ship wars and love triangles confuse me, because nine times out of ten the answer is always polyamory

We just got these 2 in for training at Serendipity Equines.

The Arabian will be trained for Endurance and the QH/Mustang will be trained for Barrel Racing.

We are so excited to see their progress.

Ford in CRISIS: electric car sales collapse in July as inventory piles up

Ford in CRISIS: electric car sales collapse in July as inventory piles up...

P.S. Such a result is not a surprise if the Ford dealers themselves do not show enthusiasm for their "product", but behind the scenes the manufacturer is quietly fighting to slow down the EV "revolution". Most likely, the additional payments introduced by US car dealers are to blame. The prices quoted by Ford are NOT THE out of door PRICES the customer is actually forced to pay at Ford dealerships in USA. In addition, Ford ICE pickup trucks are also piling up in parking lots at dealerships...! It's just that car prices are too high...

Mach-E is available for sale in Latvia (This is a very expensive car by Latvian average income standards, even the base model is much more expensive than in the USA), but I have seen only one unit with a Latvian registration number on the street, while Tesla Model Y is seen very often and their owners are happy to talk loudly and demonstrate their purchases. Tesla works! Yes, it is expensive vehicle, but it works well, and people are talking quite a lot about their new EVs made by Tesla.

However, there is complete silence and lack of enthusiasm in the "camp" of Ford Mustang Mach-E customers...no road trip vlogs, no trip pictures, no talking, no fun, no positive emotions. This equals to no sales...At least I don't see any, although I keep a close eye on the local electric car market...

Even the MG ZS EV owners, which does not have its own dealer in Latvia, is already showing publicly more enthusiasm for their purchases than the Ford fans...

the andalite chronicles are fucking great so far because aside from how they're genuinely interesting and well written it's got. The lore detail that a warrior being pointed out to have Nerd Traits (like skill with technology) is genuinely insulting even if the skills are desirable just on a cultural level. which has fucking HILARIOUS implications for aximili "insecure jock yearning to be a brave warrior" esgarrouth isthill's current situation where he can't go three seconds without being told "in english, four eyes." that particular bit of world building made me stare into space fondly recalling every time the animorphs have treated ax like a weird nerd so far. he's having such a bad time and it's so funny.

it's ALSO fucking great that it's all ohhh elfangor the great warrior poor ax trying to live up to his legacy. and it's like we can Say he was awesome and badass but it's not as true feeling until we see it in action you know? and then we get to the book where we actually see elfangor in the flesh and even at his absolute teenage dorkiest he:

confidently declares to himself that despite sucking at combat training he'll probably definitely magically be perfect and survive when he gets into a Real combat experience, and then does actually proceed to do just that

pulls a cool alien girl within like two hours of meeting her

drives a mustang at 100mph through the desert while blaring the rolling stones and drinking dr pepper

like it's hopeless for ax. No hope even at all for being as cool as his big brother. It's not happening.

Guys guys guess what

I started writing the AFTG x American West/Rodeo/Cowboy/Ranch AU of my dreams.

Idk if it’ll actually become a long form fic, but I thought I’d give you some highlights:

A whistling carried over the yard. It guided Andrew’s eyes back to a single figure, perched atop one of the gates as if it were a throne. He didn’t feel a need to react, not until he realized it was Cracker’s pen. Noticing his mustang moving sent him stalking over, fully prepared to shove the stranger to the ground.

What stopped him short was watching Firecracker trot up to the man with her ears angled toward him curiously. The stranger pulled something from his pocket, and held out his hand. The mare sniffed from where she’d stopped, but refused to touch his hand. Andrew waited and watched as the stranger tossed it into her empty feed pan.

As soon as he was satisfied with her nibbling on his offering, the stranger turned to look at Andrew. He’d seemingly heard his approach, and knew he was there all along.

Andrew stood his ground, letting the stranger swing his legs over the gate and drop to the ground. Cracker jolted at the movement, and he said something to soothe her before he met Andrew on the lawn.

��She yours?”

Andrew hadn’t expected that. His face was still the picture of neutrality, but it encouraged his curiosity. “Yeah,” He kept his hands stuffed deep into his pockets. “Take it you’re the new kid Wymack warned me about.”

The stranger smirked. “Ah, I got my own warning,” He chuckled. “Neil- Neil Josten,” He offered Andrew his hand.

“Andrew Minyard,”

-

Okay so:

- Wymack runs a rodeo grounds, but also has a stable but also a boarding house. You help at the stable/ranch and your horse boards for free. He helps the kids event and stuff.

