NASA's Psyche mission is on its way to Asteroid 16 Psyche, but that might not be the only metal asteroid that humanity visits. The European Space Agency is considering its own "Heavy Metal" mission, which could visit asteroid 216 Kleopatra, the second largest M-class asteroid in the main belt. Although it's similar to Psyche, Kleopatra has a small, unique shape with two small moons and comes from a different dynamical family. Heavy Metal could launch in 2036-2037.

LMAO, Tesla owners have been saying all week that the reports of Cybertrucks rapidly disassembling themselves on the highway was fake news.
Turns out Cybertrucks are infact falling apart because the GLUE that holds the stainless steel panels in place can't survive winter temps 🫠.
Can't imagine any other car owners defending the car maker for their $100k+ ride falling the fuck apart every winter.

Tesla recalls Cybertrucks for exterior panels that fall off | TechCrunch
Tesla is issuing a recall for around 46,000 Cybertrucks sold to date because of an exterior steel trim panel on the side of the windshield that can peelSean O'Kane (TechCrunch)
reshared this
There's been reports for over ten months and the glue quality not being up to the job. While most of the larger panels do have a few weld points the rear quarter panels only have a few small welds with the majority of the panel actually being held in with glue.
reshared this
The panel thats giving the most trouble is a 8ft long piece of trim that runs along the top edge of the vehicle. Its ONLY attached with glue.
Viral videos for the past yr have been coming out with a massive rash of them throughout the winter months.
Multiple reports indicate this has happened to folks during rush hour, launching a heavy metal plate into traffic.

This excellent youtube video by a critical cybertruck owner goes over every major body panel which is glued on.
It's clearly possible to rip off some of these panels by hand.
Kinda surprised they haven't started walking off the trucks given how easy some of them come off.
Most panels appear to be easily pealed off part of the way.

So anyways, looks like Tesla has a Q1 quarterly report due out on April 22nd I suspect this will be the first time key investors really come to terms with Elon Musk's Trump antics.
Major investors are already sounding the alarm. I've been around the startup scene long enough to know the VCs are absolutely looking to can Musk. Musk is not gonna be an easy CEO to fire so they'll wait till the very last minute I bet.

In a striking change of tone, Tesla mega bull Dan Ives warns Elon Musk that patience is ‘wearing thin’
One of the automaker’s most bullish analysts is urging the billionaire to return to his duties at Tesla.Jessica Mathews (Fortune)
Dan Ives published this review of the Tesla stock below 👇🏿
He's a large shareholder in Tesla and suggests that Musk should focus on being Tesla CEO and stop working as part of DOGE and the Trump administration. He absolutely rebuked the "brand damage" of turning Tesla political and specifically called out Trump's Tesla purchase photo op as a blunder for the company.
I think Ives knows Musk as CEO is a now a deadend but he's a big shareholder and wants you to be his exit liquidity.
I really think VCs like Dan Ives just don't understand #TeslaTakedown isn't just a brand kerfuffle they can PR wonk their way out of.
Nothing short of Musk separating from Tesla will remove the stench of that prick playing a central role in a fascist project to destroy the federal government.
These investors aren't Musk/Trump cultists, they are capitalist. They will eventually kickout Musk to try and save Tesla, so I hope the #teslatakedown keeps up the pressure.
If Musk's antics weren't enough, the free market really is not swinging in Tesla's favor like it used to.
All the major car makers have been taking their time to learn the EV market and a LOT of the older companies finally starting to fire on all cylinders with EV strategy.
China remains the elephant in the room. Upstart EV company Byd released their latest lineup this week and get very positive reviews.

On the heels of all this bad news rumours are swirling that Tesla investors and insiders are offloading shares.
Prompting Musk to hold an all hands begging Tesla employees to stop selling shares of the company:
“If you read the news, it feels like Armageddon. I can’t walk past a TV without seeing a Tesla on fire,” he said. “I understand if you don’t want to buy our product, but you don’t have to burn it down. That’s a bit unreasonable.”
During last weekend's Tesla Takedown protests, a Tesla customer was seen exiting a Kansas Tesla dealership to do multiple Nazi salutes in front of a cybertruck.
The Nazicar loving Nazi then tried to get protesting soccer moms with their kids to fight him while claiming to be a former US military service member.
Eventually a woman, presumably his wife, was seen dragging the hate filled Tesla customer back into the dealership.
#TeslaTakedown #Tesla #nazicar #KansasCity #Kansas
When the crowd of protesters accused the Tesla customer of supporting a Nazi and possibly being one, the man replied "Yeah!" and did the deed.
The man goes on to explain the reason he is buying a Tesla is specifically due to the anti-fasicst protests and to support Musk.
Original footage of the encounter was uploaded to YouTube.

Reading the details of how and why Tesla is being locked out of current and future Canadian EV tax incentives reveals a possibly jaw dropping attempt by Tesla at fraud.
Canada's iZEV rebate program was winding down unexpectedly early this January. Some how in a 3day span four Tesla dealerships claimed to have sold an astronomical 1 car every two minutes, clearing out the remaining rebate funds.

