To fund the rapid expansion, Oracle took aggressive efficiency measures and enacted a sweeping wave of layoffs. By the end of fiscal year 2026, the company's workforce was slashed by about 21,000 employees, a decline of roughly 13%, from 162,000 to 141,000 workers. The deep cuts followed an operational restructuring driven in part by the internal adoption of AI technologies.

If I read this new article right, they're just talking about the layoffs from ORCL's March/April 2026, which was their last fiscal year, which ended May 31 2026. I think this is just repeating old news. Anyone else read it that way?

As a result, Oracle is now required to provide cash collateral or a letter of credit in the astronomical sum of over $7 billion just to connect the building to the power grid, a setup whose ongoing maintenance will cost the company more than $100 million annually.

That seems to be what this article really has for news and that's really funny, IMO. Go get 'em, Wisconsin.

I think it has something to do with moths...

Yes, but what about moths?

 

Robby is on the left.

They battled it out in Lost in Space episode #20, "War of the Robots", and in episode #60, "Condemned of Space".

Very similar but according to Discogs, that is a "ray gun" called a XZ-38 Disintegrator Pistol from the Buck Rogers film serials from the mid 1930's.

 

Here's an ad for the toy gun too:

Watched it, liked it. The film is very engaging, not a totally original story but still well written. All the actors did a good job.

If you've got some time, give it a shot, see what you think, let us know.

I'm at about 1 minute 45 seconds for a 3x3, so great job OP.

I'm working on learning a square-1 cube now. It's really challenging.

Solving cubes keeps my brain sharp though so it's a great hobby.