- Kevin rides a Friesian, big into Dressage. (I want to name his mare Queenie.)

- Allison does show-jumping, but also barrel racing. (Her thoroughbred (show jumper) is named Madonna and her quarter horse is Rocky.)

- Dan does team roping, she learned under Wymack but now helps him out with his “strays” (She has a paint that is technically Wymack’s but everyone knows that is her heart-horse named Whiskey. She thought it was funny bc her back story is still the same and Hennessy)

- Aaron is a vet student, he interns in town under Abby. Katelyn is the receptionist.

- Bee does equine therapy, she’s a retired barrel racer.

- Andrew worked as a jockey, made a decent amount of money in a lawsuit after an accident. He adopted a BLM mustang on a whim and gentled her himself with guidance from Bee. Her name is Firecracker.

- Nicky is a stable hand, he’s got an old draft horse cross named Bear. (Erik isn’t a horse guy, still German but he is working in the US on a land conservation/research thingy.)

- Renee is a trick rider. Neil makes a comment about her having a death wish.

- Matt was a bull rider? He got a nasty head injury but grew up around horses. He’s the biggest ranch help for Wymack. His horse is a retired Thoroughbred who also makes a good lesson pony.

- Neil never meets Seth, but his legacy is around the grounds. He died in a drunk driving accident on the rodeo grounds but Neil thinks there was more to it. (Seth was a bronc rider).

- Neil eventer in English when he was younger, he knows his way around horses.

- The story starts with him signing up to ride a bronc on a whim, he’s not a circuit cowboy, Wymack runs some searches and has no idea who the kid who just won the event is.

- Offers him a place to stay for the night, and some work if he needed it.

- I’m already tempted to write a TSC/Trojans spin off bc I need to give Jean Moreau a mustang that he can see himself in. He can’t be with Kevin (their story is slightly different but some aspects remain the same) but he can be with horses. Give him a mustang gelding that shies away from everything and who he has to learn to be gentle with as he learns to be gentle with himself. Also, Cowboy Jeremy. Team ropers Cat and Jeremy, barrel racing Laila. And bc Emma Swift is my Trojan I decided to project onto: she’s a ranch hand who works more with the cattle and less eventing.

Guys hear me out okay.

[milkyplier]

Ranch AU, where the chain live on a Ranch and all have horses.

Time - obviously Time is still in possession of Epona, but she’s in her late 20s at that point. Epona is a palomino Belgian draft/Appaloosa mix. She’s gentle with kids but has plenty of attitude to go around with adults XD 17hh

Twilight - Twilight has Epona’s one and only baby, also palomino, whose father was another Appy. Her registered name is Epona’s Legacy, but they just call her Lacy or Legacy for short. 16.2hh

Warriors - Warriors has an ex-police horse, a long-legged and tall gelding named Royal. Roy for short, he’s a Quarter Horse/Appaloosa mix. He’s bomb-proof and steady. 16.3hh

Sky - Sky has a Fjord/Morgan mix named Hawk. Smaller, but stocky and strong and gentle as a mouse. He’s a more reactive horse, and Sky balances him out by being more low-energy and calm. 15hh

Wild - A red Appy/thoroughbred mix dubbed Sriracha Sauce, with high energy and sensitivity. A perfect match for Wild, these two wear each other out. Sriracha was a rescue, who Wild nursed back to health himself. Sriracha was agressive originally, but Wild’s endless stamina and patience were able to train the horse into a better place. Now, Sriracha is a much more agreeable horse, approachable by all. He’s still really reactive and has thrown Wild more times than he can count, and isn’t the best-behaved to ride. However, Wild is actively working on it, and it’s something he can handle. Sriracha is not a perfect horse—no horse is, and Wild is just happy to have him and loves him. Sriracha is a one-man horse, and no one else is allowed to ride him but Wild. 16hh.

