I'm sure Duffy is getting plenty for it. At least Toyota is plowing ahead with new EVs (Highlander) and focusing on hybrids instead of cancelling EV platforms like some other manufacturers. Better late than never.

His departure, effective immediately, comes amid allegations he regularly traveled abroad to solicit sex workers, reportedly bragging about the conduct to Border Patrol colleagues, according to a Washington Examiner report.

An investigation into his alleged conduct was terminated while Kristi Noem oversaw the Department of Homeland Security.

The Washington Examiner spoke with six current and former Border Patrol employees who said Banks traveled to Colombia and Thailand to solicit sex workers there.

Taiwan would never let that happen, it's basically their entire national defense strategy.

Taiwan currently has the most advanced machines and the engineers to run them. If China invades, they disable the machines, destroy some parts that are purposely difficult to reverse engineer, and the engineers flee. China basically gets some scrap metal. Even if China manages to capture one intact, they still wouldn't have the engineers who know how to keep the fragile processes running.

But Taiwan is basically only 2 architecture generations ahead, and as risk has intensified, companies have been diversifying their chip supply chains and catching up to TSMC's frontier processes, which aren't as far ahead as they used to be. This is partly what Apple's deal with Intel is about. Additionally, strict export controls have strongly incentivized China to invest heavily in their own research, and they're catching up quickly. So Taiwan's Silicon Shield is eroding. I wouldn't be surprised if China has had some big breakthroughs that have narrowed Taiwan's lead even further, and we just don't know about it yet.

Courageous, and when he came out, man, I thought it was amazing to put himself under the microscope and the scrutiny and the hatred and the vitriol that was going to happen,” he said. “But man, I hate the way this story ended because he was a shining example. Do you man. Obviously, anybody out there who’s struggling with their sexuality, do you. Gay people have the right to do what they want to do. It’s nobody else’s business at all. For him to come out, it was great and obviously, you know, a lot of times, especially in the black community, when you’re gay, you get treated awful. And that sucks, too. But I was proud of him for coming out. And when I got that news yesterday, it just sucked.”

Waddle & Silvy used to host these Lunch with a Legend things, where they'd broadcast from a Morton's steakhouse, have a "legendary" sports person come in and talk for an hour, and fans could go for lunch and listen/watch.

I went to 2...the first was with Scottie Pippen. I brought a basketball on the chance that he'd be willing to sign autographs. But during show breaks they'd have a couple security people come out in front of the stage and turn people away that were looking to have him sign anything.

The second was Charles Barkley. again brought a basketball, figuring it couldn't hurt. He came out to start his segment 20-30 minutes early just because. During the first break someone went up and was initially turned away. But Barkley waived him up and said it was ok. From then on during every break there was a line of people with stuff for him to sign. He signed everything, asked everyone their name, thanked them for coming, etc. He was great.

New: Sen. Rand Paul’s son drunkenly accosted and hurled anti-Semitic insults at Rep. Mike Lawler at a Capitol Hill bar on Tuesday night.

His son told Lawler that if Rep Thomas Massie loses, it’s going to be because of “your people.”

“My people?” Lawler asked Paul.

“Yeah, you Jews,” Paul responded.

“Do you think I’m Jewish?” Lawler asked. “I’m not.”

“Oh wow, I’m so sorry for calling you a Jew,” Paul said.

He then said that Jews were “anti-American” and how Lawler and his “Jewish supporters” served Israel more than America.

He then refernced the replacement rate of 2.1, so I guess it’s that. Although that has nothing to do with how many kids people want.

Yes, there has been some inflation, and it differs from the 70’s in that a large part of it is directly Trump’s fault, because of stupid things he’s done. But still, we’re at like a quarter of what the inflation rate was like through much of the 70’s.

The original plan was to use a robot to ensure the color would be applied consistently, but the contractor is now entrusting the job to individual workers instead, the documents indicate. That, the documents say, left different shades in different parts of the pool — and questions about what an uneven paint job might mean for the pool’s final appearance."

Real or imagined, that generation has no idea if the job they wanted to do is going to be there, and are sitting worried if they're being sold a bill of goods by their college/advisors in terms of their majors and whether there's even an economic future there.

Lots of fear. Across every sector.

I doubt any of them are like "I am fully resistant to learning job based AI skills so I can be a better employee." They're worried if they're even going to get a chance to be an employee.
