What if they tortured with wrenches in both hands? That would double torturing capacity.

My reasoning: fuck ‘em. That and loyalty points.

My peaceful, law abiding neighbors were taken away by ICE thugs in a totally unnecessary military style raid in my upper-middle-class suburb. Absolutely no due process. Their autistic, profoundly disabled child was left alone, scared and unable to understand what was happening. After over a month of detention, the neighbors were released. Turns out they weren’t so dangerous after all.

This, to me, is a fucking disaster.

How does FOSS prevent someone from pulling your teeth out with a wrench to get your passphrase?

You can 3d print a Polybar guitar, hand wire some mechanical keyboard switches to a microcontroller, and download Clone Hero to get the Guitar Hero experience today!

That’s pretty much what the EV charging landscape is, right?

I refuse to ever fly Southwest because of their history of open seating. I refuse to ever fly Spirit or other American discount airlines because I want to keep the nickle and diming to a minimum. I fly less than I could if I sought out rock bottom airfares, and that’s ok.

The “smugglers” are exploited serfs forced into smuggling through threats of violence on themselves and their facilities. There is no shortage of people who exploit.

It would be possible to board and arrest smugglers with “a nuke or whatever”. Why the fetishization of murder?

The idea is that you board and capture, and assert in court they were smuggling drugs. Blowing them up makes that difficult or impossible to prove.

There’s VIDEO? Has the Trump administration been caught lying? Using AI or doctored videos? (Yes.)

Show the law where not flying a flag means you can blow up a ship. I see plenty of boats every day not flying flags. They could be smuggling drugs. Why not explode them too?

He was a horrible drug smuggler. I heard the government said so.

Prove it.

Not all boats fly a flag. A national flag is not required in may cases. Not all planes file flight plans.

Yes.

No, you know the US government said there was no fishing equipment on board. The US government has no credibility.

Who’s to say these aren’t doctored, ai-generated images? Where’s the third party verification?

The majority of American citizens do not support the policies of the current administration.

Specifically which guidelines? Not a URL. Not hand wavey “oh you know the guidelines”. A text list of the guidelines that are not followed.

They really are simply nuts. A harness? No need!

Right, you need a heater to keep things happy! I added a little heater to my LiFePO4 battery packs that live outside. It seems fine like that to take the edge off. Way better than exploding!

Nice

You mean like those local laws that say you can’t walk a cow backwards through the main streets? Or laws that say a motor vehicle must be preceded by a lamp carrier.

People who are older or with limited mobility find it far easier to get see multiple destinations without having to unpack/pack, navigate difficult airports, etc. I have been on a few, and while I’m not the biggest fan, they’re not terrible if you are traveling with folks who have mobility issues. I would not go on a cruise after COVID, though.

They’re also far less expensive than many other vacations, especially if you have kids and are considering Disney stuff.

Still a human Petri dish.

Can you try your questions again, but this time coherently?

also the fact that it doesn’t have an internal battery

LiFePO4 can't really be charged and don't like being discharged below freezing.

It's far cheaper and easier to just pluck a readily available 12V power supply off the shelf than it is to design one that will have limited applications outside of a single manufacturer.

Ratio of U.S. vehicles recalled in 2024 → 2024 U.S. sales

Tesla: 5,135,991 → 516,597 ≈ 9.94.

Ford: 4,777,161 → 2,078,832 ≈ 2.30.

GM: 1,872,567 → 2,700,000 ≈ 0.69.

Toyota: 1,221,666 → 2,330,000 ≈ 0.52.

Honda: 3,794,113 → 1,291,490 ≈ 2.94.

A Tesla sold in 2024 was roughly 4 times more likely than a Ford to be involved in a recall campaign that year. Despite selling far fewer vehicles, Tesla’s recalls affected nearly ten times its annual U.S. sales volume.

This reflects a structural difference, not media bias. Tesla initiates fewer recall campaigns overall, but those campaigns routinely involve millions of vehicles. When normalized for sales volume, Tesla’s recall exposure is the highest of any major automaker. “Innovation risk” cuts both ways.

What about the Hyundai/Kia antitheft recalls? Those dominated the news for /years/.

You’re not actually asking about media fairness. You’re defending Elon Musk under the usual “everyone’s unfair to Elon” routine. Now think about the difference in public visibility between the Ford CEO and the Tesla CEO. Which one’s name alone drives more clicks and engagement?

Musk injects himself into the news constantly. When you build your brand on publicity, you also get the scrutiny that comes with it. No need to play at the victim narrative.