Hyrule - Hyrule has a pure-bred Rocky Mountain Horse named Hart. Hart is sweet and unafraid of anything, the primary kids lesson horse and therapy horse around the Ranch. He and Hyrule are known to go on long trail rides together. 15.1hh

Wind - Wind has a small but strong and opinionated Appy mare, aptly named Dragon. They both are loud and wild and reckless, and like to go fast. Wind and Dragon love to compete in a lot of classic western competitions—polebending, barrel racing, and especially keyhole. They hold several national and state records, and have plenty of ribbons. Wind also has a moo cow named Butter. 15hh

Four - Four’s ride is a little bay quarter horse/morgan. She’s sweet with kids, and incredibly intelligent, the secondary kids riding horse. But don’t let that fool you—she can be very cheeky when you least expect it, and don’t leave your food around her. She will eat it or dump it on the ground and step on it. 14.3hh

Legend - Legend owns the toughest horse in the barn, a black-as-night mustang/rocky mountain horse by the name of Raven. Raven is quiet and ultra-sensitive, and bomb-proof. Raven is another lesson/therapy horse, but for the more advanced riders. 15.3hh

[howsthetunahere]

ive already screamed about this on twitter but i dont care im screaming here too it makes me UNREASONABLY UPSET that this isnt in the show its such an IMPORTANT MOMENT ITS SO PIVOTAL FOR MUSTANG SPECIFICALLY

his guilt is SO IMPORTANT as part of his character and this is a literal smack in the face depiction of that guilt given form he'll never forgive himself and no one can ever give him that either and i mean not just because this one guy said so but this is how Arakawa shOWS us that

both him and Hawkeye REPEATEDLY talk about how they joined the military of their own free will, that they made the choice to serve, that they willingly carried out their orders knowing what it meant they constantly carry that knowledge and guilt with them and acknowledge it openly on multiple occasions

and they KEEP doing that even after Ishval because if they don't then everything they DID do would be for nothing it would mean nothing and it cant they have to move forward and they have to continue to pursue the future they dream of because they H A V E T O

they dont think they deserve forgiveness they dont think they deserve happiness but they still want to build a better future for others so that no one else has to feel what they feel, or do what they have done, and theyll take the corpses they piled on their own backs and carry them forever if it means they can achieve that

and FucKING HAWKEYE likens it to equivalent exchange, using alchemy to explain it, the thing that consumed her father and made her afraid of him and what brought that same man to make her the bearer of his lifes work, his legacy first and his daughter second, and then another man who she followed into war and blood and horror and she watched him use the secrets she gave him to decimate an entire race of people and then he used that same pOWER TO FREE HER OF THAT LEGACY! THAT BURDEN THAT SECRET!

and after it all.....

What Is Considered a Vintage Airplane? Key Characteristics of Classic Aircraft Model

A vintage airplane is a term that generally refers to an aircraft model that was built between the early 1900s and the 1980s. These airplanes are often celebrated for their historical importance, unique designs, and the pivotal roles they played during a certain period in aviation history. While there is no agreed-upon definition of what specifically qualifies an airplane model as "vintage," there are a few characteristics that most enthusiasts and experts agree on.

One of the primary characteristics of a vintage airplane model is its age. Typically, any aircraft that was manufactured more than 40 years ago is considered vintage. However, the term can also apply to airplanes that were built more recently but are replicas or restorations of older models. The technology and materials used during the construction of these planes are often outdated by today's standards, which adds to their vintage charm.

Another defining feature of a vintage airplane is its design. These airplanes often have unique shapes, construction methods, and engineering that set them apart from modern aircraft. For instance, many vintage airplanes feature fabric-covered wings, radial engines, and tailwheel landing gear, which are uncommon in contemporary aircraft. These design elements not only make vintage airplanes visually striking but also reflect the technological limitations and innovations of their time.

Several vintage airplane models stand out for their historical significance and the roles they played during pivotal moments in aviation history. For example, the World War 2 aircraft model P-51 Mustang is one of the most iconic vintage airplanes. Since its speed, agility, and long-range capability plays a crucial role in securing air superiority for the Allies during World War II. Its sleek design and powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine made it a favorite among pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike.

Another notable vintage airplane is the big airplane model Douglas DC-3. Introduced in the 1930s, the DC-3 revolutionized air travel by making commercial flights more reliable and accessible. Its robust design and capability to land on short, unpaved runways made it an all-around aircraft used not only for passenger transport but also for military operations during World War II.

The vintage airplane model Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is yet another example of an aircraft that has earned its place in history. This heavy bomber was instrumental during World War II, particularly in the European theater. Its durability, withstanding severe battle damage and still returning home, earned it a reputation as one of the most reliable bombers of the war.

The appeal of vintage airplanes goes beyond their importance. For many enthusiasts, these aircraft represent a golden age of aviation—a time when flying was seen as an adventure, and each flight was a testament to human ingenuity and bravery. Restoring and flying a vintage airplane is a way to preserve this legacy, keeping the history and stories of these aircraft alive for future generations.

