Weylandyuta , in Hyundai and Kia recall nearly 92,000 vehicles and tell owners to park them outside due to fire risk

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.

stu , in Adidas brings in $437 million from selling Yeezy shoes that will benefit anti-hate groups
@stu@lemmy.pit.ninja avatar

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.

MrMusAddict , in Hyundai and Kia recall nearly 92,000 vehicles and tell owners to park them outside due to fire risk

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 😅

Patius ,

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.))

CADmonkey ,

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.

Malfeasant ,

The trouble is, batteries carry around their own oxidizers, so smothering doesn’t work as well…

CADmonkey ,

That, and most fire stations aren’t set up to put out metal fires.

HurlingDurling ,

Dont forget the fact you can drive off with a usb cable as a key.

@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

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.”

To be continued...

Racism happened

@Skaryon @PenguinJuice

That special Louisianna-type of racism ... the kind that holds onto the Confederate flag like it's a life preserver.

Hyperreality ,

We can only guess.

On an entirely unrelated note, here's an article about Robert Fuller, who would later become leader of the Original Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Oh, what a strange coincidence. Monroe, Louisiana.

roguetrick ,

This is a federal case so all the filings and judicial decisions are up on pacer of anyone feels like looking.

catsarebadpeople ,

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.

MostlyBirds ,
@MostlyBirds@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Im14abeer ,

This was a federal civil rights case

quindraco ,

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”.

This is what Jacob Brown was charged with violating: www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242

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.

dragonflyteaparty ,

So this is separate from him being charged for battery and possibly excessive force?

quindraco ,

Yes.

girlfreddy , in Woman's escape from cinder block cell likely spared others from similar nightmare, FBI says
@girlfreddy@mastodon.social avatar

@MicroWave

"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.

ryathal ,

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.

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@mastodon.social avatar

@ryathal

The wife is not necessarily an accomplice. She hasn't been charged and is not in jail.

Please don't start rumours without evidence.

He likely violated the lease when he imprisoned the woman on the property.

girlfreddy ,

@EhList

They've still forced a mother and child into the streets.

EhList ,
@EhList@lemmy.world avatar

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.

girlfreddy ,
@girlfreddy@mastodon.social avatar

@EhList

You can't protect yourself from liability after the fact.

LexiconDexicon , in [AP News] Adidas brings in $437 million from the first Yeezy sale. Part of that will go to anti-hate groups

So they stole money from a black person

What a surprise. Nothing changes in this world, white people are still nazis and incredibly racist towards black people

glimse ,

Yeah it’s 100% a race thing. Kanye has done nothing to deserve the hate, it’s just because he’s black. Also the earth is flat and gravity isn’t real

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.

QuincyPeck ,

It’s one thing to be a horrible kidnapper and torturer, but a whole other level not to have any pride in your work.

SheeEttin ,

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

Yeah. Even 6 year olds know their Lego houses will fall apart if they don’t interleave the bricks.

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?

ShellMonkey ,
@ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com avatar

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.

Maybe just the location of being in between Seattle and California.

laylawashere44 ,

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.

sbonds ,

Very sparse population. But why is the population so sparse? Here’s a good answer: youtu.be/cOoFsehit6U
