I saw my first Cybertruck in the wild. I was surprised at how much I strongly and instantly disliked it and whomever owned it.

We saw one this past weekend. The kids found it amusing.
We saw our first at a bar outside the ski area at Mammoth Mountain the day of the Super Bowl. I've only seen a couple others actively in use, but I drive by a Tesla dealership on my daily commute that always has 8-10 lined up outside. They still look shockingly out of place wherever they are.
I've only seen one. It was somewhere in New York as we were driving upstate for the eclipse so I didn't get a good look to properly pan it.
That's hilarious, Rhu.
We have one here in my town, which very much Pickup Country. I find myself caught between revulsion and laugh-and-point.
A modern Wagon Queen!
As much as I hate the design, which is far from original, it has some things I'd like to know more about, like the adaptive air suspension that adjusts ride height and road clearance. But I don't see many guys in the "compensation" buyer segment being real attracted to it.
It's almost like that company could do some great things, but some idiot is pushing it way off course.
Heh, saw one up close today waiting to get into the Hawthorne ramp before the game. What a butt fugly vehicle.
Should anyone want to hear my retirement speech at United Methodist Annual Conference, you can find it here. However, it's at the end of a very long video. My bit starts about 11 hours and 25 minutes in.
Make that 11:24:33 on the nose. The jacket is a very nice touch, parson.
Very nice remarks, Pastor. ❤️
I especially liked the part when he finished, raised his fists, and yelled “THE WGOM RUUUUUULLLLLLEEEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!”
I think that's what he was saying when he said, "Don't. Stop. Don't. Stop. Don't Stop. Don't stop." 🤣
Thanks, guys. I've worn the jacket to several conferences now, because it's always cold in the meeting rooms. Some people probably wouldn't recognize me without it.
Nice Dr. Who reference.
Thank you.

On the grill tonight: my first attempt at kimchi pork burgers. Turned out great.
I had about 1.7 lbs of ground pork. Mixed with
1 rounded tbsp gochujang
1 tbsp hoisin
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 green onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
2 Thai bird Chiles, finely chopped
1/2 tsp szechuan Chile flakes (because I didn't have gochugaru)
A few grinds of black pepper
1/2 cup kimchi, chopped
Mix all of the ingredients except the pork, then mix in the pork. Let rest for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. Prep grill. Form meat into patties. Made 5 hefty patties. Cook on a hot grill, turning twice, until patties are nearly done. Top with your choice of cheese and grill until cheese is melted. Remove to a plate. Toast buns. Smear top bun with mayo, then add a healthy scoop of kimchi. Enjoy.
You can make these as spicy or mild as you like. I had intended to top with sliced, fresh jalapenos too, but forgot. The sugar and hoisin help with developing nice charring. Ground pork is way cheaper than ground beef, and very tasty.
The wife would love this. The kids not so much.
You could probably do a kid-friendlier version without the kimchi and spice. Garlic, ginger, green onion, hoisin, soy, sesame oil.
Would be good with pickled carrot and daikon and some cilantro as toppers. More bahn mi-stylings than Korean then. But good.
About what I was thinking, and add in the rest of the ingredients to mine.
I would love this, wife and kids not so much. I may need to try this for myself, and make them more bland versions instead.
I saw my first cyber truck on the tenth! I told my coworker I had no idea how you could drive something that you know literally everyone else on the road is laughing at.
