Florida man buys Cake's remaining US inventory of electric motorbikes | TechCrunch

The future of bankrupt e-motorcycle startup Cake is still uncertain, but the majority of its U.S. inventory is going to a guy in Florida.

Here's one scene cut from a #NASA video, made with images captured by #Ingenuity looking at a rock outcrop called Faillefeu, down at South Seitah, during #Flight13 on Sol 193:

@georgetakei I’ve taken ice in my water bottle many times without a problem. I’m told that’s allowed as long as the liquid is poured out, but I suppose a solid bottle of ice may be a gray area.

@slashdot The title is too long - maybe try this:

"Broadcom is Killing Off VMWare"

@mariapopova Great article!

“ I never expected the real world to be like the fairy tales. I think that I did expect school to be like the school stories. The fantasies did not deceive me: the school stories did. All stories in which children have adventures and successes which are possible, in the sense that they do not break the laws of nature, but almost infinitely improbable, are in more danger than the fairy tales of raising false expectations…”

Brilliant. A bot that buys/sells stocks after Congresscritters buy/sell stocks. It is up 20% during a period the market was flat.

@Wyatt @system76 Curious to know if you're running Linux on Framework, and if so how it's going. I'm leaning back towards System76 after reading some of the issues folks have had with linux on framework. Big fan of both companies though. I had a System76 Oryx but dropped it too many times. Looking for a replacement. Great experience with System76 support &c.

So I was watching one of Trump's lawyers outside the courtroom in NYC today, where they said something like "in 33 years of practicing law that's the best testimony a client has ever given". And I'm thinking to myself this isn't a stupid person saying this, but it sure reminds me of something ... something ... and ...

I realized what it is.

In the original "The Twilight Zone" episode "It's a Good Life" (1963), Billy Mumy plays a little boy who is described by Serling as a monster, who can kill anybody, create horrors of all kinds, simply with his mind.

And the adults all live in abject fear of being turned into something horrible and being killed and being "buried in the cornfield."

"It's good that you killed that, Anthony!"

"That's a really fine two-headed gopher you made there Anthony!"

They all said wonderful things about him, for fear of his retribution if they didn't.

One of the most famous of all Twilight Zone episodes. And there it was, in front of a NYC courtroom today. No closing narration by Rod Serling required.
