Nearly All Cybertrucks Have Been Recalled Because Tesla Used the Wrong Glue which could cause panels to detach from trucks while driving
https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-cybertrucks-made-with-the-wrong-glue-hit-with-yet-another-sticky-recall/
What’s your point? New products fail, recalls happen. Musk just sent a rocket to the
space station and rescued two astronauts, and his company is working on a brain
implant that could restore vision to the blind.
It was only a small panel on a car, not on the Space X Rocket…. if the glue is faulty it’s the manufacturers fault anyway so BFD…. it’s barely even newsworthy.
I think the important issue here is that Doh has still not learned how to copy & paste properly (Only highlight the text you want to copy! ).
Congratulations on including the link tho, well done.
Yeah, never in history has the automotive industry ever had to recall one of their vehicles. You have reached a new level of ridiculous. Give up doh.

“According to Google…”
SMH
That you outsource your critical thinking to Google is both funny and sad.
What if I told you about a riot that happened at the US Capitol? Would you want criminal charges brought against them?
The democrat controlled corrupt propaganda media outlets already told us.
Thanks anyways.
And as I ask every week, and you consistently ignore, are there no Republican controlled corrupt propaganda media outlets?
Not in the way the democrats have used them to manipulate those that are easily controlled.
It’s only been 5 years and you still believe the 2020 election was stolen right?
Yes, and I believe that what really happened to Elvis is a big coverup. He got abducted by space aliens.
Hell yes they deserved the wrath of hell for all involved.
Are you referring to the 26 FBI “confidential human sources” who participated in the Capitol riot (or perhaps actually started it) on Jan. 6, 2021?
I am going to need a source for this one… MLA will be fine
Do your homework.
It isn’t hard to find…. and then you won’t question my sources.
I’m really not surprised you never heard about it on CNN or MSNBC.
Yeah! The recall of DA Diana Becton is about to begin! I encourage all people who have been concerned about their safety and the crime in thier communities to signl the recall petition. She got into office by a very small number of votes, funded by hundreds of thousands of dollars by liberal activists George Soros. (The guy who funded the campaigns of failed DAs in SF and Alameda counties- who were also just recalled because of their favoring the criminal over the citizen)
Badge1104,
.
Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton wasn’t elected “by a very small number of votes.” In 2018, she won by 17,000+ votes, and in 2018, she won by 28,000+ votes. Had she not been appointed to the position in 2017, to finish the remainder of crooked former District Attorney Mark Peterson’s term, by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, it’d be highly unlikely that she would’ve been able to win the seat outright. This is the problem with allowing sitting appointed and/or elected politicians to appoint “their candidate” to finish a term, thereby giving “their candidate” the advantage in the next election.
.
Some “news reports” have recently reported C.C.C.D.A. Diana Becton as being the “most progressive” District Attorney in all of California. If true, this would put Diana Becton far to the left of the majority of Contra Costa County’s liberal-moderate voters.
.
As with all recall campaigns, it’s going to be an uphill battle to collect the number of valid signatures needed to put this recall on the ballot. Should this recall make it on the ballot and Becton is successfully recalled, we’ll likely be in the same position as we were in 2017, and the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors will appoint “their candidate” to fill the remainder of Becton’s term, thereby giving “their candidate” an advantage in the 2026 election.
In 2018, she won by 17,000+ votes, and in 2022 (not 2018), she won by 28,000+ votes.
If your claim is accurate, then what it really shows is that there’s lots of local voters that believe in supporting and enabling criminals.

Democrats have been in power 16/20 years. It’s unbelievable to me that when idiots cry so much about how things are messed up, broken, systemic..this little factor is looked past. Donald Trump was literally elected because democrats messed up so bad. Now they just can’t seem to regroup. Will this be the end for democracy? Or just democrats? Maybe that’s what they mean

By my calculations, the Dems have controlled the WH for 12 out of the last 20 years, the House of Reps for 8 of 20, and the Senate for 12 of 20. Are you counting Bush Jr. as a Dem? Are you talking about CA?
My wife just commented about the news just now a bunch of whiney deranged Dem mostly old farts protesting Musk and Trump in front of the Tesla store in Walnut Creek. We’re actually laughing at all those crybabies.
These anti-Musk / Trump protesters are deranged and just can’t get over the fact that if they had bought into the IPO of Tesla in 2010 and held on to that initial investment for the last 15 years it has gone up 14,000% with 2 stock splits, yes 14,000%! So again I laugh at all you protesters I have recently taken my 15 years of huge profits with my initial investment and say so long to Tesla and good luck with bringing him down it aint never going to happen.
Close of markets today Tesla stock TSLA was up $29.68 /// 11.93%
What is the going hourly wage for Tesla protesters in California?
Since it’s Walnut Creek, are their meals catered?

