Gonna go on a bit of a tangent.

While technically correct, this is one or the many hypocrisies of the United States. The ability to silence others is a grotesque one. And while the government on paper is prohibited from exercising such a power, that power is still abundant in the form of private companies that weild power equal to nation states. If the United States truly valued freedom of speech, the same would apply to private companies.

Shit like this is exactly why I take a burner phone on international trips. Fuck you, you aren’t getting my shit.

None of my friends really seem to get it though and always question it.

Looks like I spoke too soon, my bad.

I must have gotten studies that looked at height confused with weight.

For the occupants, any pedestrian hit by an EV will generally be in worse condition than if they were hit by an ICE vehicle.

While this is ultimately good, the benefit can’t be applied so broadly as “the breakthrough that makes EVs safer than ICE cars”.

Edit: /u/inclementimmigrant had it right, not me

The solution as always is to reduce car dependence.

EXCITE EXCITE EXCITE

Yikes. Did you at least have a working display port or something?

If you can afford it, there is always the vaccines from other countries. It’s fucked up that it’s come to this and there’s even more of a price tag on health.

Surely this will decrease food prices /s

Almost certainly. But that doesn’t make it less fucked.

I knew it was going to be bad, but fuck that comment section is radioactive.

I know its unlikely, but I hope they make another attempt and it’s successful.

Then don’t reimburse him.

Ignoring the lack of evidence or argument presented here for that, I’d rather take a slowdown than Musk get a single new dollar.

IDK LGTM

One of the currently open ones is this one:

Hilarious

It’s already got 4 PRs

lol

They wouldn’t be able to finish stealing that car before a thousand hungry lawyers ate them alive. Why do we let media companies do that?

They would probably actually have a decent shot at getting away with it, at least at first.

And to answer your question, it’s because the anger that companies generate by doing this shit ends up turning into piracy. Why would you try to punish a corp for doing this (likely wasting your time) when a cheap VPN and basic tech literacy gets you what you want?

The effort ratios are way out of wack when it comes to digital products. It’s easy to get around digital bullshitery, not so much in the real world where we are all car dependant.

One day I’ll have more to do and you people will be rid of me.

And that day will be a sad one.

The only reason a single mother and baby should ever be flash banged is if they are shooting at the police. With the technology today, they should be aware of who is going to be hit by a flash bang before it’s even thrown.

That, and there isn’t ever really a need to do raids in the first place.

That’s not something that really works with industries that are zero sum games. You can’t have a dozen competing rail companies in a given state because there is only so many paths that a rail system can take, and you need to clear out continuous stretches of land through eminent domain.

If a company provides a vital services and fails, it should be nationalized. If a company does not provide a vital service and fails, it shouldbe allowed to fail and the employees themselves bailed out.
