Is it made of snails?

(/s, in case anyone wants to take that seriously)

Stasi gonna stasi. Honestly I can’t believe they didn’t just kidnap him to force his father to turn himself in and then deport them all.

The EU has approved G-triggered brake lights that do just that, flash rapidly on hard braking. I’ve only seen it on higher end cars so far, but they absolutely exist. Unfortunately in the US people stick brake flashers that blink in patterns every time they touch the brake. Mostly useless as they’re installed to be “look at me, aren’t I cool with my blinky brake lights?” rather than any additional safety.

More HHS cuts incoming.

Can’t revive the damn industry by waving a magic wand. Like steel mills and mines are just going to materialize because of some tariffs?

Yep. Your private data is one corporate fuckup or subpoena away from being accessed. A pretty thin barrier.

I’d have been shocked if it didn’t record everything. Who you call, texts, voice, installed apps ans usage. Snapping pics is pretty grim, though.

An incredible a feat, and this is it’s a pretty terrifying new way to conduct warfare.

Great. Use it for ocean going ships and boats. The bicarbonate will lower acidity in the water.

Probably fell and cracked his head while down the k-hole.

Yes, but China is forward looking while doing shitty things. The US is putting it in reverse gear while doing shitty things.

Somebody might actually get in trouble here for pissing off rich people. Regardless, the common investor will just get hosed.

Soon as people get rich and can avoid the consequences of being an asshole, the filter comes off and they become assholes.

Tanks.

How very Russian.

Think of them more like division heads. Not quite a regular middle manager, but not C-suite.

The “corporate raider” existed before that, infamously thanks to people like Frank Lorenzo dismantling Eastern Airlines in the ‘80s or Icahn to TWA. The late ‘70s and early ‘80s were rife with corporate raiders.

Innovation is enshittification these days. It used to be invention, where entirely new products and materials came about. Then there was innovation, incremental improvement coupled with price hikes. Now “innovation” seems strictly rearranging deck chairs with worse service, and reducing employee count for increased profits.

If you thought your service was bad now, it’s gonna get worse.

The problem with automation is complacency. Especially in something that people already have a very hard time taking seriously like driving where cell phone distraction, conversations, or just zoning out is super common.

Just forcing more people towards mechanics. Can’t see levels or if there might be an issue with a lubricant, so if you burn up a transmission, guess you gotta buy a new one.
