Insane Tesla story coming out of Norway today.
You probably forgot about this weird Tesla crash from 2023 where a Model Y taxi had two bizarre 'sudden acceleration' crashes in just a few seconds.
The driver claimed the car accelerated on its own and he was pressing the brake pedal. Tesla claimed its data shows he was pressing the accelerator.
The driver was charged, but the charges were later dropped for lack of evidence, and there are indeed some serious problems with the evidence.
While Tesla did share some telemetry data, the automaker claimed that the last 6 seconds were somehow missing.
It turned out that someone went inside the vehicle, opened up the onboard computer, and removed the network card, which an expert believes would hold critical evidence.
Everyone involved claims not to know where the card is.
In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
@rwhitegoose@sammosammy@homeonice222 I think this underestimates the human factors of being a tiny person next the wonders of the world. Walking into St. Peter's Basilica in Rome will make you feel tiny and you will totally understand why people of previous centuries thought there were something divine in play
“Let me get this straight, you can buy a burrito on an interest-free instalment plan?”
“That’s right, and we’re not even based in the Chipotle store.”
“So, you finance this by packaging the burrito instalment loans into Burrito CDO A, which has part of Burrito CDO B and both get put into Burrito CDO C?”
“Yeah. The original loans are backed by burritos. Chicke. Pork. Carne Asada. Whatever. But Burrito CDO C is a synthetic Burrito CDO. A CDO of Burrito CDOs.”
“Ok, let’s say we have an underlying pool of $10,000 in burritos. How much money could be out there betting on instalment loans and your synthetic burrito CDOs?”
“Probably $100,000,000.”
“C’mon! How much bigger is the market for burrito instalment loans than actual edible real-life cheesy burritos?”
“At least 100x.”
“That is fucking crazy.”
“No, it’s awesome.”
