End-Of-Week Memes!

Automotif DCXL...

Rubber bumpers at both ends, recessed rear window, and checkered flags on the fender rather than a "Stingray" badge mark this as a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette in Corvette Bright Yellow.

The hood badge proclaims the presence of the optional L82 performance engine, which was at something of a Malaise Era nadir for the '76-'77 model years, producing only 205 horsepower.

Snapped with a Nikon Zfc and Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens.

Automotif DCXXXIX...

Judging by the wheels, windshield and lack of a CHMSL ("center high-mounted stop lamp", aka the third brake light) this Guards Red Porsche 944 is a 1985 model, I think.

Snapped with a Nikon Zfc and a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens.

Gratuitous Gun Pr0n #268...

It's been a long time coming. Suppressors, as well as short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and AOWs are (at least for now) over-the-counter purchases from an FFL in Indiana. Walk into Indy Arms Co., do a NICS check*, and walk out with an AAC Ti-Rant 9S to screw on an FN 509 Tactical.

*Technically if I had an Indiana LTCH issued in the last five years rather than the lifetime permit I got back in '08, I wouldn't even have had to do the NICS check.

Not Paying Off?

It appears that the only sector of the economy seeing big gains from AI are AI companies. If you took the "Mag 7" AI companies out of the S&P 500, then the resulting S&P 493 isn't looking so hot.

Needless to say, some people are getting increasingly worried that things are getting kinda tulip bulb-y out there.