And just like the story in Canada, there may have been additional Teslas torched recently.
Authorities initially reported the fire from a week ago as an electrical fire and not arson as it involved a few different brands of used cars including some Teslas. Now ppl are wondering if the Teslas were targeted.
Teslas may be getting extra hear in Italy due to their conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's close relationship with Elon Musk.

If the brand damage of burning Teslas stealing headlines worldwide weren't bad enough, then today's news that Elon Musk and one of his partner's got into a messy relationship dispute on his zombie Twitter platform X.
It all started when Ashely St Claire posted a video on X showing her selling her Tesla and complaining about the billionaire's fight for lower child support for his 14th child.

If an employee of a company creates a public nuisance of themselves that ends up reflecting poorly on the company, the company has the legitimate moral and legal authority to terminate that employee's relationship with the company.
Musk has always been an asshole, but now he thinks he's the ruler of the world, and no right-minded person wants anything to do with anything he touches.
Tesla's saving grace is, Musk is just the money man, not the inventor.
Yea I guess the question for investors is do they stoke a panic exiting their positions, and self fulfilling Ives' "black swan event" or do they worry about sunk costs and go all in on Musk.
The middle road imo count's on how many sharks Tesla's top engineering teams and business leaders have. Is there a 2nd in command that can keep investors fired up and want the CEO seat or at least Musk gone?
This is the time the internal politics could get spicy at an org like that
@Flisty I am generally against cars, because the word "car" carries connotations of high speed and long distance, luxury and prestige that is exactly what our world doesn't need, but I do recognise the need for motorized transport of some kind, just lower speed, shorter range, smaller size and weight, cheaper, and more recyclable.
The Citroën Ami quadricycle is the kind of car that works for me.

All meeting rooms should have one of these (or something like it) with the audible alarm set to trigger at like 1k PPM CO2. "Alarm's gone off, everyone out, the meeting's over."
(I don't take mine to the office any more but I did for a bit and it was reasonably okay. But I have a nice office and there aren't many people in it. Even if we can't open the windows, unlike some other buildings around here.)

The image depicts a fantasy character standing in a dynamic pose. The character is wearing a detailed, ornate suit of armor primarily in shades of purple and gold, with fur accents on the shoulders. The armor is designed with intricate patterns and includes shoulder guards, a chest plate, and gauntlets. The character has green skin and white hair styled in braids. In their right hand, they hold a large, curved blade with a gold hilt, while their left hand grasps a spiked ball and chain weapon. The character also holds a white mask with blue eye designs in their left hand. The background is a gradient of dark teal, emphasizing the character's presence. The character's stance is confident, with one leg slightly forward, suggesting readiness for action. The overall composition highlights the character's strength and the detailed craftsmanship of their armor.

Finland ranked happiest country in the world as US falls to its lowest-ever position
A new global report says that people in Finland are the happiest in the world. The northern European country is leading the world in happiness for the eighth year in a row.Kirsten Grieshaber (AP News)
I am always a little wary of these ‘happiness’ indexes. I think it should be called a contentment index.
I’ve noticed, throughout my life, that
a) real happiness happens in very short bursts.
b) it’s not something done to you, but something you decide to be in the moment. (And often requires us giving ourselves permission to be happy).
c) it has very little to do with your economic circumstances and more to do with relationships with self and other.
I’ve often wondered if consumerism isn’t the single most significant enemy of happiness.
When we get brainwashed into ‘aspirational’ acquisition or identification, the thing you bought that promised to make you happy always fails you. It’s never the right one, the perfect one, enough.
If I have to identify true happiness in my life, it happens with a cup of coffee, a friend, and a little sunlight. I’m here, with you, and for now, this is perfectly enough.

Use the works of authors, that are dead at least 100 years. Otherwise you might infringe copyright yourself.
Milton's "Paradise Lost" should be a good start. Mix it with Dante's "Inferno" at random should give a nice poisening.¹ Add other works at your descretion. 😀

update: solved by setting up solr for dovecot fulltext search on the server.
i guess this is not the ideal email setup yet. i have some questions:
- why would searching through email bodies in evolution block the UI thread? (at first, for like half a minute. then it becomes an actual background task)
- why does fulltext search take so long? when i had notmuch, this was instant. i wonder if i can have the best of both worlds somehow. searching plaintext should not be a hard problem in 2025
do you connect via IMAP and control the server? if you use server side search and it is slow, dovecot can use a solr backend that makes it fast.
Evolution will use IMAP SEARCH datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/… if the server advertises it. By inspecting the connection string (after CAPABILITY) or just looking at debug output as you invoke a search with `CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution` you can confirm it is slow server side search
RFC 3501: INTERNET MESSAGE ACCESS PROTOCOL - VERSION 4rev1
The Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4rev1 (IMAP4rev1) allows a client to access and manipulate electronic mail messages on a server.IETF Datatracker
docs are at doc.dovecot.org/main/core/plug… - there's a dovecot-solr debian package providing some of the config.
There's also fts-flatcurve based on xapian (what notmuch uses). I haven't tried, but I think it's simpler to setup
so you went with solr, glad it works! Has all the features. Can't remember if it binds by default to loopback interface. Here's a recent example that spends some afterthoughts on this and basic auth to cover all bases - notes.sagredo.eu/en/qmail-note…
