xcept we also won a couple of times against them. In 2018 as the last time. Just to say we dont always lose to them. That bald dude is me. My daughter is the 5th girl counting left to right. 3 coaches. Myself at the right. Head coach to the right of me and the coach at the far right. This year we are two coaches. Myself and another dad. we both share head coaching. we have a chance to win it all this year, including beating that rascal of a St Lazare team!

Somebody else can and will take his place... But lets not forget the shytty dialogue he had that questioned what 5 billion dollars could do for poverty... He MIS-DIRECTED what the intentions were by playing on words that 5 billion dollars doesnt end poverty. And if he was showed that 5 billion dollars could end poverty, he would sell 5 billion dollars worth of his own Tesla shares to quote on quote, "end poverty". well, the hypocrisy is laid on thick here: 1. He CANT sell 5 billion dollars worth of Tesla stock because Tesla stock is pretty much useless and quite possibly worthless... a) half a year later and he wants to buy Twitter for 8 times that, but cant... Solving poverty right???!!! b) Tesla is LOSING billions so the investors wont ALLOW him to sell ANY Tesla stock for Twitter OR for poverty... 2. Whatever amount he has invested in this vaccine endeavor, it will probably EAT 5 billion in NO TIME... a) according to his thought process, its USELESS to spend 5 billion even TRYING to make a difference, because he KNOWINGY MISDIRECTED the 5 billion dollar intention of TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND 5 BILLION DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE b) In actual truth, HE does NOT need to be INVOLVED in this as there are MANY PHARMACEUTICAL companies WORLDWIDE with ENDLESS AMOUNTS of WORLDWIDE GOVERNMENT MONEY FUNDING FOR VACCINES... ENOUGH MONEY TO CREATE CONSPIRACY THEORIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. AND DARE I SAY: RIGHTFULLY SO FOR ALL THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES???!!! yeah....maybe he SHOULD use ALL that energy in trying to IMPROVE Tesla, and let others find the solutions to Earth's problems. He is no phoquing saviour of ANY kind... Maybe he should try and save...oh...I dunno.....Tesla... He gives GREAT advice and solutions for OTHERS to follow, but unfortunately HIS own business endeavors are a phoquing mess... That is not a good luck for you or for him... His personal life is ALSO on twitter and social media BECAUSE he LIVES on social media... https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/elon-musks-trans-child-wants-nothing-to-do-with-dad-billionaire-leans-toward-support-of-desantis/ Maybe he could offer Marry Barra parental advice too on Twitter?2 points

And while we are at it, maybe we should just skip the part where Musk routinely spoke out against COVID prevention measures and shut down restrictions in 2020. Also skip where, despite the fact that Musk spoke out against COVID stimulus, his company still gladly took in $600 million for certain payroll benefits. F him and the hypocritical horse he rode in on.2 points

With all this blind praising of Musk, one would think knee pads would be a good investment. Exactly. "Support" does not mean crap in this context. It's right up there with "thoughts and prayers" after a tragedy. Just words with no substance. All Covid research credit goes to the folks who ACTUALLY did the research and made strides towards controlling it via treatment and vaccine creation and implementation. Musk literally did none of that. Someone must be on a "pay by the word" retainer by Musk to constantly keep bringing him up in different discussion that aren't even about him.?2 points

Id rather thank the doctors and lab research workers instead. THE actual folk that are ACTUALLY doing the problem solving and work to find a cure. Musk is just the story telling salesman employing the doctors and lab researchers.... Kudos for him....but no praise....2 points
-
Its not about how many entrepreneurial endeavors or how many humanitarian tasks entrepreneurs take on. Its how well they accomplish them. Musk not that long ago, a couple of weeks ago, gave a stern lecture of how Rivian and Lucid should take care of expenses.... He trolled GM for having to go though bankruptcy.... He twitted a couple of days ago that his 2 new factories are losing money... LOTS of money. BILLIONS of money lost... He also forgets that Tesla would have been dismantled a decade ago, just like how his then rival Fisker was had it NOT been for government subsidies to keep Tesla afloat all these years. He also forgets that he continues to GET government subsidies for Tesla to keep on STAYING afloat. If all ties are cut RIGHT NOW, Tesla folds RIGHT NOW.... Also...Space X, that loop thing and most probably this vaccine thing are ALL financed partially BY tax payer money. Its not so much how many projects he takes on. Its more about how piss poor his actual leadership is, how piss poor his decisions are, how piss poor his problem solving is and how piss poor his decisions to tweet about nonsense and bullshyte and how he revises history.... He IS great in telling fairy tales though... He gets politicians to throw public money at him because of it. Ill give him that!!!2 points

