Regardless of truck size, I don’t think tractor trailers are going anywhere. Even if we made trucks smaller those would still be out there

Smaller trucks would still get in accidents though, and I imagine they would be less deadly

Mods, I appreciate this bot!

Deciphering media bias is tough, and finding 1 site that will ‘perfectly’ identify biases is an impossible task, but at the minimum having this bot show up on posts ‘gets people thinking’ about the credibility of their news sources.

MBFC doesn’t have to be the ultimate arbitrator either. If it is missing something about a specific article people can call it out in the comments. At the end of the day, the worst thing it does is add more data about a news source and I’m not gonna complain about that.

Currently it cannot. It does let you select which applications it records from though (ex: I have it set to record my game audio, discord, and my microphone, but not Spotify).

Went for 2 weeks in March, can 2nd this.

Not having soap drove me nuts! There was like 4-5 bathrooms I used that didn’t have it.

Thank You for experiencing this roller coaster so I don’t have to

…is this not just a muffler/silencer for leaf blowers? Good on these kids! This definitely falls under the ‘why didn’t I think of that!’ category for me.

Not excusing drunk driving, but based on the shape of the road I see how this happened. From Google maps, if the driver was coming from blanchett street there is a bend in the road right in front of the building. Here is what it looks like from street view. The driver was probably drunk and/or lost control of the vehicle and went speeding forward into the side of the building.

Drunk at 3pm? Jesus.

They could make more specialized robots, but I imagine the selling point is the versatility. A specialized robot can make food at a fast food restaurant, but can it also deliver food to customers, mop floors, and clean bathrooms? Adding a specialized robot to a kitchen or a factory floor may require you to completely re-design how the floor/room is set up, but adding a humanoid shaped robot would not require any extra setup (well, besides teaching it/programming it).

Spot has been used as a security guard/ inspector at some sites. Going up stairs/ladders would be extremely difficult for something on wheels/treads, but for a robot that works like a human it could be easy.

Radar Intercept Officer

The guy who sits in the back seat of the F14 and operates the radio and radar.

I’d say this is less on the ability of Russian assassin’s and more on this guy for reaching out to his girlfriend back in Russia.

In Spain, Mr. Kuzminov lived “an indiscreet life,” the senior Guardia Civil official said. He went to bars popular with Russian and Ukrainian clientele, burning through the money he had received from the Ukrainian state. He drove around Villajoyosa in a black Mercedes S-Class.

Exactly how the killers found him has not been established, though two senior Ukrainian officials said he had reached out to a former girlfriend, still in Russia, and invited her to come see him in Spain.

“This was a grave mistake,” one of the officials said.

So, the Alaska Airlines door plug incident is more than likely Boeing’s fault(we don’t have the footage or a record of who did the repair because Boeing deleted/lost it…which makes me even more suspicious tbh), but this was a 25yr old 737-800 Boeing hasn’t seen in decades. This looks like a united maintenance issue as do all the other united 737 issues.

Now, don’t get me wrong, Boeing definitely has a plethora of issues going on, but I think the FAA might want to also look into United’s maintenance department as well cause they’re also having a plethora of issues.

Ty for the link. I remember the day he died my dad was pretty torn up by it. Now I have a lot more context.

So,

1. Fuck Nazis

2. Not defending a Nazi but let me give a little more context on the guns they found:

2a. Everything found in the car is pretty fucky. I highly doubt he actually had a Fully auto M4 rifle, it’s probably just some variant of AR-15,but if it is a fully auto rifle, dude is extra fucked and could be looking at a 20yr prison sentence just for that. Ruger pistol could be anything, but is probably your typical handgun especially if he had 3 mags.

2b. The firearms at home are a mix. A Glock pistol is a Glock pistol, 9mm is no small caliber. The Smith and Wesson MP-15 rifle and Walther Pistol Model P22 sound/look scary (the MP-15 is even modeled after the AR-15), but these both shoot .22lr which is more of a sporting/target practice round. Here is a picture for comparison, the larger round on the right is .223 or 5.56 which is what the “m4a1” they found would shoot. Of course, these are still firearms and are still lethal, but it’s kind of like the difference between a box cutter and a k-bar: both are deadly, but one is deadlier than the other. The Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works 12-gauge shotgun is probably your typical hunting shotgun. Shotguns have fallen out of favor with the military/ law enforcement as they aren’t as effective as rifles, but they are still used for hunting/sport shooting.

All of this to say: of the 6 guns they found he has only 3 of them were the spooky/scary assault type. This guy (personally) wasn’t trying to arm a small militia and is an even greater idiot because all of those guns/ammo/accessories he owned probably cost a couple thousand dollars and he just threw that all away.

He is a Nazi though, so he was already fucking stupid to begin with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m not big of naming anything after traitors, but out of all of them Confederate General Bragg arguably did more to help the union than the confederacy.

Bragg is generally considered among the worst generals of the Civil War. Most of the battles he engaged in ended in defeat. Bragg was extremely unpopular with both the officers and ordinary men under his command, who criticized him for numerous perceived faults, including poor battlefield strategy, a quick temper, and overzealous discipline. Bragg has a generally poor reputation with historians, though some point towards the failures of Bragg’s subordinates, especially Major General and former Bishop Leonidas Polk—a close ally of Davis and known enemy of Bragg—as more significant factors in the many Confederate defeats under Bragg’s command. The losses suffered by Bragg’s forces are cited as highly consequential to the ultimate defeat of the Confederacy.

Looks like he wrote this article for his book on this that is coming out on Oct 24th: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/217260/ours-was-the-shining-future-by-david-leonhardt/

The Big Cat Public Safety Act was enacted last December and bans the importation, sale and possession of prohibited wildlife species, such as tigers, jaguars and leopards. Jaguars are also listed as an endangered and are therefore protected under the 50-year-old Endangered Species Act.

Thank you Tiger King?
