  1. If you yet believe nothing, then maybe also wait to put forward any speculations and thus give them your imprimatur. And the Tucker Carlson "but I'm just asking the question" defense has been relegated to the trash bin of argumentation based on it's abuse.
  2. Tesla stockholders are already facing a long slow slide in their stock value. Getting into a legal war with their majority holder may not be much help.
  3. LOL - the tunnel has been there for almost 100 yrs. Somehow only today's players can't seem to share it. Heck - if football can't teach young men values like discipline (as is so widely touted), WTF is it even good for?
  4. this is why the 'public figure' libel doctrine in the US has to change. What ever happened to 'equal protection under the law.'? Why do I give up my rights to protect my rep just because I'm well known enough to have one? Totally nonsensical legal doctrine. Not to mention that the whole condept of 'public' figure has become essentially meaningless when a single instagram or twitter can in result in world fame in 24 hrs.
  5. Lebron James and Kevin Durant teams are a combined 1-10. Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
  6. According to press reports, Musk has tasked Tesla SW engineers to go in and vet existing Twitter programming. That should be an interesting exercise. Do they even use the same languages, APIs or toolboxes? I don't program for a living by any means but I still can't imagine walking in the door and reading someone else's code related to programing tasks that are not even my area of expertise and rendering any kind of intelligent assessment in less than maybe .....weeks?... Not to mention, what does 'evalutate their code' even mean? Code either works or it doesn't, style points are nice but the HW doesn't really care about them. It's seems all he is getting is some folks to tell him 2nd hand what they learned about what Twitter does, when he could just ask the Twitter engineers himself and probably get the better answer.
  7. Crazy 3rd period. Something like 3 or 4 minutes without a stoppage at the end?
  8. With PSU in the rear view mirror, OSU has a cake walk left. Illinois is left for UM but it's in Ann Arbor. Possible trap game but at least 60/40 both teams go 11-0
  9. you mean Twitter stock? But it's still Tesla stock that supposedly collateralizes his loans.
  10. Wings come out a little flat - give up a goal at about the 90 sec mark. Sort of right the ship a little and the 1st ends tied 1-1 on Raymond's first tally of the season.
  11. The game give M fans a glimmer of hope they can beat OSU while preserving the possibility of a meeting of undefeateds. Win-Win?
  12. link to freep story https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2022/10/29/detroit-tigers-mark-conner-scouting-director-san-diego-padres/69591321007/
  13. Only the very best bad fielders have the skill set to make routine catches look spectacular.
  14. Ukraine with serial attacks last night/today against the Russian fleet in Sevastopol. 3 ships damaged, one possibly sunk.
  15. given the size of the client base a couple of thousand in the ad sales staff doesn't seem like that much. And I'm not sure it's true they don't still need development staff; the technology both at the user end and the network end is contantly evolving so you have keep your product current for both the new consumer device tech and the evolving network evolution. You're losing ground if you stand still even if the user interface of your product remains relatively the same. Maybe Twitter's org is fatty, but provocative statements by Musk aren't any kind of evidence of whether it is or isn't.
  16. And the odds of Tesla stock regaining those previous valuations are about zero. If he hasn't already, Musk is going to very quickly come to the conclusion that it's more imperative for twitter to make enough money to support its debt service than to indulge his philosophical preferences. He really only has two revenue options: Advertisers or paid subscribers. Either/both will demand a higher level of content moderation than his supposed ideal.
  17. and a charter member of the Detroit Sports Name Hall of Fame.
  18. Speaking of Rasmussen - 2 game suspension added to the high sticking minor on Krejci.
  19. Wouldn't hurt as the Pistons 6th worst in scoring so far in the young season. Of course they are #1 in points allowed....
  20. Evening rivalry game for teams that don't usually play at night is an added wild card. Either, neither, both teams might end up psychologically drained spending the whole day waiting to play. Might be easier for M being at home, or might be more distracting.
  21. out of that group I think Rasmussen holds his own as a legit NHL player most nights. Lindstrom - not good, Hronek, not bad at some aspects but such a terrible passer - gives the puck directly back on his outlet so often that it practically negates any good dirty work he does down low.
