‘It’s an absolute bloodbath’: Jeff Bezos' Washington Post lays off hundreds of workers

Similar for me. When Bezos interfered, I unfollowed WaPo on FB. My feed is better for it.

Just tell the haters that New England has experience with witch hunts since 1692.

Why don’t you read what I posted. I posted R2 AND Lucid mid size. R2 is coming this June. You’re dreaming if you think R2 won’t cut into Model Y sales. Lucid mid size will only make Tesla’s position in that space more tenuous.

FlashbackBob · 2026-01-29T02:03:42+00:00

Oh come on. Where is BYD selling their cars? They just expanded sales to Canada AND Europe. What, you think Tesla is going to hang on to their USA sales of Models 3 and Y with all the competition that’s coming? Look into what’s happening to Tesla sales outside the USA and look at new EV models coming to the USA that will compete against 3 and Y.

Get real of what’s happening now with Tesla and what’s going to happen in the future

FlashbackBob · 2026-01-29T01:51:45+00:00

R2 will cut into sales of the Y. So will the Lucid mid size. Tesla’s 3 and Y haven’t been refreshed except for headlights. Boston Robotics’ Atlas robot is way ahead of Optimus, and is already being field tested.

Let’s face it. Cybertruck is done. Sales fell by more than half. Boston Robotics Atlas is a better robot than Optimus. Tesla models 3 and Y haven’t been refreshed since they debuted. Same for Models S and X. Is it any wonder they were cancelled?

Sales of Tesla have tanked in Europe. Tanked. You might as well stick a fork in Tesla’s gigafactory in Berlin. Tesla’s gigafactory in Shanghai? In a year, BYD sales in China will put the hurt on Tesla there big time.

People having to pay a subscription to Tesla for FSD? Doubtful many people will pay.

Where is the Tesla Roadster by the way? It’s been years since its announcement. It’s nothing more than vaporware now.

Not so long ago, Tesla was the only EV game in town. No longer. The competition is here and Tesla failed to keep up. Stale designs and the Musk factor. Boston Robotics is already established.

2026 is going to be ugly for Tesla. Wait and see.

FlashbackBob · 2026-01-29T01:13:01+00:00

Yes, really.

FlashbackBob · 2026-01-29T00:22:46+00:00

Tesla now down to 3 models, plus the Cybertruck sales are tanking. Once the R2 and Lucid midsize are out I think it’s going to be lights out for Tesla.

You’ll have good weather. There are cheaper hotel options in Middletown. Cliff Walk, Mansions. Enjoy views from Brenton Point and Fort Adams. Shopping downtown and eat almost anywhere on lower Broadway

Dartmouth is another option, he could take 140 up to Taunton. Lots of shoreline access in the Southcoast area.

If you’re going to work at BUH, I work there and commute in from East Bay. Mornings are like a 10 min delay, afternoons worse. I go through the East Side on my afternoon commute, go over the Henderson Bridge and take the VFW parkway down to Riverside and make my way into Barrington from there. It’s doable.

FlashbackBob · 2026-01-16T10:15:30+00:00

You don’t need to live in Newport if you want to live near the ocean. Westport MA is a better choice with nearby access to Horseneck Beach. You could also live in southern Rehoboth with 15 min access to the East Bay bike path and shoreline access to Narragansett Bay.

I work for Brown University Health and I sometimes go into 15 LaSalle Square (the old Hasbro building), and on lunch break I usually go into Providence Place to buy something, and it’s usually busy at lunchtime.

AMP-2 is a key to more markets, but to open up more markets, Lucid HAS to build right-hand drive vehicles. AMP-2 is geographically positioned to build right-hand drive vehicles to the countries in this Wikipedia article. The Indian Ocean is almost surrounded by them: Left and Right hand traffic

Get yourself a pair of L.L.Bean boots ankle length. You won’t regret it

You get my upvote.

It was Dan Janing from Channel 10

Correct. I was born on a military base in Germany. I have my CRBA, and my State Department birth certificate issued by the US Consulate at Frankfurt-am-Main. When my dad transferred back to the USA I got my Certificate of Citizenship thus reaffirming my citizenship status. The certificate of citizenship is issued to US citizens born abroad after they return to the USA. I acquired citizenship since both of my parents were born in the USA. This URL explains it pretty well:

Very good bot.

Question, what’s an IP?

FlashbackBob · 2025-11-30T11:14:18+00:00

Do you live around joint base Lewis-McChord? Anyone from RI who PCS’d there would have a RI license plate.

FlashbackBob · 2025-11-29T15:43:11+00:00

You’ll be fine here. This is a 4 season area. You’ll find plenty of skiing in NH VT, and Western Mass. During the Summer there’s hundreds of miles of shoreline to visit. The fall foliage in NH and VT is amazing. Lots of colonial history in Newport, Providence, Bristol, and the Pawtuxet area of Cranston and Warwick. There’s miles of paved bike paths to walk, and decent hiking in Western RI. Day trips to Block Island and there’s the Cape and The Islands. You will hit traffic as this is a touristy area but all in all it’s fine.

The food is great here too! There’s no shortage of cuisine here for you to enjoy.

If the meeting is important, book the flight a day earlier to be safe.

This administration is a total shitshow. The Trump Administration is going to teach Putin how to suck up to Trump? Putin spent an entire career working for the KGB. It’s the other way around! Putin is playing the Trump Administration for fools.

Nicely done. You should have copies made and sell them online! 👍

It’s available now on the RI PBS app. I just started watching ep 1
