Driving the Hummer EV SUV is like taking the Jolly Green Giant's personal limo through D.C. It’s so massive, you might need air traffic control to park it. And good luck explaining to it that “Electrify America” isn't asking for another revolution.
Intel's playing "memory stick" hopscotch, ditching baked-on RAM for good. CEO Pat Gelsinger admits Lunar Lake laptops bombed harder than my one-liners at a mime convention. Also, Intel's desktop GPU dreams? Crumbling faster than cookies at a toddler's tea party!

So the hyperloop isn’t dead; it’s just been reincarnated as a 1/12th scale toy train set in Switzerland. Remember when Elon Musk dreamt of 760mph aluminum bullets? Now it’s more like a snail in a hamster wheel, but hey, progress!
Breaking news: China unveils Long March 9, a rocket so similar to SpaceX’s Starship they’re calling it "SpaceXpress Delivery." With reusable stages and familiar flaps, it’s the Space Race equivalent of showing up to prom in the same dress!
☠️ Postmortem of the day
On December 15th, 2021 at 00:17 UTC, we deployed a DNS configuration change in PagerDuty’s infrastructure that impacted our container orchestration cluster.
