After Nevada regulators dropped a penalty against The Boring Co. from $3 million to $242,800, critics questioned whether it was enough to change operations at the Elon Musk-led company, which was valued at $7 billion in 2023.

Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Accused of Nearly 800 Environmental Violations on Las Vegas Project

Nevada could’ve fined the company more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

FLINTSTONES PUSH UPS were always a top-tier dessert. These are technically still available as a plain Nestle product, but with no Flintstones themed flavors like "Lime Rock Lime," you know they couldn't possibly taste as good. (1989)

A polished red granite headstone shaped like an open book, engraved with the name “Jennifer P. Ferrante” and the words “Cookie Book.” The stone includes her birth and death dates, October 2, 1964 – August 26, 2019, and stands upright on a matching granite base on a grassy cemetery plot.

The back of the same red granite book-shaped headstone, engraved with a full chocolate chip cookie recipe listing ingredients and baking instructions at 375°F for 9 to 11 minutes.

Photo of a vintage book cover featuring Dracula dropping gold coins onto his pile of gold coins, he’s smiling as he clearly is a greedy individual. A full skeleton lays on the pile of gold, perhaps it is one of his girlfriends. A naked woman looms in the background for some reason. Copy and title read:

Dracula made a fortune off of Frankenstein's feet without his permission and he is a disgusting piece of garbage for that

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

While it's possible it's over performing on Hulu, the current season of THE GOLDEN BACHELOR is off to a shaky start for ABC.

The show's Oct. 1 episode averaged a 0.21 in A18-49 even after three days of DVR replays, finishing last behind EVERY other show on the Big 4 nets that Wednesday
