Most people have no idea how far ahead Tesla is, because the cars look and drive like other cars. But under the hood, Teslas bear little resemblance to other cars. Every component is (or will be) re-thought from first principles. Even if legacy automakers had the will to start from scratch (they don’t), they don’t have the capability. One example: Ford relies on 150 separate vendors just for its software. Codebases don’t integrate and Ford has to get supplier permission for modifications. Just unwinding that mess will take years. I recently bought a new Toyota for my daughter and it was like stepping back in time. Everything from the buying process to the car itself is largely the same as it was fifty years ago. It’s only improved incrementally. Tesla has built a massive technology lead and—equally importantly—has superior economics. Cybercab is the first example of Tesla leveraging that dominance, but it’s still early days.

Ryan Reynolds didn’t come of age in the 80s and he grew up in Canada. 🤡 So allow me to explain: The 80s isn’t a decade. It’s an American cultural phenomenon that began in 1983 and ended on September 24, 1991, when Nevermind was released. It was a period of unbridled optimism and glorious excess. Just look at the music, movies, fashion, cars. It was a vibe. Of course bad things happened. Bad things always happen. But nobody walked around talking about “socio-political issues.” Algorithms didn’t feed us rage bait 24/7. There was enough technology, but not too much. There were no cell phones. (I have no idea how we got around.) We listened to radio and bought albums on cassettes. We read newspapers. Kids disappeared on their bikes all day. 
Malls were packed and local economies thrived. It was the high-water mark for human civilization.

This $100 piece of equipment can help you avoid a lifetime of back pain. For a decade, I suffered from chronic lower back pain. Then, three years ago I severely herniated a disc at L5-S1. I narrowly avoided emergency surgery, and couldn’t walk for five weeks. It was the last straw. I vowed to fix my back once and for all. I went to the ends of the earth, trying everything. The most effective thing I’ve found, by far, is the simple back extension. It strengthens the entire posterior chain, including the intricate scaffold of muscles that support the spine. Start with static holds. Then, when you’ve worked up to 2 minutes, start moving as shown below. Once you can do 3 sets of 30, start adding weight (cradle it in your arms). Do it twice a week and you’ve got a solid baseline program for preventing and recovering from back problems.