Preservation of vintage airplanes is a passion for many. Organizations around the world dedicate themselves to restoring and maintaining these aircraft, ensuring that they remain airworthy and can be enjoyed by future generations. Air shows and museums often feature vintage airplanes, providing an opportunity for people to see these incredible machines up close and even witness them in flight.

In conclusion, vintage airplanes are more than just old machines—they are flying pieces of history. Whether it's a World War 2 aircraft model like the P-51 Mustang or a big airplane model like the Douglas DC-3, these airplanes embody the spirit of a bygone era of aviation. For those who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and the thrill of flight like me, vintage airplanes hold a special place in the skies and in our hearts.

ANTIMONY

Antimony represents the wild and animalistic parts of human nature~

an Edward Elric x reader fanfiction.

~Prologue~

In the lively city of Central, where the sound of metal clashing and the buzz of alchemy could be heard everywhere, a young girl named Y/N Mustang found herself on the brink of a new beginning. Despite being only fourteen years old, she carried the weight of her father's reputation as the Flame Alchemist and the memory of her late mother, who had always hoped Y/N would choose a different path than becoming a State Alchemist. It had been four years since her mother's passing, leaving behind a void that seemed to grow larger each day. Y/N's mother had been her guiding light, a source of warmth and wisdom, and her absence left a noticeable emptiness in the young girl's heart.

Despite her mother's reservations, fate had woven a different tapestry for Y/N. The allure of alchemy had beckoned to her, whispering promises of power and purpose. With a resolute spirit, she had embraced the path of a State Alchemist, determined to carve her own destiny amidst the swirling currents of her father's world. Her chosen field of expertise lay in the enigmatic realm of water alchemy, where the fluidity of her craft mirrored the depths of her own emotions. Through the ebb and flow of her transmutations, Y/N sought to weave a legacy that honoured both her parents, a testament to her resilience and unwavering spirit.

In the bustling streets of Central, Y/N discovered comfort in the presence of her loyal friends, Edward and Alphonse Elric. Their bond went beyond mere friendship, strengthened by their shared goals and unwavering determination. Together, they faced the challenges of their intertwined fates, each carrying their own burdens and dreams. Y/N connected with Edward's fiery determination, reflecting her own, while Alphonse's calm wisdom brought peace to her restless spirit. As they pursued truth and redemption together, they created a strong bond that surpassed the chaos of their world.

As Y/N delved deeper into the enigmatic world of alchemy, she grappled with the weight of her newfound responsibilities and the echoes of her mother's unspoken wishes. The shadows of doubt and longing danced at the periphery of her consciousness, threading a delicate tapestry of hope and uncertainty. Yet, amidst the swirling tempest of her emotions, a flicker of hope burned bright within her. It was a beacon that illuminated the path ahead, a testament to her resilience and unyielding spirit. With each fluid transmutation and every step she took alongside her steadfast companions, Y/N embraced the promise of a new dawn, where the waters of her destiny flowed with untold possibilities.

As Y/N ventured further into the mysterious realm of alchemy, she struggled with the burden of her newfound duties and the whispers of her mother's unspoken desires. Doubt and yearning lingered on the edge of her mind, weaving a fragile web of optimism and doubt. However, in the midst of her swirling emotions, a glimmer of hope shone brightly within her. It served as a guiding light, showing her the way forward and proving her strength and determination. With each seamless transformation and every stride she took with her loyal friends, Y/N embraced the potential of a fresh start, where her fate held endless opportunities.

Ford lost $32,000 on every electric car it sold in Q2 2023

Ford lost $32,000 on every electric car it sold in Q2 2023

P.S. Oops! A harsh turn! This is what happens when electric car technology is developed by a company whose management and engineers have no real confidence in what they're doing. Legacy OEMs are trying to build electric cars the same way as fossil cars, but this approach doesn't work, and it became clear when Tesla experimented with the first Tesla Roadster in 2008-2012.

It is no surprise that, for example, electric cars produced by Tesla in Riga can be seen every day without much effort, but the Ford Mustang Mach-E is very rare. I've only seen it once this year...Almost nobody buys them…Almost nobody buys them... In Latvia, the cheapest of them with a special price costs - 54460 €...

Also, the new Ford ICE cars have reliability and reputation issues too...! They just break down often and are expensive to repair...

Ford is definitely NOT a competitor to Tesla or the Chinese electric car manufacturers...
