In the autumn of 2019, Amazon and Rivian inked a covenant-a pact to deploy 100,000 electric delivery vans by 2030. The younger company, still in its adolescence, saw this as a coronation. Five years onward, half that fleet roamed the earth, yet the marriage of necessity and ambition now shows fissures. Amazon, ever the pragmatist, has declared its intent to diversify its chariotry. “We’re committed to 100,000 electric delivery vehicles by 2030,” they intoned, a statement as precise as it was evasive. Note the omission: these are not “Rivians,” merely “vehicles.”
It’s important to note that not everyone shares this viewpoint. There are radical individuals present on all sides, yet the overwhelming majority of us merely seek to prevent harm, regardless of our personal agreements with their beliefs. Words may appear innocuous, but they have a potent ability to escalate conflicts unnecessarily and incite violence.
Let’s talk about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Seven percent growth in revenue? That’s the financial equivalent of a yawn. Seventy-seven percent? Now we’re in “should I sell my house and buy a yacht?” territory. And by 2030, they’re projecting $144 billion in revenue. Someone get this man a Nobel Prize.
But how does this relate to Nvidia? Simple. Oracle’s cloud division is the reason Nvidia’s GPUs are selling faster than I can say “quantum computing.” If AI is the new oil, Nvidia’s chips are the drills-and Oracle just announced it’s building a pipeline to the moon.
Which brings me to my favorite paradox: Why is everyone so surprised? Oracle’s been quietly building this rocket ship while the rest of us were busy arguing about meme stocks. If only I’d paid attention, I’d be sipping margaritas in Cabo instead of recalculating my retirement age.
You see, the reason for this sudden surge? Well, it ain’t the good Lord’s blessing, that’s for sure. It’s a little something we call an “analyst upgrade.” A fellow by the name of Christopher Dendrinos over at RBC Capital decided to double his price target for the company-from a humble $35 to a bold $75 per share. Why? Because he’s seen some “promising demand and growth opportunities.” Promising, mind you. Not a sure thing. If I had a nickel for every time I heard that phrase, I’d be a richer man than the folks behind these hydrogen fuel cells, I reckon.
Word has it that the couple is moving forward in their relationship, following speculations of an impending engagement in recent months. This assumption was strengthened when fans noticed Brooks wearing a sparkling ring aboard the yacht with the actor.
In every season of the Star Trek series, there’s usually a handful of comical episodes. Going all the way back to the original, with gems like “The Trouble with Tribbles.” However, this most recent ten-episode season featured four out of ten episodes that were lighthearted and somewhat formulaic. An episode titled “Four and a Half Vulcans” was particularly awkward, and even the holodeck “murder mystery” episode “A Space Adventure Hour” left us cringing. While comedic episodes can be a nice change of pace from the heavy sci-fi content in Star Trek, it seems like this year, they dominated the storylines too much – especially when many of them weren’t particularly good. We’re looking forward to next year’s puppet episode, as it looks entertaining, but let’s try to keep the goofy episodes in moderation, okay?
In her small-town upbringing in West Virginia, Sydney Sweeney’s character, Christy Martin, had never envisioned a world beyond her roots – that was until she found a talent for delivering powerful punches. Propelled by tenacity, an indomitable will to succeed, and an unwavering aspiration to conquer, she embarks on the boxing arena under the tutelage of her mentor-turned-spouse, Jim (Ben Foster). However, despite the fierce demeanor she projects in the ring, Christy grapples with her most formidable challenges outside it – tackling family issues, personal identity, and a relationship that might verge on life-threatening. Loosely based on true events, the tale of Christy Martin encapsulates resilience, bravery, and the struggle to reclaim one’s existence.
The cubic salt and pepper shakers look like oversized, 600 times bigger, single-peg LEGO studs, one in black and the other in white. It’s common knowledge that most folks use the white one for salt and the black one for pepper, but you could switch it up if you want to play a prank. The product description on LEGO suggests these shakers are suitable for all ages, so even your simple four-year-olds can appreciate them.
Upon starting, you won’t immediately be able to handle everything at once with Ditto. It needs to learn from other Pokémon first so that you can utilize these learned skills in creating your own unique “Pokémon sanctuary.” For instance, you might use Bulbasaur’s Leafage to introduce greenery into the environment or Squirtle’s Water Gun for watering plants. The more abilities you master and the more you cultivate your digital paradise, the more Pokémon will pay visits to you.
