  1. Tesla booted from the Vancouver auto show due to safety concerns. Tesla was asked to withdraw and when they refused/ignored the request, the auto show kicked them out. https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/tesla-removed-as-participant-in-2025-vancouver-international-auto-show-10394725 My guess is that we will hear about this from Trump today and he will find some way to reciprocate this action.
  2. Look into the theraband flex bar. Basically a thick tube of rubber. Outside of it looking like a sex toy, it's great to use for therapy for elbow problems, golf or tennis. You hold it in both hands ant twist one wrist at a time. It warms up the arm muscles which appears to offload some stress from the elbow. In my experience with both golf and tennis elbow, nothing helps as much as time. No one wants to hear it but it may be better for long term.
  3. Dan Patrick knows what's best for everyone. And he doesn't need to ask the Texas public for their opinions.
  4. Twitter reminds me of Hornsfans. Say something not positive about the owners and they would give you a temp or perm ban. <Insert flashing letter icon.>
  5. Isn’t the cyber truck only assembled in the Austin factory? Someone here must work for Tesla or know someone who does. What are the production numbers like now?
  6. I like the idea of a different Dylan showing up but that will be more unsettling to Mark and Helly. Perhaps Drummond does that with Milcheck not being consulted.
  7. Cedrek has an odd website for a surgeon but perhaps he is more interested in being a media personality. https://cedrekmd.com/.
  8. If someway, somehow Canada started going down the path to being annexed, I would bet any amount that Trump would slightly change his tune. He would start to refer to Canada as a future American territory without voting power. Same with Greenland. No chance they would get statehood even if their citizens wanted to become a state. Most of his offhand comments are sourced by what he reads on Truth Social
  9. I hate to think that race comes into play but it made no sense that Cedrek voted to keep Sai. Cedrek flat out said that he bonded the most with Justin and they had a plan for an alliance to the end. For Justin, the mistake he made was choosing Cedrek for that alliance. It would suck to finally get on survivor and just sit there powerless and be voted out by your best friend on the show. Of course Justin could have pointed out more of Sai's (obvious) flaws but he seems like too good of a person for that. I'm looking forward to Sai voting out Cedrek, hopefully this week.
  10. they're just on a tear to eliminate whatever they can regardless of the consequences.
  11. How exactly would the average voter be able to prove their citizenship status? And realize that Trump is fighting to remove birthright citizenship. If that occurs, then showing up with a certified birth certificate means nothing other than you were born here. And just saying your parents were citizens, and therefore confers citizenship on you, may not be enough. Whos to say that your parents were citizens or their parents?
  12. An 8 year old should be able to handle being left with others for a few nights. Not to mention that it's healthy to create boundaries. Like I wrote earlier I know of one situation of high school kids still sleeping in bed with mom. It's no surprise that Dad finally says enough.
  13. great point. We've learned that outie Dylan is unhireable because of his current connection (severed) with Lumon. Outie Dylan also appears unmotivated and perhaps lazy. The flip side is that he is mad and jealous of innie Dylan. Of course Lumon only cares about Mark finishing Cold Harbor which is supposedly 1 day away. Will they want to rock the boat by allowing Dylan to resign? I would expect they will ignore the resignation request with the idea that they will fire Dylan by the end of the week.
  14. Tough episode for Dylan.
  15. The Bitcoin is gone. Most likely the QR code is the wallet. Bitcoin balances live on the online ledger. They never exist on a wallet in your pocket or USB drive. You basically need a password to get to the coins and the QR code was the wallet/qr code combo. On the off chance the scammers didn’t get qr code picture, I would quickly learn from the ATM company how to transfer the bitcoin from the paperwork they provided her. what was the scam? Was it where someone convinced grandma that they transferred $10,000 to her when it was supposed to be $100. And how they would lose their job if she didn’t “refund” them $9900?
  16. I always like to ask bible thumpers why the first commandment mentions other gods. Who are those gods? I thought they said there was only one but bible says there are more.
  17. I don't know if I would call this common but I've heard some horror stories that a wife allows the kid(s) to sleep in the parents room every night for years. Even to an extreme that high school kids are sleeping in the same room as their parents while the kid has a perfectly bedroom of their own.
  18. in other words, "all of you people under 150K, give us free reign to reduce the govt and we will reward you with no income taxes." This is the illusion of a bribe that will never happen.
  19. given that the district is comprised of 750K constituents, I think 15 is ridiculously small. Take out the staff that do not deal directly with the public, and you probably have 5-7 people who help constituents with questions or problems. No wonder none of feel any connection to our congress member.
  20. Less reported but Edwards was asked why it was ok that the VA or other agencies are firing 20% of their workers but Edwards is keeping his full staff. Edwards' reply was that he needed his team of 15 to fully support his district. Obviously it doesn't take an intelligent person to identify the flaw in his logic that maybe just maybe the agencies also need most of their staff as well.
  21. If or when we pressure Greenland to join us, how would that be any different than if Russia pressured Finland to join Russia for national security reasons? Or pull Estonia back into Russia (obviously the Soviet Union but the same thing.)
  22. A few decades ago I was in a 4A school and my graduating class was <120. No one on varsity sports was a celebrity even if they went on to college. They were just the kid you knew since elementary school and you probably knew an embarrassing story about them. But I also recognize that I was in varsity sports (not a starter in anything) so maybe others felt it was a bigger deal to be on the team.
  23. Justin should have told Cedric that he had been loyal to him since Day 1 and that he couldn't believe that Cedric was changing his vote. And how Sai wouldn't forget it. Then once Cedric voted him out, Justin should have told him to f off. cedric is the opposite of a friend. He's a surgeon and he's this wishy washy about something like a Survivor vote? I wouldn't allow him to operate on me or frankly anyone I knew. I can only assume that he's this indecisive about everything.
  24. Sai is only about herself. Others have to prove their loyalty to her and not the other way around. Cedric voted to remove Sai twice and then decided to remove Justin. He continually supports Sai even when it goes against his game. FYI, it wouldn’t shock me if Sai ends up voting Cedric out next week because she is not going to forget he twice put her name down.
  25. Bessent and Lutnick are speaking to an audience of 1, who is probably watching. They're not speaking to the American or investing public. If they say anything that could be viewed as negative to the current administration, they will be fired or at a minimum yelled at. It's always amazing to me that accomplished people will work in White House Administrations. I see the Sec of Treasury as a step down for a bank teller much less a CEO.
