My two worlds collided in Austin.
Archer took its Midnight air taxi to the F1 US Grand Prix (Fan Zone + paddock) and mapped planned Texas air taxi networks: 60-90 min drives into 10-20 min flights.
Air taxi to the track > 2 hours of race traffic. Who's in? $ACHR NFA
Doing this now!
Everyone said "Hey Grok" was impossible on iPhone. Even Grok said Apple keeps wake words for Siri only. So I kept digging, and I found a way. Now I just say "Hey Grok" and Grok Bot voice chat opens. No extra apps, no cost, all built into iOS.
How to set it up:
1. Make sure your Grok Bot app is up to date
2. Shortcuts app → + → Add Action → search "Grok Bot" → pick "Start Voice Chat with Bot"
3. Settings → Accessibility → Vocal Shortcuts → Set Up → pick that shortcut → type "Hey Grok" and say it 3 times
4. In the shortcut's details, turn on "Allow Running When Locked"
If your phone is locked, iOS asks for one tap first. If Face ID already unlocked it, it's fully hands-free.
Receipts. 👀
Sept 4 I picked Kaden Honeycutt as my Truck Series upset champ (and grabbed him at +500 back in May).
Two races left. He leads Layne Riggs by 43.
Martinsville Friday. Homestead Nov 6.
If only my stock picks behaved this well. 😂🏁
NASCAR rolls into the playoff season and here are my upset winners for the championships:
Cup - @TyGibbs
O’Reilly’s - @Carson_Kvapil
Trucks - @KadenWHoneycutt
Called SVG to win at Talladega. He finished P29. 😅
Big One prediction: lap 86. Actual: lap 132 (and again on 183).
Kyle Larson takes it, and now leads by 73 with Martinsville and Homestead left.
My crystal ball needs a pit stop. Who called it?

$META is anticipated to sign another 150MW deal with $APLD at DF1 per CEO Wes Cummins, likely before end of the year (Wes has stated who the hyperscaler is, that is my, and others, assumption)
DF1 is scalable beyond that soon to be 450MW leased.
The Team at @APLDdigital has been quiet on another Alabama site, but it is a site that seemingly is prepared for a large plan.
Is that plan another Hyperscaler? $META? Diversification into another? Maybe something via $CHRN to an end user Hyperscaler? It's being set up with entities a little more peculiarly than the others have all been set up, so something is brewing.
The 250MW in leases at now higher rates for PF2 and DF1 will be a great announcement.
A blockbuster lease, at what I'll call DF3, will be massive.
The next big item? Getting a glimpse at what kind of financing $APLD gets on PF3, DF1 and DF2 with $META as the anchor tenant. Suspect that is coming soon.
A lot of milestones in the next 6 months for APLD from multiple RFS announcements, leases, financing deals and new sites breaking ground... recall Wes saw a path to 6, possibly 7 campuses in flight at a time... currently there are 5.

Talladega Sunday. 🏁
Larson is sitting on a 5-point lead heading into the one track where 5 points means absolutely nothing.
My pick to win: SVG (shock pick, I know)
Lap the Big One happens: 86
My blood pressure: 🫠
Who you got?
I love when my two passions do a collab.

Truth be told, when IRacing and NASCAR eventually renew their contract at the end of 2029.
I want to start seeing NASCAR Games drop before The Daytona 500.

High cadence launch needs high cadence testing. With more than 100 launches in backlog (and counting), we're building a new state-of-the-art test facility to accelerate static fire stack testing for Electron and HASTE rockets.
