Mainly here for financial and macro talk but also here to lighten it up with comedic hour!
Disagree. Know of a specific product where one competitor does it out of stamping with multiple laser welding operations vs one and done in a mill then machine.
having to CNC something is a failure on your part as an engineer to make it out of sheet metal
Sad we can’t make this in USA… we don’t even own the technology let alone produce in USA. When manufacturing jobs are lost, people think about just producing but we lost the ability to even own IP and design. On a side note, laser cutters are DROPPING in price.

Elon has the capacity and ability to just shoot a bunch of darts (ideas) on the way and see what sticks. 1B a year production for a robot? Please… Try 250k-1M unit annually.
Elon Musk today on @Tesla's Optimus robot: "Hypothetically, if Tesla were making a billion of these a year at scale — maybe it would be $30,000 each, I'm just guessing — that’s $30 trillion in revenue." via @theXtakeover
I agree that HG2 was not good. However, I give it credit for bringing back all the old cast. I felt like the movie made it a point whenever they brought back cast to reintroduce who they were, as it was a nostalgic.
Happy Gilmore 2 was not good. It had its moments. It started with some promise. But it went off the rails about an hour in. This is coming from someone who has the original memorized. 😁
This is sad.. the girl was probably raised in US school system and never talked Spanish. But it’s sad she isn’t willing to embrace another language.
I've seen this a lot over the years Latin Americans getting frustrated at finding some Latino in the US who either can't or won't speak Spanish to them
Ouch! All the billions and disruption in the automotive space over the last 10 years.

Traveling for work has its perks! Get to stop and “drive through” places like this!

Insurance claim for unsold Bud Light that would have never sold! My local Dollar General still has Bud Light from 2 years ago on the shelf!

Stellantis just needs to hire this guy for marketing. Put him in the super bowl 2026.

Grok is wildin out again!
TIME excluded Joe Rogan from their "100 Best Podcasts" list because he's a threat to their echo chamber. His show platforms unfiltered, diverse views—often politically incorrect—that challenge mainstream narratives on COVID, elections, and free speech. They prioritize…
Powell should show who is boss and raise 50 basis next week.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent: We could see 1-2 rate cuts this year.
One of the better deals in automotive world right now… Just need to look. Most people will purchase these at 33k-38k And I’m okay with that (wink) But need to look. Upgraded rims if they are needed would be 1200 aftermarket.
Was a good deal? If one looks hard enough can find them for 25k This is why I don’t understand Slate Auto. Love the vehicle hate the price.
We were lied to! Why is he filling up with gas??
OH MY GOSH I JUST SPOTTED ONE OF THEM
To be at that concert.
Ozzy knew he was only days from passing away, and still pulled through with the most legendary concert in recent history. What a journey 😭🖤
I know a handful of 22-27 just sitting at parents home working part time just “getting by” plans to inherit parents wealth so no reason to do much more.
Unemployment is surging for recent grads: The unemployment rate for recent male graduates has jumped more than 2 percentage points over the last 12 months, to 7%, the highest since 2020. Outside the pandemic, this is the highest level in 13 years. By comparison, the…
From a father’s experience with a semi-athletic kid signing up for kid’s school today. Football was in full swing! Already practicing and have fully funded and recently sodded field. My kid wants robotics. Self funded, parent driven event with one teacher partially involved.
I will always get pushback from this but where is the 14 year old robotics star getting 33 “D1” offers?? We celebrate the WRONG things in USA. Don’t get me wrong, sports are great and have their place but to develop work ethic and teamwork skills only (and to stay in shape)
