Maybe, but it’s still the case that slowing down will impart less energy to the collision. Let up on the brake before impact if you want, but you should have been braking once you first saw the deer in the road.
Sometimes those fuckers just jump out at you at the last minute. They’re not smart. But if you click the link, this one was right in the middle of the road, with that “Deer in the headlights” look. There was plenty of time to slow down before impact.
Using your credentials is not hacking, but once he was canned he no longer had authorization to access those systems. Legally, there is probably no distinction between gaining access by actual hacking vs. using credentials that are no longer authorized.
So yes, their IT processes are deficient, but that doesn’t let the guy off the hook or mitigate his punishment.
Drivers in rural areas are taught to hit the brakes and maintain their lane.
Which the Tesla didn’t do. It plowed full speed into the deer, which arguably made the collision much much worse than it could have been. I doubt the thing was programmed to maintain speed into a deer. The more likely alternative is that the FSD couldn’t tell there was a deer there in the first place.
They can always ask their pal MBS to proofread.
The founders who wrote the Emoluments clause would have a cow if they saw that this guy, who was President once and is a coin flip away from doing it again, is quite literally traded on a public market. That alone should disqualify him.
I think there is all sorts of foreign money pouring into that to prop up his personal net worth. And while I have no proof of that, just the fact that it looks like that is possible should be enough to steer votes away.
But alas, 74 million people saw no problem with it last time, and that number is likely to grow.
- He has given the Medal of Freedom to mostly sports players.
If he has stopped there it wouldn’t be that bad. But he also gave it to Gym Jordan, Devin Nunez, and Rush Limbaugh.
And Ed Meese, one of Reagan’s AGs who had to resign sue to scandal.

It said right in the article that they were trading insults:
Trump has described Harris as someone with a low IQ and said she would be like “a play toy” for other world leaders. “They’re going to walk all over her,” he has said.
Some of Trump’s former top aides from his 2017-2021 term in the White House described him as a fascist with the intent to govern in a second term as an authoritarian. Harris said she agreed with the characterization.

A great Canadian philosopher once said “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice!”
If I were hiring for a forklift operator, and someone was a good candidate who came with experience but their prior employer didn’t certify him properly, I would pay for the certification. $300 seems like noise compared with the general cost of onboarding a new employee. But it’s been a while since I worked in Manufacturing/Operations, and when I did the managers at that place were competent, so maybe my standards are too high.
Look, we just how how much these folks fetishize citizenship status. They think the illegals are flooding in and eating their cats. Do you honestly think one would pose as a non-citizen just to get out of jury duty, particularly when they have a valid excuse anyway?
If you are going out of your way to find ill intent, look to the clerk at the other end of that phone line. Because it could have been a simple “tick the wrong box” mistake. Or, it could have been an overachiever who assumes that anyone who wants out of jury duty is probably one of those cat eaters. How many other people did s/he tick the “not a citizen” box for?
And regardless, when the lady presented the proper proof she still got stonewalled until the journalist got involved. I bet any other people who got this treatment didn’t have the white connections to get it resolved properly.
In that case, OP should just be honest about the status of his certification. If other employers hire from WalMart often, they know their practices. The new employer may even want to pay for the classes, if they know the candidate has done the job before and is likely to pass. But I don’t know how much it costs and whether a company would normally pay for that.
It may not have happened here, but it sure as hell happened in Germany 85 years or so ago. How did that turn out?
Yes. In fact, in the US, it can be a crime for a doctor to aid someone in distress, if that person is a pregnant woman and helping them might harm the baby they are carrying.

Dude should go a step further and push for PR statehood.
For the same reason non batshit-crazy people realize that illegals are not voting in droves: lying to the court is a serious crime, just like lying to register to vote is a crime. Why would she lie when she had a perfectly valid excuse?
Why would you not believe her? Lying to get out of jury duty is generally a crime. Why would she lie when she had a valid excuse?
And even if you did not believe her, the whole point of the opposition to these voter laws is that citizens have an inherent right to vote that shouldn’t be taken away by the bureaucracy. And you can’t just waive your citizenship because you said you weren’t a citizen one time. Even if she tried to get out of jury duty by lying about her citizenship, that shouldn’t affect her eligibility to vote at all. (Depending on the severity of the crime and the state laws, she might become ineligible after being convicted, but that will take a while and it will likely never get that far.)
The sad irony of this is that her story highlights all the worst parts of these voter laws, yet she will still continue to support them, because she believes the lies regarding illegals voting.
Or is it simply cheaper to manufacture while being sold for the same price?
Yes, it’s mainly that. Most vendors don’t make their own power adaptors anyway, since there are strict requirements for power adaptors that are plugged into AC wall sockets in each country. The stuff inside the large brick is likely sourced from somewhere else, who has all those certifications worldwide. Note that it also uses standard AC power cable plugs. That large brick can be shipped worldwide by simply changing the AC cable it ships with.
The small GaN Brick is also outsourced, but since it is smaller it is probably more expensive to build. However, the AC plug is integrated into it, which means the seller has to stock physically separate units for each plug type if they want to ship worldwide.
As far as the price is concerned, this one shop is selling them all at around the same price, but I bet the MSRP on the Lenovo one is much higher, because of the brand. The parts inside the Lenovo one are probably cheaper.
If you read the article, though, she says she called in and said she couldn’t do jury duty because she was taking care of young children (which is a valid excuse in many states). The person on the other end of the phone probably checked the wrong box on a form.
Which happens, as mistakes do, but the law in Texas states particular remedies for that, and those laws were not followed.
It all turned out OK in the end, this lady got use vote back due to the diligence of the press. She will likely use it to continue to vote for policies that make it harder for others to vote (and stay registered to vote), unironically.
But no other lifeless rock in space has abandoned shopping malls…
