Here's the YouTube link to tonight's Thursday rFactor2 racing league with the Track at Asheville gang. We raced 1965 Mini Coopers at Road Atlanta. The rollover/flip count was WAAAY over the initial estimate. 🤣 youtube.com/watch?v=4LQy9c…

El negacionismo climático es el peor de los combustibles ante la emergencia climática. Hoy, con más fuerza y argumentos que nunca, reclamo el acuerdo de país que más necesita España. El Pacto de Estado frente a la Emergencia Climática es un imperativo.

This will be taught in MBA programs in the foreseeable future. If universities still exist 10 years from now.

A Tesla employee once described what happens when Elon Musk walks out of a meeting. Mid sentence. While someone is still talking. Elon has told his teams explicitly: "Walk out of a meeting or drop off a call as soon as it is obvious you aren't adding value. It is not rude to leave. It is rude to waste people's time." The employee said the first time he saw it happen the room froze. A senior vice president was presenting a quarterly update and Elon simply stood up, nodded slightly, and left. No explanation. No "excuse me." The presentation continued but nobody was listening anymore. They were all processing what just happened. Over time the employee said it became normal. People understood the rule. If Elon leaves it means one of two things: the meeting doesn't need him, or the meeting shouldn't exist. Both are useful signals. The meetings got shorter. The presentations got sharper. People stopped scheduling meetings to feel productive and started scheduling them only when a decision needed to be made. He said the rule sounds brutal in theory but in practice it created the most efficient meeting culture he'd ever experienced. Nobody rambles when the CEO might stand up and leave. Nobody pads a presentation with filler when the audience includes someone who values his time in 5-minute increments. Most companies worship the appearance of collaboration. Elon worships the elimination of wasted time. And the difference between the two is why Tesla moves faster than companies ten times its size. The discomfort of watching someone leave your meeting is smaller than the cost of keeping someone in a meeting they don't need to be in. Most leaders aren't willing to make others uncomfortable to save time. Elon considers it a moral obligation.

Autoline's John McElroy on @Tesla's FSD: “It opens mobility for everybody, every segment of society. Not just the elderly, but even the young. Anybody with any disability. With people in their 70s, 80s, 90s - there is a guardian angel looking over their shoulder; Tesla claims - and I believe them - at the current level it's safer than human driving. I have no question that autonomy - once it's widespread - is going to save tens of thousands of lives a year.” (picture of Leonard Kraus, 92, who uses Tesla FSD to get him around Maryland and Florida)

This is a fantastic article about @Tesla's FSD by The Detroit News: "Determined to maintain their individual transportation independence, they are using Tesla’s hands-free FSD system as a driver assist. Though by no means exclusive to seniors in its ability to add another set of eyes to the road, FSD helps elderly drivers maintain a cocoon around their car as their confidence in reflexes and eyesight naturally deteriorate. 92-year-old Leonard Kraus uses Tesla FSD (Supervised) for 87% of his miles. He recommended Tesla FSD to his 95-year-old brother-in-law. “I don't think I would be driving without it.” “It's as good a driver as I am,” said Dick Amacher, 78, a retired General Motors engineer from Rochester Hills who drives his Model Y and Model 3 on FSD 98% of the time. “Here's the thing, it will not go through a red light. It will not go through a stop sign. Every once in a while, I've driven through neighborhoods where stop signs were partially obscured by low hanging branches, for example. . . and (the Tesla) sees them before I do.” Driving into Detroit, FSD exited the expressway near Wayne State. “All of a sudden the Tesla pulls over to the curb. I'm like: ‘what is going on?’” said the 78-year old. “Turns out there was an emergency vehicle coming from behind. FSD saw that it was an emergency vehicle before I did. It has vision in every direction simultaneously. A human being cannot replicate that.” Full article: detroitnews.com/story/business…

🚨🇫🇷 Yesterday French Media were reporting 162 Arrests so far for starting Fires - that number has already increased. So why are UK legacy media & Politicians blaming Climate Change for Man Made Fires?

Any vintage RC heli lovers out there? Here's a vintage Align TRex 600E helicopter that I rescued from a friend's storage crawl space. Hasn't flown in over 10 years but it's almost ready to fly again! Just waiting on 6S LiPo Batteries. My first big electric heli.

What you do not understand is that under socialism and communism, you don’t get to make art or be in your garden. Only the elites get to do that. You’ll be sent to a factory or farm, where you don’t get weekends or vacations or benefits.
‏ً@omgsidewalks

Genuinely, I DO NOT like the concept of capitalism. I don’t want to work my job every day. I want to make art. I want to be in my garden. I want to feel something.

They love this argument: If you can’t distinguish between various factions of far-leftism, then you’re automatically disqualified from having an opinion. Up front, here are the definitions (plus bonus Leninism definition): Communists = Strive for a classless society with common ownership of production. Marxists = Communists who believe in a classless society as the end of history. Leninists = Those who idolize the man who operationalized Marxism to its logical conclusion. Socialists = Fake meaning (Berniebros): Kids who like free stuff. Real meaning (PSL, DSA): Communists who pretend to tolerate dissent. And now here’s the reason why they’re all interchangeable and why it’s perfectly OK for everyone to use any one of those terms to refer to the others: They all advocate to overthrow the American government via revolution. Every single faction I’ve researched has had links to foreign hostile governments in service of revolution. Rubio’s Cuba Report from last week did a good job of documenting far left ties to Cuba. But what’s not covered is their deep ties to Venezuela, Nicaragua, Iran, China, and more. Far-leftists are fundamentally subversive to the core, with allegiances to foreign hostile governments. All of them. That’s what makes them interchangeable. Not whether they decide their party platform via Comintern vs. parliament. They’re “populist” only insofar as their allegiance is to some arbitrary Communist utopia rather than NATO. Which, by the way, is why I’m going to call out any right-wing commentator who proposes forming alliances with so-called “left-wing populists.” State governments must take the lead in banning far-leftists from voting in local elections or holding statewide office.

“Socialist,” “communist,” and “Marxist” are not interchangeable.

So not only will New York taxpayers pay $70 million to build government-run grocery stores – they will also pay subsidies in perpetuity to keep them afloat while funding unfair competition against legitimate small businesses. One more problem with socialism: you eventually run out of other people’s money.

Mayor Mamdani just announced that he will be opening 5 city-run, tax-funded grocery stores: "Prices set at 30% below retail prices"
