Why wouldn't you like systemD? It's easier to learn than most distributions

I guess its commands are a bit long

I'm surprised LFS is still around. I used that on my main computer back when Linux kernel versions started with 2.4. it was my third distribution after red hat and Debian

Per se is doing a lot of work there. Sure, if the rich person and the poor person chose the same insurance company and the company doesn't deny coverage to the poor person (it doesn't matter for the rich one, since they can afford it) they could get the same coverage if they have equal quality hospitals nearby and the rich person is happy to be treated by their nearest in network hospital

But poor areas have worse hospitals

And when the rich one is president of the united states that one also has a staff medical team, and access to military medical units, and a plane and helicopter on hand to move him

Just regular rich have access to faster transport to better hospitals than the 99% can have

But yeah, on paper, ignoring effects from socio economic status and where the 99% live versus where the 1% live, versus where the .001% live it's all equal

People in teslas back when they did regularly catch fire from hitting road debris had no trouble pulling over and getting out before fire got into the cabin

They don't need electricity to open the doors, and owners should really tell passengers how to open the doors manually

Search for whichever model's user manual for your country if you want to see how to open the doors

The vehicle's battery was not damaged and did not catch fire.

The cargo area was full of fuel and explosives - in the form of firework mortars.

Explosives and fuel make a good fireball and fire. Fireworks being a 2 stage explosive (launch and pretty explosion), they may have expected the initial bang to disburse the fuel and the second to detonate it as a fuel/air explosive which would be very damaging, enough to take down the building.

Obviously were that their goal they did not sufficiently test. The vehicle contained the initial explosion and all they got was a fire

And the blast and fire exited through the passenger cabin, killing the driver. I hope it wasn't a valet.

I wonder if it was triggered accidentally early or badly set up and detonated on its own or remotely triggered too early.

I bet they thought they'd light up the battery. Poor quality bombers

That frame from the video of the vehicle looks like the cabin was undamaged. Good news for CT drivers if that is so

My guess is it wasn't random, that the vehicle was intended to damage or destroy the building but it went off early and they didn't count on the vehicle being so resistant

It would have been pretty bad if it had been parked under the hotel and the battery had caught, but as it was the blast was directed up and into the cabin, and the fire was contained to the tray and the cabin leaving the battery safe

I think battery fires are self oxidising, you cannot suffocate them. The advice for small lithium cells for radio control toys was stand up wind, ideally have a steel bucket of sand to put it in.

Also discharge them completely as you can before disposal. The RC batteries had no protection so we could take them to zero volts

Tesla employees got in trouble years ago for sharing sexy videos their customers' cars recorded

The car also uses the internal camera to tell if you're watching the road. I understand that can be defeated by sunglasses.

They really are surveillance machines, and in Australia we can't even take advantage of it to get cheap insurance if we're good drivers

They'd get generous quickly if we kept the guillotines lubricated

People with a right to drive into the area are either issued keys or someone with keys lets them in and out.

At least that's how those areas work in my Australian town. One or two bollards are removable or lowerable after unlocking them

For really low car usage areas you need a heavy forklift to move a one tonne plant pot

I drank a lot over the course of last year to this year, so five times for me. Normally it's like twice a week

I suspect the SEC is imposing civil penalties (as opposed to criminal fines) which aren't the sort of thing you can extradite over

It's a parody conspiracy theory, in the same way as the flying spaghetti monster was a parody religion. People participated "eyes open" (aware it was parody, doing it as a joke) others adopted it "eyes closed" (believing it)

We can do that. The most common indoor spiders are huntsman, daddy longlegs, redback. They're all quite different.

Also, a tip for cybertruck drivers: retract the tonneau cover while carrying explosives and dangerously flammable cargo to add armour between the cargo area and cabin

The driver wouldn't have been so exploded and burnt had they had the back opened and steel between them and the disaster in their cargo area

They did have explosives in there with them, at least in the form of firework mortars.

Explosives and fuel make a good fireball and fire. Fireworks being a 2 stage explosive, they may have expected the initial bang to disburse the fuel and the second to detonate it as a fuel/air explosive which would be very damaging, enough to take down the building.

Obviously were that their goal they did not sufficiently test. The vehicle contained the initial explosion and all they got was a fire

"somehow" Tesla armour their batteries well, also the fire was above the battery, little would have penetrated down to the battery and since the headlights stayed on during the doomed events, I expect battery cooling was active throughout

Everything I have heard is the cargo area was full of gasoline, camping gas, explosives including firework mortars

None of those things are prone to spontaneously catch fire or explode, so I expect it to be found to have been deliberate

I also expect that like the f150 lightning attack in New Orleans, this vehicle will turn out to have been hired.

I feel like a more flimsy vehicle would have released the fire and explosives more directly against the building, as it was it's only path out was the cabin via windows (the window to the cargo area, then the windows to outside)

The one dead seems to have been the driver

They go bad sitting out, losing volatiles and absorbing oxygen. Microwaving bad, old coffee gives you bad warm coffee

OTOH microwaving well stored coffee or some that has only just gone cold is the last damaging way of warming it
