Do Tesla owners happen to talk about something else other than their car?

My dad says there will be a big market crash beginning of the next year, my boyfriend says it's next month... Everyone's been anticipating a market crash for the last year :roll: I'm more optimistic - maybe some market correction at the most because of high IR, but what do I know - I live in the forest and just had three deer on my veranda. At least I know who knocks over the tomato pots every night... So what does your glass ball or granny say? Let the wisdom of the crowd decide what and when it should happen.

BTW, some talks today were quite good. Kept me up til now :-)

IR is stabilising.
IR was too low for too long .. cheap money for top-heavy start ups.
Rumout has it that those 4000 IT jobs at Twitter could be done by 50.

And the headcount easily goes down to 2 if you dont account for people required to manage Elon the Diva

Do more with less! That’s what my CEO announced several months ago, and I concur it. I’m not worried about the unemployed Twitter guys - drinking hipsta coffee and patting each other on the backs are transferable skills if you’re a white middle-class bro. Personally, I didn’t experience more workload after that decision. Less meetings, fewer great ideas someone had on the loo, fewer parties… Being a very lazy person, over 3 yrs in one place (from startup to when we were bought a year ago), I reached the level of automatisation when crontab took over all my old tasks. I only check from time to time if the server and UPS are still connected, update something or take a look at time on the logs. I still have a lot of time and energy to explore new things.

How is it to have a nice booty? I mean it is probably frustrating as you probably want to stare at it all the time but you cannot for obvious reasons.

You can use two mirrors to check your rendezvous point. Roger that, sweep the perimeter, over. Copy, perimeters wiped, all clear behind.
OMG, why do you make me write such things!?

Have you ever managed to type in "distinct" correctly right away while writing a SQL query?

What is the position of environmentalists on nuclear war? Are they for or against?

And it will guarantee zero car emissions.

There must be a downside though(?)
