Pretty wild that this house was built in the 1930’s.

Good news! Tariffs just made new stuff significantly more expensive so the resale value will be higher now. /s

I was curious so I went to look up the average egg price and see the reported price by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows it is an average of $3.13/dozen as of March 26th, magically down from $8.17/dozen on March 1st. However, the lowest reported price in any state is $6.79 in Virginia. So something is quite fishy.

Edit: This article seems to shed a little more light on things. The wholesale price has dropped but retail prices will lag. Sounds like a drop in egg demand due to high prices and farms getting caught up on egg laying hens and causing the wholesale market to settle down.

Depends what you want to do. They don’t require a network connection to operate as a vehicle. So if you don’t care about the remote app features (local ones such as lock/unlock still work over BLE), live traffic, streaming music or updates, then a network connection isn’t necessary.

If you do want any of those features, then you would need to either get root access to the gateway and infotainment systems to modify the endpoints or take over the C&C server (formerly named “mothership”) domains and certificates.

The main things are removing the cellular connection and disabling the connection back to the Tesla services. Back in the old days you could pull the SIM card, root the center and driver’s displays, setup firewall rules to block traffic to/from the Tesla servers, and disable the VPN.

This is more difficult with the newer models. You can still pull the SIM, but would need to get creative for root access since it is a continuous game of whack-a-mole between the root methods and patches.

Will certainly be a bummer if they do go under, I really appreciated their serviceability. Have several in the immediate family that have been going for over 7 years at this point though all kinds of calamities. Each time can I just pop out all the components clean/replace as necessary and get it back in service, good as new.

The Atlanta Federal Reserve GDPNow is estimating that Q1 GDP is -2.8%. Originally it was predicted to be +2%.

Found the link to the SSA page describing the policy which took effect in 2015.

That is a fun rabbit hole. This was Nixon’s presidency and right before the whole Watergate scandal broke, so probably lots of shady shit happening around then that help put us on this wonderful trajectory.

Get it cornered in trying to reconcile how the citizens of China keep their government accountable when information is censored to only favor the governments position, it will then give answers around some of the “sensitive” topics.

Trace Route. The *NIX equivalent command is traceroute, Windows shortened it to tracert.

If this means high-speed rail from Vancouver to LA, sign us up!

Like the Lucid Air with a 512 mile range?

I’ll be curious to see which “select” smartphones will be eligible for the beta.

They might manage to knock gas prices down a few tens of cents in the short term as they “drill baby, drill”, but agreed everything else is going to go up, and of course, we get extra screwed in the long term.

Sadly, a few protests now is nothing in comparison if Harris would have won. The Republican party already had preemptive lawsuits to challenge the election results before election day and the results would have been contended for months. There was a high likelihood of a repeat of Jan. 6th 2021 on Jan. 6th 2025 from right wing milita groups.

Forget about Jan. 6th 2021 already? I don’t recall any legal authority there and yet it still happened.

Also, we’ve had bounty programs in the past for populations of people.

I like the sentiment, but that is predicated on there being another election under the same rule set which would allow either party to win. If things come to pass with the unitary executive theory outlined in Project 2025 and the dictatorship desires that have already been declared, makes it unlikely votes will work to change political parties going forward…

Sure did.

Yeah, the EV market is fine, just Tesla sales which have dropped some, lowering numbers for the total EV market. Sales continue to be strong for other EV manufacturers, just one brand slowing down for some strange reason… Almost like someone has started to alienate their core customer base…