I said it a few weeks ago and a lot of you all got to feeling all sorts of ways. But I’ll say it again. You elect a clown; you get a circus.
Today the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, dropped the story that senior members of the Trump administration planned the March 15 U.S. attack on the Houthis in Yemen over Signal, a widely available encrypted app that is most decidedly not part of the United States national security system. The decision to steer around government systems was possibly an attempt to hide conversations, since the app was set to erase some messages after a week and others after four weeks. By law, government communications must be archived.
According to Goldberg, the use of Signal may also have violated the Espionage Act, which establishes how officials must handle information about the national defense. The app is not approved for national security use, and officials are supposed either to discuss military activity in a sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF, or to use approved government equipment.
The use of Signal to plan a military attack on Yemen was itself an astonishingly dangerous breach, but what comes next is simply mind-boggling: the reason Goldberg could report on the conversation is that the person setting it up included Goldberg—a reporter without security clearance—in it.
What do you call it when one copies another’s words and uses them as their own? Plagiarism!
https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-24-2025
Do you allow your students to copy and paste internet articles and them turn them in for credit? Or do you fail the student because they are breaking the law?
I would think that someone who is entrusted with educating children would be more inclined to follow the law, even when trying to score points with a “gotcha” post.
BTW, I agree with your stolen point. The addition of Goldberg was dangerous, stupid, and reckless. But your plagiarism nullifies your thoughts- because they are not your thoughts. Cite your sources when posting or the Mayor might just remove your posts.
Good catch Professor!
The easy way to catch Plagiarists is to copy a few words in the first line of their post and paste it in the search window, don’t be surprised if the whole copied posting appears word for word.
Easy to spot too…. when a post seems to be more coherent and eloquently worded than the typical contributions our liberal trolls usually shovel out here and all their typos are missing.
MDUSD Teacher gets an “F” again!
Oh, no! I got an “F” from you. Shoot, okay. I will cite all my sources from now on. But any academic would have seen my formatting and knew it was not my writing. But don’t worry—I’ll make sure you can access my ideas and my sources from now on.
Do you have a citation preference? I’d be glad to accommodate you.
But can you admit this was a big-time screw-up for the Trump administration?
I can’t see how it would happen by accident.
I’ll reserve judgement until they figure it out or at least provide a reasonable explanation, it smells like a setup.
I haven’t seen a transcript or heard exactly what they discussed either.
My only real concern is that they don’t let it happen again.
It obviously is not a very secure way to discuss sensitive information, classified or not.
Why spend all that money on sensitive compartmented information facilities & then they don’t use them?… unless the info really wasn’t that sensitive.
I often copy passages, like from the Constitution, and do not cite my sources, but I can start if it will make you all happy. The formatting alone should have given away the fact that I pasted it. But ok, I will cite all my sources from now on. No problem.
But maybe focus on the fact that it happened, not that I did not cite my sources. But ok I got you…. Cite my sources..
@Teacher
You cheated and got caught. No need to be so pissy.
Isn’t it just possible that two people had the exact same thought and wrote it out precisely the same?…… nah!

I appreciate your apology. Not as full throated as I would like, but still an admission of a mistake. Thank you.
The administration made a big mistake here. Lying about it just makes it much worse. Maybe we’ll see a mea culpa from them but I really doubt it. My hope is that they also learn from their mistakes. Either way, this will blow over soon and Jaime Raskin will find something else to be outraged about.
I notice that you used the word ‘copy’, not ‘quote’ – interesting. Generally copy refers to plagerism and quote refers to something you would cite and then provide rationale as to why it is included in your work.
Additionally when one ‘copies’ the work, there is no evidence that they actually understand what they are copying, do you understand the Constitution of the United States? A quote, would imply some understanding, right or wrong, but still some.
Have a great day Teach!
The stunning incompetence of the Trump administration is once again revealed with the top-secret chat about the upcoming attacks on the Houthi armed group in Yemen. With a cabinet of highly unqualified personnel, we can expect more incompetence as time goes on. Buckle up, folks.

Here is an interesting article by the Dallas Fed regarding the Trump administration energy policy. Some of the hightlights are:
There cannot be “U.S. energy dominance” and $50 per barrel oil; those two statements are contradictory.
The administration’s chaos is a disaster for the commodity markets. “Drill, baby, drill” is nothing short of a myth and populist rallying cry. Tariff policy is impossible for us to predict and doesn’t have a clear goal. We want more stability.
I have never felt more uncertainty about our business in my entire 40-plus-year career.

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the first quarter of 2025 is -1.8 percent on March 26, unchanged from March 18 after rounding. After recent releases from the US Census Bureau and the National Association of Realtors, the nowcast of first-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth decreased from 9.1 percent to 8.8 percent. The alternative model forecast, which adjusts for imports and exports of gold as described here, is 0.2 percent.

resultant interruption in crude supply will cause prices outside US to rise due to