Thanks for posting. I love this stuff! I did get to experience the A-380 .... once. It was on British Airways to London, with a connection down to BLQ (Bologna). I am most loyal to Boeing, especially since I've lived within 20 miles of where they build their big planes. While the A-380 is interesting from some angles, the Boeing 747 is beautiful from every angle. I took British because it had one thing the other European carriers did not have - that last segment upstairs, in some configurations and which may go away, is regular economy. So, to pick out the seat and sit next to the window, I had to pay a little more. The landing is much like on any wide body, but the take off was weird. It seems to lumber along, taking its sweet time to rotate, and, if sitting upstairs, the whole experience feels isolated and hushed. You sort of have to look at the end of the wing to gauge what's going on from an upstairs window in the back of the plane. I'd say it's quieter than the 747 (even the newer 8-i) when taking off, but the noise level is about the same when at cruising speed. It would make sense to fly one of these jumbos rather than 2 full B-787s on the same route (like London to New York or Paris to Montreal.) But it would have to be close to full to have it pencil out. With Lufthansa pulling back on this aircraft, maybe for the time being, they've rolled back the clock. The 747-8i is now their flagship and the Airbus 340 is now the "veep" in their fleet structure. Lufthansa Group owns other airlines besides Lufthansa proper, such as Austrian, Swiss, Eurowings, and others. On Lufthansa and Swiss, one can fly on the Airbus 340 to Frankfurt and Zurich on select routes and I look forward to doing this, since the A-340 is a quad, is laid out 2-4-2 in economy, and is my favorite Airbus product. Here's a photo taken from the upstairs of the Airbus 380 of a Swiss Airbus 340-300 on a taxiway at MIA (Swiss sometimes uses a B-777 on that route). It took me by surprise. I wish I had gotten more and better photos of that A-340!

Not Irrelevant, he even says they might have to declare bankruptcy, that is very relevant to you bringing him into the discussion on Covid. He is distracted from doing the main job of running Tesla. Tesla Shares down 1/3rd this year alone and still dropping. Tesla Truck a no show even in Mule form Semi Trucks in mule form but years late already from delivery Auto line is delaying delivery due to of all things supply chain issues that he says they do not have compared to the Legacy OEMs. Vaccine is the thread here, but when one person throughs out a Narcissist that has problems focusing on the only job he has, running a company as he would rather be a rock or movie star due to his look at me attitude, yes that is the problem with Musk and why his paltry $5 million means little when he talks about solving world hunger? How about doing like the gates foundation spending billions to vaccinate children around the world to avoid having them go through what Humanity has already beaten. Let's also not forget that you yourself are not vaccinated as you have posted so why should it matter that he be praised for talking about covid rather than running the company he is employed to run?1 point

And we just shake our heads at the fact that A.) He is not an "arch nemesis" and no one is "jacked" so save the exaggeration and B.) that you keep on ignoring that his "funding" was and continues to be a drop in a very large bucket of donors who have done FAR more than him in regards to helping out COVID research.1 point

Not "anti-Musk". Most folks just aren't hurting their knees over his sensationalism. Sorry the facts above rain down on your bow down to Musk parade so much so that your only response is more trolling. Jack Dorsey and his $1 billion donation deserves FAR more credit for continuing and funding COVID research than Musk. Might want to watch blowing all that smoke up Elons posterior before he catches himself a case of recall cancer.1 point

MMMkay. Literally billions upon billions were donated worldwide in 2020 with the Musk Foundation contributing a whole $5 million towards it but okay, that research doesn't happen without musk lol.1 point

We'll one can Troll if one wants, but actually I take this as hitting the nail on the head. Musk should stay focused on building cars rather than wadding into the medical field on which he has NO FORMAL EDUCATION. Musk is showing his Narcissistic personality each time he attempts to influence the lemmings that follow him. Let jump down the rabbit hole then and push out the conspiracy theory that Musk is a Narcissistic Puppet for Communisim, controlled by China. ?1 point

