None of that surprises me. The cyber truck is a flop so it makes sense to "inventory adjust" a week for them. And you can likely expect that trend to continue. Nice of them to give time off for their workers to enjoy the spring weather, right? 😉

The model Y just got a facelift, though. And whenever that happens, there are hiccups. That being said, you would think production would be going full bore for it from generated excitement from the refresh.They could have found a flaw that stopped production while they fix the issue, or it could be that the excitement that they expected isn't there. Knowing Tesla, it's likely both.

I'd prefer a khakistocracy.

I've done it before. When we were working 64 hour weeks? Fuck yeah I'm taking that time off. It also said they could use PTO. The thing is, everywhere I've ever worked, there was never just "one week" of it off. It's like one week every 4-6 weeks as it's slowing down. Hell, I'm on one now. It's basically to avoid layoffs and losing experienced workers.

Also, when you get a week off like that, it's considered a layoff. So you can apply for unemployment for that time. If you keep calling in and reporting your working hours during the time that you're back, you don't have to refile for the next time it happens. Which will happen again in a couple weeks/months. The weird thing to me is that this is being reported on. It happens all the time, it could be for inventory adjustment, or because they're having problems procuring parts due to tariffs. Or retooling/maintenance.

My point is, this doesn't mean a whole lot as of yet. If it happens several more times over the coming months, then that means something. Especially since the stock isn't going down like it was.

Ironic, because the character baraka in the Mortal Kombat universe has bone blades coming out of his forearms.

This. Tear it down, clean it, put it back together. That's your last line of defense, and freedom. Know it well.

I like that there's a "wall" as you get higher.

Linoleum. He won't go down to the landing to the basement. He'll do one, maybe 2 steps. So that's where I keep his food. Even if I forget to shut the door, he won't go down there and annihilate the bag.

I spend about 10-20 mins on Snapchat a week.

That show saved him from the streets.

It's not hard, the guy has the intellect, temperament and reasoning skill of a toddler. And dealing with someone like that with that level of power, and psychopathy, it wouldn't surprise me if it feels safer to manipulate him than to work honestly with him. The only difference is world leaders are less exposed to danger by pissing off trump.

This is starting to feel more and more like the lion/tuna conversation in "the other guys"

Sounds like someone's missile defenses worked! Congrats!

And spending went up...

They love their ancient traditions, some of which significantly predate Christianity.

What could they get? Old rusted oil rig parts? They're not capable of living on land and stuff corrodes quickly in salt water without maintenance. They're not strong enough, dextrous enough or smart enough to get items in shipping containers with a padlock.

Or turn naive individuals into crazies themselves.

Yeah crush, but not hit. You need to hit things to mine in early tech trees. And hitting things in water is very difficult.

Why wouldn't a wing turn into a hand? Birds have become flightless many times throughout their history. Once flightless, the wing is completely open to evolutionary changes, it's absolutely reasonable to think that a bird that isn't using its wings for flight could mutate in such a way that's beneficial for other things.

I don't think someone's going to nearly get themselves killed just to remove a plane from inventory.

That's fair but cephalopods are missing out on a huge chunk of habitat space by not having bones. Yes the oceans are ~70% of the surface area, but a very significant amount of that is barren. And without bones, they can't get the force required to mine anything to make industry. I also understand that we're not talking about animals in their current form, but allowing for some amount of evolution? Well birds wings are closer evolutionarily to hands than tentacles.

Certainly they weren't mad or upset by that or anything.
