If you haven't heard "3 Feet High and Rising", you're really missing out. It's one of the best ever made. Was the first album I ever bought (on cassette!).

Wow, what an abysmal failure by UPS (or whoever does most of Amazon's shipping). You had one job. CEO should step down. He should have kept Bezos happy. Lowered rates. Lowered own costs.

Apple is pretty good at scale manufacturing and lithium batteries and metal and better at AI than any car company except Tesla. Electric cars are much simpler than ICE ones. So they have a chance...
