Because this is probably the best challenge to qualified immunity that’s ever been available.

Complete and utter dereliction of duty.

They even ignored their own department’s procedure on responding to an active shooter, so they can’t argue it wasn’t in their duty to stop the shooter, or they didn’t know how.

Plus Culver’s always has ice cream

Amazingly generous of Kim to allow all of those soldiers to defect like that.

Yes, because the computer can fix the physical gears in the transmission.

Found on road dead

Fix or repair daily

Failure of Research/Development

Fucker only runs downhill

There’s a shocking number of people who will just go off into the woods with their clothes and a phone.

I went hiking with a date once who expected to be fine walking a ten mile trail with no water bottle. Some people have no real world experience of how much water you need when you’re exerting yourself for hours on end.

No phones, no distractions, just a man living in the moment, getting stalked by a large cat just like his ancestors.

I’ll yank your units

More an Anti-computer-system-that-happens-to-have-wheels narrative.

I want a car. I want it to turn on, take me from point A to B, and maybe play some music or an audio book while I’m driving. It should tell me how fast I’m going, and how much further I can go before it needs to recharge or refuel. Give me a few buttons for basics like turning on the heat, AC, lights, and the windshield wipers.

That’s it. I just want an affordable car that can take me somewhere. None of these EV manufacturers are doing that. They all focus on software packages to set them apart from the rest, when if they just focused on making a usable, affordable car, they’d corner the market.

Let them fail until someone makes something that actually does what it’s supposed to.

What how? Update faster.

Probably some routing failure caused by ancient infrastructure

Does anyone understand how 911 lines are different >than regular phone lines that they could go down?

They are the same phone lines, 911 just has its own routing system.

Could it be a Cyber attack?

Definitely could, but never attribute to malice that which can be explained first by stupidity.

Where’s all the phone people at?

Retired. Everyone has cell phones, and has told all the kids to not take trades jobs for the past 30 years. Every trade is hurting for new workers, including phone line technicians. There’s not enough bodies to do the work anymore.

“Sorry we killed most of you in a series of brutal wars and plagues that we started, kicked the survivors out of your countries, systematically erased huge swaths of your culture and heritage, and then made the scraps of land we did give you unusable through mining and water extraction, but stealing your water turns out to be good for an entirely different problem we helped create that will ultimately destroy even more people and land.”

Yeah I don’t know if that checks out. Bad thing still looks bad.

I still remember during the start of the pandemic when the Queen went on the news and said people needed to work together to help provide for those who were struggling from food shortages.

She of course did this while being filmed in HD in front of a gold encrusted fire place.

10/10, felt like an office sketch.

Carbon capture is a fools errand.

It takes just as much energy to get the carbon out of the air as it did to put it there in the first place. You can’t fight thermodynamics.

So unless we discover cheap, plentiful fusion in the next few years, or dedicate half a continent to solar and wind farms, we aren’t getting back any more carbon than we burn already.

“Old man’s PR staffer has half a brain”

It’s the emperors new clothes.

Remember, it was supposed to have 500 miles of range, accelerate as faster or faster than a Porsche 911, and have “Thermonuclear explosion proof glass” for some reason.

1/3 of those things sound useful as a truck. Having a long range while unloaded means it could have been decent for most weekend warrior/vacation hauling and towing jobs. But its actual range is closer to 300 miles, because the thing is absurdly heavy.

All the Elon fans insist that it’s the best vehicle they’ve ever driven, despite it having no clear design goal, and having a huge number of personal safety issues for the driver, up to and including the throttle getting jammed down due to cheap glue.

I haven’t seen one yet, but man do I wish I could, because I want to understand why some people are so in love with it. Unfortunately, I live in the rust belt, so I doubt I’ll see one of these rolling piles of rust for a very long time, as our climate will simply dissolve $100k dollar vehicle from under the owner.

Probably help them make cars too.

Imagine how many model 3’s they could have made if they didn’t set up a whole new production facility for a 3 year olds drawing of a truck.

That’s why they made it a pin.

Sure you can sell an app on the App Store, but most people won’t pay more than 5 bucks for an app, and even that’s stretching it. And the subscription market is already over saturated. So how do you make a boatload of cash? Sell overpriced hardware that needs to be “upgraded” every year or 2 to use new features, and include a subscription to use the thing in the first place.

They wanted to pull an Apple and lock people into their hardware ecosystem. I guarantee there was a plan for them to release an AI phone in the next 5 years if this thing did well.

What they missed is Apple products are generally pleasant to use on a daily basis. From what everyone said, this thing was hot garbage and slow to respond to queries.

You couldn’t get me in a room with sailors.

But I couldn’t stand in a room with a group of seamen.

Because leadership knew this was coming. They deny climate change at the podium, but bend the knee to corporations behind closed doors.

If they kept the water breaks, nothing would get done outside during the summer, and that hurts corporate wallets.

People are going to be worked to death this summer, and it’s because of greedy politicians who’ve never worked outside of an air conditioned office.

If it really did, then nasa would not have committed to this hare brained scheme of musk’s.

The fact that the SpaceX proposal was accepted by an interim director who then went to work at SpaceX 6 months later, and no one has investigated this or challenged the acceptance of this contract tells me that safety is clearly not the priority. If safety was the priority, the new director would have looked at the current proposal and demanded a renegotiation or reconsideration.
