What comes across overwhelmingly to me here is a sense of panic. There doesn't seem to be any confidence that they can build something unique. He's totally focused execution - on catching up with whatever somebody else released last month.
At least I think we can all see the monorail does have decent ridership, and the extra-wide sidewalks of the strip are relatively crowded, much moreso than typical in the US other than exceptional places like NYC.
I've heard there are long lines at the recharging stations between LA and Las Vegas on big weekends. Obviously that's not great in itself, but it shows that 400,000 tons number is set to shrink. Of course you'll still never beat a train for efficiency in moving a bunch of people along the same route at the same time, like for a raiders game.
When milk turns sour, it is undergoing a process of fermentation, primarily due to the action of bacteria. Here's what happens in more detail:
1) Bacterial Growth: The primary bacteria in milk that cause souring are lactic acid bacteria. These bacteria are naturally present in the environment and can find their way into milk from the air, from milking equipment, or from the containers used to store the milk.
2) Lactic Acid Production: As these bacteria consume the lactose (milk sugar), they produce lactic acid as a waste product. The increase in lactic acid lowers the pH of the milk.
3) Change in Taste and Texture: The increase in acidity gives the milk a sour taste. Moreover, the acid affects the milk proteins (mainly casein), causing them to coagulate or curdle, which changes the texture, making it thicker.
4) Preservation and Spoilage: While souring can act as a form of natural preservation (in products like yogurt and sour cream), further bacterial activity can lead to spoilage, where the milk develops an off smell and flavor and may become unsafe to consume.
The souring process is essentially a form of fermentation and can be both desirable and undesirable. In controlled conditions, it leads to the production of various dairy products. However, when unintentional, it indicates that the milk has gone bad and should not be consumed.
Toyota Cashes In on Booming Hybrid Sales
Updated Feb. 6, 2024TOKYO - Gasoline-electric vehicles are flying off dealer lots in the U.S. and generating a windfall for the reigning hegemon of hybrids, Toyota.
A couple years ago I was more bullish on Tesla leaving them in the dust technologically, but Tesla seems much weaker now after going all-in on the Cybertruck and now self-driving Taxis which they can't actually make.
