The Rich are just trying to figure out how to take even more and leave us less. And it's all a scam. AI is bullshit as are their robots and Robo taxis. The image with this podcast is where somebody apparently accidentally set fire to a Waymo taxi cab. I do not advocate for such disregard for safety measures.

Regulations, Water Challenges, and the 2026 Outlook: Roger Isom on the AgNet News Hour In this Thursday edition of the AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer sit down with Roger Isom, a leading voice in California agriculture. The conversation covers critical challenges and opportunities for growers, including regulatory pressures, water scarcity, rising energy costs, and strategies for advocacy heading into 2026. Advocacy and Grassroots Engagement Active participation in agriculture advocacy is essential. Growers and farm suppliers are encouraged to engage with legislators and county supervisors. Joining industry organizations strengthens collective influence: Western Tree Nut Association (WTNA): wtna.org California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association (CCGGA): ccgga.org 2026 is an election year—growers need to be heard in policy and voting decisions. Regulatory Challenges Rodenticide restrictions: Proposed DPR rules may limit usage, affecting food safety and crop protection. Sustainable pest management: Phase-out of priority pesticides by 2050 raises concerns about balanced advisory representation. Automation hurdles: Driverless tractors face restrictions under OSHA rules, despite driverless cars operating freely. Increasing paperwork burdens take time away from actual farming. Water, Energy, and Affordability Pressures Groundwater restrictions are enforced ahead of SGMA 2040 benchmarks. Funding gaps prevent critical infrastructure development for water conveyance and storage. Rising PG&E rates threaten farm operations: Proposed 27% electricity hike California agricultural rates up to 3x higher than Texas Solar payback periods under NEM 3.0 now nearly 20 years. The Future of California Agriculture Population loss and migration of growers to states like Texas and Idaho. Regulatory and energy burdens threaten long-term agricultural viability. Advocacy, voter engagement, and unified industry action are critical to protecting California agriculture. Wine Industry Insights Younger generations are drinking less wine due to cost, health, lifestyle, and cannabis alternatives. Wine marketing must emphasize storytelling, tasting experiences, and approachable options. Sampling and education about varietals, winemakers, and history can grow consumer appreciation. In today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, host Nick Papagni (The Ag Meter) and co-host Lorrie Boyer wrapped up a lively discussion on the changing landscape of wine consumption and what the wine industry can do to engage new generations of drinkers. Younger Consumers: Price, Health, and Lifestyle Drive Decisions Lorrie explained that younger adults are drinking less wine for several reasons—cost being a major factor. Many prioritize health, career, or school, while others prefer non-alcoholic beverages now trending in breweries and restaurants. She noted that wineries may need to expand into non-alcoholic options, just as beer companies have. Experience Over Alcohol: What Today's Drinkers Want Nick and Lorrie agreed that modern consumers focus more on experiences than alcohol volume. Craft cocktails, tasting-room visits, and curated beverage moments continue to capture interest. At the same time, the overwhelming number of wine choices can intimidate new drinkers, especially when bottle prices are high. The Value of Tasting and Storytelling Lorrie shared her personal love for wine tasting—trying small pours, exploring Cabernet and Zinfandel, and discovering new favorites based on food, mood, and weather. She emphasized that winery visits are about more than wine: Meeting the winemaker Learning the history Hearing the story behind each bottle Nick added that “every bottle has a story,” underscoring why wine remains a unique and powerful part of agriculture. Wrapping Up Nick and Lorrie closed the episode with excitement for upcoming holiday-themed content and encouraged listeners to return tomorrow for more ag news, insights, and seasonal fun.

Robotaxi pioneer Waymo plans to expand to London next year, marking the company's latest step in rolling out its driverless ride service internationally. Waymo said that it will start testing its self-driving cars on London streets—with a human “safety driver” behind the wheel—as it seeks to win government approval for its services. In a blog post, Waymo said it will lay the groundwork for its London service in the coming months. The company said it will “continue to engage with local and national leaders to secure the necessary permissions for our commercial ride-hailing service.” Waymo's self-driving taxis have been operating in the United States for years, and currently serve the cities of Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Austin. This year, the company made its first move to expand internationally by teaming up with local partners in Japan for testing, though no launch date has been set for commercial service there. The company began as a secret project within Google and was then spun out from the tech giant. Waymo will have to follow new U.K. regulations on self-driving cars that pave the way for autonomous vehicles to take to the country's roads. They require self-driving cars to have a safety level “at least as high as careful and competent human drivers” and meet rigorous safety checks. The company will be able to take part in a pilot program for “small-scale” self-driving taxi and bus services that the government plans for spring 2026. Waymo will also have to stick to rules from Transport for London, the city's transport authority, which oversees licensing for its famous traditional black cabs as well as other taxi operators like Uber. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Waymo now offers fully driverless Level 4 robotaxi rides on freeways in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, and it connects San Francisco to San Jose with curbside pickup at SJC. This expansion enables faster airport trips and cross metro rides without a safety driver and brings autonomous service to everyday commuter use cases.Learn how highway driving, availability, safety protocols, pricing pressure, and competition from Uber, Tesla, and Zoox will shape self driving car adoption in 2025 across California and Arizona. Keywords to help discovery include robotaxi, autonomous vehicles, driverless rides, freeway routes, airport pickup, SJC, SF to San Jose, LA, Phoenix, reliability, and scale.

