Fuck Musk and all, but "collapsed" seems a bit overstated. Their loyalty rate is no longer remarkably high but is still above-average according to the article.

Tesla’s customer loyalty peaked in June 2024, when 73% of Tesla-owning households in the market for a new car bought another Tesla,
...
The rate bottomed out at 49.9% last March, just below the industry average,
...
Tesla's U.S. loyalty rate has since ticked back up to 57.4% in May, the most recent month the S&P data is available, putting it back above the industry average and about the same as Toyota (7203.T), but behind Chevrolet (GM.N), and Ford (F.N).

Very, very rough numbers:
A recreational cyclist might average 150 Watts for 20-30 minutes.
A world tour pro cyclist would average 300-400 Watts over a few hours.

And then account for the inefficiency of the generator they are spinning.

Your average person could power a laptop, but not for very long. The battery in the laptop would help manage the inevitable spikes and dips in power output, since people are not consistent engines.

There are some in the northwest US. Mount Hood and Mount Baker both have ski areas on their lower slopes. Mount Rainier has one very close to the northeast, though not directly on the mountain.

I don't understand what the "Two Hands" sign by the customers crotch is trying to convey.

Okay, semi-serious question: would wearing a Phyrgian cap today be cool or cringe? It has been worn by so many different groups over the centuries that I'm not sure how it would be interpreted.

Sister Bear: You're hit! You're bleeding, man.

Brother Bear: I ain't got time to bleed.

Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin told WMTW-TV that use of E-Verify “does not absolve employers of their legal duty” to verify legal employment status.

“The Old Orchard Beach Police Department’s reckless reliance on E-Verify to justify arming an illegal alien, Jon Luke Evans, violates federal law, and does not absolve them of their failure to conduct basic background checks to verify legal status,” McLaughlin told the station.

So E-Verify is less than worthless. It provides no assurances, and running an individual through the tool could presumably bring them to ICE's attention.

It's mid-summer, and for some reason I had a moment of nostalgia for gray, cold, rainy days. If you're like me, here's a reminder of what we can look forward to in a few months...

The rain continues, with Tremendious gusts of wind, which is Tremendious. The winds violent Trees falling in every direction, whorl winds, with gusts of rain Hail & Thunder, This kind of weather lasted all day, Certainly one of the worst days that ever was!

From William Clark's journal, December 16, 1805, as the Lewis and Clark expedition wintered at Fort Clatsop
