@RealMikeWilbon There's nothing original about the "Original Six". In 1917 the NHL had 4 teams all in Canada. In '24 they added the Bruins and in '25 the NY Americans but WWII forced changes. The "Original Six" were the teams left in '42 after WWII forced teams to shutdown.

@SNYUConn Big UConn fan but UConn players aren't left out of the transfer portal and lots of money. Last season not playing at all Paige Bueckers likely had the highest NIL. DORKA JUHÁSZ who transferred from Ohio St. after her freshman year earned 2 graduate degrees and big NIL.

@LizGoesOn @nyjets @54Below They play Washington at home on the 24th at 1:00, so they will be available. I may be there on the 26th so that would be a very good day. (I've been a Jets fan since they were the Titans and played at the Polo Grounds and their star player was Wahoo McDaniel.)

While BYD does sell more "electric vehicles" in China than Tesla it sells fewer BEVs (battery electric vehicles). In August 46.9% of BYD's sales where PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) with internal combustion engines.

@dylanmatt @paulkrugman The main issue on which the right-wing Democrat Bill Clinton (and his wife Hilary) based the campaign was the pledge "to end welfare as we know it". Another major pledge was a "Bridge to the 21st century" and sure enough in just eight years it was 2001. 1/

@TeslaCharging @baglino According to GasBuddy, in Texas that $25 will buy you at most just 8.45 gallons of gas and with an eligible Tesla, you also won't have drive to and then wait in line (burning gas) to get to a pump.

No one at SpaceX ever set a 10 flight reuse goal. It was a media misinterpretation. The goal of multiple launches per day shifted to Starship. The plan for the Super Heavy booster and the Starship vehicle are that they will be relaunched within an hour or less of landing. 3/3

No, it is not true that "Originally, the company hoped to reuse each Falcon 9 first stage 10 times." What Elon Musk told the media availability on 5/10/18, before the first launch of the Falcon 9 Block 5, was different than that. 1/3

[Dink Singer @DinkSinger]

Musk said that the Block 5 booster would be launched 10 times with no maintenance between flights and that within a year the same booster would fly twice within 24 hours. Those were goals that were never achieved. The shortest turnaround time achieved has been 21 days. 2/3

Tesla Has More Awful News About Its Semi Trucks
Based on the two recalls Tesla was delivering Semi at an annual rate of 250. That is not awful for early in the production ramp up. Giga Texas Model Y production recently rose by 25% in about a month. https://t.co/GUSQFyAqW6

@annhcallaway And there was a piano bar!

WVIT might know where downtown Hartford is if it hadn't moved to the far end of West Hartford almost in Farmington. I guess from way over there all of Hartford is "downtown". 2/2

439 Farmington is not in downtown Hartford. It is in the West End neighborhood. Quite a few bears have been seen in the West End but mostly further north near the University of Hartford. 1/2

The last board member to serve a complete 14 year term was George Mitchell appointed by Pres. Kennedy in 1962. 4/4

Bernanke did not stepdown in 2014. His term as Fed Chair ended and because he served as G.W. Bush's top economic advisor before Bush appointed to the Fed board and its chairmanship, Obama replaced him. 1/4

[Dink Singer @DinkSinger]

Board Members are woefully underpaid so they can't afford to serve full terms. Board members including the Vice Chair for Supervision will be paid $203,700 this year. The 2022 compensation of the Sr. VP of the 500th largest bank in the U.S was $681,385. 3/4
