  1. She sure did TRY and have her employee's back, but failed, and it is now very clear that that will not happen anymore at Tesla.
  2. I think that Elon is just being a petulant brat. My read, is that the Supercharger exec tried to spare her team from layoffs, and Musk's response is: Any managers that try and stick up for your employees will be fired, and all of your employees as well. This gives a clear message to the employees: 1) To managers: You ABSOLUTELY CANNOT stick up for your employees. 2) To workers: Your manager ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT have your back. I'm sure this will be great for morale, everybody knows it is now HARDCORE.
  3. SUMUS SIC FUCKING RETUSUS E Pluribus Unum has been there too long, time for a change anyways.
  4. It is the fallout from the Toledo War with Ohio. Way back when Michigan was about to be admitted to the union, the border between Ohio and Michigan was not well defined, and there was a dispute between the states. Since you couldn't be admitting states with undefined borders, eventually the decision was to give the small strip of land near Toledo to Ohio, and as compensation, Michigan was given the UP. At the time, everyone thought the UP was worthless and so Michigan got the bad end of that deal, but then they realized that it was full of iron and copper.
  5. Does being arrested by a cop trying to smoke a joint count?
  6. Yeah, I saw something about national news where protests included UT, so of course I immediately went to this site, and everything being posted (some of which was actual news) was on the 2 Israel/Palestine threads, so of course I followed things here, and those posts just got deleted??? WTF???
  7. Las Manitas? I don't remember when it closed but I liked that place.
  8. Don't worry, the remaining shop techs are all extremely hardcore.
  9. I'd stay in Longmont or maybe Loveland, not far away. I've never been to Loveland but it has to at least smell better than Greeley.
  10. The 'market' will work out a new price. Ideally, the business has now increased in worth by whatever value the company makes of the cash raised by the stock sales, which would be divided by the new (larger) number of shares, to work out the new per-share price.
  11. I don't remember my first silver (probably a Mercury dime though), but my first real numismatic/collectible thing was this $20 note from the Republic of Texas. I think it cost me $25 in US dollars, 40 years ago or so.
  12. When I have had something like this happen, I have been accidentally pressing the volume control on my headset.
  13. The sun looks like a black hole, at least to me. It just looks completely wrong and impossible. The brightness of everything is just broken. It is hard to explain until you see it yourself.
  14. Mecca will also get about 5 min 10 sec of totality in 2027, to add another religious site.
  15. No, it depends on exactly how close the moon and sun are, which vary in complicated ways. It never gets close to an hour but it does vary a lot. About 3-4 minutes is pretty typical.
  16. Sydney will get a total eclipse for about 3 minutes 50 seconds, at about 2 pm.
  17. Sorry about your luck. If you don't get a good look at totality, you miss the good part. A total eclipse is like nothing else you have ever seen. That includes any pictures you have seen before, which just don't capture how unreal it looks. All the leadup where the sun turns crescent, things get dark, is cool but not unreal like the eclipsed sun.
  18. I think these are called solar prominences? I saw an orange dot and did not realize what it was until you posted these photos. Thanks! I'm not sure why they are red/orange though.
  19. That eclipse will not be longer than 5 min 15 seconds anywhere. A little bit longer than this one. That doesn't mean you should miss it though!
  20. Do you mean the Confederation Bridge, in Canada between Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick? That is a long one, and the one time I drove it was during a hurricane, albeit much weakened by the time it got up there, but still windy enough that trucks were not allowed on it at the time.
  21. I'd forgotten how alluring the letter Y can be...
  22. Yeah, if visibility is really bad, why isn't that a good idea? Especially if slowing down well below the official speed limit as it has become so hard to see.
  23. Distrito Federal, aka Mexico City, or the semi-state that most of the city is part of. (Kind of like DC in a way.)
