Except for a UAW uncle, my family was Hoosier Republican. That didn't stop me from reading Marx at age 10. Retired from high tech consulting.
Estimated Cybertruck sales by model year. Looks like those who wanted one bought it right away.
What if it falls another 50 percent? Do Elon Musk's fan boys get upset?
Year-2 sales of the Ford Ranchero and Slate truck will be the test of a revised market. E.g., Ford Mustang sales grew dramatically the first 3 years, marking the creation of a new type of small coupe for a 2-car-family society. (Sales dropped as the Camaro & other small coupes appeared in 1966/7.)
Ivory Coast orange is fine. My daughter the keeper would have worn the Ivory Coast yellow goalkeeper jersey.
FDR found time to spend with his warrior buddies 2 months before his death. Can we get a team photo with DJT, Bibi, and Putin soon?

Wes O'Donnell takes on the whining defense analysts who blame the US munitions shortfalls on support to Ukraine. (members only) wesodonnell.medium.com/ukraine-didn...
As a 3yo, I lived in Hammond. Thanks to the local chemical/steel industries, the sky was a different color everyday. After they went out of business, it looked like scenes from the raid in The Fugitive. But there is a South Shore Electric Railway station:
These signs are readily available on the web as needed (though not in gold):
Will Lockett reports that AI is proving to be more costly than human staffing. With the reductions in subsidies (somebody has to make a profit sometime), the AI cost differential will likely increase.
What a bunch of whiny little boys. (During the Feb. 1945 Yalta Conference, FDR was terminally ill with severe hypertension, congestive heart failure, & acute bronchitis. Yet he found a ship and met with the disgusting Stalin one last time. FDR died of a cerebral hemorrhage just 2 months later.)
I thought about my child making fun of Clippy when he was 8. Who would take advice from a paperclip, he asked?
Why would MAGA believe that Iranians faked the death of 180 school children?
The bad news: What little melting is occurring on the mounts left on Baltimore side streets is collecting in the gutters as ice streams and ponds.
Baltimore: The good news about the sidewalks is that if you removed the snowcrete before it hardened, there's been no melting, and the paths remain clear.
I tried to convince my cat she couldn't use her litter box until the ice on the streets to the pet store get cleared in mid-February.
Will Lockett explains how all the revenue streams available to OpenAI--even if fully exploited--cannot save it from bankruptcy in the next 2 years. When it goes down, it takes the economy with it. wlockett.medium.com/openai-is-he... My favorite quote:
For you youngsters, Iraqi Dictator Saddam Hussain hired a former diplomat nicknamed 'Baghdad Bob' who would announce good news about the regime even as it was having its ass handed to it during the second Iraqi War. It's what authoritarian regimes do.
Boxing Day: I built my cat a maze of shipping boxes. She had no interest in my gíft. She's a bag girl.
