Lane Kiffin’s framing of his Ole Miss departure is not going over well with his former players. The World Cup draw is in DC tomorrow and is sure to be a circus. The Cowboys face the Lions tonight and I think we’re gonna see if their surge has been realer not. And I guess that’s about it for sports.
I can’t wait to see the testimony. Only, nobody will see it because it’ll be behind closed doors and both sides will leak what they want to leak to create a narrative. But the media will undoubtedly give breathless coverage to one side of the story. Because they care more about scoring political points than they do what actually happened. Personally, I don’t give a shit.
Good. The rules were stupidity heaped upon stupidity. Like much of what the government’s regulatory state does.
What a bunch of cucks. Can’t say I’m surprised at anything that comes out of Old Blighty anymore.
I’m sure she knew a lot. And I’m sure she helped facilitate all of it she could.
Why, exactly, is it “worrying?” Corrections happen and bubbles burst all the time.
I’ll believe it when I see it. And I’d sure love to see it. But without the income tax, how can Team Blue play class war with all the people who pay the most but still “aren’t paying their fair share?” No way do I see this getting past the senate filibuster.
Oh, now you don’t like giant trade imbalances because it’s happening to you? Then stop your bitching about how we’re dealing with it here, Frenchie.
Oh no, this is awful. ::Sees how much was stolen:: ::points and laughs:: I have twice as much as that in my gun room.
I’d forgotten about this case. I’m gonna have to read up a bit more to form an opinion on the charges.
I assume they’ll shut it down. It’s a shame none of the dumbasses who run that state are capable of embracing nuclear power.
A little rock and roll. It never hurt anyone. Especially not from these guys. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Thursday, dear friends.
I can’t wait to see the testimony.

Seems like a solid response that in any other timeframe wouldn’t even make the news beyond a fleeting headline.
Horseshit. Even in combat, and there was no exchange of fire here, naval tradition is to pick up survivors for internment during hostilities, not to continue to fire or to leave them to drown. This was one of the characteristics of German U-boat tactics – that they did nothing for survivors; not exactly the precedent you want to be following.
This isn’t war and it isn’t law enforcement. What exactly does that leave?
Im not saying it is a valid response…im saying no one cared until today and that response has been used plenty of times in the past without an uproar outside a community like ours.
Oh there is no real uproar anywhere, just typical Democrat melodrama. They never said “boo” about Obama killing Americans overseas.
And wasn’t there a boat where it was disabled and we did pickup the survivors? So it seems this one was fog of war if thats the case as we did maintain that naval tradition…
I thought the naval traditional was rum, sodomy, and the lash.

I’m of the opinion they are fair game.

End of Break #1. Glad to see lynx and y’all a scurrying.
@OBE: Last the scanner showed an O2 thing. Likely the gas lid? *Shrug* Hopefully can get it checked today. Should hear from their Kia Guy.
O2 thing. Likely the gas lid?
No – that’s different. The gas lid or leak is for an evaporative fuel leak. The O2 sensor is different and can be for a variety of reasons. Some cheap some expensive.
If it’s running OK and your mileage seems OK nothing is likely to break, but you won’t pass an emissions inspection if your state has them.
Ya…O2 sensors arent hard (typically) to replace yourself.
Problem is there are usually two sensors and other things can throw them off. A clogged or worn out catalytic converter will throw O2 codes.
If it’s burning oil it will clog a new cat.
Don’t panic Evan – I’m not saying that’s the case here.
And very well could be an aftermarket gas cap…
Ive learned at least for Toyota…just get OEM
Thanks, all. I’m not concerned, but would rather have confirmation rather than the ol ‘tape over warning light’ strategy.
He got in touch and I’ll call after I eat. Should be no worry.
Sensei is correct, not the gas cap. O2 sensors have a heater, that is much like a light bulb filament. In a good cold snap on an old sensor, they are prone to failure and is the most likely cause. They are not hard or expensive to replace on most cars and won’t usually be too detrimental to driving.
I assume they’ll shut it down. It’s a shame none of the dumbasses who run that state are capable of embracing nuclear power.
Yeah, this story has been fun between the local nimby/chemical greenies on one side and the anti-fossil fuel greenies on the other side.

