Donald Trump just put a 10 percent tariff on the Heard Island and McDonald, which has a population of zero people and is inhabited only by penguins.

![post from hanniecat922 :
[regarding cybertruck ]
They're already having issues! The head lights are sunken in for some reason. This means there is a shelf to hold snow in front of the lights and block them.
Now, every car has to have the snow cleared off the headlights before you drive, but this is way worse. That shelf collects snow as you drive.
People have to pull over and clear the snow off mid-drive because they lose their headlights.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q4kdx6fcdk4jllhog2lhjxwe/bafkreialgsqb7qzcfi7xajbjwnxxiamybtrpbr7lf4iqenx6xffhxxzvry@jpeg)

Cops are great
So bad at their "jobs." Middle of the day guns blazing in a subway station. Chasing someone who didn't pay $2.90.
"The officers then used their tasers, but when that failed to subdue the farebeater, they opened fire just as a train arrived on the platform and opened its doors."
4 people shot.

Astonishing how, post-"recall" (Dec 12, 2023), there was, on average, an Autopilot-related accident every single week (20 total).
Tesla simply does not have a "full self-driving" system (Level 5). Nowhere close to one. They have a buggy Level 2 system with a bunch of deceptive marketing.

It should have been so immediately obvious that Tesla couldn't solve the obviously hardware-related problems with Autopilot using an over-the-air software update, but NHTSA just had to let a few more people die before actually doing their job

Ah yes, a "glitch." That is definitely the word I would use when reporting on a company intentionally skipping preflight checks and failing to turn on a critical system.
