  1. Investors tell Tesla BOD to require Muskkk works at least 40 hours a week https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/28/tesla-investors-demand-musk-work-40-hour-week-at-ev-maker-amid-crisis.html ..
  2. If anyone wants to read the full article here's a no pw link https://archive.is/wegTc It's pretty much the epitome of NYT's he said/she said reporting but still interesting.
  3. Guy goes to work for DOGE. Gets assigned to the VA. Discovers the VA isn't inefficient like he thought, in fact, it's doing pretty well. Speaks to a reporter about his experience, cites real examples of how much the VA is doing. Gets fired.
  4. The depravity is a feature, not a bug.
  5. May 23 May 28 I have very negative opinions about the whole thing but this is still funny.
  6. Lots of wealthy, white families with small kids about to feel the pain of the administration trying to resolve the Great Au Pair Crime Spree.
  7. Saw a stat the other day that only 20% of the world's population had flown in an airline.
  8. Watched ep 1 the other day. The fact that the entire premise of the show rests on Hamm's failure to hire a lawyer to negotiate his exit agreement is off-putting.
  9. Very good show. Reminds me of Monk but more accessible. I, Jack Wright is an excellent new show on Britbox, too. There's so much to watch on that streamer. Up until the pandemic I didn't really care for British tv but between the pandemic and the severe decline in quality on netflix and hbo -- and almost total loss of shows on other US cable networks -- it's totally changed my opinion and viewing habits. I think @abuelo gringostarted a thread a few years back about British shows, if I'm not mistaken. I searched a couple months ago but couldn't find it.
  10. *this post has nothing to do with Brian Fantana. Though I hope he gets the mental assistance he requires.
  11. Same. I think it came up in another thread. It took me, as I recall, four in-person bank visits at least. We had a rental and an address we lived at. If you've opened an account at a new bank in the US lately even that's an agonizing hour of paper work, even if you're a citizen.
  12. jesus, dude, I thought maybe you'd sleep it off...you started it with an attack. If you are able to handle counterpoints or debate then maybe just stick with facts instead of insinuating that someone can't read.
  13. tsdr I think you should spend more time penning love letters to Shotwell. aww - you think everything I've posted was a post in response to you. Ego much, dipshit?
  14. 9 test flights 0 successful missions They haven't even tried launching with anything close to a full payload yet Successfully created euphemism for the catastrophic explosion and disintegration of their spacecraft $38 Billion taxpayer funds down the drain, and counting Fantana, are you illiterate? Are you the dude who was trying to get Shotwell to suck your dick?
  15. I have no idea why you'd make that strange accusation. Oh well. So close! (Right?) I'm sure the problems were very minor and they'll get 'em next time /s and lol at Reuters use of "speedy" for a project overdue and over-budget. edit - link https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/spacexs-starship-spins-out-of-control-after-flying-past-points-of-previous-failures/ar-AA1FBSAu and wth, for good measure
  16. I don't think you can call failing to achieve orbit and then blowing up a minor problem, sir.
  17. He said he'd be on "the next one to the moon." Which means never because 1. You can't be on the next one if there's never been a first one 2. Even still, there will never be a first one. 3. He's a liar. 4.
  18. Starship development sounds a lot like the cyberpanzer - this was published 6 days ago https://archive.is/EWE1n the tldr -
  19. Another Musk failure. The only thing that changes is his excuses.
  20. Overall EV sales in Europe are up by 33% year over year (for April). Tesla sales in Europe are down by 49% in the same period. Tesla sold just 7,261 vehicles in Europe in all of April 2025. https://electrek.co/2025/05/27/tesla-tsla-keeps-getting-worse-in-europe-despite-electric-car-sales-surging/
  21. Anyone have a non-paywalled version of the runners-up?
  22. Saw this in a Liverpool photo from yesterday
  23. I think many Brits will be more simpatico with Americans than you expect given how the far right has fucked up their own country.
