I kind of think our Commander deployed this as a 4/1 prank. Most of my GS-12/13 colleagues are retired O-5/O-6 who are in full beard mode.

Drove off the lot yesterday with a 23 Subaru Forester with a long term service contract. No pics as of yet I'm gonna have to get settled into it and get it dressed up a bit. All in all a positive experience, I pulled into the dealer with the wife just intending to look around.
Back to basics. A completely analog tractor built around a Cummins 5.9 diesel and no computers. Wonder if we could get an automobile/ light truck manufacturer to do the same?

New Tractor With 12-Valve Cummins and Zero Electronics Goes Back to the Basics
Ursa Ag, out of Canada, is building farm equipment that's both affordable and serviceable by independent shops.

Totally respect that. For fun, recommend you go test drive a new Tesla. The process is ridiculously easy and they'll give you the car for an hour or more.
Not all computers are horrible, but there is needlessly complexity driving up costs in the automotive world. For example, taillight modules with radar / lane change that have to be replaced at $1800 per unit if something goes wrong have superseded a $15 bulb that you can replace yourself. Or a keyfob that cost more than a laptop computer. Or a mild hybrid system + multi-cylinder deactivation + start-stop costing thousand$ all to meet ever increasing CAFE standards on most V-8’s with the eventual goal of banning said All-American engine.
And today is the 26th of April. 4/26. National Hemi Day.
