Elon Musk denies tweets misled Twitter investors ahead of purchase

Elon Musk says lawsuit over late disclosure of Twitter stake “makes no sense.”

@arstechnica
"Makes no sense," isn't much of a legal defense. Might want to hang back, Elon, and let your lawyers do the talking.
(Like this will happen.)

SpaceX video teases potential Starship booster “catch” on next flight

A booster landing would be a calculated risk to SpaceX's launch tower infrastructure.

We'll see what damage there is to the launch site by the coming hurricane before we put a lot of stock in it. Though I suspect, of anything at Starbase, the launch tower is the LEAST likely to be significantly damaged.

Lower cost? Proven reliability?
Say what you will of SpaceX and it's sketchy, blow-hard, probably evil boss, Falcon 9 is an incredible product providing great service.

So I just got back from a Menards run and I've noticed something fascinating:

Menards has always had a lot of store brands. But they're really pushing a new food brand called Marcella. Stuff like coffee, jams and jellies, prepared foods, sodas, etc. A lot of it is fairly unique - I bought a maraschino cherry cola on a whim and it was pretty great!

The weird part? They're pricing this in-house stuff higher than name brands. The soda was a tad more expensive than the Sprecher's next to it!

@TechConnectify
I'm reminded of when Kroger (or maybe then it was just Fred Meyer) had their "President's" house brand that was positioned as a premium brand. I do remember that their big cookies were awesome. Not sure if they were more expensive that traditional brands though. Long time ago.

Apple reportedly plans a return to chasing thinness in its hardware designs

Thinness is good, as long as it doesn't come at the expense of other things.

@arstechnica
Feels like "thinness" is a marketing buzzword that Apple's marketing department got addicted to years ago, and just can't kick. Somebody needs an intervention and a trip to rehab.

Adobe promises to “never” train generative AI on user content amid outcry

Adobe scrambles to earn back user trust by updating terms next week.

@arstechnica
Amazing how many companies, in the rush to stake some kind of AI claim because "latest marketing buzzword," and especially ones like this that SHOULD know better, are shooting themselves in the foot to get there. Of course, Adobe has a long history of taking its customer base for granted.

“Outrageously” priced weight-loss drugs could bankrupt US health care

Prices would need to be dramatically slashed to avoid increasing the national deficit.

@arstechnica
I'm full-blown diabetic and my doctor just put me on Ozempic to bring down my recently rising A1C. Would be terrible if a tag team of greedy drug companies, Tiktokers, trendy stars, and fashionistas ruined this for people who actually need it. Not to mention maybe toppling the entire health-care system, bad as it is in the U.S.

First Dream Chaser spaceplane needs more work when it gets to launch site

The rest of Dream Chaser's heat shield tiles will be installed at Kennedy Space Center.

@arstechnica
The rule seems to be, tile heat shields are HARD, and subject to endless fidgeting. And remember that a tile failure killed a space shuttle crew. 90% of the way on a heat-shield isn't enough, and nobody has really proven them as safe and routinely reliable. This remains a major challenge for SpaceX on their Starship as well.
