YSK: it's not just Tesla, 1/3 of cars in built in the last ten years have passenger/rear windows that are almost impossible to break in an emergency.

  • Eh, I've seen plenty of internal trunk releases that are just an unmarked handle that pulls a cable...

  • Tesla vehicles are prone to sudden unintended acceleration.

    Wait, has that ever been confirmed? I mean of course Tesla would deny it, but I'd be quicker to believe user error than a design flaw (but I wouldn't rule it out either)

  • I'd just like to point out that the same is true of your house. Your average deadbolt and doorknob can be defeated by a cordless drill in less than 30 seconds and with very little noise. Don't ask me how I know :D

  • I'm not somewhere where I can watch a video, how does a router have a display at all? Is it streaming to a web page?

    • That's LTT in the bottom

  • Normal Windows updates don't take an hour

    Correct. But who can tell the difference beforehand between a normal update and an abnormal one? The problem is Windows tends to hide those details. I've sat on support calls where a server needs to be rebooted for some configuration change, and Windows insists on applying updates because hey, you're rebooting anyway, so what if it takes 1/2 hour to do this thing that should take 5 minutes...

    • "A dream. It's perfect": Helium discovery in northern Minnesota may be biggest ever in North America

    Jump

  • Helium in balloons is returning to the atmosphere. We can re harvest it if we want

    No. It wafts away into space. All the helium we find is a product of radioactive decay- alpha particles- which gets trapped underground. Once it's released into the atmosphere, it is effectively gone.

  • The problem is those passive adapters only work because one side switches to the other's protocol.

    • The Life and Death of Aaron Bushnell: Friend Says Self-Immolation Was a Demand for Justice

  • You'd have an argument if he had shot himself, or ODed on pills, or slashed his wrists, or any number of other painless, or at least very quick, ways of offing himself.

    He set himself on fucking fire. One of the worst ways imaginable to die that doesn't require someone else's active participation, and in fact resists someone else actively trying to stop him. It gets attention.

  • I work in technical support. Shit is always breaking! Nothing ever works right! Everything needs constant fixing by a trained professional! I know because I see it every day and I've been doing this for 25 years across many different products!

    (It couldn't possibly be that I don't see all the shit that works, because when it's working, people don't call me...)

    • Wendy’s planning Uber-style ‘surge pricing’ where burger prices fluctuate based on demand

    Jump

  • Eh, I don't like interacting with people, so I'll take any chance to minimize it, if not eliminate it entirely. So I use the app to specify how I want my burger (and my kids'). I'd rather do curbside, but if that isn't an option, just giving a name or code at the intercom is better than having to repeat things 3 times and/or wonder if they heard me when they don't say anything...

    • Two very rare Covid vaccine side-effects detected in global study of 99 million

    Jump

  • Nobody suggests either of these

    Plenty of people do. They're idiots of course, but there are a lot of them. My next door neighbor for one, I can't even talk to him anymore because it's always "you hear about how many people the vaccine has killed now?"

  • If there was one food that would supply all my nutritional needs, didn't need to be refrigerated and could be kept for months without going bad, that'd be a hell yeah from me.