If Trump eliminates the income tax he can blow up all the speedboats he wants as far as I am concerned. But I’ll believe it when I see it.
Trump can’t even get the Dept of Education shut down. Eliminate the income tax? Sure if he wants to zero out the Defense budget.
He passed the OBBB so he can eliminate the income tax the following year? What layer of chess is this.
I think this is pigeon level. Knocking over the pieces and shitting on the board.
So he can zero out social security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Military is constitutional. Those others are not. And the bulk of the federal spending.

I sincerely applaud you for this position. However, my skepticism has reached a level where I do not believe that I can read a sufficiently accurate account of things in order to form an opinion.
So, my personal policy (which I sometimes fail to abide by) is to not have an opinion unless I need to have one. I do allow myself a very lightly-held presumption about things for entertainment purposes.
My biggest complaint is that nbc felt the need to throw that last paragraph in there.
But I’m not surprised they did.

Right?
And I’m sure she helped facilitate all of it she could.
Oh, ya know, some people did some things again.
Why, exactly, is it “worrying?”
The government won’t get as much property tax revenue?
Media fear-mongering – you won’t be able to make a killing when you sell your house!
This. Only the government can supply “affordable” housing – not the market.
Housing is perfect for the modern media. No matter what happens to the market you can write a scare piece. Prices rise, affordability crisis! Prices fall, trillions of equity wiped out! Prices stay steady, economy stagnates!
“ Housing is perfect for the modern media. No matter what happens to the market you can write a scare piece.”
NZ state media managed to do both on the same day last month. One story was really upset about the lack of affordable housing. Another was really, really worried about the falling price of real estate.
I think the primary skill needed for journalisming is a very short memory.
It’s rather comical. Who amongst us doesn’t think it’s great when we buy a car for less than the asking price? The asking price on real estate is just that, it isn’t the taking price.
I know from recent experience, I had to make some adjustments between asking and taking on a piece of real estate, I was still very happy with the final transaction.
In addition to the price it was one less thing to deal with, that’s worth some thing as well.
Putrid is dead on.
The state of Idaho years ago raised the homeowners exemption so that my taxes would have gone down about 20%.
The county increased my assessment so that my taxes went up about 10%.
Then they get to raise the rate 3% a year. If they don’t they can go back at the end of a three year period and raise it the full percentage they didn’t each of those three years. Which they always do.
And the accessors office here in NezPerce county uses the Oregon state property tax handbook.
Bunch of thieves that should see the scaffold as the last thing they ever view.
The government won’t get as much property tax revenue?
Hah as if property tax revenue has anything to do with actual value! I’m pretty sure they say “we want X dollars, lets divy that up proportional amongst all the property based on relative value!” That value on your statement? Only determines what you’re going to pay *relative* to the guy on the other side of town, not the absolute. Your absolute number is set by “what fraction of X+ do we need from this tax paying cattle unit to make sure we get our plunder?” Numbers, assessments, rates, fees, will be set to make sure X+ is met.
Politicians would rather reap an increase in property taxes from increased valuation than vote to increase the rate.
Now do both.
“It’s mostly going to the schools, the kids will benefit”
It’s a lot like alimony
100% correct Putrid.
Why my taxes go up on average 12% a year.
Mine went up 16.2% this year.
It has gone down once. About $100. It’s more than doubled since 2012.
I’m honestly shocked there is no violence over property taxes.
Britain is a whirlpool of suck.

