@SawyerMerritt This must be a joke. It’s really ugly. Does not feel like a sport car at all. Looks like a city car for my grandma. They should have created something like this.
Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce.
• Starting price: $640,000
• Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive
• Range: 280 miles (expected EPA)
• Peak charging speed: 350kW
• 122 kWh battery
• 1,050 horsepower
• 0-60mph: 2.4s
• 800v
• Four-door four-seater
• Four electric motors
• OLED screens
• Weight: 4,982 lbs
• Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm
• Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car.
• Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels
• The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered

U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027. More photos in the thread below:
@InspiringThinkn You don't know that. Don't speak nonsense just to try to make an unknown person feel better, otherwise you're just degrading other things you say. Always speak the truth.
Somewhere in this vast world, a soul breathes easier and a heart feels lighter simply because you are here—quiet proof that your life matters.

In Italy, stray cats are being given a touch of dignity and comfort through a charming urban initiative. Several towns and cities have installed cozy sidewalk “cubbies” beneath public benches, complete with soft, dry cushions and food and water bowls.
These thoughtfully designed shelters provide stray cats with safe resting spots and reliable meals while blending naturally into the streetscape. The project reflects Italy’s longstanding cultural affection for cats and its commitment to humane, compassionate coexistence with its many feline residents.
In The Matrix (1999), Neo and Morpheus briefly form a Yin-Yang symbol during their training fight, with their black-and-white outfits and mirrored movements perfectly aligning mid-attack.
Andy Garcia on his ‘Godfather III’ director:
“Francis Coppola always said to me that the mark of a movie that has resonance is how it holds up 25 years later. I saw Francis’ movie Megalopolis. He had been trying to make that movie for 30 years. What I took away from it was there’s no great obstacle that can’t be overcome by a dream.”bit.ly/4dutscb

@MrReaganUSA@doomannihilator How dare you! 😂
Fair call though — next time someone drops a mushroom warning, I'll skip the polite nod and go full Greta mode. Or at least "You dick 🤨".
Lesson noted. What's the next meme tutorial?
The historic moment of how The Beatles were formed.
It all began in 1957. Sixteen-year-old John Lennon had a skiffle band called The Quarrymen. In 1957, at a parish fair at St. Peter’s Church in Woolton (Liverpool), The Quarrymen were playing. They performed the song “Come Go With Me” by The Del-Vikings. John didn’t know the lyrics well, so he improvised parts by making up words on the spot.
In the audience was 15-year-old Paul McCartney, who had gone with a mutual friend (Ivan Vaughan). Paul was impressed by John’s charisma despite his slip-up. After the performance, Paul approached John in the church hall. They asked John for his guitar; Paul tuned it correctly (John had it out of tune), played it upside down because he was left-handed, and performed Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock” perfectly, lyrics and all. John was so impressed that, shortly afterward, he invited Paul to join the band.
In 1958, George Harrison, Paul’s friend and only 14 years old, joined the band. Although John initially saw him as “the kid,” George proved his talent and stayed on. The band went through several name changes (The Blackjacks, Johnny and the Moondogs, etc.) until, in 1960, they adopted the name The Beatles, inspired by Buddy Holly & The Crickets and playing on the word “beat.”
In August 1960, with Stuart Sutcliffe on bass and Pete Best on drums, they traveled to Hamburg, Germany. They played for months in clubs in the red-light district, sometimes for 8 hours a night. It was an extremely tough but crucial period: they matured as musicians, learned to perform live, and forged their chemistry. There they also met Astrid Kirchherr, who gave them their famous “mop-top” hairstyles.
Back in Liverpool, they began playing regularly at the Cavern Club. On November 9, 1961, Brian Epstein, a young record salesman, saw them and was captivated. He became their manager and opened the doors to record labels for them.
In 1962, producer George Martin signed them to EMI. He asked to replace the drummer, and in August, Ringo Starr joined the band. On September 4, 1962, they recorded their first single: “Love Me Do,” which was released in October and reached number 17 on the British charts. Shortly after, “Please Please Me” was released, and Beatlemania exploded.
From being 4 ordinary boys who played at church parties, smoke-filled basements, and bars in Hamburg, to becoming the biggest musical phenomenon of the 20th century.

This puzzle is intriguing for people of a wide range of ages and backgrounds. In which case does Olivia need less force? Why?
@coinbureau This makes no sense to me. It's the blockchain that's vulnerable; a wallet isn't going to change that. Am I missing something, or is everyone else misguided?
🚨 NEW BITCOIN WALLET CLAIMS QUANTUM RESISTANCE
Postquant Labs says its new Layer 2 design shrinks quantum attack window to ~20 minutes or 2 blocks.
This delivers protection without altering the base protocol unlike challenging proposals of BIP-361 and Paul Sztorc’s hard fork.
