That wasn’t the man who created the Segway though. The inventor & original owner is Dean Kamen. The company was sold to Jimi Heselden in 2009, and it’s Heselden who rode one off a cliff a year later.
Wait, I thought Tesla was a robotics company, and not a car company or battery tech company or solar company…
Russia may not, but many of the countries currently buying cheap oil from Russia will. If sanctions against India, China, Turkey, etc. result in them halting, or even lowering, payments to Russia then it has the desired effect.
Terrorism is all about terror.
Imagine a major league football or baseball stadium packed to capacity. Two or three drones, each with a relatively small explosive charge surrounded by shrapnel fly in, crash into the spectators, and detonate. You end up with a small number of immediate casualties like what happened at the Boston Marathon. But the stampede of tens of thousands of panicking people trying to rush out of the stadium will probably injure and kill many more. Have a car bomb or two strategically located a couple blocks away where you expect those crowds to run and you’ve succeeded in your terror plans quite nicely…
LLM tools are quickly going to become the propaganda spewing things that conservative lawmakers have often claimed search engines like Google & Bing are. Only in these cases it’s hidden in the code used to train these models rather than just websites that are scraped. Just look at the examples we’re already seeing like Grok relying on Elon, and the Missouri AG insisting that AI’s praise Trump.
Is it a bad thing that I read this as “cheap slut”?
A cop where I used to live resigned in disgrace after a dashcam caught him pulling over a car while off duty (possibly drunk), pulling out his gun and threatening to shoot the driver.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he worked for ICE now.
Wait. I thought all those student loan forgiveness programs had been torpedoed by Trump.
Or are they waiting for some super-wonderful forgiveness for ICE employees only that Trump plans to bribe them with? I hate to break it to them but if they’re waiting for this then Trump will very likely rescind it the moment you tender your resignations.
Wouldn’t surprise me if these people couldn’t land jobs as run-of-the-mill police officers, much less mall cops. That, and they probably enjoy the anguish they inflict on others.
I’m calling it. Pretty soon Trump is going to demand the construction of giant fans along the US/Canada border to blow all the smoke back into Canada.
Can I use your phone to view the menu? The camera in my phone is broken.
1000x this. I have two uncles who are retired USCG and a few other family members who volunteered with the USCG Auxiliary. I’ve met a USCG helo pilot as well as a number of small boat crew. What these people train for and the conditions they can operate in would make the vast majority of us (including cops) run in fear. We’re talking flying a helicopter into hurricane force winds, rescue swimmers jumping into 20 foot waves, etc. all to rescue a boat full of complete strangers. Then there are the surf boat crews that will pilot a 47 foot lifeboat into similar conditions. Those boats are actually designed to roll over 360 degrees so that they’ll self-right if a wave rolls them over.
I have the utmost respect for all of these people who regularly put themselves in harms way to help rescue others.
Must capitalize Every other Word in Every run-On sentence.
Clearly he threw himself out a high rise window and made a perfect landing in the car.
That plus a well configured pi-hole. I don’t even get ads in my iPhone apps thanks to it.
Executive order exempting all religions from state mandates will be signed just as soon as the appropriate bribes donations are received.
Despite the risks, firms and Trump are eager to get people back into offices.
Return-to-office (RTO) mandates have caused companies to lose some of their best workers, a study tracking over 3 million workers at 54 "high-tech and financial" firms at the S\&P 500 index has found. These companies also have greater challenges finding new talent, the report concluded.
Tesla just released a SiriusXM streaming app for the Model 3, Y, and Cybertruck. I’m a longtime SiriusXmM subscriber, and actually have a free streaming account with them. Ever since I got my MY I’ve listened via their streaming app on my phone & Bluetooth.
Not only will my current streaming account not transfer to the Tesla app, but I also can’t activate an old existing account with it either. In fact I can’t even add the Tesla streaming account to my existing SiriusXM account. They want me to create a new account on SiriusXM with a different email address just for the Tesla app. The fact that I’d have to create and manage a second account is downright absurd. Whoever approved that asinine decision at SiriusXM should be fired…
I guess I’ll just keep streaming their stuff through my iPhone…
Most of the major EV makers and charging networks are on board.

This just popped into my head after a similar question came up with a coworker…
Back a few decades ago I worked in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA. My office window looked out towards another building about 15 feet away, and for some reason our floors were about 8 feet higher than the other building. So we could look down into the offices across the way.
The person in the office I could see into had his desk set up so that his back was to the window and he faced his office door. This gave me and my coworkers a clear view of his computer screen over his shoulder. He played Microsoft solitaire constantly, except when somebody walked in. He would very quickly close it so he wouldn’t get caught.
My coworkers and I actually tried to figure out his phone number, but never did. We wanted to call him up and tell him he should have played the red 9 on the black 10…
