Or die in an El Salvadorian or other similar prison complex from starvation, lack of medical care, etc.

Honestly surprised as we… they’re disappearing people without due process or notice to their families, being arrested for shooting an agent means you get due process.

Ah yes, the “just don’t talk about it and it goes away” approach.

Flipping an EV is no small feat, especially a sedan. The damned center of gravity is basically at the middle of the wheels.

As expected. Would like to point out that they were the only ones from the listed carriers that notified all customers, prior to being asked by the Senator’s office.

Exactly, this will just be ignored by the media bubble they willingly live in, and they’ll never hear about it. If asked about it they’ll say that if it were actually something worth discussing then they’d see it in the news.

They can’t comprehend the idea that their bubble is preventing them from being told about big issues.

It didn’t change the trajectory, but those attacks were much more effective than even Al Qaeda thought they would be. They provided the excuse the American fascists were looking for to further their own plans without much push back.

Instead they’re buying F150s and the like that are just as dangerous to everyone else on or near the road.

Simple, the regulations don’t talk about any of that shit.

US road regulations are a blend of smart, fucking stupid, and just plain missing regulations.

The fact any current “standard” pickup trucks are allowed on the road despite nearly half the population being short enough that they can’t see over the hood is just one of the most obvious examples that the US road regulations are pointless to try and make sense of.

Those are only the newer versions from the last year or so. They used to have regular fucking stalks. Even after they swapped the wheel for the yolk.

That is November 1st here in AZ.

To be honest, from experience with the general public selling and supporting phones since the beginning of the smartphone revolution, anything other than the built in option is more complicated than most people can handle. They just get overwhelmed and then do nothing.

Most people are completely willing to ignore that message and will then complain that they lost everything just because they didn’t pay the $1-2 a month upgrade that would have covered their storage needs with that built-in dummy-proof option that requires zero setup.

Agreed, but most people don’t backup at all. Then complain very loudly when they lose everything and blame everyone else other than themselves. Saw it daily fixing people’s phones.

The technically inclined were the worst offenders, they always felt like they knew better than the defaults but they never actually set anything up.

OneDrive sucks but it is better than losing everything because your shit suddenly dies.

A reminder that if your data is not backed up in a different physical location, then it is not safe.

Many doctors dismiss a significant amount of pain complaints in general because of the small minority of drug abusers seeking pain meds.

Same here. Been looking at options like Kagi.

I decided years ago that since everyone wanted my info, I might as well just pick one instead of spreading it around everywhere. So I’m heavily invested in the Google ecosystem across the board.

I’m not conflating anything. A concussion is literally considered a mild TBI.

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that affects brain function. Effects are often short term and can include headaches and trouble with concentration, memory, balance, mood and sleep.

Concussion is a type of mild TBI that may be considered a temporary injury to the brain but could take minutes to several months to heal.

https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/traumatic-brain-injury-tbi

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines concussion as a traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.

That’s kind of an understatement. Three traumatic brain injuries is not exactly something that can be ignored when discussing differences in mental faculties.

Don’t forget the more than 200 nuclear powered ships currently puttering their way around the world, both above and below the surface. Not to mention the numerous research and testing reactors that don’t product grid energy.

And that doesn’t even get into things like RTGs used on spacecraft and in extremely remote regions where traditional fuels would be nearly impossible to transport reliably. Not technically a reactor in the traditional sense of what people think of as a reactor there, but nuclear energy all the same. The USSR built more than 1,500 of those alone while they were around.

And even ignoring all of those, alternative reactor designs like Thorium molten salt reactors can’t meltdown if cooling systems fail, because the fuel used doesn’t generate heat requiring constant cooling like that.

The only reason most designs we have in use now are uranium based is because that can be used to create weapons, so that’s where the research went… alternatives like Thorium can’t, despite the fuel being much more abundant.

Oh yes, it definitely is.

But shareholders are the ones with actual power over companies. They are the ones the corporate executives fear. Not the government or the public. Assuming the execs don’t also own a majority of shares that is.
