Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. How Much Money Did Bill Gates (Allegedly) Make Shorting Tesla? Unsurprisingly, Tesla’s bad news morning turned into a bad news afternoon yesterday, with the stock dropping below $110 after Reuters reported that the company was going to extend its production slowdown in China longer than originally expected....

As Thanksgiving rolls around each year, many people take stock of everything going on in their lives and all they have to be thankful for. But why not try and incorporate daily gratitude practice throughout other parts of the year, as well? Keep reading to learn about ten different ways that you can practice gratitude throughout the year. 1. Keep a Journal One of the best ways to feel grateful is to journal every day....

The VA Lightweight Military Vehicle was designed during WWII and commissioned by the British Ministry of Supply. What the Ministry wanted was a car that could be just dropped right out of a plane, with a parachute, alongside paratroopers, who would just get into the cars upon landing and take right off, with no further assembly or preparation needed. This concept of a light, air-droppable vehicle is certainly not new in warfare, and comes up again and again....

As far as unique performance tweaks go, the big show-stopper is adjustable suspension height. Not only is the standard ride height 50 mm greater than on a 911 Carrera with sport suspension, an off-road height with an additional 30 mm of lift can stay active all the way up to 105 mph. Top speed is limited to 150 mph due to the all-terrain tires, but the launch control system gains a Rallye mode for minimizing wheelspin on loose terrain....

From a recruitment point of view, the Myers-Briggs test can provide insight into how you work, learn and develop, and what skills and personality traits you possess that would make you a good fit for the organisation. However, as an individual, the Myers-Briggs test can be invaluable in helping you gain an understanding of your personality type, what drives and motivates you, and what career paths you are most suited to....

Honda has been teasing its revival of the Hornet for a while. First there were the concept images, which showed a rather sharp machine. Then, Honda teased its engine, a 755cc parallel twin with 90.5 HP on tap. Yesterday, Honda pulled the covers off of its new motorcycle in Germany. The world finally gets to see the complete package, and its engine is the centerpiece. The Honda Hornet originally launched in 1998....

Thankfully, with the rise in popularity of mobile apps over the past few years, businesses have also been able to take advantage of this trend. What is a mobile app?...

Forex trading is an investment opportunity where users try to maximize their profits by purchasing and selling currency pairs.

Since the cut-e Aon acquisition, these assessments are sometimes referred to as Aon tests. However, a cut-e test is still the most popular term owing to its existing position and brand familiarity. What Are Cut-e Tests? Tests published by cut-e are designed to help employers identify suitable candidates by measuring their skills, aptitude and personality traits. They are used in the screening stages of the recruitment process, allowing the hiring team to narrow down its pool of applicants with a series of relevant assessments....

Before we get to. the Vagabond, I just wanted you to consider some of the cars I mentioned and am showing you above as continuations of the Vagabond’s legacy; cars that are shapeshifters, transformers that can adapt, physically, to a variety of different jobs. Hell, we even saw Audi introduce a concept car with this sort of idea just this week! Also, since I mentioned the Toyota bB Open Deck, I’m going to make you watch this bonkers commercial for that car, which is full of mermen:...

The SATs are standardized tests that students take in the later years of high school to help determine where they will go to college. The results are submitted as part of their college applications. Many students take the PSAT as a practice for the SAT, but there are many other benefits to taking the test. What Is the PSAT? The Preliminary SAT, which is also known as the PSAT/NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) comes before the SAT and is generally seen as a practice test....

First, something to keep in mind. The ID.AERO shown off today is a prototype, of sorts. Volkswagen is tight-lipped about changes for production, but it seems like we’re looking at a relatively finished vehicle. Key tip-offs include the plethora of cut lines between panels, the red reflector set in the lower rear valence, real mirrors, and what look to be street tires. I’d be surprised if Volkswagen changes too much between now and the start of production, so feel free to take this car as a general vision of things to come....

Detroit car culture is the greatest car culture on earth, and I say that as someone who has seen car culture all around the world. Rural Australia’s car culture might come close, and obviously I’m going to keep an open mind about LA’s car culture when I move there, but there really is no place like the Motor City (or, more accurately, the Motor Suburb). Proof is in the pudding....

Okay, let’s get to the basics, which GMC outlines in its press release: The output and range figures are basically the same as those of the Silverado platform mate, so you can expect the setup to be similar: Dual motors powered by a giant 200 kWh battery pack between them. Here’s what the Silverado EV’s battery and drivetrain situation looks like: Front and rear electric drive units channel a GM-estimated 754 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque to the wheels via an e4WD system in Max Power mode, giving the truck exceptional traction and capability in almost every driving scenario....

Faster Decision Making Automating your cash management process ensures that you have quick access to cash information and reporting data.

Sometimes called Gradient Taillights, these have taken on a near-mythical significance in the taillight community because, as far as anyone has been able to determine, they have never actually appeared on a production vehicle. While the actual design of such lights varies wildly, and many versions can be seen on votives and other ceremonial artifacts, the fundamental qualities of an Ombré Taillight are simple: the colors of the sections of the taillight must blend together in a smooth, unbroken gradient that includes amber, red, and clear....

The intense nature of a job interview can make it feel like a terrifying ordeal designed to crush you. Of course, the truth could not be more different! Interviewing you for the role you have applied for is a way for the employer to deduce whether you are a good fit. It is an excellent chance for you to shine. Job interviews can differ across industries and sectors, as recruiters will be looking for specific capabilities and characteristics....

It won’t all be completely depressing, I promise. Meet The New Boss Say what you want about Akio Toyoda’s risk-averse approach to battery-electric vehicles, but I think we can all agree it’s a shame we’re about to lose such a Real One at the helm of a major automaker. Toyoda is a legit gearhead like us; an enthusiast, a racer and someone who truly believed driving should be fun. This trickled down to tons of Toyota products over the last decade and change, and we all know there was a time when you couldn’t say that....
