What are the odds that Musk will float Trump for the $464 million he needs to post bond? I’m guessing they’re better than 50/50. It must be galling to Donald, being in such a weak position that he will likely have to accept non-negotiable terms on a deal.
Dishwasher Update
I am waiting for the electrician or someone like him. He should be here this afternoon. The plan is to make the hole in the floor large enough to drop the junction box, then run the cable up to the new dishwasher.
Note the water damage on the floor in the second picture. I came home from one of my numerous Phoenix trips and saw water streaks on the wall downstairs in the finished basement. The Bosch dishwasher had sprung a leak, and it was replaced with the Kitchenaid that is now itself being replaced.

Their Top Priority?
Broken corporate culture. Profit motive. Stock price. Executive bonuses. Mismanagement. Incompetence. Oversight Failure. Excuses. Lack of Responsibility.
Those are the elements of what happened on Wall Street in 2008. Also Boeing, in 2018, 2019, and again in 2024.

Look! Up on the Screen!
Here we go again, waiting for the once-and-for-all best restoration of the Fleischer Superman cartoons.

One of the complaints with the Blu-ray set released last year was about inconsistent color, compared to the source material. On the left is supposed to be the correct color of Lois’ suit.
This screen grab from the new restoration shows the original suit color has been retained.
But hold on. Enlarge the right frame, that is supposed to be “wrong” according to some hardcore fans.
Now compare it to this screen grab from the restoration. It looks terrible, even taking the low-res quality into account.
Being a Patreon-funded project, I have to assume the source materials aren’t the raw high-resolution film scans that were used for the Blu-ray set. The Warner Archive team needs to be given the opportunity to work with those original scans.