“Der Spiegel, among other German outlets, reported that the shipment contained 10,000 rounds of live ammunition for pistols, 9,900 rounds of blank bullets for assault rifles, and smoke grenades.”
blanks?
For training/war games
“Blank bullets”
Like a liberal arts degree
[golf claps]
This is the latest in a series of similar incidents in the the Saxony-Anhalt region.
In August, local police in Bernburg reported 90 rounds of ammunition missing. Weeks earlier, officers in Eisleben reported they had lost 180 rounds.
Jeez. That’s almost enough from both thefts to make it through an hour at the range. If I’m reloading them one at a time.
90 rounds missing? Did they check their range bag? Forget about shooting a second course of fire? It’s astounding that they are worried about a couple boxes of rounds missing, but are fine with having a few million military age Muslim males running around untracked.
Oops. inventory guy missed the one round in Barney’s shirt pocket.
Fun Fact, if you’re being a stickler for IDPA rules, you’re only allowed to carry 31 rounds on your body, and the gun must be loaded to division capacity with one in the chamber.
The most common way of accomplishing this was to bring a magazine with one round in it, load the chamber, then replace it with a full magazine. This was called a “Barney Mag”
There are so many yoots that have no idea why it’s called that.
Because it is big, it is purple, and it is your best friend?
An onion on the belt and a bullet in the pocket.
It would seem, based on the other recent thefts, that someone is collecting ammo, perhaps planning something. I wonder who?
While the blanks would seem to be a nothingburger, they could be used to cause panic as part of a larger operation involving live ammo.
I’d bet some DeutcheMarks that the thieves didn’t verify exactly what was in the boxes of ammo they stole.
One reason manufacturers keep moving to SC is the stable and relatively inexpensive nuclear power. The state has 4 active stations with 7 reactors. The problem is the cost of building more. I keep hearing about cheaper new technology, but then see these local stories about billions sunk into a new plant near Columbia.
https://apnews.com/article/nuclear-power-plant-electricity-south-carolina-f7bcefe431672c4145f7c4acbd05d4e7
The question is why did they go over budget, regulatory issues, or too low of a bid? If the former, having a new political environment changes a lot of the calculation, the second is cause for a new contractor to come in. As far as the executives lying, without more info, that can be either nefarious or perspective driven.
Nuclear is expensive to build, but it is cheap and clean once up and running. A major issue has been that a hecklers veto has been placed over any new building of it, which has caused the political issues. Add in the fact that there really weren’t that many built, and it is a very different technology that is not self explanatory to many contractors of the size needed, and you have the issues that many have had being built.
A side link from the Somali fraud article –
“Halle Berry bashes Gov. Gavin Newsom at NYT summit just before he takes stage: ‘Should not be our next president either’”
I uh, might need a moment to collect myself… 😍
““Back in my great state of California, my very own governor, Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row,” the “Catwoman” star continued. “But that’s OK, because he’s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either. Just saying.”
The bill Newsom rejected sought to mandate that health care plans provide recommendations for menopause-related treatments, and require health care providers to receive training related to menopause care.
Berry, 59, is the founder of Respin, a women’s health and longevity company focused on menopause care….
“Our culture thinks that, at 59 years old, I am past my prime, and that women my age start to become invisible in Hollywood, in the workplace, on social media.””
https://nypost.com/2025/12/03/us-news/halle-berry-bashes-gov-gavin-newsom-at-nyt-summit-just-before-he-takes-stage/
“Berry, 59, is the founder of Respin, a women’s health and longevity company focused on menopause care. ”
This would explain her outrage with Gov Greaseball.
Menopause bill? Was Sacramento thinking they could regulate that?
So Newsome didn’t want to force other people to pay for Berry’s pet menopause bullshit, and somehow that’s a bad thing?
Yeah I had that thought until I read the rest of it IB.

