Genesis LMDh to be powered by doubling up Hyundai's WRC I4:
QuoteAnyone who knows about engines will appreciate that we only had six months to develop a complete engine. We elected to go with a V-8, precisely because the V-8 was a great opportunity not to have to redesign a complete engine from scratch and instead take inspiration from our [Hyundai Motor Group's] existing WRC [World Rally Championship] engine, a very competitive 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four that we've been using for several years. We took that engine and made it two times four in line, which gives us a V-8.

The narrative is that any cease fire would benefit Russia more than Ukraine, because Russia can rebuild reserves faster. But is that true? American aid is back on, the Europeans are spooling up, and Ukraine builds more and more of their own stuff.
Sure Russia will have time to drag T34’s out of the tree row, up armor Lada’s and such but it really seems Ukrain has the edge here.
Or does this refer to Russia’s time to conscript more backwater hillbillies and Norks?
methinks it's getting another few divisions of norks to the front. it's about to be mud season anyway so a short ceasefire probably doesn't change the front lines much over the next bit.

Caleb Ragland, a soybean farmer in Magnolia, Ky., voted for President Donald Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Now, however, he has to navigate a tariff minefield at a time when the sector is already facing major headwinds.
Ragland works with his wife and three sons and has deep roots in the community. His family has been farming on the land for more than two centuries. But in recent years, he has seen a double-digit percentage decline in crop prices while production costs rise, with soybean futures having gone down more than 40% over the past three years along with corn futures.
As pressures mount in the industry as a result of tariffs imposed by the second Trump administration — as well as retaliatory levies from other countries — he’s worried about the longevity of his business.
“My sons potentially could be the 10th generation if they’re able to farm,” Ragland, who is also the president of the American Soybean Association, told CNBC. “And when you have policies that are completely out of our control – that they manipulate our prices 20%, 30%, and on the flip side, our costs go up – we won’t be able to stay in business.”
“We’re already at the point that we’re unprofitable,” Ragland said. “Why on earth are we trying to add insult to injury for the ag sector by basically adding a tax?”
Ragland pointed out that he “appreciates the president’s ability to negotiate” and wants Trump to be successful for the sake of the country. However, he emphasized that those in the industry, especially soybean producers, don’t have any “elasticity in our ability to weather a trade war that takes away from our bottom line.”
“Folks are upset,” Ragland said about sentiment from other farmers, stressing that they all need relief through deals that reduce barriers to trade and a new five-year comprehensive farm bill – legislation that provides producers with key commodity support programs, among others. “You’re talking about people’s livelihoods,” he remarked.

Major Major's father was a sober God-fearing man whose idea of a good joke was to lie about his age. He was a long-limbed farmer, a God-fearing, freedom-loving, law-abiding rugged individualist who held that federal aid to anyone but farmers was creeping socialism. He advocated thrift and hard work and disapproved of loose women who turned him down. His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbors sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counseled one and all, and everyone said, “Amen."

I've listened to a few podcasts / watched documentaries, and octopi are fascinating creatures. They have 3 hearts and 9 brains - one in the head and each tentacle. They can squeeze through any hole that's bigger than their beak. They are the masters of disguise, able to shape shift, change color, change texture, and escape by swimming or running. Female octopi will stay with their eggs until they hatch, which in some cases take over a year.
I've actually stopped eating them because I have a lot of respect for them... even though grilled octopus over charcoal with a splash of lemon juice is amazing.
Octopus is Greek so the plural in English is either octopuses or octopodes (nuts). "Octopii" is a false latinization.

Anyone have memorable pizzas in Rome? I wanna sample all of the top favorites but have limited time.
Tried Nerone, Ai Marmi, Dar Poeta. Only one I want to revisit is Bonci (serving al taglio squares).
This place in Monti was amazing. Try the braesola pizza.

Agree. They're also putting in lounges at airports for cardholders. The one inside the Phoenix Airport was really nice! 10 minute wait by text and they assigned us a table for free food and drinks.
Need one in IAH bad. Kinda expect it once the new terminals are done but no announcement yet.

Rogan is such a pussy. He's terrified of Sam and refuses to "have a conversation" with him because he know that Seder will absolutely demolish him with a barrage of facts and logic Rogan's baby brain doesn't understand.
Side note: Seder's appearance on Jubilee just dropped yesterday in which he politely and deftly humiliates 20 young Republicans. It's worth watching.
