Too Big to Fail @toobigtofail.bsky.social · 16h

As both a certified CAR GUY and an economist-ish, I cannot imagine a headline more designed to drive me, personally, insane. This "flying car" technology is neither new nor novel. It is not practical and would not sell. Let me tell a story of actually useful car tech that never made it to market.

Peach, apple and pear seasons go the same way in North Central WA. Everyone wants to give you fruit! Who's supposed to eat it all?

We provide candidates with a variety of beverages. Not sure why Kai is so concerned about this. I wouldn't care.

Today in 1955, the Soviet Union conducted its first nuclear test at the arctic archipelago of Novaya Zemlya, a 3.5-kiloton shallow underwater explosion to assess the effects of a nuclear torpedo on 30 ships and submarines, similar to the US Crossroads BAKER test at Bikini Atoll on July 25, 1946.

A black and white screenshot from an official Soviet film of the nuclear torpedo used in this test being lowered into position from a ship.

The shockwave on the surface of the Barents Sea racing away from the point of detonation is the light-colored area behind and under the cloud.

The CN Tower and downtown buildings at sunrise. Taken over the train tracks with a GO train pulling in. The sun sits just over the horizon in the gap in buildings over the train tracks.

Blackberries only seem free. In truth, they extract payment in blood and pain.

The important thing to know about boots is that Dr. Martens was bought by a private equity firm a while back, the boots are now garbage in terms of construction quality, but Solovair set up to make similar boots on the old equipment in the old factory and their versions are much better quality.
