Apart from its digital gauge cluster that also serves as the rearview camera display, power locks, cruise control, and a forward-collision-warning system with automated emergency braking, the Truck offers little in the way of luxuries.

Sounds nice. I do like highway lane following, but not essential.

I hope the repercussions land on Trump and his cronies, and but just on this particular show of global bullying around tariffs.

Citation?

“And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit an attack,” investigators said in the federal affidavit.

What’s “mass” about one drone? Is this just language to bring different legalities to bear?

linking […] to immigration

Ah, so:

1. Gotta cut SS because of immigrants
2. Uh oh people really want SS
3. Look I saved SS by deporting immigrants

Yeah at this point I’m surprised you need to hack it before it’ll stop working.

TIL, I would have thought (if done correctly) you’d just pass out and then die. Though I guess altitude sickness is pretty unpleasant. Anyway, still opposed to the death penalty — too easy to be wrong, no need for state sanctioned murder in this age, etc.

Those who administered the method, according to Greenberg, described graphic scenes that included seizures, bleeding from the nose and mouth, and other issues as the animal died. Those in attendance of the nation’s first execution by nitrogen hypoxia shared similar disturbing details after attending the execution of Kenneth Smith in Alabama earlier this year, who was the first person to die in the U.S. by administration of gas for execution.

According to Death Penalty Info, wit­ness­es report­ed that Mr. Smith appeared awake for sev­er­al min­utes after the nitro­gen gas began. They observed that he “shook and writhed” for at least four min­utes before breath­ing heav­i­ly for anoth­er few min­utes. “This was the fifth exe­cu­tion that I’ve wit­nessed in Alabama, and I have nev­er seen such a vio­lent reac­tion to an exe­cu­tion,” said media wit­ness Lee Hedgepeth.

For better or worse, reading the linked article does not expose you to the fake images.

Interesting hack:

The hack exploits the random combination of numbers and letters used in such short codes, making it impossible to know where it’s leading until you get there. When customizing such links, the platform will stop you duplicating an existing shortcode, But Binder explains that “it appears that there was a bug in Bitly that allowed users to create a custom back-half that was previously in use if the original link or Bitly account that created the link was deleted or deactivated.”

WTF

For trails I already use OSM, how is it for navigation?

Apple maps? Other preferences?

I wonder what the options are no buck Google Navigation on my EV’s infotainment console.

Cool, new reply to Amazon & Meta recruiters.

In the video on NBC, I can’t even see Vu make any physical motion. One second they’re talking, the next Sgt. Joseph Gibson just loses his temper and throws the man on the pavement. Looks absolutely like he just can’t handle not getting his way.

Wow, 4 years to comply! Seems like a good change though.

I do think there’s use in reputable sources enshrining obvious facts about bad things going on. Nice to be able to point to them and say “see, it definitely is bad!” when people want to pretend it’s fine. (Or, “see, Exxon clearly knew decades ago,” for the good that does us.)

Yeah, paid my non-refundable deposit (grr), saw him buy Twitter, got out of there, bought a Volvo. Nicer hardware, actually preferable highway self driving for me, infotainment does take several minutes to boot. Very glad not to be trusting Musk’s word for my safety/privacy.

OK so yay disability rights, but makes me wonder how $50M compares to government bailout for airlines.

Those stock agreements, similar to options, this week are worth about $260 million, or less than 1 percent of the $37 billion the U.S. government gave 10 major passenger airlines last year to help pay their workers, according to a Washington Post analysis of Treasury Department data. Subsequent agreements taxpayers received as airlines got another $13 billion this year are, as of now, useless, although their value would rise if stock prices climb.

From the Washington Post. So, not much in comparison.

How are fire stations funded in Germany?

Norris Young, a passenger on the train, told NBC Philadelphia the train hit a “gigantic tree.” “There was a tree on the track, I don’t know if it fell on the track or if it was just laying on the track,” Young said.

So, train still on the track.

And then vote for Ranked Choice Voting (which may not be the ideal but is a paradigm shift improvement from First Past the Post).

No mention of reparations as part of this apology.

Although the community of Angoon received a $90,000 settlement from the Department of the Interior in 1973, it has long sought a formal apology.

Mentioning that previous amount just highlights that they aren’t doing more / something significant.
