  • Tesla failure rate is more than 2,5 times the average of other electric cars.
    Despite being dumped in security check, Tesla workshop claimed the cars were fine, so owners complained about the decision to flunk them. But the decision was upheld as being absolutely correct!
    In short Tesla doesn't recognize security problems, even when they are clearly pointed out to them!

    Tesla cars are shit from a safety perspective, and other elements are coming under scrutiny, like lack of buttons and the console screen being distracting while driving. That's apart from the well known hidden handles, that prevent quick exit in case of emergency, and the stupid blinker buttons on the wheel.

    Tesla is simply not designed for safe driving in any meaningful way. And even the assistance features create hazards instead of helping safety. Like the infamous phantom breaking.

    Maybe Tesla is an exciting car to drive, but not in a good way!

  • You are absolutely right, I completely forgot that she claimed to have bought them in an "Asian market" that she couldn't remember where was, and she must have paid cash.
    And that she had erased her phone for some reason.

    Good catch. 👍

  • This is the best article I've read on this story yet.
    It quickly becomes very obvious that she killed those 3 people, where the only remaining question is whether she did it on purpose.
    But the matter with the very obviously different colored plate, is very damaging to her.
    And then the matter of throwing out a mushroom dryer that has traces of the toxin. A dryer she claimed she had never owned!
    And the fact that she had used a website warning against the Death cap at certain sites.
    And the fact that she had visited exactly those sites.
    Giving children chocolate with dried mushroom in it, and remarking they didn't even notice!
    Her story about throwing up after the guests left, but she still went to the hospital a couple of days later claiming she felt ill, but there was no trace of the toxin in her blood. That does not ring true either.
    The invitation itself was considered a bit strange too, since it was not something she usually did.
    And the fact that she had been suspected of trying to kill her husband before, does not help.

    Seems to me the police did good work here, maybe because she had been suspected before? And the evidence against her is pretty overwhelming that these killings were intentional.

  • I'm not sure what your point is? You state according to the prosecutor, when I just stated that a sentence is not normally according to a prosecutor, but an actual court decision!
    The headline clearly indicates that he actually got life in prison, as he was sentenced by the court. But completely fails to mention the actual judgement by the court?
    The prosecutor is not responsible for announcing sentencing, but the prosecutor is the only source stated.
    Repeating what the prosecutor stated once again does not help.

  • I know that, that's common knowledge.
    But if the research shows anything that's statistically significant, it would show a level of benefit.
    To say that it could as in hypothetically, implies the research didn't really show anything one way or the other.
    You could say the same of homeopathic medicine. It could be a benefit, except nothing has ever shown it to be.
    Personally I'm pretty sure owning a pet like a dog or a cat is indeed beneficial, so I find it disappointing if this is not shown in research.
    I believe there has been studies made that show lower rate of heart conditions among pet owners. There is also a sort of consensus that it helps psychologically for instandce against depression.
    So it's not a long stretch to think it "could" help brain functions in other ways too.
    It's just disappointing that according to the headline, the study failed to show that. Which made me not care to read it.

  • It was so obviously stupid back then, that only people too young to remember don't know this.
    Trump had no reason to tear up that agreement, he did it because it was an agreement Obama had made, and Trump was hellbent on reversing everything Obama did out of spite and nothing else.

  • This is physics 101, warm air can hold more water at the same relative humidity. When air is warmed it collects humidity, and when the humidity condenses to water, it cools, and the cascading effect is bigger proportionally to the increased level of water in the air.

    Even I figured that out more than 10 years ago, without being a climate scientist, but based on basic physics.
    And in my country, we've also been seeing it clearly for some years now, and most regions are expanding sewage systems to be able to handle it.

    But of course climate change deniers probably couldn't figure such things out, and need it explained as you would to a child.

  • Being mindless about anything has pretty similar results, I don't see the point of this?
    Forget you have a car parked in your garage and it will get dirty over time.
    Maybe not the best analogy, but if you don't give a shit, things tend to fall apart.

  • This doesn't make sense to me.
    If you install features over time, it's because you want to use them, if you want to use them, it's not bloat.
    If it's to try it, and it's not for you, why not just remove the package again?

    I can't say for others, but my system definitely does not get bloated over time.
    On the contrary, I remove preinstalled features I don't use, when I get tired of seeing them updating.
