Noped Out.

I was gonna go photograph the Monumental Marathon this morning but it was 34℉ out when I should have been leaving the house and it was eighty degrees just the other day.

I am not yet seasonally acclimated. At any rate, the Drumstick Dash is in just a few weeks, so I punted. By then I'll be a little more cold-tolerant.

Weekend Eve Meme Dump!

Tab Clearing...

• Tesla to wind down production of the Cybertruck, aka the Incel Camino or the Electric Edsel.


• Radio waves from your wifi router can be used to identify where you are in your home, as well as mapping you well enough for an AI to identify who you are.


• Rep. Thomas Massie [R-KY] to force a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth when Congress reconvenes next week.

Finally

Feeling almost all the way back to normal after whatever sort of illness had floored me. Probably the flu. I usually put off a flu shot until later in the season but this was apparently not a good year to do that.

Ah, well.

Memes For The Midweek!

Tab Clearing...

• After recent PLAN live fire exercises in the area, an object turned up on the beach in Papua New Guinea. The Chinese embassy said it was probably a wine bottle and nothing to worry about. (The object in question.)


• Another warning that AI's financial rewards aren't being reaped by anybody but AI companies.


• A defense contractor gave their personal AI agent access to sensitive Pentagon systems.

Update...

Still feeling ookie.

I'm gonna take some DayQuil, go vote, and crawl back into bed.

Ugh.

I am sick unto death.

Plus, it's been a weekend around here.

Automotif DCXLI...

1976 was the last year before General Motors downsized their full-size cars. This '76 Chevrolet Caprice Classic rode on a 121.5" wheelbase, stretched 222.9" bumper to bumper, and weighed over 4300 pounds. That's longer than a regular cab standard-bed Silverado and only a couple hundred pounds lighter.
