I think you’ll find most cars have visible, obvious, manual door latches on the inside. I know the XPengs and BYDs certainly do.

The free speech absolutist gets upset when people don’t want to talk on his platform.

So they bought whatever “this” is while Apartheid Manchild was still in the womb?

The Manchild has never been a decent, normal human being. (The upbringing he received at the hands of his creepy father prevented that from being possible.) He was always what he is now. He just wasn’t rich enough to not care if people found out.

Worse.

They’re going to have to go to China to get the seals for those.

I mean it took a Chinese maker to get seals for one of the few remaining living people who needs an iron lung: https://www.wired.com/story/iron-lung-maker-community/

A truckload of “actual military support” that has such tight strings attached that it was basically useless except for a very fragile defensive posture.

Only this week has the USA actually finally allowed the Ukraine to go on the offensive with its kit.

Thing is, people leave and decide after a day or two they’re comfortable hanging out with Nazis, so they go back to the Nazi bar.

I genuinely think worse—far worse—of anybody with a Xhitter account, to the point of presuming that they can’t be trusted with anybody non-male and non-white. There are consequences, in the end, to supporting fascism, no matter what excuses people contrive.

The links left me more confused, not less.

Huh. TIL that Proudhon was a Marxist.

/s ← In case it wasn’t abundantly clear.

Don’t confuse anarcho-capitalism with anarchism. The former are disguised fascists. The latter are not.

Obligatory Link: Property Is Theft

This is something that can be addressed with owners, but what about passengers? Should they be carrying one around?

How 'bout Tesla just makes fucking mechanical door handles again?

You should not have to watch a video or read a manual to open a freaking car door.

👆 That right there.

The fuck are people supposed to do who don’t even own the car?

👆👆 And that even more so.

We have literally centuries of knowledge of human-machine interaction. We know what works and what doesn’t. We know the importance of getting this right from watching what would be a literal lake of blood if put into one location before us. And one of those things that works is making sure the emergency tools are very obvious and in our faces. The rear door instructions for the Model Y alone are a horror show for anybody who has ever been in a crisis before. And then on top of that not all Model Ys have such a latch anyway.

Everything about Tesla’s doors are horrific.

1. Not all Teslas have mechanical latches on all doors. Specifically some Model Ys don’t have them on the rear doors, apparently. (This is addressed in the article.) ¹

2. The mechanical latches have often been panned on the safety front because they’re inobviously located and operated. Point 4 addresses this further, but look at the instructions for the rear door in the Model Y in particular.¹ This is complex and confusing without panic and adrenaline. (This too was addressed in the article.)

3. Not everybody knows about the mechanical latches. While one could argue that the driver should know their vehicle, what makes you think the passengers are going to know this, especially given the poor placement of the latches. Especially given just how convoluted the rear door releases are. (This was also addressed in the article.)

4. When people are in mortal danger, figuring out complicated things, or remembering obscure things like where the manual release latches are, is not going to happen. If the control to open the door isn’t open, obvious, and in your face, you will not remember it unless you’ve been specifically trained to have this in your immediate-recall memory. That’s why pilots of aircraft spend so much time drilling the same thing over and over again. Or people in militaries. Or people in emergency services like fire departments. (This was addressed in the article as well.)

¹ From https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-AAD769C7-88A3-4695-987E-0E00025F64E0.html “Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.”

Technically speaking you’d have to say they did war crimes by modern standards.

A lot of what you describe wasn’t actually criminal at the time, see. It was called “war”.

Doesn’t make it any less horrific, mind.

I think it’s more like TEH BLOKKCHAYNE. It has no viable use cases so grifters are throwing it against the wall in the hope that somewhere, someone will pick it up and give them the money they need to escape the inevitable collapse that is coming.

I hate you so much right now.

“Set” to flee.

The best time to leave X for being a Nazi bar was at least a year ago.

The second best time to leave X for being a Nazi bar is right now.

And they’re “set”. Implying future.

So … you’re comfortable with fascists in your bar?

Congrats! You’ve got a fascist bar!

I mean, you do you and all that shit, but you’ll find that over time all you’re going to get is fascists as normal people bail out on you.

Ah, yes. Pandering. A sign of true quality in a human being.

An old saying that Dads are likely to have heard is “an elephant never forgets”. So “I have the memory of an elephant” is saying “I never forget.”

Unless you’re making a Dad joke.

In which case it means “I remember seeing an elephant once”.

It’s the usual business mindset.

Businesses never have the budget to, say, maintain their fleet of cars properly. But they have ten times the money to replace cars that broke down.
