People should buy whatever they want but I love my Niro. I can drop the seats and throw my bike in the back really easily and my commute is short enough that I’ve barely even used fuel the past 3 months.
Maybe I’m just not seeing it here, but how is continuing to sell these shoes not reinforcing Kanye’s brand? I understand they’re donating some revenue to a good cause, but the article also makes it sound like Adidas is still making a healthy profit off these shoes. This just reeks of corporate pandering and virtue signaling. If Adidas really wanted to make a difference, they could take what they need to cover their costs and donate substantially more than that $10 million.
Definitely ironic to me that there’s so much fear about EV batteries spontaneously combusting. And in the end, one of the largest recalls for spontaneous combustion is from an oil regulator in an ICEV 😅
You aren’t wrong, but at the same time, I’m not buying a Hyundai/Kia ev anytime soon either. They constantly have electrical problems with fire risks.
And considering that they’ve buried stuff before (metal shavings in their ICE engines like 4 years ago), I could easily see an EV wiring problem they’re sitting on lest they destroy their standing in the EV market. Not that EV fires are actually much worse than gas car fires (a little harder to put out, but far less explodey (gas is also hard to put out, just not as hard.))
I think gasoline fires are easier to put out because basically every fire station everywhere has the equipment/chemicals to deal with an oil/gas fire while not everywhere has the material and training to put out a large battery fire
Yet.
At one time, fire stations didn’t have the knowhow and equipment to put out gasoline fires, but now cars are everywhere and they do. Give it time and even the most podunk volunteer fire station will have stuff to deal with vehicle battery fires.
Not ironic, but a responsible thing to do. The fact Tesla still plays stupid after all the reported issues and hasn’t issue any recalls speaks volumes. Car being recalled means they are taking the correct path. They have identified the issue, found the solution and are recalling cars to fix it.
Brown still faces state charges in the violent arrest of yet another Black motorist, a case in which he boasted in a group chat with other troopers that “it warms my heart knowing we could educate that young man.”
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.
"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.
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.
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
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.
