  1. While BMI is a bad measure for someone who hits the gym frequently, there are still plenty of gym rats who could lower their body fat percentage for health reasons. Visceral fat, around your internal organs, is bad for someone regardless how much they bench.
  2. Disagree. I agree that some may be in this situation but anyone with decent morals is questioning their ownership of a Tesla today.
  3. I literally watched a comic book movie recently where the over-the-top, evil leader rallied his troops with promising that they would get everything they ever wanted. there are paths where Elon becomes a Bond villain and some would argue he’s already there. He sees himself as the victim so any response is justified.
  4. Shows that create a mystery always have an easier time of creating the mystery and the resolution is rarely as satisfying. However the show can still be great overall. im amazed how much severance has taken off. I loved S1 in real time as it was released and was worried it would quietly die.
  5. Jame doesn’t want to flip Helly back to Helena. He hates Helena. He sees Helly as the natural fit to be the next leader of Lumon. I could see that being a plot for the next season where innie Mark and Helly are kept for that purpose. Then you have the people on the outside trying to save Mark. I don’t know where Dylan fits into it.
  6. If I had a <fill-in-the-blank> car and a Tesla in my garage, I would only choose to park my non-Tesla in public. Exceptions being at a friend's house or my company parking lot/garage. A valet is most likely safe if the car is out front. An innocent Tesla owner may say why me but the same behavior would occur if you owned a Japanese car in Detroit in the 70s or 80s. In both cases you are driving the symbol of what is harming people, even if you have nothing to do with it. If I'm not mistaken Tesla have a couple of cameras around them. I would have to guess that Tesla engineers are hard at work to help police identify who might be vandalizing the cars.
  7. Sweet. They allow you to spread payments over 36 months for rates between 8 and 34%. My Chipotle lunch today will be paid off by 2028.
  8. My company offers the ability to save up to $10K in after tax dollars in a Roth 401k, above and beyond other 401k savings. I don't know how common that is. The funding comes out of my paycheck for as much or little as I want up to that $10K.
  9. AI can be a great diagnostic tool but the value is dependent on the training method. If you use peer reviewed data from actual doctors and researchers, then it's a game changer for medicine. Especially in the identification of rare diseases and conditions. If you train the model with TwitterX posts, you're probably going to die. As for this case, I would question a physician who has failed to treat a patient for years but eventually asked AI Elon for help.
  10. That's the only fair thing to do since he's so unselfishly firing govt workers and diminishing govt services.
  11. I could see a govt official indicating that an american product is safe to purchase but advocating to purchase a stock? but what to expect from someone who pretty much was laughed at on wall st.
  12. Tesla booted from the Vancouver auto show due to safety concerns. Tesla was asked to withdraw and when they refused/ignored the request, the auto show kicked them out. https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/tesla-removed-as-participant-in-2025-vancouver-international-auto-show-10394725 My guess is that we will hear about this from Trump today and he will find some way to reciprocate this action.
  13. Look into the theraband flex bar. Basically a thick tube of rubber. Outside of it looking like a sex toy, it's great to use for therapy for elbow problems, golf or tennis. You hold it in both hands ant twist one wrist at a time. It warms up the arm muscles which appears to offload some stress from the elbow. In my experience with both golf and tennis elbow, nothing helps as much as time. No one wants to hear it but it may be better for long term.
  14. Dan Patrick knows what's best for everyone. And he doesn't need to ask the Texas public for their opinions.
  15. Twitter reminds me of Hornsfans. Say something not positive about the owners and they would give you a temp or perm ban. <Insert flashing letter icon.>
  16. Isn’t the cyber truck only assembled in the Austin factory? Someone here must work for Tesla or know someone who does. What are the production numbers like now?
  17. I like the idea of a different Dylan showing up but that will be more unsettling to Mark and Helly. Perhaps Drummond does that with Milcheck not being consulted.
  18. Cedrek has an odd website for a surgeon but perhaps he is more interested in being a media personality. https://cedrekmd.com/.
  19. If someway, somehow Canada started going down the path to being annexed, I would bet any amount that Trump would slightly change his tune. He would start to refer to Canada as a future American territory without voting power. Same with Greenland. No chance they would get statehood even if their citizens wanted to become a state. Most of his offhand comments are sourced by what he reads on Truth Social
  20. I hate to think that race comes into play but it made no sense that Cedrek voted to keep Sai. Cedrek flat out said that he bonded the most with Justin and they had a plan for an alliance to the end. For Justin, the mistake he made was choosing Cedrek for that alliance. It would suck to finally get on survivor and just sit there powerless and be voted out by your best friend on the show. Of course Justin could have pointed out more of Sai's (obvious) flaws but he seems like too good of a person for that. I'm looking forward to Sai voting out Cedrek, hopefully this week.
  21. they're just on a tear to eliminate whatever they can regardless of the consequences.
  22. How exactly would the average voter be able to prove their citizenship status? And realize that Trump is fighting to remove birthright citizenship. If that occurs, then showing up with a certified birth certificate means nothing other than you were born here. And just saying your parents were citizens, and therefore confers citizenship on you, may not be enough. Whos to say that your parents were citizens or their parents?
  23. An 8 year old should be able to handle being left with others for a few nights. Not to mention that it's healthy to create boundaries. Like I wrote earlier I know of one situation of high school kids still sleeping in bed with mom. It's no surprise that Dad finally says enough.
  24. great point. We've learned that outie Dylan is unhireable because of his current connection (severed) with Lumon. Outie Dylan also appears unmotivated and perhaps lazy. The flip side is that he is mad and jealous of innie Dylan. Of course Lumon only cares about Mark finishing Cold Harbor which is supposedly 1 day away. Will they want to rock the boat by allowing Dylan to resign? I would expect they will ignore the resignation request with the idea that they will fire Dylan by the end of the week.
  25. Tough episode for Dylan.