Visit your usual podcast subscription service to add us to your list. Visit our website for more details on becoming a sponsor and buying merch. All of this at stillspinningpodcast.com.   Dan tells us a story about his Starbucks and how he is trying to influence their pop culture knowledge. It involves his order (a “Dan Latte”), a name and the movie The Birdcage.   Toilets were in the news quite a bit this past week. First off, Nicole found an article about a UK company that makes a toilet that is not level, it has a slant to the design which makes it uncomfortable to sit on for longer than 5 minutes. It claims to be “for the user” but since they are marketing to companies, we know they just want to limit employee time in the bathroom. The second toilet story is how prolonged sitting on one can cause hemorrhoids. Two great stories that go great together.    Dan tells us about a Wisconsin gas station chain that is not going to accept pennies anymore. This led him to a big discovery that he was unaware of and that left him shook. What did he find out and how will it impact us all? You need to tune in to find out.   Driverless cars are getting pulled over and it begs the question, who is getting the citation?? This also brings up Nicole making a statement where U-Turns at a controlled intersection is illegal but apparently it is not?? Her world was shattered. This segment might be the most off topic Nicole and Dan get.    Finally Arby's has a new item Dan is REALLY excited about and it better not be for a limited time…   All of this and so many tangents on this episode of the Still Spinning Podcast.

What do a $500B AI valuation, mid‑match game ads, and a driverless traffic stop have in common? They all expose the gap between shiny innovation and the infrastructure, policy, and psychology that actually make tech work—or break trust.We open with OpenAI's eye‑popping valuation and go beneath the headline to the parts no press release glamorizes: data centers, power, cooling, fiber, and GPU supply. With partners like Nvidia, Oracle, and Microsoft shaping access, we unpack why AI will likely consolidate around a few players and what that means for startups burning cash on compute. From there, we challenge the classic “my phone is listening” myth. Instagram's chief says no, and we explain why your ads still feel psychic: cross‑app tracking, pixels, cookies, SDKs, and identity graphs that stitch your behavior together better than a hot mic ever could.Snapchat's move to charge for Memories over 5 GB hits a nerve. We talk about the end of “free forever,” how to export your data cleanly, and why local storage and physical media are making a quiet comeback as people hedge against shifting terms. Then the wild card: a free, ad‑supported tier for cloud gaming. We explore how interrupting live sessions could nudge upgrades—or kill trust—and what smart implementations might look like if Microsoft wants to keep gamers loyal. A quick detour into our favorite segment, Two Truths and a Lie, proves once again that “too dumb to be real” is no longer a safe bet.The Tech Fail may be the most telling: California police stop a Waymo for an illegal U‑turn and have no one to ticket. It's funny, but it's a governance problem—who's liable when there's no driver? We argue for clear frameworks before edge cases become norms. And for sports fans, we dig into automated ball‑strike challenges moving toward the majors, weighing precision against the theater of human officiating, and drawing parallels to football's quiet shift away from chains to computer measurement.Along the way, Mike breaks down how modern marketing leans on cognitive biases more than secret microphones, and we wrap with a blind bourbon upset that proves labels fool palates as easily as hype fools markets. If you care about AI, privacy, gaming, autonomy, or the future of sports tech, this one's packed.If you enjoyed this, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what shift are you most ready for: fewer AI players, fewer ads, or fewer bad calls?Support the show

THIS. IS. WILD.

The last couple of weeks have actually been kind of slow, when it comes to the craziness of trucking so I don't have any really dramatic stories from the road. However, now that Break Safety Week has come and gone I do talk about how it affected our fleet. Leave a comment and let me know what your experience was like. What to Expect in Episode 185 It's a pretty normal reaction to be scared of the unknown. Just like Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow were scared of the unknown that lurked in the forest as they journeyed to Oz, changes lurking in the trucking industry can be scary too.  I thought it would be interesting to talk about some of the topics that seem to be getting a lot of attention these days. Here's how this episode breaks down. Electric Trucks I talk about my experience driving an electric vehicle for the last 7+ years and how I think it relates to trucks. Driverless Vehicles My Tesla has the "Full Self Driving" feature. It's good, but I think it's going to be a while before we see anything of any significance in capability and quantity in the trucking world. Craig and I talk about why. The English Proficiency Mandate A recent crash in Florida that killed 3 has brought this topic to the forefront of the highway safety discussion. Craig and I talk about some of the specifics and how this has the potential to have a significant impact in the not too distant future.
