Solano supervisors say no to a shipyard deal for billionaire-backed California Forever

Reply in thread

I'm going to start using that word weirdo to whenever I hear 'California Forever'. That's exactly what goes when the name pops up. Ideas of CA secede from the Union, splitting the state into 3 states, and came to our small town touting "let's turn your only Amtrak station into a highspeed rail station using eminent domain" even though our town was never part of any highspeed rail plan.
Total weirdos.

Las Vegas Police Touted New “Bulletproof” Cybertrucks. The Only Problem? They Aren’t Bulletproof.

Fun facts I've gathered up...

  • 10 Cybertrucks were donated to Las Vegas police.
  • Las Vegas haven't noted whether to keep or sell them.
  • Any vehicle going into police duty must be "upfitted" aka upgraded with a police package (lights, siren, comms, armor, etc).
  • Police prefer a certain known standard performance vehicle specs for duty (horsepower, towing, speed, mass, manuvrrability, etc). Teslas are too young to have demonstrated anything of this.
  • Some out-of-spec police cars (e.g.- retired, siezed, donated) might get another use as community outreach vehicles (D.A.R.E. cars).
  • Article states an upfitting company named UP.FIT {corrected name} Las Vegas, aka UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE ®. They are not a preferred public service vehicle upfitter, as they ONLY modify Teslas and only Teslas for contract.
  • Sheriff McMahill is an uneducated media regurgitator.

Taking from the phrase "pork belly futures" to predict pork in the economy...
And taking the name of small laptop ram...
