro. Night and day difference!

Amazons Web Service suffered a huge outrage today and tons of companies were affected. Haven’t we learned ANYTHING!!! You can’t have ONE COMPANY controlling the niche/sector.

Combing through my DVR. If you wanna have a good laugh watch a new comedy called DMV. The DMV undergoes a stress test determine if it will be closed during the government shut down. How ironic (you know since we’re currently in a government shut down for over 20 days now)

What was your first USB flash drive or thumb drive you ever owned and what was its capacity?

If my memory serves me right, it was a Lexar clear plastic see-through purple 32MB flash drive or “thumb drive.”

Please understand you NEVER can solve a financial problem with money. You have to find out WHAT is going on and WHY it is going on it.

I used to tolerate a lot because I didn’t want to lose people.

Now, I realize those weren’t my people.

Set those boundaries.

As someone who is near the age of 40 and a single man, I have an embarrassing confession. The only types of eggs I know how to “cook” on a stove are scrambled eggs.

You can have the desire but are willing to put in the energy, time, commitment, and sacrifice? 🤔

Being healthy is not all about hitting the gym and eating healthy. It’s also about who you surround yourself with and who you let influence you.

I applied for positions in July & August and I’m just NOW getting a typical email rejection mid October! You think I waited around for a response? No response is a response and that type reflects poorly on you! If you don’t move on my app within two weeks, I’m moving on!

What affects you directly affects your environment and therefore your money.

Do not insert unnecessary uncertainty where it does not belong.

XRAY RESULTS are in! All good!
No broken bones, no fragments, no dislocations. Use muscle relaxers for pain management and follow up with primary care physician if pain gets worse. Pain could take a few months to go away.

Good Morning everyone! Hope you all have a good day. 🤗 ☕️

You know the pain is bad when a grown man picks up the phone to make a doctor appointment after two months of continuous tailbone region pain after having two falls down 15 steps. Me… I am the grown man 🤣

Apple Pay at Home Depot….

If I pay with Apple Pay using a particular card and the actual physical card is in my Home Depot account, how come the receipts won’t show up in my purchase history?

6am & I got a text from one of my decades long friends. She got so excited because today’s Prime Day, she got a really good deal on a vacuum cleaner and she was able to use her Amazon Prime Credit Card because it’s not maxed out. Do you know how hard I started laughing!

Both faith and fear ask you believe in something you cannot see. Choose the one that writes your future.

The only two things in life you can control are your effort and your attitude. Everything else is not up to you.