Since the 70's Ford has had at least one SuperVan each decade leading up to the 21st Century. Yet Ford then went into a dry spell on SuperVans as the market changed in what customers wanted. Now Ford has revisited the SuperVan with a very modern 21st century twist in the AWD E-Transit SuperVan. First let's take a walk down memory lane in the history of the Ford SuperVan with the 1971 SuperVan, a van that many in the US never saw, but a Transit that started it all. We then move onto the next Ford SuperVan from 1984. Another European Van that was popular for Ford and much bigger. 1995 Ford SuperVan continued a full-size affair in Europe and this time tied up with Cosworth Then we had a dry patch as it took 27 years to bring us the next crazy insane version of a Ford SuperVan and this time it is an AWD Electric E-Transit as Ford Pro moves back to the mini-van format. To quote the Ford press release: The Ford Pro Electric SuperVan fully utilizes the potential of electric performance and enhanced connectivity to achieve the highest performance of any Ford van ever and underscore the company’s huge commitment to electrification. Four electric motors, a 50 kWh liquid-cooled battery and a bespoke control system produce approximately 2,000 PS for sub two-second 0-100 km/h acceleration. Performance from a purpose-built, track-ready chassis including components from the recently unveiled E-Transit Custom 1 – the first fully electric version of Europe’s best-selling van 2,3 – is complemented by Ford’s SYNC in-cab touchscreen technology 4 from road-going Ford models, as well as additional functionality to control the Electric SuperVan’s unique capabilities. The enhanced connectivity keeps the driver informed and enables real-time data transmission for remote vehicle management and optimized performance, just like the integrated services that can accelerate the productivity of over 125,000 Ford Pro customers across Europe. Selectable drive modes and regenerative braking technologies similar to those on Ford production electric vehicles also feature. The striking, all-electric demonstrator vehicle was developed in secret by Ford Performance and electrified rally and racing specialists STARD in Austria, with exterior design by the Ford Design team in Cologne, Germany. “We’re bringing SuperVan into the 21st century with 2,000 PS of all-electric power for unmatched excitement and unmistakable styling inspired by the new E-Transit Custom. But performance isn’t all about horsepower – the Electric SuperVan’s processing power means engineers can use real-time vehicle data to optimize its performance, just like on a top-level racing car,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance Motorsports. Ford’s first SuperVan was revealed in 1971 and featured a mid-mounted engine taken from the Le Mans-winning Ford GT40 to create a Transit Mk. 1 unlike any other. The formula was taken further for SuperVan 2; a Glassfiber version of the Transit Mk. 2 body was draped over the monocoque and 590 PS Cosworth V8 of Ford’s C100 racing car. This vehicle was later reborn as the facelifted Transit Mk. 3 lookalike SuperVan 3, powered by a screaming 650 PS Cosworth HB engine shared with Formula 1 cars of the era. “Ford Pro is all about accelerating productivity for our customers – so why not create a new Electric SuperVan that proves the power of electrification and connectivity,” said Hans Schep, general manager, Ford Pro, Europe. “This incredible demonstrator vehicle takes E-Transit Custom’s advanced engineering and distinctive look to a whole new level, and is high-speed proof of the power of Ford Pro’s connected services ecosystem.” For those that might not understand Europe performance numbers, here are the translated info: Zero to 62 mph in under 2 seconds 4 electric motors good for 1,972 HP or 2,000PS as they state Based on the All-New, All-Electric E-Transit Ford Pro Reveals Exciting Next Phase of Electrification Journey with All-New, All-Electric E-Transit Custom | Ford of Europe | Ford Media Center The bullet points of this 21st century SuperVan: Ultra-high-performance Ford Pro Electric SuperVan is an all-electric demonstrator inspired by new E-Transit Custom to showcase Ford Pro digital and EV capability Motorsport-spec suspension and brakes meet a 2,000 PS powertrain; SuperVan also features Ford SYNC connectivity, bespoke drive modes and regenerative braking Must-see van makes its global debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, UK, driven by Le Mans racer and electric record-setter Romain Dumas The Ford Pro team of Europe turned the customization up to an 11 with the 21st century SuperVan. They had the following to say about this SuperVan. Quote: “The chance to be part of the iconic SuperVan story and reimagine what it could be in the 21st century was a dream opportunity,” said Amko Leenarts, director, Design, Ford of Europe. “The fourth chapter of the SuperVan story is designed to be the fastest, most extreme yet while keeping the Transit DNA. The proportions are a more dramatic version of what we developed for the E-Transit Custom and the front light bar creates a futuristic expression, making the Electric SuperVan the absolute pinnacle of Transit design language.” The demonstrator vehicle’s motorsport-spec construction marries the E-Transit Custom