Anti-intellectualism’s effects are both large and small. This is the logical destination of the “shut up nerd” attitude wherein their ignorance and bad grammar are superior to our knowledge and proper use of language. It’s as if Sarah Palin had triumphed in all ways. {headdesk}

U.S. Air Force Finally Finds A Good Use For Tesla Cybertrucks: Target Practice
[…]
The Air Force is looking for several other vehicle types for this testing, but the Cybertruck is the only specific make and model that’s requested. Its justification for specifically soliciting Cybertrucks is not because of their nauseating optics, but due to the truck’s “aggressively angular and futuristic design paired with its unpainted stainless steel exoskeleton,” and Tesla’s “bulletproof” marketing claims. The Air Force is performing these tests as it believes it’s likely that enemies may transition to using Cybertrucks because “they have been found not to receive the normal extent of damage expected upon major impact.”
[…]
Beyond the two Tesla Cybertrucks, the Air Force is also looking for six black sedans, six white sedans, six blue or green sedans, five SUVs, five trucks, and perhaps weirdest of all, three kei trucks which the government refers to as “Bongos” for similar testing. What did kei trucks ever do to deserve such a fate, and why couldn’t all 33 target practice vehicles be Cybertrucks?

Are they used by militants? Like the Toyota Hilux? (They seem too small to cart around a 55 cal, but I’m not a militant fleet manager)

I knew that the Vegas Loop was bad, but I didn’t know it was this bad:
There are multiple branches where the tunnels are just single-wide so the vehicles have to wait for cars traveling the opposite direction to exit before they can enter in incredibly inefficient alternating traffic. And some legs of the system aren’t in tunnels at all, and are just running on public roads on the surface. It’s just so, so bad!

SpaceX begins offering Starship services to Mars. On Thursday, Gwynne Shotwell, the president and chief operating officer of SpaceX, announced that the company has begun selling rides to Mars. “Get on board! We are going to Mars! SpaceX is now offering Starship services to the red planet,” Shotwell said on X. As part of the announcement, Shotwell said SpaceX has signed a “first of its kind” agreement with the Italian Space Agency.
Racing the Giro d’Mars … The president of the Italian Space Agency, Teodoro Valente, confirmed the news saying the first Starship flights to Mars (which will, of course, be uncrewed) will carry Italian experiments. “The payloads will gather scientific data during the missions. Italy continues to lead in space exploration!” Valente wrote on X. Left unsaid, of course, is when such flights will take place. It is difficult to see Starship now being ready for a late 2026 window, but early 2029 seems plausible.
I am sure this will go well. Absolutely sure. Yup.

Welp, anyone who signs up for that gets what they deserve, I say. They are dumbasses if they really believe that we have the technological capability right now to take tourist trips to mars. People WILL die in this little scheme of theirs.

Lol, I’ll believe the going to Mars thing when they get a rocket to at least make it to a low earth orbit without rapid unscheduled disassembling

That would be step five or six of approximately 99 or so.

Pff. Whatever Musk is charging, give me just half and I’ll get you to Mars at the same time he does. Heck, I’ll even give you a full refund if he gets you there first, which I suspect is far better than whatever guarantees he’s offering.
