Running on empty isn't just a metaphor, it is a way of life. This phrase is often used to describe being exhausted and drained of energy, both physically and emotionally. But, 'Running on empty isn't just a metaphor, it is a way of life' speaks to something much deeper. It implies that many of us are constantly going, going, going, never truly taking the time to rest and recharge.

We expend so much energy, often running on fumes, with little effort or attention devoted to filling back up our empty tanks.

Ah, I finally made it....! What an sad affair #Twitter has become! It was never a crown-jewel of online behavior but at least a large part of the content was fact based and if there was a problem ones would eventually get supports under jack. Now, with the billionaire man-baby owner all goes downhill. There is a reason while the platform is now valued about 16 billion $'s while he purchased it for 44 billion. Genius much..... I can not login anymore since about 2 days after I made the prior post here and shared it . Coincidence??

I still have my Twitter you can visit by clicking here, I still tweet and re-tweet there, however mainly I moved on as since taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has hardly been shy about his charm offensive with the online right. He’s publicly forged relationships with countless "conservative" power users, who have eaten up his anti-media crusade; his failed verification profit scheme and planned charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet and retweet are also a turn-off. After about 1 year of chaos, the billionaire is passing the baton to someone who could help steer the company out of financial ruin - but doom Musk’s reputation as a right-wing hero. His promotion of well known fake-information spreading accounts (he took down that promo tweet after general uproar) during the current Israel-Gaza crisis did not help by any means to re-establish any trust in his platform.I've got pretty decent digital literacy. Yet I have absolutely no idea what's true or false on this X platform anymore. #Elmo made it utterly unusable.

Just a quick hello and life-sign with a short morning shot from my deck. It is every time like a new miracle to see the day awaken and the sun rise. Since I'm in process to reduce my #Twitter time (not that I'm on there THAT much) due to the changes made by the new owner, the world richest man-baby that morphs in front of the whole world into a Nazi and fascist lover allowing his platform to become an even deeper toxic cesspool as it was before

As alternative - not that it is less of an ethical challenge - you can find my opinion at the Puro Tom Channel here....

Designed for full-size electric trucks, the STLA frame platform is brimming with possibilities. To provide space for the large battery the wheelbase is 4 inches longer than the 2023 Ram 1500—resulting in extra cabin space and enhanced comfort for passengers.

Full underbody aero panels and an active diffuser in the rear help reduce aerodynamic drag and improve battery range. And with the future of electric trucks yet to be defined, we’re charging ahead with the Ram Revolution Concept.

Built by truck people for truck people, this electric truck sets the stage for our next-generation lineup.

On 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine in a steep escalation of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. The campaign had been preceded by a Russian military buildup since early 2021, and numerous Russian demands for security measures and legal prohibitions against Ukraine joining NATO. Putin announced his moronesque decision to launch a "special military operation" in eastern Ukraine. Putin also stated that Russia sought the "demilitarisation and denazification" of Ukraine.

At 10. September 2022 as part of a major counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces recaptured Kupiansk and Izium; according to UK Ministry of Defense, Russian defenses in the Kharkiv region were “likely taken by surprise". Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said that Ukraine has recaptured 2,000 square kilometers (770 sq mi) since the start of the counteroffensive.

The following statement addressing Russians and Russian leadership was made by president Zelenskyy at his daily broadcast to the nation. "Do you still think we are one people? Do you still think you can scare us, break us, force us to make concessions? Don't you really get it? Don't you understand who we are? What we stand for? What we are all about?

Read my lips: Without gas or without you? - Without you! Without light or without you? - Without you! Without water or without you? - Without you! Cold, hunger, darkness and thirst are not as frightening and deadly for us as your "friendship" and "brotherhood". But history will put everything in it's place. And we will be with gas, light, water and food and WITHOUT you!"

I consumed this movie as well - Not much to write home about after doing so. Zack Snyder's Justice League, often referred to as the "Snyder Cut", is the 2021 director's cut of the 2017 American superhero film Justice League. It presents Justice League—the fifth film of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), the sequel to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), based on the DC Comics team Justice League—as director Zack Snyder intended it before he left the production.

Fifty years ago, Dodge commissioned Creative Industries to build the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona as a homologation special to satisfy NASCAR rules. The extraterrestrial-looking coupe conquered at the race track, broke records, and frightened any onlooker possessed of a weak constitution; it's claimed that even the carmaker's general manager at the time, Bob McCurry, considered the Charger Daytona the ugliest car he'd ever laid eyes on. Time having worked its magic, Dodge is celebrating the now-iconic Winged Warrior with the 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition.

The new model goes without a nose cone and vertical stabilizers, but it does loose 717 horsepower from its 6.2-liter supercharged V8, which is 10 more than the standard car.

What more could you possibly want out of the Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4²? Straight from the factory, it's packing huge 37-inch tires, high-clearance portal axles, and 16 more inches of ground clearance on top of what you get in a regular G-wagen.

But if you're German tuning house Brabus, there's no such thing as "enough." Witness the Brabus 550 Adventure 4x4², upgraded to be, somehow, even more ridiculous and off-road-awesome. The folks at Brabus looked at the G550 4x4² and said, "eh, could use more." So the tuning firm slapped bigger twin turbos on the 4.0-liter V8 for more power - 542 horses, up from the stock 415, along with a 140-lb-ft increase to 590 lb-ft of torque.
