3 flights today to get to Calgary. All with Starlink, so not missing a thing.

Demo-ing a new dump truck at a mine in the mountains. Lots of standing around, but nice eye candy.

Had to go there in February one year. Leave Houston in the 60s, land in Calgary at -30. 90 degree swing in a few hours not sure what the wind chill was.

Cool city though.

I live in Duluth, MN. Has to be pretty damn cold to get my attention these days.

Good coat, hat, boots, and gloves and you barely notice.

Somebody wants to buy a 2-comma piece of equipment (and several more once it proves out), I don’t get picky on venue or timing.

Are you buying or selling?

You’ve been streaming the ESPN app on airplanes since 2008?

No, but I don’t think Elon Musk is responsible for the ESPN app lmao

ETA: This went over some heads… as soon as streaming in the ESPN app existed, you could stream it on airplanes.

The ability to stream on planes predates the ESPN app. Google is free.

Good lord. You’re either the dumbest poster here, or incredibly disingenuous about the actual point being made.

The various apps have been around for a while. You were not streaming them on a plane before Starlink.

But, go off on how you have been the cool guy for 20 years.

You are selling so are you meeting a customer at a 3rd parties site so they can see how someone else uses it? I’m trying to figure out why you are demo-ing something off site?

+1... though I notice 9 Chinese Communist sympathizers have already downvoted you.

Funny, how he was their hero until about 2-3 years ago.

Every one of them wanted to blow him - especially the beta-males, who are downvoting now. But I prefer when they show themselves; I know who to leave off the Christmas invitation list.

ETA: Sorry, this read like I was on the pRant (which is where I thought I was). Grace to SEC football.

Probably so complex it takes a fleet of rocket scientists to get it to move.
