IMHO, it's FUD.

Telo and Slate have gotten a fair amount of attention lately for their pledge to create small EV trucks. So before this gets out-of-hand, Ford is announcing that they, too, will be jumping on the bandwagon and creating a small inexpensive truck.

The goal, like any FUD, is to freeze the market. "Gosh, I'd love a small truck. But I've never heard of Telo or Slate. Maybe I'll wait to see what Ford comes up with..." Ford just sits there saying, "Yeah, you don't want to buy from those weird no-name companies, you want to wait and see what we're doing. It'll be awesome!" and delays and delays until Telo and/or Slate go belly up. Then they drop the whole thing, saying, "See? Those guys went out of business. I guess there just isn't enough demand for small pick-up trucks..."

Actually, you're talking about AirDrop--a registered trademark of Apple, Inc.

I was thinking more of an iPhone 17 flying through the air while dropping it's Physical SIM Slot around the world.

Personally, I take it off and charge it an hour or two before bed.

I think you mean, "Morans."

Yes! It's wonderful, isn't it!

Honestly, I quit after T2. Especially when I saw the original ending, which I figured made it clear. All this running around in alternate universes and the like? Not interested.

That said, having cable, I've seen bits of Terminator 3, Terminator: Salvation, Genisys, and Dark Fate. None of them made me want to stay on the channel.

True. But, if you prefer something with a bit more muscle, there's this...

Agreed!

If only we didn't live in the US, we could have this.

I dunno about that.

Here in the 21st Century. most people are listening to content on their phone. It may be music ripped from CDs, purchased, or streamed. They may be listening to podcasts or streamed "radio" stations.

I mean, about the only time I listen to the radio in my car is if I forget my phone. Navigation? Entertainment? Through the phone.

So, yeah, give me a bluetooth speaker and I'm pretty much set. Why do I need to pay for a Navigation system that I don't use? Why do I need to pay for a radio that I don't listen to?

I'm not sure I understand.

From what I see, NASA gave them some money to come up with this. It didn't work. NASA didn't design it. NASA didn't build it. NASA didn't test it. They financed it. That was about it.

So why is it suddenly, "NASA sucks, man! They can't even send a satellite to the Moon. Where's the NASA of yesteryear?"

It makes me think of a launch that happened back in 2014. Fox News loudly proclaimed how awesome it was that private industry was taking over these NASA launches because now we'll see the power of the free market versus the bloated government.

Of course, then the rocket exploded on launch and suddenly Fox News was talking about how a NASA launch screwed up and the gubmint can't do nothin' right.

Done. Though they didn't go into outer space. Maybe they were saving that for the sequel...

Personally, I would spend money to see a Thundarr the Barbarian movie...

I assume someone ratted him out...

Meta AI, Super Genius...

...with Blackjack! And Hookers!

You must be ecstatic over Fantastic Four bringing back HERBIE... :^D