floorpan with a steel spaceframe and lightweight composite body panels. A bespoke 50 kWh liquid-cooled battery pack is mounted for optimum weight distribution and a low centre of gravity and can be fully recharged in approximately 45 minutes using a standard electric vehicle fast-charger. The driver can access charging and battery insights via the in-cab touchscreen. Four electric motors together deliver approximately 2,000 PS through an all-wheel drive system – enough to propel the incredible van to 100 km/h in under two seconds and making it comfortably the fastest SuperVan ever, as well as the cleanest. Like any good van, the Electric SuperVan features a loadspace behind the driver; a door in the bodyside makes loading and unloading cargo easy, and Ford is developing a secure electromagnetic release system controlled via the SYNC screen. A suite of onboard cameras can immerse audiences around the world in the action during SuperVan’s impressive high-performance runs. As on the Ford E‑Transit, the driver can pull camera feeds onto the in-cab screen and switch between them to help position the vehicle. Ford Performance and STARD’s motorsport input is immediately obvious; the dramatically sculpted body’s front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser would be at home on a racing car, while the radical rear design’s cutaways and dorsal fin flow into the rear wing to generate downforce and push the Electric SuperVan into the track for more grip. The racing influence continues under the skin with unequal-length double wishbone suspension at each corner. Motorsport-grade front and rear subframes, uprights, and brakes deliver the braking and steering capability to match the enormous straight-line go. The touchscreen also enables control of the selectable drive modes that tailor the Electric SuperVan’s torque maps, regenerative braking and control responses to suit different driving scenarios: · Road – for rare cases of “normal” driving · Track – for balancing speed and cornering on track with racing slick tyres · Drag – for maximum acceleration on drag strips while using drag racing radial tyres · Drift – for spectacular drifting, agility demonstrations and snow driving · Rally – for optimum performance on tarmac and gravel rally stages with special tyres Further performance fine-tuning is delivered by an electronics package that includes traction control, launch control, a pit-lane speed limiter and three-stage regenerative braking to return energy to the battery – similar to the L Mode function on E-Transit. At low speed, ECO Mode keeps the motors at optimal efficiency, turns the regenerative braking up to maximum and cuts drive to the rear axle. For maximum speed, an E‑Boost button puts a temporary power and torque boost at the driver’s fingertips. A Tyre Cleaning Mode can deliver exhilarating driving displays; this new feature fully brakes one axle while spinning the other, creating impressive burnouts on the front or rear axles that help clean and warm the tyres before performance runs. Just like a modern racing car – and Ford’s hard-working vans – the Electric SuperVan can send real-time data to software for remote vehicle management. Businesses can use Ford Pro E‑Telematics 7 or FordPass Pro 8 to track the health and security of their fleet; similarly, Ford Performance trackside engineers can monitor the Electric SuperVan via dedicated management software that translates live data into insights on speed, lap times and vehicle systems. Beyond demonstrating Ford’s advanced electric vehicle and connectivity know-how, the Electric SuperVan is also a high-speed science experiment. Its demanding driving scenarios and unrestricted design concept allow Ford to push the boundaries of electric vehicle engineering and connectivity to improve its future race cars and road-going vehicles, software and services. So now that the Electric SuperVan is here, that leaves only one question to be asked, Who is ready for a Custom SuperVan themselves? This brings back memories of corvette Summer and the custom vans in that movie as well as all the custom vans we saw at auto shows. Could this SuperVan be the start of the next custom auto revolution?

Nothing is guaranteed... not even your seatbelt. But if you're healthy with a good immune system, your symptoms would have been reduced even further with the vaccine and possibly never have even been infected. One of my part-time remote employees had it a few weeks back, she picked it up from holiday traveling with a big group of friends. All she had was a scratchy throat and a bit of tiredness because she is triple vaxxed. The kicker is that now that you've had it, if you go get your three shots, spaced out appropriately, you'll be as close to 100% immune as you can get. unfortunately, currently, you are still vulnerable to a Delta infection and in a few months even a second Omicron infection.1 point

Without his funding, he's not doing the research. But I do agree that the doctors themselves deserve the credit. They don't do it for free though. Irrelevant to this thread, but Okay.0 points

You're going to go the route that some other doctor could just take his place? You're probably right and it's just that simple. This probably belongs in a different thread as it's quite irrelevant to vaccinations.-1 points
