Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks ( apnews.com )

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem....

The only angle I think looks cool is the one on the pic.

I travel. My Internet is off until I activate my hotspot. Whatever MS is doing, it ain't worth it to me. I went all in on Linux (I use PopOS btw) a couple years ago.

I'm a gun owner. I have an AR-15. I don't want to hurt anybody, just to be able to defend my home against these very same lunatics. If anybody is going to get guns banned in the USA, it's gonna be these people doing it to themselves by their unsafe, insane, hateful practices endangering everybody else.

Olhonestjim ,

Yeah, maybe you're right. The cops will keep us all safe from fascists.

Too bad about Ukraine and how they fell in 3 days when the Russians invaded. After all, if you need weapons to defend yourself, it's already too late. Everybody knows that. The best policy is always to immediately surrender and hope they decide to be nice to you.

Olhonestjim ,

Oh thank you, what an excellent point you've made. Truly, you have destroyed the argument for self defense.

I never suggested we would be invaded by foreigners. Nor did I suggest fighting cops and the military, did I?

I said fascists. Yup, I sure did. Reading is fundamental.

Woosh

Olhonestjim ,

I made it clear exactly who I was talking about in my very first comment that you replied to.

Olhonestjim ,

In as short of a response as you can, please state who I was concerned about in my response to the article.

Fighter jets aren't built like tanks. They're light, fragile, and delicate.

Olhonestjim , (edited )

They can only pull nine g's because they are designed to be the lightest possible weight that can pull nine g's. They are built sort of like soda cans. Obviously tougher than that, but they're trivial to poke holes through. And those engines are delicate. I don't know if one piece of shrapnel would do the trick, but a small amount of damage to a fan blade can cause an imbalance that will rip itself apart at high rpm.

Funerals don't imply religion. Religionists like to pretend that it's the only reason people care about each other. But that's silly, isn't it?

Corpo apps are like

"Do you love me? Rate 5 stars?"

How about zero stars for harassment? Do I need to talk to HR?

Olhonestjim ,

It sounds.... impossible to defeat this darker side of human nature, in order to grow into a mature species worthy of restoring and responsibly maintaining this garden planet.

Olhonestjim ,

Not much difference these days.

That saying needs an update.

Maybe, "Don't attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by sociopathy."

Olhonestjim ,

Unfortunately, not when they have money.

Olhonestjim ,

Saw that coming a mile away.

In Russia, they don't decide anything. Putin decides for them, and Putin doesn't care about his pawns.

It's my own voice in my head. Its difficult to determine on what level I control it. It doesn't "make" me do things, but it's not like I decide what it says before it speaks. I often wonder if it's the other half of my brain. I speak differently in person than I do inside my head, or type, for that matter.

Regardless whether it's a kind of supplemental personality inside my head, one thing I'm convinced of is that many people mistake their internal monologue for the Voice of God.

Olhonestjim ,

Oh, it's certainly my thoughts. I'm just saying I don't decide what to think before I think, you know? And I think in that voice, so I really can't identify anything prior. It's just me in here, but it's a funny way to think about consciousness.

Olhonestjim ,

Oh, but they've got immune systems, you see.

Olhonestjim ,

Well no danger of that. We certainly cannot do it on terrestrial scales. No way, no how. Not even with fusion and a collider ring wrapped around the equator. It still requires vastly higher energies.

Even if we could make a kugelblitz black hole right here, it would instantly fall out of reach through the Earth while barely interacting at all with any other particles. On the Planck scale, particles are mostly empty space. We wouldn't even get to study it.

The best way to build one is to surround a star with millions of orbital mirrors, then focus all the light onto a single point in space, with an accuracy of nanometers, if not picometers. Focusing enough energy on a single point will cause a tiny black hole to form. It's probably impossible to do by accident.

Except it's not like a plane because we can stop using specific websites whenever we like, and build our own websites to whittle away at their hegemony.

Corporations should be outlawed from owning houses and land as well. Maybe they can own the building, but they must be forced to rent the land from Us.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week ( arstechnica.com )

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

Olhonestjim ,

Honestly, there is cheap stuff out there to do besides watch screens so much. Draw, write, cook, carve, read, walk. It's better for the mind all around. Absolutely, go pirate some shows. But taking a step back from the content stream hurts them too.

No executive deserves the kind of money and power he is demanding. The workers deserve it. Executive positions must become democratically elected from within the workforce, exclusively, modestly compensated, with checks and balances, for limited terms representing the company workforce.

This is our world he's fucking with.

Olhonestjim ,

And systematically genociding their minorities too. Let's never forget that.
