Major fallout in Europe has already started. According to Reuters, February vehicle sales numbers are out for the continent. Things are not looking pretty for Tesla. Below is a quote from the article: Tesla's battery-electric vehicle (BEV) registrations in 25 European Union markets, the UK, Norway and Switzerland fell on average by 44% from the same month of 2024, to under 16,000 cars sold in February. Its market share in the month fell to 9.6%, the lowest February reading in the last five years.

Yea…Tesla seems late to the game on driverless vehicles. I was just in Phoenix and there are Waymo driverless taxis everywhere.

I don’t see Tesla stock being a good buy. This could be a problematic brand for some time to come…if it survives at all. Penetration in foreign markets is going to decrease rather than increase for the foreseeable future. In my trips to Toronto/Montreal last year, many of the Ubers I took were Tesla vehicles. That is sure to decline now. I’m sure the same will happen in most other international markets. At least 50% of potential US buyers won’t touch Tesla even if they were interested in purchasing an electric vehicle. In summary, the future does not look bright for Tesla.

Yeah she was hilarious. She's a lesbian so the crowd is about 75% gay women/men. Lot's of fun. I recommend going to see her. BTW, The Orpheum is beautiful!

I’m just coming out of Cruisin’ 7th bar in Phoenix where they have Wild Men of the West guys dancing in the bar starting at 4:30pm sharp. There were 5 guys… 4 x latinos and 1 x white guy. All between the approx ages of 25-35. All in either a jockstrap or something similar. The place was too packed for me. One of the guys was quite hot. I’m not sure if they have a private dance area there but I would have considered having a lap dance with him. I could only spend an hour there before leaving. I’m seeing Jessica Kirson in town tonight so it was a short visit at Cruisin’. Anyway, I would recommend Cruisin’7th on a Saturday afternoon to see the eye candy gogos. Does anyone know if they have a private dance area there?

I was at Johnson’s Wilton Manors last week on three different nights. There was definitely one guy on stage that was using a dildo-like thing in his shorts. I was told by other dancers that there are 2-3 guys that do the “dildo” trick. I’m told some customers that go into the back room with these guys never realize it. However, other customers come out feeling duped when they realize it was fake. Why does Johnson’s even allow this? I just stay clear of the “fakes”. I had a great time all three nights. No huge muscle (I was there only on weeknights) but good nonetheless. One notable guy was a 24yr old new Argentine dancer. Muscular with dirty blonde hair and fair skin. I forget his name…but he was so handsome…in a masculine way. The other dancers kept referring to him as “Ken” cause he was so strikingly handsome. He spoke very little English but that was no problem as I speak Spanish.

This topic of some gay men seeking straight male escorts comes up from time to time here. It always ends the same way with a group of flag-waving gays insisting that the guys who partake in this hobby must be self-loathing sad homosexuals to be hunting down straight guys for hire. The mindset that if you are gay you must be attracted to gay guys or something is wrong with you. Folks are way too over-analytical and stay-in-your-lane-ish. I'm attracted to authentic masculinity...I always have been. That frequently (but not exclusively) leads me down the path to being attracted to straight guys. I have no choice in the matter as this is how I'm wired. I have zero interest in fem gay men no matter how handsome they may be. And no, I am not saying all gay men are fem. Currently, I find the best setting for finding what I like is in male strip clubs. There is no way to judge masculinity when looking through escort options on Rentmen so that vehicle really doesn't work for me. The stripclub format provides the ability to see the product and kick the tires so to speak. I'll know within one minute if the guy meets my masculinity threshold. The other setting that works well are the rentboy saunas in Brazil and elsewhere. Same concept because you're seeing the prospect up close and personal. No amount of flipping through profiles on Rentmen can match an in-person conversation with a potential hire. So....no....I don't hate myself and no....I don't hate being gay (on the contrary, I can't imagine not being gay). It is what it is. Kinda like some people like chocolate and some people like vanilla. Live and let live people.

Perhaps but Italian noodles are generally bigger and better than Thai noodles🙃.

It’s happened again. A Delta Connection aircraft from MSP has crash landed in Toronto. It came to rest upside down but the fuselage looks mostly intact. Hope everyone got out. Emergency teams respond to Delta plane crash at Toronto Pearson Airport | CNN WWW.CNN.COM A Delta Air Lines commuter plane arriving from Minneapolis has crashed at Canada’s Toronto Pearson Airport...

I concur with your view.

Brightline train crashes with a fire truck in Delray Beach FL. Thankfully, it doesn't look too bad. 3 firefighters and 12 passengers injured in train collision with fire truck on emergency call in Florida | CNN WWW.CNN.COM Three firefighters and 12 passengers were injured when a train collided with a fire truck on an emergency call Saturday morning in Delray Beach, Florida, authorities said.

Im confident they will catch this guy. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have already identified him. It’s just a matter of days now I would think.

Who knew Pink had such a handsome brother? Not sure where they are. California wine country?

It feels like 2016 all over again. Not at all what I expected. Stay calm and carry on.

Shawn's appearance, speaking voice, and mannerisms always seemed "gay" to me. I'm not surprised in the least.

I did mention Argentina several times but not for sexcation because the options are limited. Uruguay was a paradise for a very specific kind of paid sex experience up until about 10 years ago. It came to an end...so I would not consider a sexcation there.

I totally agree. I would have turned the car around and gone home as soon as he sent that picture. That's just nuts.

I consider Grindr to be a colossal waste of time...for me at least. Unless you're in your 20's/30's and in perfect physical condition, you're likely spinning your wheels spending any time on Grindr. So many fakes/bots/flakes/scammers. For non-paid hook-ups, I'm actually finding squirt.org much more useful.

It would be helpful if you could be more specific about what you are looking for during your visit. Since you specify "spanish-speaking" I will leave Brazil out of my responses: * Sexcation: Mexico, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Cuba * Tourism/History: Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Argentina * Ecoturism: Costa Rica * Food Tourism: Argentina, Peru, Mexico * Beaches: Mexico, Dominican Republic Enjoy!

Johnson's Tampa Facebook page says they will re-open tomorrow (Friday).

I guess I don't get the major attraction to this guy. He is OK looking but not really handsome. I personally wouldn't spend much time trying to chase him down and play his games on the off-chance I might score a session with him. So many fish in the pond. Why waste time on an average-looking player? Anyway, I know attraction is in the eye of the beholder...so best of luck to the OP.

Johnson's Tampa posted on Facebook that they would be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday...and that they would provide further information after the hurricane. I have seen no reports from The FTL location. It should be less affected by Milton than the Tampa location.

Two back-to-back major hurricanes (will) hit Florida (Helene & Milton) in the last few weeks. It astounds me anyone would still consider voluntarily moving to that state and take on the risk of property loss. Already high insurance rates are about to explode higher I'm sure. How can any of this end well for the state?

The DIA is an excellent museum…much better than you’d expect from Detroit. I also had field trips there as a child…and then returned as an adult. My most recent visit was maybe 18 months ago for a Van Gogh exhibit. The DIA has multiple Van Gogh works in its permanent collection. To that, they added many other Van Gogh masterpieces to create a substantial temporary exhibit. People traveled from all over the world to see this exhibit that had so many Van Gogh works in one place. And yes, the Rivera fresco is stunning.

To qualify for Medicaid, you have to have very low income and/or very limited financial assets. Based on the OP's opening comments, it seems like he would not qualify. Assuming I am correct on that, he will be looking for coverage options via his state's open insurance market or through the Healthcare Marketplace.
