My mother doesn’t know where I live lol.

I can’t wait for that day.

Or that guy that boosted my car stereo. 🤬

Shocking to see here, that’s for sure. In the wild wearing dirty size 5X overalls, sure. But here?

People don’t even have free speech in this country anymore, why would it be different for irresponsibly wielded tech?

~50 years from the start. That’s quite slow. What you’re seeing is the terminus, not the whole picture.

Shit, I’ll give you a handjob for a horse. But not these guys.

There is no wrong answer when it comes to horrifying art.

It’s 2025. We’re doing gunmetal or titanium only.

With that sharp ridge of plastic at the meeting points, called flash, because they didn’t bother to clean it up before moving it down the line.

They remind me of FUUUUUUCK!

That wouldn’t anger anybody. Left or right.

I’d give 20-1 odds that it’s a Chinese-made print on petroleum-based material, and highly unlikely to be canvas. So it would make beautiful art as it burns and drips.

Edit: picture this- this building with this banner at night. The banner in flames at a rightward angle. At the bottom of the banner where it’s burning, the cheaply made plastic based banner melts as fast as it burns. Dripping, black molten plastic stalactites feed tiny black plastic stalagmites below. Freedom and law are seen in burn barrels behind the building.

We always used a black box thing, can’t remember what it was called, to load cypher to anything that was military equipment like radios and nav systems, and thumb drives for anything else.

Yeah well… Can you set the time on a VCR?

Really? Cause in my time in the army I never once saw any kind of military information being saved to cd. Not once. Never. Even in the early 2000s that was just never a thing. Ever.

None of that surprises me. The cyber truck is a flop so it makes sense to “inventory adjust” a week for them. And you can likely expect that trend to continue. Nice of them to give time off for their workers to enjoy the spring weather, right? 😉

The model Y just got a facelift, though. And whenever that happens, there are hiccups. That being said, you would think production would be going full bore for it from generated excitement from the refresh.They could have found a flaw that stopped production while they fix the issue, or it could be that the excitement that they expected isn’t there. Knowing Tesla, it’s likely both.

I’ve done it before. When we were working 64 hour weeks? Fuck yeah I’m taking that time off. It also said they could use PTO. The thing is, everywhere I’ve ever worked, there was never just “one week” of it off. It’s like one week every 4-6 weeks as it’s slowing down. Hell, I’m on one now. It’s basically to avoid layoffs and losing experienced workers.

Also, when you get a week off like that, it’s considered a layoff. So you can apply for unemployment for that time. If you keep calling in and reporting your working hours during the time that you’re back, you don’t have to refile for the next time it happens. Which will happen again in a couple weeks/months. The weird thing to me is that this is being reported on. It happens all the time, it could be for inventory adjustment, or because they’re having problems procuring parts due to tariffs. Or retooling/maintenance.

My point is, this doesn’t mean a whole lot as of yet. If it happens several more times over the coming months, then that means something. Especially since the stock isn’t going down like it was.

They won’t need to do much.

Don’t forget data centers spy warehouses.
