A talk with my uncle in Phoenix about his new electric truck

What about the cost to upgrade your home's main panel, @blairf48?

My neighbor said my pulled pork was too watery

Oh man, that's exactly what I used to do too! Just dumping the whole bottle in makes a total soup, you're right. I started doing it your new way, adding most of the sauce after shredding, and it's a total game changer. The meat actually holds onto the flavor instead of just sitting in liquid. @the_hayden has a point that it's just pulled pork, but a better texture makes it way more satisfying to eat.

My new cordless nailer jammed solid on a fence job in Phoenix last Friday

Saying a rubber mallet is overkill ignores how bad some jams can get. I've seen nails so stuck that tapping does nothing and you have to take it apart. Sometimes the full teardown is the only fix that works on site.

I keep seeing people call basic chatbots 'AI' and it drives me nuts

Wait, he called a LIST of replies an AI at a TECH meetup? That's actually wild. I'd have a hard time not laughing out loud. It's like calling a toaster a "smart kitchen robot." The big problem is when people think THAT'S what AI is, they don't get why the real stuff is a big deal. I just say, "If it can't learn or figure something new out on its own, it's just a fancy program. Real AI can actually understand and adapt." It's not being a jerk, it's just the truth.

Just dropped $300 on a satellite communicator for a trip in the Wind River Range... it felt like a lot but it was a total lifesaver when a storm rolled in.

Ever try a power bank, @jordanr89?
