Once prices reach a certain point they remain “sticky” and without either a recession or a disinflationary cycle, they are the new “norm”.

Cuban has invested a total of $28M of his own money with a cash out of approximately $26M, so not bad...

The source article only goes into data regarding vehicle vs (pedestrian/bike).

From the 11/20/23 CityLab article - (to supplement this articles truncated 5th paragraph)

Dice is a great example of a person who had talent, acting talent, and someone convinced him stand-up was the way to go.

Given Johnson’s change in public support (even though he wants it tied to Border Security) has more to do with the Gaetz, et. al. crowd hanging the Sword of Damocles over his head. Going from hard no last year to “Ukraine has to prevail” shows he is spineless and hostage at the same time.

I’m a week into owning a Rivian R1T after a year long wait... Quad Motor was backlogged from supply constraints. Played with it in the dirt alongside my brother’s 2022 Wrangler Limited and it held it grounds. (I babied it a little since I’m still learning how to deal with the torque curve!)

I think GM has over-promised Honda batteries and platforms... thus they are playing the high margin games due to their own system constraints.

I’ll give Waldemar a look, always wanting to learn something new...

Between Renaissance Art changing most into “like me images” and the belief that Christ drew his own depiction (Acheiropoietos or “image not made by human hands”), European Christians really are to blame for this odd narrative.

Ask them politely about Jesus’s skin tone and watch their heads explode when you point out he would have been the ONLY WHITE person in the entire Middle East. (Skin tone should be olive, akin to modern Greece if memory serves...)

It’s right on the website... Damn, just a little research?

The US is around 15% of global totals whereas Saudi Arabia accounts for about 13%.

Like many things about cars, someone seeing the sticker and asking while I’m lacing up shoes or just stretching before going for a run is akin to noticing a performance upgrade and asking. Ever asked someone who owns a car you admire some detail? Same thing...

Do you wear a shirt with ANY sports team on it?

“All I need is a healthy ovum and I can grow my own Leonard Nemoy!”

Counterpoint - I have a single 26.2 magnet (about 4 inches round) on my car from the years of training I put into the Boston Marathon. And when I go to other running things, people actually do ask about the effort.

Sheldon drove Penny to the Hospital (I’m firmly in the camp Sheldon/Penny was the best relationship on that show!)

The only true application for AI that has new guardrails is overdubbing for lips when movies are voiced for different languages. There are now protections in place for actors and it will make viewing films in other languages more realistic (I watch Japanese language films to keep my language skills intact.)
