⚙️ Uninsurable metal box: Tesla’s stainless steel Cybertruck is apparently too weird to insure. Geico and Hanover are pulling out, citing plummeting sales (just 4,306 sold last quarter) and high repair costs. The truck’s low production and high drama have made it a financial Bermuda Triangle. 

That’s how many U.S. adults still drink, the fewest since your grandparents were sneaking moonshine. From 1997 to 2023, the rate chilled in the low 60s, then dropped to 58% last year, and now this. Turns out, hangovers and health risks are a bad combo, especially for younger adults, who are increasingly swapping beers for mocktails.

📞 Press 1 to cry: A Denver dad lost $17K after calling United Airlines’ actual customer service number and somehow getting transferred to a scammer mid-call. You heard that right. The scammer intercepted the call like a midair hijack. United has no idea how it happened. I suspect a tech loophole let the fraudster “spoof” the handoff or silently insert themselves into the call queue. No answers yet. Just one stunned family, a lot less money and probably a free drink voucher from United, if they’re lucky.

📉 Debt end job: You ever feel like your job is draining you one unread email at a time, but you can’t leave because … bills? There’s a new term for that: “quiet cracking.” You’re not quitting. You’re just there. Fatigue, disconnection, stuck in place. A lot of folks feel the same. PSA: If work feels like it’s draining you, remember, bills need paying, but so do you. Take five. Breathe.

👀 Interviews go analog: AI cheating has gotten so bad, big names like Google, Cisco and McKinsey are dragging job interviews back into the real world (paywall link). Forget whispering to ChatGPT off-screen, now you have to sweat under fluorescent lights like it’s 2015 again. In case you forgot, the real world is like Zoom, but with pants.

Wyoming’s AI power grab: A new, unnamed AI facility in Wyoming is about to use five times more electricity than the state’s human population. It’s starting at 1.8 GW and could hit 10, which is over 5x the power consumption of state households. OpenAI won’t confirm if it’s theirs. Everyone’s nervous. Wyoming’s like: Yeehaw, thanks for the revs.
