@ExxAlerts Out of all breeds, why beagles?

ALERT: Baywatch star Alexandra Paul arrested in a beagle heist at a large dog breeder and scientific research facility in Wisconsin. Alexandra Paul, 62, was arrested for trespassing, along with approximately 20 other people, for breaking into Ridglan Farms. Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett released the following statement: "Our role is to keep everyone safe and to respond when unlawful activity takes place. We encourage anyone with concerns about animal welfare or research practices to engage through lawful and constructive avenues. The Sheriff’s Office remains committed to maintaining public safety, promoting peaceful dialogue, and ensuring that all parties can exercise their rights within the bounds of the law."

Yeah I feel like the rural people would be more likely to hop on board with a better range. Most of the time it’s not needed though since you just charge at home overnight. Right now I can see owning a gas truck for trips/projects at home and an electric car as your commuter or regular day use.

@Flipside112 @niccruzpatane His example is that it should not be brought to market and no one wants it. However, I guarantee if Tesla did roll that out, all the fan boys will flip their scripts and say how innovative it is and how every EV needs that kind of range.

Unless you’re driving 500+ miles per day, you don’t need an EV with that much range. The average person drives around 37 miles per day. Current Tesla offerings provide way more than enough for the vast majority of people. On road trips, I can usually only drive about two hours before I need to get out, stretch my legs, etc. During that time, my car charges. It’s not the inconvenience people think it is. It doesn’t make sense to lug around a huge battery when most people don’t actually use that capacity.

@moneymattybux @niccruzpatane Yeah I think the point is keep making it better. It’s not bad now but there’s a crowd that wants and or needs more range. It’s only a matter of time, I don’t think Tesla has given up on charging/ battery range.

@niccruzpatane Two hours and you need a stretch? Cmon man stop forgiving shit range. He’s 100% correct. The only thing I absolutely hate about my EV is the 270 mile max range.

@StevenMeyerUX @niccruzpatane They are trying to produce it. I think with the l latest battery technology that they’ll be implementing soon will add around an extra 25 miles or so. It takes time to make breakthroughs.

@niccruzpatane I don’t understand the logic. The market keeps asking for it… so the marketing tactic is just don’t produce it? The market has decided and now the smart manufacturers are starting to meet that demand. Tesla needs to up the total mileage.

@vladimir_s65091 @niccruzpatane It will replace most in the future. I bet in the next 5 years they’ll produce cars that get over 400.

@niccruzpatane Tesla recommends charging from 10%-80% so the battery is only 70% useable. Then you add towing , cold weather and fast speed and 500 mile battery goes down to 150 mile useable. It will never replace gasoline.

@CollinRugg So much lost potential.

19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi executed by Iran in a public hanging. Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi were executed as part of Iran's brutal crackdown on protests. According to human rights groups, Mohammadi was tortured to confess "to the capital crime of waging war against God." "His execution was a blatant political murder, part of the Islamic Republic’s pattern of targeting athletes to crush dissent and terrorize society," said human rights activist Nima Far. The protesters were accused by the regime of killing two police officers with knives and swords. They "fast-tracked proceedings that bore no resemblance to a meaningful trial," Amnesty International said. RIP.

@WebUndefeated You could also use carnuba wax for people allergic to soy. I agree glass would be best but I doubt they will change everything to glass.

@WebUndefeated I’d rather see them push for soy bean wax to line the canned foods everyone eats. Canned foods are lined with plastic. Pretty easy fix. I don’t want my refried beans putting plastic in my balls.

This mushroom based material from Magical Mushroom Company can be grown into almost anything in as little as 7 days, and it’s a direct replacement for polystyrene.

@Saucebossyy @johnsemley3000 He was Welsh…. Pretty easy to look up

@johnsemley3000 FYI - St Patrick was Italian 🇮🇹💪🏼

I like when they started adding bottle openers to the bottom of shoes. Which mostly just collects dog shit and rocks to scratch your floor. “Hey Bob you want me to open your beer with the bottom of my dirty ass flop,I just walked through downtown San Francisco!”

I was looking for a new pair of flip flops on Amazon. I think the foot model might be German. Enhance

@IterIntellectus Once this gets easier there will be people blocking treatment saying “ But what about all of the jobs that will be lost with cancer treatment.”

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

@ANicole8321 @barkmeta @Dexerto The sellers realtor doesn’t even show the home in a lot of cases, they give the code to the buyers agent.

@barkmeta @Dexerto Is a robot gonna show you houses?

Florida man sold his house in just 5 days after letting ChatGPT handle the entire process instead of a real estate agent The AI handled pricing, marketing, showings, and even helped draft the contract

🚨 MOM WALKS INTO A SPORTING GOODS STORE AND LOSES HER MIND AFTER SEEING A $500 KIDS BASEBALL BAT — “THIS IS PRICE GOUGING” A mom filming inside a sporting goods store says she thought she was just grabbing a bat for her kid’s season. Then she checked the price tags. One bat on the rack: $500. Right next to it: $450. Then she looks at baseball mitts. One youth glove: $330. “I don’t care what the material is … unless it’s made out of solid gold it ain't worth $300." Next she checks the equipment bags. $450. Parents watching the video say youth sports equipment prices are getting completely out of control. Some say it’s starting to feel less like inflation and more like straight up price gouging targeting families. Between bats, gloves, bags, cleats, and league fees, some parents say a single baseball season can now cost thousands of dollars. Are sports stores price gouging parents… or is this just the new normal?

No, your kid doesn’t need the best (or most expensive) bat to play the sport fine and enjoy it—plenty of regulation BBCOR bats (required for high school and some middle school play) cost $70–$100 or even less on sale/closeout, and they perform solidly for most players without the premium price tag.

@Boston_George @WaterlooVoodoo @HustleBitch_ What’s next, basketballs that bounce themselves?

@Flipside112 @WaterlooVoodoo @HustleBitch_ Dude it’s not 2006. Premium bats are vastly better performing than a cheap “Walmart” bat. That’s just a fact. Whether it’s worth it or not depends on your kids level and age.

@scoler2011 @HustleBitch_ I agree. I’m sure the expensive bats are great but people were hitting well years before those existed. I mean what did The Sultan of Swat,The King of Crash,The Colossus of Clout use? Maybe he only hit grounders.

@Flipside112 @HustleBitch_ THIS is exactly it. Its the "Travel Ball Dads" spending $$ on premium composite- Easton/Hype, Marucci.. not necessary for the average little league kid. And miss me with this- "the bat makes a hitter" BS sure the composites are better, but ur kid either hits bombs, or he doesnt.

@73easting @GigaBasedDad I would argue the other hand should be holding a cigarette . It makes you look cool and gives you street cred.

@GigaBasedDad Put one hand in your pocket and the other should be giving a peace sign. You'll go far.

Any advice for her?
