It’s ridiculous how nowadays a lot of hardware car features are locked behind a simple software switch. Feels like both a massive waste of resources for people that don’t buy the upgrades, and like having to pay for a feature that is already physically present in your car. Software-only upgrades like full self driving are understandable, hardware upgrades locked behind a software gate aren’t.
That will hold true until the manufacturers realize that there will always be someone smart enough to break their software lock, and on a car, there’s always ample incentive to do so.
I wouldn’t expect them to recall. More likely that it will void all warranties and if you ever bring it to a dealership for anything they lock it and charge you for it. Or they go the DRM route and force cars to be always online to verify the software, and going offline locks out those extra features. Also possibly pushing for laws making hacking obscenely punishable.
If it's cheaper then they should include it. It's like being cheaper to make a more powerful engine then software limiting the car to only go to so many RPMs or speed. It's that John Deere bullshit all over again.
If Russia sinks a vessel, they are going to get a big pile of missiles sinking their Black Sea Fleet. It will be up to Russia if they wish to actually start WWIII or just take their lumps for something they chose to start.
“The combination of upbeat economic data and the U.S. government credit rating downgrade caused mortgage rates to rise this week,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Despite higher rates and lower purchase demand, home prices have increased due to very low unsold inventory.”
Obvious third variable might be conscientiousness. People low on that personality trait may be generally more likely to pick their noses and catch COVID.
The researchers said as the nose was a main route for coronavirus to get into the body, nose-picking may make infection easier by directly introducing virus particles on the hands into the nose.
Why do so many creeps in the US end up in a place like Oregon? I remember seeing something about how a good amount of serial killers live there in hiding?
Probabbly because it’s one of the more habbitable parts of the country that also is not too population dense. Major cities are less frequent in some places but they tend to be in the desert or something.
They finally tore down his favorite seattle college bar, Dantes, about 5 years ago. Its a car lot now, but at least it only lasted another 40 years or so after he killed all those women.
Klamath County is huge, sparsely populated and filled with off grid homesteads on massive but very cheap parcels of land especially in places like Tableland. There is truly so little out there that if you don’t want to be bothered, it’s the place to be. There’s also basically no cops. It’s the modern wild west.
Not to make light of the situation but the person needs some masonary classes. Someone with enough determination could probabbly take out a column or two with their shoulder the way they’re stacked.
Seriously. It’s incredibly lucky for this woman that this guy can’t build for shit. Even if the blocks were built properly, you could probably just kick out that door.
Edit: or even just push that “ceiling” aside and climb over
Complete nightmare fuel. I don’t even want to think about how many people are trapped in situations like this, or never make it out of them. Castro had those girls locked up for a decade or more. awful.
"The Klamath Falls rental home where Zuberi allegedly took the woman is owned by the city’s mayor, Carol Westfall, and her husband, Kevin, according to property records.
Court records show that after Zuberi’s arrest, the couple had him evicted."
Nice mayor. Zuberi is in jail so they didn't evict him ... they evicted his wife and child.
Carol & Kevin Westfall should be forced to allow the wife and child back into the rental.
The wife is likely either an accomplice and should also be in jail, or another victim and remaining in that house would be traumatizing. You don’t just have secret prisons in your garage without others noticing that live in the same house.
Alternatively they protected themselves from liability as it is unlikely the mother was unaware of the prisoner. Just because someone has less wealth does not mean they are a good person.
Systemic issues. The problem is that the jury is probably correct that under current Louisiana laws this pig did nothing wrong technically. We all know it’s fucked up but we’ve allowed our laws to be shaped by the people who abuse them.
Whether he broke the law or not is completely irrelevant. 9 times out of 10, a jury in Louisiana is going to be composed of white racists who will always side with a white cop, because that’s the primary demographic of the state.
For starters, let’s be clear: Jacob Brown committed battery, a violation of Louisiana state law. This case is about an alleged violation of Federal law and simply isn’t a battery case. That means it’s not as cut and dry as “we have this guy on video committing battery with a flashlight, of course he’s guilty”.
So if you want to claim this case is open and shut or cut and dry, you need to point to some element of that law Jacob violated and then explain how it’s so obvious he violated that element.
My first guess, and to be clear, I am speculating, is that they tried to prove Jacob battered Aaron because Aaron was black. That means proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Jacob doesn’t simply beat everyone up, which is very difficult to prove, especially since so many cops genuinely do simply beat everyone up.
