Traffic Fatalities Are a Choice — Asterisk
  • One of my biggest gripes about driving in America is the signage and foliage that obstructs peripheral vision. I got T-boned by someone that blatantly ran a red light because a store sign close to the sidewalk blocked my vision. I had no way to see that the car was coming at a rate that would clearly blow through the intersection until I was already in the intersection after the light turned green. My other gripe is that the laws we actually have on the books don't get enforced. Speeding everywhere. Final gripe involves the lack of sidewalks or safe ways for pedestrians to cross roads that operate at higher speeds. Had a friend that got hit and die in my arms after crossing in the crosswalk, when they clearly had the right of way, by someone that accelerated to run a red left hand turn signal. On top of this the pedestrian safe to walk lights in that intersection don't give you nearly enough time to actually cross 6 lanes of traffic and allow rights on red. The intersection/road I speak of has seen multiple pedestrian deaths over the course of decades.

  • Congressman Shri Thanedar Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against President Donald J. Trump for High Crimes and Misdemeanors | U.S. Congressman Shri Thanedar
  • Impeachment is a formal process used to formally accuse a public official, including the president, of misconduct while in office. It's a legislative action, not a court trial, and is the first step in the process of potentially removing the official from office and disqualifying them from holding future office. The House of Representatives initiates impeachment proceedings by drafting and voting on "articles of impeachment," which are essentially charges of misconduct. If enough people in the house vote to impeach, they kick it over to the senate to have a trial. It takes 2/3 or 66% of the senate to convict before he can be removed from office. The last 2 times the house was able to vote on the articles of impeachment. When it got kicked to the senate the last 2 times, there weren't enough votes to convict. This is because republican senators were more interested in protecting the republican party than they were the country. Most of us would rather lawfully remove Trump from office. The constitution is still important and many of us still believe in it. Even if it's not successful, it still has a purpose. The people that vote no on impeachment are going on public record to aid an abet his crimes, potentially opening themselves up to legal consequences once trump is gone. Also, exhausting all avenues of the law makes civil disobedience more legitimate should things get bad enough to come to that.

  • Today, Congressman Shri Thanedar (MI-13) introduced articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, citing a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy and threaten the rule of law.

    "Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy," said Rep. Thanedar. "His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act."

    The resolution includes seven articles of impeachment outlining a range of constitutional violations.

  • I just shelled out to upgrade my 9 year old PC. Upgraded from an rtx 1060 to 4060. My current i5 is like 9400F and now I am upgrading to a 13400f. I've been wanting to and holding off for a while, but if things are going to get more scarce and more expensive, might as well do it now while I have money to spend.

  • "Cars and Independence" (Art by Sylvia Odhner)
  • I grew up with great public transit, and having access to a bicycle, (NYC.) In my 20s I realized that attempting to own and maintain a car would be so expensive that I would not be able to save money for the future. I ride my bike everywhere. If I want to go somewhere more than 50 miles away, or where transit doesn't go, I rent a car. I rent a car maybe 2x a year tops. Depending on how long I'm renting the car I probably spend $400 a year on rentals + insurance. My last bike I had for 20 years. Cost me $1400 brand new, spread that cost out over 20 years, owning the bike cost me $70 a year. It was easy to repair myself, and the tools to repair it were inexpensive to purchase. Fuck cars indeed.

    FCC chief targets Comcast-owned outlets over ‘news distortion’

    The Federal Communications Commission chief blasted news outlets owned by Comcast over their coverage of a case involving a mistakenly deported Salvadoran immigrant who the Trump administration contends is a gang member.

    “Comcast outlets spent days misleading the American public — implying that Abrego Garcia was merely a law abiding U.S. citizen, just a regular “Maryland man,” FCC Chair Brendan Carr wrote in a post on the social platform X. “When the truth comes out, they ignore it.”

    Carr said Comcast, like all major media conglomerates that operate news divisions, “knows that federal law requires its licensed operations to serve the public interest.”

    “News distortion doesn’t cut it,” he added.

    Carr’s condemnation of NBC News and MSNBC’s parent company comes a day after President Trump issued a similar threat to the broadcast network and referenced Comcast’s plans to spin off its cable assets this year.

    arstechnica.com Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims

    This is a separate case to the lawsuits alleging Tesla misleads about range.

    Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims

    The lead plaintiff in the case, Nyree Hinton, bought a used Model Y with less than 37,000 miles (59,546 km) on the odometer. Within six months, it had pushed past the 50,000-mile (80,467 km) mark, at which point the car's bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. (Like virtually all EVs, Tesla powertrains have a separate warranty that lasts much longer.)

    For this six-month period, Hinton says his Model Y odometer gained 13,228 miles (21,288 km). By comparison, averages of his three previous vehicles showed that with the same commute, he was only driving 6,086 miles (9,794 km) per 6 months.

    Edit: I just want to point out that I just learned that changing your tires to ones of a different diameter can also affect how your spedometer clocks. So yeah, this issue is full of nuance and plausible things as to why this could not be true.

    Doctors have been pushing the province to stop employers from requiring sick notes, a process they say wastes time they could spend treating patients with more urgent needs.

    B.C. Labour Minister Jennifer Whiteside and Health Minister Josie Osborne unveiled the legislation Tuesday, saying it will free doctors up from needless paperwork, while preventing sick people from spreading their illness just to get a sick note.

    Trump is judge shopping end union contracts with government workers.

    The administration of President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit claiming that dozens of labor contracts between unions and federal agencies are invalid because they impede Trump's abilities to purge the federal workforce and protect national security.

    The departments of Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs and four other agencies sued in Waco, Texas, federal court late on Thursday seeking a ruling that an executive order, opens new tab issued by Trump earlier in the day excluding certain agencies from collective bargaining requirements allows them to cancel existing contracts.
