Silver's wild 2025 rally (>150% YTD) is real—driven by supply deficits, industrial demand (solar/EVs/AI), & China's upcoming export licensing (Jan 1, 2026) tightening global physical supply. Shanghai premiums now $5-10/oz over Comex signal Asia hoarding.
But beware the flood of long AI-narrated 'Chinese insider' videos (e.g., 'Asian guy' on Currency Archive channel) hyping secret deals, massive squeezes & $100+ silver. (Smells like FOMO fuel.) They mix facts with dramatic propaganda-style narratives—likely fanning FOMO to accelerate buying/physical drains.
Examples:

https://t.co/A2WEGGDso9 ($80 in China premium explosion)
https://t.co/ISo4q0W8kH (Jan 1 'lockdown' trapping global silver)

Real fundamentals are strong, but these videos smell like coordinated hype (possibly influence ops). DYOR & watch premiums/volatility closely. 🥈🤖 #Silver #China #PreciousMetals

@Bubblebathgirl @ChuckGrassley I appreciate your stand on this, as I have previously asked you to critically assess your position on certain legislation. Pls exert your leadership to ensure continued progress.

@nicksortor We've got to take the wins. And we did. Keep truckin'.

@nicksortor How long does it take to wolf down a steak and three JDs? Why has this vote been stuck on 47-50 for more than an hour?

When you say without attribution, "At least two of Iran’s neighbors — both Islamic nations — already have nuclear weapons." I find that disappointing. I can assume Pakistan is one of the Islamic nations, but what of the other? This strikes me as a glib assertion. On the other hand, if you have evidence for a second, that is newsworthy.

From Grok, Part 2:
Given the current capabilities of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system as outlined in various sources, here's how such a scenario would likely play out:

FSD with a Deceased Driver or Equivalent Weight:

Driver Monitoring: FSD in Tesla vehicles, including the Cybertruck, relies on an in-cabin camera for driver monitoring to ensure the driver is attentive. If the system detects that the driver is not paying attention or is incapacitated (as might be the case with a deceased driver or an equivalent weight), it would typically engage safety protocols. These protocols would include pulling over safely and stopping the vehicle, not continuing to drive towards a destination like a parking spot miles away. Posts on X have explicitly stated that the FSD system would not operate if the driver appears incapacitated because it needs to see eye movement or signs of attentiveness.📷📷📷
Parking Instructions: The system is not designed to be programmed for parking at a distant spot autonomously without active supervision. Even with features like Summon or Smart Summon, which allow for some autonomous movement, these require the driver or a user with the Tesla app to be in proximity to monitor and intervene if necessary. The idea of driving miles away to park autonomously with no occupant capable of supervision does not align with the current design and safety protocols of Tesla's FSD system.

Handling an Occupied Parking Spot:

Waiting for a Spot: The current FSD technology does not include a function where a vehicle would wait for an occupied parking spot to clear without a human directly interacting with the system through the app or physically present. The Summon feature, which is the closest to what could be described as autonomous parking, does not extend to waiting for spots to clear over long periods or distances.
Operational Limits: Even if theoretically possible with future updates, the current system's limitations are clear: it requires human oversight, and long-term parking operations like waiting for a spot are not within its capabilities. The focus is more on immediate, controlled environment maneuvers rather than complex, prolonged tasks like this.

In conclusion, with the current state of Tesla's FSD system in the Cybertruck or any Tesla vehicle, it would not be feasible to instruct the vehicle to drive miles to park in a specific spot with a deceased driver or equivalent in the seat, nor would it wait for an occupied parking spot to clear. The system's design heavily emphasizes safety and requires active human supervision or proximity for any autonomous operations.

From Grok, Part 1:
The Tesla Cybertruck, like other Tesla vehicles, is equipped with features related to autonomous parking through its Full Self-Driving (FSD) suite, but these features have specific limitations and requirements:

Autonomous Parking Capabilities:

The Cybertruck can utilize a feature known as "Summon," which allows the vehicle to be remotely operated through the Tesla app to navigate in and out of parking spots at low speeds. However, this feature requires the user to maintain a relatively close proximity to the vehicle, as it has a limited range for operation. This means the Cybertruck can be programmed to park autonomously, but it typically requires the user to be nearby or moving for the Summon function to work effectively.📷📷
Full Self-Driving (Supervised): While the Cybertruck has been updated to include FSD capabilities, including parking assistance, these features are not fully autonomous. They require active driver supervision, meaning an occupant must be present to take control if necessary. The system does not allow for fully autonomous parking without someone in the driver's seat to monitor the process.📷📷

Recording Movements:

Tesla vehicles, including the Cybertruck, do record various data points for functionality and safety. This includes vehicle location, speed, and other telemetry data, which could theoretically include where the vehicle stops, disembarks passengers, and moves to park. However, this data is primarily used for improving vehicle performance, safety, and for potential use in accident reconstruction rather than explicitly tracking passenger disembarkation points for parking purposes.
While the Cybertruck can log its movements for these purposes, there's no specific mention in available documentation or updates that it records such details for the explicit purpose of noting where it parked after dropping off a passenger. The vehicle's cameras and sensors are mainly used for navigation, safety features like collision avoidance, and for the FSD system's learning and improvement.📷

In summary, while the Cybertruck can be programmed to park autonomously to a certain extent with features like Summon, it does not currently support parking completely without an occupant for supervision. It does record movements for operational and safety reasons, but this is not specifically aimed at tracking where the truck stops to disembark passengers. The data collection is more about enhancing the vehicle's autonomous capabilities and ensuring safety.

Thanks for these references. I have been struggling for years, now, to understand WTH has been happening with our country and our culture. Samuels' piece is the most compelling piece of understanding I have yet seen on this topic. The path to County Highway, also a new one, is a further gem.

[Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79]

When Pomona College students (and possibly others) rushed into an administrative building last night, President Gabi Starr told them they had 10 minutes to leave.

Then she suspended them and had them arrested.
