  • This isn’t entirely accurate.

    First, just because they’re only slightly less accurate than most cops… doesn’t mean they’re not able to get lucky.

    Secondly, I’m reminded of an incident I saw security recordings of, from a guy running across a light rail platform (warehouse district in Minneapolis,) dude was spraying behind him. While running.

    Missed all of the people he was aiming at, killed 4 people all the same.

    ACAB, so I’m not saying the cops didn’t fuck up. (Or even plant the damn pellet gun…) but yeah. There’s a reason that’s the narrative.

    Pete Arredondo, the former chief of the school district police in Uvalde, Texas, has been indicted and arrested over his actions during the police response to the 2022 school shooting in which a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers, the Uvalde County sheriff said on Thursday.

    “Mr. Arredondo is currently in our custody,” the sheriff, Ruben Nolasco, said in a text message, adding that Mr. Arredondo was being held on the charge of “abandoning/endangering of a child.”

    Good. Fuckwit deserves it. (also: archive link for people getting hit by paywall)






  • Iirc, the hole does 2 things. The first is it acts like a sound hole in a guitar or violin and alters the tonal qualities of the speaker (the enclosure acts like a resonate chamber.)

    Also, iirc, drivers have to work harder to move the membrane of the enclosure is totally sealed, since it’d have to compress the air inside/behind the membrane.

    Of course, cheap speakers probably did it because they saw JBL and others do it on the expensive studio monitors.

    As for spiders…. I think they’re cool, but only if they stay over …. There…. Jumping spiders can even be cute. But at a distance.

    Same goes for the centipede with the creepy legs. I respect that they eat things I’m happy not deal with… just don’t come over here.






  • All in all, Tesla issued four Cybertruck recalls since the car went on sale.

    There was also an issue with the accelerator pedal getting stuck in trim.

    Another was the font size on warning lights was too small (and hard to read,). That one “only” required an OTA update.

    Most of the problems are bullshit you expect in the cheapest cars. That it’s happening on something as expensive as a cybertruck is ridiculous and laughable.

    It’s all 100% avoidable bullshit that should have been caught before hitting production. The wiper motor has a known torque, the driver known specs, literally could have been avoided by reading the specs on everything involved. (Or simply not cheaping out on a wiper motor.)

    Every single CT I’ve seen in the wild or “wild photos” of have had quality control issues. Like bumpers not hung level.
