I got a huge office printing center thing from government liquidation out of my nearby military base for $55. It came with more toner than I could ever use in my lifetime.

The right source for this kind of stuff is the NHTSA’s database, but you can’t manufacture juicy headlines from that.

Even the Lending Tree “article” has a disclaimer at the top that they haven’t reviewed or approved any of it.

Last time a garbage clickbait hit-piece like this pissed me off, I looked into the crash statistics myself and found Tesla vehicles were around 1/80th the average crash ratio per capita.

I’m sure this is somewhat skewed by the kinds of people driving them versus the average work vehicles and clunkers out there, but still, it just feels absurdly false to claim Teslas even approach the highest crash rate.

And even the sketchy “study” not even endorsed by the site it’s posted to, then linked by Forbes, then says Ram vehicles as the highest crash rate (lol), so it’s wild that Forbes goes on to say it’s Tesla at the top spot.

Unfortunately, the US Environmental Protection Agency (emphasis on mental) has rules in place regarding emissions per unit length of vehicle which effectively penalize manufacturers who make small vehicles.

You can debate anything if you’re stupid enough.

Anything but money, you mean.

We have altered the terms of service. Pray we do not alter them any further.

Yeah, especially in the EU where apparently their laws regarding circumventing DRM might make the people who fixed this the bad guys instead of this comically evil manufacturer who put GPS kill switches on public passenger trains.

If you RTFA, they were paid by the repair company who was paid by the private train operator to fix the train. In doing so, they reverse engineered the hardware/firmware and found the DRM added by the manufacturer to prevent the repair company from doing the repairs by bricking the train.

Why would they complain when they could just have the party’s healer offer to heal the NPC in exchange for something? That’d be especially great if they were a merchant.

Yep, I paid for a movie and they hit me with this, so they’re never getting another dime from me. What brain dead morons are responsible for restrictions like this? Is it really that hard to see what the only possible outcome is?

Man, I love Bandcamp, but I hear they got bought by Epic Games which does not bode well…

As a projector user, I’m wondering why I spent so much effort to get Windows installed and formatted properly to use its ultra fast boot mode…

You don’t want.

Why is that funny? That’s actually a nice idea.

The only thing more insufferable than celebrity worship is celebrity hate.

That’s why we’re here, is it not?

No, they pay money for Younger Brother, the capitalist version of Big Brother to watch them. Big Bro is always watching regardless.

They are exuberant about their exorbitant fees.
