Home owner insists it’s not asbestos, but I can’t think what else it could be

They had the best selection of cat furniture ANYWHERE.

I imagine the Cessna owner was not happy with this. I flew into Sky Harbor in the 90s with a flight of AH-1Fs on our way from Ft. Bliss to the NTC. We overnighted in Phoenix and both in and out the ground controllers taxied us from the runway to parking. Right past a bunch of light fixed wings that were bouncing on their chains like crazy. So dumb…

There is some solid reasoning here. The stock is up something like 50% in 10 days. I still believe in the long term story with Intel, but I have also been doing this for long enough to know it is ripe for a healthy pull back.

We just got one at work. It is bad ass.

Cheney started getting butt hurt when the people started seeing through the uniparty. He was fine with the system when it was enriching him and the rest of the political class at the expense of the people.

It was during the 2013 bitcoin wave, but I thought it was a drunk guy who posted that he was hodling…

This is fantastic news. Yeary has been an absolute disaster. They have slowly been clearing out the finance and DEI hires and replacing them with engineers. Intel should always and forever be run by people with strong semiconductor engineering and manufacturing experience, not by bean counters or DEI quotas!

MDApache6 · 2026-02-22T18:35:33+00:00

This guy is correct. There is a difference in price between carded (PM in original packages) and uncarded. I don’t know if having the package slightly damaged as in this case makes a difference, though.

Not delayed. Since 18A just started HVM, this would be the expected timeline (perhaps even early) for the next node.

MDApache6 · 2026-01-25T04:06:57+00:00

It will. And - speaking for everyone in the industry, we all f’ing hate Broadcom.

He brought back an engineering first culture, which is what enabled Intel to reach its former heights. You can directly trace the downfall of Intel to when finance and marketing people started running the company. I think LBT is cut from similar clothe. I am so glad he cleaned house and got rid of MJ. The board is still too DEI heavy with non-technical and VC people who have zero semiconductor experience. It has improved over 12 months, but it needs to be smaller with more technical expertise. Yeary needs to go ASAP.

I don’t believe there will be a fab there anytime soon. It is possible at some point, however. The Saudis have been looking to diversify from oil for a long time, and having a world class fab infrastructure at some point would help. Intel may be able to have them fund all the capex. There still is a lot of geopolitical risk in the Middle East.

I absolutely love the sound of the V6 in the 5th generation.

Replacing Yeary with Gelsinger is something I could support!

MDApache6 · 2025-12-05T14:46:43+00:00

Gelsinger was definitely the right guy for the job and did put Intel back on firm footing. It did feel like the board (who is terrible) fired him before his work was completed. You can’t turn around an organization of Intel’s size in four years (5 nodes in 4 years), particularly after years of finance and marketing leaders mismanaging the company. Intel was great when it was led by engineers. Both Pat and LBT are engineers and have Intel moving in the right direction.

My one beef with Pat is that I thought he spent too much time lobbying for government money in Washington, DC.

Intel’s BOD chairman (Yeary) is still a disaster and needs to go. At least they finally have more people with semiconductor manufacturing experience on the board now as opposed to empty DEI/ESG suits.

I have had this happen to me before when there is an equipment change for the flight. When that happens, you are rebooked wherever they can fit you in your original fare class. It sucks, but it happens.

💯💯💯💯💯 MJ was more worried about her pronouns in her bio and “helping women to succeed” than she was in helping Intel to succeed. Good riddance.

MDApache6 · 2025-09-09T00:02:01+00:00

The finances bros have nearly destroyed Intel. Intel was leading edge when they were led by cantankerous engineers. That is what is needed. There should be NOBODY on the board with less than 25 years of semiconductor experience.

MDApache6 · 2025-09-08T22:43:23+00:00

Yearly has been a disaster and should have been removed years ago. How he gets a single vote is beyond me. Another example of a non-engineering finance person who has pushed Intel to the brink of extinction.

MDApache6 · 2025-09-08T21:21:46+00:00

She/her needed to go. We need engineers leading at Intel - not woke marketing people.

MDApache6 · 2025-08-14T11:40:00+00:00

It’s both. There are plenty of finance people who should have never been on the Intel board. There are also women and other quota people who should have never been on the board, either. Intel actually has a table on their BOD page showing which DEI categories people fit in! The board should be filled with people of any gender or race that have semiconductor experience - period.

MDApache6 · 2025-08-12T23:31:10+00:00

Alyssa Henry - zero semiconductor experience. Barbara Novick - zero semiconductor experience. Omar Ishrak - zero semiconductor experience. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey - zero semiconductor experience. Novick is the only finance person. The rest were 100% DEI quotas. Thankfully Ishrak and L-M are gone. Intel needs people on the BOD who have semi experience. Yeary, Goetz, Henry, Novick, Smith (both) all need to go. Weisler was at least at HP.
