https://www.wsj.com/business/logistics/truckers-tesla-fans-semi-b0a66e6e?mod=Searchresults&pos=1&page=1 This summer, after years of delays, Tesla plans to begin shipping mass-produced Semis from its Nevada Gigafactory. The company is expected to deliver between 5,000 and 15,000 Semis in 2026 before ramping up to 50,000 trucks a year, according to a recent report by Tigress Financial Partners. Surprisingly, Tesla is winning over a hard-to-please and influential group—truckers. Truckers who drove it in pilot tests say they loved features including a centered driving position, faster charging and longer range for about $100,000 less than other battery-electric trucks. and Tesla produces two Semi models with ranges of 325 miles and 500 miles. The company hasn’t publicly stated how much the Semi will cost and didn’t respond to requests for comment. Companies that ordered the vehicles are bound by nondisclosure agreements. But people familiar with the orders say they come in at under $300,000, or about double the cost of a diesel truck. and And much like EVs several years ago, public charging infrastructure isn’t in place for Semis to make long-haul trips. While EV charging infrastructure grew in 2025, most public chargers have a fraction of the power needed to propel a Semi across America promptly—let alone fleets of them.

https://www.npr.org/2026/03/23/g-s1-114813/markwayne-mullin-confirmed-homeland-security The Senate confirmed Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Monday to serve as the next secretary of Homeland Security, putting the Oklahoma Republican in charge of immigration enforcement, one of President Trump's biggest priorities in his second term. Mullin won the confirmation in a 54-45 vote. He will be the second secretary to lead the department during this Trump administration, replacing Kristi Noem. He comes to the helm in the midst of a shutdown that has left 100,000 of the department's more than a quarter-million employees working without pay.

Valero refinery is a big one.

I’m not a kinder gentler guy when on the road.

I hope this shit stops soon.

We're #1! We're #1! We're #1!

I'm just glad they called me in first. Imagine seeing the hygienist after she just got through picking human flesh out of his teeth.

Yeah when you first open the bar it still has that protein bar "sticky" touch to it, but actually eating it... one of the least-bad protein bar consumption experiences I've had. I'll have one for breakfast now although lately I've been eating hard boiled eggs and an avocado.

I worked for a truly awful boss for what was an extremely long 10 years between 2003 and 2013, and so I'm willing to cut people a little slack. After he'd gone I realised I'd been suffering with fairly significant anxiety issues for over 5 years. Other people had got it worse - some quit, at least one had to take medical leave. We still talk about him now. His resemblance to the Lundberg character in Office Space was genuinely uncanny. [image: 1774262971039-828d87af-8482-452c-8282-fd7e4e810005-image.jpeg]

u could have said, "were u born that ugly or did it develop over time?"

@jon-nyc said: It’s short for involuntarily celibate. Dudes who can’t get laid basically. They probably need to look in the mirror then, to identify where the problem is.

Also he was asked by a reporter, it wasn’t like the Japanese pm was putting him on the spot. She was just the person close by to be rude to.

Oh yes, his head image on the small coins is awful. But there is something very distasteful and vulgar about this big bling image of him, leaning aggressively forward with clenched fists.
