Summon Done Right (This Time 🤪) Cristina Pineda 2024-04-21 | My first time summoning the Tesla was bonkers. So, we decided to try the Summon feature in our Tesla App once more, and discovered settings inside the car regarding Summon mode. We opted for keeping our finger on the Summon button while the car drives to us. I kept my finger on there, unlike in the first video, and it works like a charm. Looking forward to trying in a more populated parking lot like Target in Hilo.

Governor Josh Greens Controversial Gesture Towards Jill Biden @Press Conference Lahaina, Maui, HI Cristina Pineda 2023-08-24 | Donate to Maui Strong: hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/strengthening/maui-strong-fundDonate to Maui Humane Society:mauihumanesociety.org/donate-olxA moment of controversy that was missed apparently, arose during a press conference on Monday, August 21, 2023, in Lahaina, as Governor Josh Green appeared to make an uncomfortable gesture towards Jill Biden. While seeming to console Mrs. Biden, Green touched her lapel, directly on/above her breast, brushing away something that wasn't there, leaving her visibly uncomfortable. The Bidens visited Lahaina, a town devastated by fire, where over 1,000 people were displaced and lost their lives. Why this incident hasn’t raised questions and sparked debate is beyond me. #GovernorJoshGreen #JillBiden #LahainaFire #PressConference #Controversy #metoo #Maui #Hawaii #UncomfortableMoment

Unboxing Vindulges Red Wine 🍷 BBQ 🍗 Sauce: The Ultimate Burger Finale Cristina Pineda 2023-08-05 | Dare to step beyond ordinary with Vindulge's Red Wine BBQ Sauce. This is far from your run-of-the-mill BBQ sauce. Its flawless symphony of flavors sets a new standard, making it hands-down the best BBQ sauce I've ever tasted. It infuses a smoky essence, just the right tang, and a subtle sweetness, but it's the standout addition of red wine that catapults this sauce into a league of its own. The lingering notes of clove and allspice add a sophisticated touch to the aftertaste, intriguing the palate with every bite. Its versatility shines through - whether drizzled over burgers, swirled into pizza, slathered on pork or chicken, or simply used as a gourmet dipping sauce, the result is always mouthwateringly delicious. A standing ovation for Sean and Mary - you've truly outdone yourselves!
