Many people commuting in the Bay Area… “My Telsa.”

I mean, I was all into Master of Puppets era Metallica, but that doesn’t mean I had to like Load and beyond.

Things change. That’s life.

The flooding is going to come anyway. JC should just play video games and let humans continue melting the ice caps.

Up next in Utah, higher dental insurance premiums, copays, and deductibles.

Insurance companies will still collect it since they need to pay out for a lot of this shit. We’ll also be able to quantify this impact by looking at dental premiums and copays. They’ll eventually go up in states without fluoridated water.

This author should’ve spent digging into the iPhone 12 / 13 mini, and how it was received in Apple communities a few years ago.

That experiment really showed that the small phone demographic is passionate and vocal, but small (no pun intended). Those phones sold well when the small-phone-fans ran out to buy them, but the sales numbers cooled off quick.

Given that Apple is working on a lightweight 17 “air” phone, my guess is that they learned screen size is too important for too many people, but they’re going to see if they can strike a middle ground with weight / pocket fit.

America is about to be like OG Russia. Shitty cars, with old drivetrain and powertrain technology, that the rest of the world doesn’t want to drive.

Reminder, it’s pledge week for many public radio stations / NPR affiliates.

DONATE

Give whatever you can. This is the time to actually give. These poor journalists are having to pay for legal counsel with a shoe string budget.

Former DHS security systems designers here.

If you want to complain about body scanners, complain about the security theater, lack of privacy, or back-scratching of security industry lobbyists.

Complaining about non-ionizing radiation is RFK-level conspiracy bullshit.

Also worth noting, a lot of public radio stations / NPR affiliates are doing their winter public pledge drives right now, and money will help them fund off defunding and legal attacks from the Trump administration.

If you like what little good journalism we have left in America. Donate.

 

Oakland is making a lot of big cuts because of lost revenue. Most notably, transfer taxes cash stops flowing when the housing market cools down.

They were eyeing cutting fire stations to make ends meet. But given the 91 fire in the lower hills, and the recent LA fires, a lot of oaklanders pushed back super hard.
