SIAP https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cybertruck-revamp-working-man-f-150-2025-4 How Tesla is quietly rebranding the Cybertruck When Tesla launched the Cybertruck in 2023, it was the product of four years of hype. The boxy electric pickup was the company's first new model since 2020. Kim Kardashian, Pharrell Williams, and Justin Bieber were spotted riding around in it. With a million people on the truck's reservation list and a $120,000 price tag, it quickly became a status symbol. Less than two years later, the waitlist has disappeared. Trucks are piling up in sales lots. Fewer than 50,000 vehicles have been delivered. Some owners have become political targets thanks to CEO Elon Musk's association with President Donald Trump. Enter a quiet rebrand. Over the past few months, Tesla has moved to position the Cybertruck as a working man's vehicle — less DeLorean, more Ford F-150. The company updated its website, ditching an other-worldly aesthetic for images that feature the truck hauling equipment and an Airstream trailer. And sales workers at the company told Business Insider it's become increasingly difficult to move the truck off sales lots. The vehicle, they said, needs to appeal to the traditional truck buyer. "Pitching it to truck people is more about the functionality," said one salesperson who works in the South. "They want to know how much it can tow, how much can fit in the truck bed." ——— Tesla has sold less than 50,000 Cybertrucks. Last year, Ford sold 765,000 F-series, and in 2023 they sold 750,000.
  3. My thoughts are that the idea itself has us romanticizing gorillas. He’s strong with formidable teeth and hands, but he’s not King Kong. He’s 400 pounds. With 100 disposable men, they rush him and simply overtake him with force and weight. Couple guys on each arm, leg, etc. And then choke him out. Night night little monkey.
  4. I’m 50 and saw myself in every single one of those characters.
  5. Was there a tent involved?

    i have to say, i find it incredibly fascinating that most of the music that jimmy throws out there that i have never heard of but sometimes dig always in some way takes me back to his favorite band of all time...garbage. i think a psychologist could have a real field day with that one...
  8. Yeah, but Eanes lost a good school-board member to a lunatic MAGAt. Now, in fairness, the MAGAt did a real good job of hiding her lunacy. And Eanes is having to deal with a real tough budget situation, which has pissed off a lot of people who are not accustomed to being told that they can't have everything they want. So it was a little bit predictable. But still--it's disconcerting.
  9. Well, hell. Thanks.
  10. No, every cow has to have one. Like someone upthread mentioned, I wanted to draw fences and divide a very large pasture into smaller ones for rotational grazing. If I remember correctly the model I liked was $300/collar plus a $50 subscription fee per year per collar.
  11. My eyes almost popped out of my head looking at those. Those are INSANE!!!
  12. Brad Townsend is as fine a sportswriter as I've ever run across. And an all-around great guy. That was tough. He was clearly nowhere near healing enough to get back on the sideline. A guy I used to work with at the Express News covers a lot of Spurs stuff for AP still. He apparently suggested to Spurs staff they should sell that "El Jefe" t-shirt and they said they might. I'd buy one.

  14. Nursing Student Killed in Roommate Cat Dispute May 5, 2025 by David Jones A Texas nursing student, just days away from her graduation, was tragically killed in a dispute over pets with her roommate, according to law enforcement officials. Chester Lamar Grant, 40, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of Tamilore Odunsi, a 23-year-old originally from the U.K., on April 26 in Houston. Police were called to an apartment on the south side of the city for a welfare check in the late afternoon. Upon arrival, they received no response at the front door. A subsequent search of the premises led them to the back of the apartment where they discovered blood on the concrete patio. Upon entering the apartment, officers found Odunsi in the kitchen, suffering from multiple stab wounds. Grant was also located in the bedroom, with at least one stab wound. Odunsi was pronounced dead at the scene, while Grant was transported to the hospital with critical injuries. Local law enforcement informed CBS affiliate KHOU that the pair had been living together for a few months and had been arguing over their cats. The disagreement escalated, resulting in Grant allegedly stabbing Odunsi and then attempting to take his own life. Grant was later transported to the Harris County Jail and is currently being held on a $500,000 bond. Odunsi’s family has set up a GoFundMe account in her memory. Known as Tami Dollars or TD on TikTok, Odunsi was described as a “beautiful soul, full of light, ambition, and kindness.” A devout Christian, she was actively involved in her church community and was known for her service to others. Odunsi had aspirations of becoming a nurse and had a particular interest in working with children. Her family expressed their grief over her untimely death, describing it as “an unimaginable loss at a moment that should have marked the beginning of a bright and promising future.” Grant is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Monday.
  15. Goddammit you mean drill baby drill doesn’t actually work and these companies can just slow their production?! I feel bamboozled!
  16. It’s making a lot of rich donors even richer, so it’s “winning” for them.
  17. If it's flouride mouthwash. If it's e.g. Listerine, then floss, mouthwash, brush.
  18. Tell me you know nothing about the movie industry without telling me you know nothing. Hell what does this even apply to? Filmed in Tunisia, Guatemala, UK, Mexico, just to name a few Empire was filmed in Norway Titanic was filmed in the "North Atlantic" for many scenes. Think of all the Harry Potter films. This just makes no sense, which is really par for the course for these tariffs.
  19. And yeah, I wouldn't use a shock collar as an e-fence. I just want to know where my guy is so we can go get him before the coyotes come out to hunt.

    Man that takes me back to the 90s.
  21. The dog/cat versions I've got are $50, plus a monthly sub to pay for the wireless. There are pay once models, but those start at $150. Don't you have to worry only about a couple of cows to cover the herd, tho?
