Save the prayers. You were balls-deep in someone elseโ€™s wife while your own was pregnant. Jesus ainโ€™t your PR team.

I loved that though exercise. Add in 5-7 years if they need to build any factories.

Unless Trump annexes Taiwan as the 53rd state, there's no way of getting past the tariffs on silicon parts. I'm guess that Beijing would be somewhat less than OK with that happening.

โ€œMr. Musk, weโ€™ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that Google searches for โ€˜nearest Tesla showroomโ€™ are at an all-time high.โ€

This is not the first problem we have had with Enterprise in the last week. Did they suddenly run out of cars?

I think I'm done with being a customer for Enterprise. I needed a one-way rental (2 hour drive) to an airport. After calling and booking over the phone I booked my flight and then looked at the email. He swapped the start and destination locations. I called back, no cars are available.

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals arenโ€™t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Dear Manager,

1. I drank a whiskey drink.
2. I drank a vodka drink.
3. I drank a lager drink.
4. I drank a cider drink.
5. I sang the songs that remind me of the good times; I sang the songs that remind me of the better times.

I'm on the fence about cancelling my subscription. What Bezos did is horrible, but I don't read the WaPo for the opinions, I read it for the articles. Same as for the NY Times.

I live in the US and I don't want to fly for the Summit thanks to the White House firing FAA staff.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

A week later... Both 980 Pro's had the firmware of death. I used Samsung's app and updated the firmware of the good one. The dead one stayed dead and Samsung sent a new 990 Pro as a warranty replacement. I've formated that one as a Windows Dev Drive.

And the affected drive was a Samsung 980 Pro. Which appears to have had an issue that Samsung had fixed with a firmware update. After I recover the nuke partition, I guess I'm doing some firmware updates.

Hours later... a new boot drive has been installed installed with a nice clean OS... Accidentally nuking the partition of my data drive did not help things. One step forward, two steps back.

Musk's statement is as valid as stating a word document will weigh more if you use larger font sizes over smaller ones.