And all the boomers respond in unison: “Muh property values!!!!”
I can’t imagine how people younger and lower income than us can afford a place for their family. We did the math on building a basic 2500 sqft house on 40 acres, and it was getting uncomfortably close to $1M. The bulk of the cost wasn’t the 40 acres (although that ain’t cheap either).
We’ve seriously thought of repourposed container house but even that puts it in the 400k range for a decent build…
Our friends just built a barndominium for relatively cheap. Granted, he did a lot of the work himself. Probably 6 figs worth. That seems to be the direction most people are going if they want to build. Stick built traditional homes are apparently for the wealthy.
That’s my plan if we do build – Morton Steel house/barn combo, but without the DYI.
Hell, stupid ass tiny homes are approaching $100K. You can’t figure something more traditional is going to be cheaper.
Trashy, my neighborhood is full of shoushes, when people try to sell them they sit on the market for several years. In the hottest real estate market in the western U.S.
If you have ever rebuilt a carburetor in your kitchen you know why.
cheap housing is good though.
Look. 40 acres, a mule and a sod house. Anything more than that is bourgeoisie excess!
Trashy, you sort of described my property. I built my own house (well, 80 % anyway) over 30 years ago, 2600 SF, 40 acres. It took 2 years of week ends. No way could that be done today, with all the regulations and inspections that are required.
Property values are in a bubble. I stand by my previous statement a few days ago, AI is going to pop, followed by a real estate bubble.
The value is determined by the buyer.
40 acres near me alone would be pushing $400,000, if you could find any that wasent all unusable hillside.
What a bunch of cucks. Can’t say I’m surprised at anything that comes out of Old Blighty anymore.

LABOUR is postponing a slate of next year’s mayoral elections until 2028, The Sun can reveal.
Four new combined authorities – Essex, Hampshire and the Solent, Sussex and Brighton, and Norfolk and Suffolk – will have their polls pushed back two years.
Ministers are expected to make the announcement on Thursday on the grounds the councils need more time to complete their reorganisation.
The new combined authorities have been established under a devolution shake-up that merges several councils into one.
Ministers are set to use the announcement to pledge £200million every year for three decades for six new devolved mayors.
Mayors will be allowed to use this pot on the local economy and also accelerating house building.

I doubt the Euro is the main blame. Or even the EU. Most bullshit is still at national level.
You mean their economies sucked all that time?
mostly yes.
The problem is that the Imperialist bureaucrats have no understanding of economics. They still think wealth is land and peasants, and under that model expansion potentially fuels prosperity in the core. The problem is that in an industrial economy, especially coupled with the bureaucratic nanny State, expansion into less prosperous territory ends up draining the core. Add in an endless stream of destructive eaters from iron age cultures and voila, you have killed Europe!
high immigration is an issue and for that the EU is at least partly to blame. gdp go up but gdp per capita / wages not so much.
The Baltic and eastern wage growth is also largely from those countries emerging from the shitholes of being in the USSR or Warsaw Pact.

Also stop calling commies anarchists. Anarchists are the polar opposite of commies.

But… but… True Communism results in the State evaporating away!
Communists believe that the State will wither away once all the residue of the capitalist system is eliminated. Communism is an anarchist belief system. The fact that there is no chance of this happening doesn’t really distinguish Communist from other flavors of anarchist.

“That morning, Thomas got into a tubular metal and clear plastic chamber, which was sealed, pressurized and filled with 100% oxygen. Then, according to an expert who viewed video of the incident, Thomas squirmed enough to pull the sheet off the mattress, causing a spark of static electricity. In the oxygen-rich environment, that spark became a flash fire that incinerated Thomas within seconds. Annie, desperately trying to open the tank, got badly burned on her arms and chest. When firefighters arrived just before 8am, all they could do was put out the flames.”

The treatment works. The proper question is “how do we manage the static buildup?”
No, the proper question is “How can we exploit a tragedy to further our agenda of discrediting a movement that, while not political by nature, we have made political for some unknown reason and, in the process, somehow found ourselves in the role of vehemently defending manifestly unhealthy dietary and lifestyle habits?”

NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morrison said the move to ease the mileage standards would make the nation’s roads safer. “Newer cars are safer cars and by reducing vehicle prices, more American families will be able to afford newer vehicles,” he said in a statement.
That’s crazy talk. we should be buying up old clunkers and crushing them. Then people will have to buy new cars. Everybody wins.
MAKE AUTOMOBILES DANGEROUS AGAIN
More is coming. the gas mileage stuff is nice, but it doesn’t bring back cheap cars. Looks like Trump is planning on an American kei car industry. As I said yesterday, strike off all the safety and engineering standards are we can have good cars again. I think that is the plan, it is just taking time.
Autopian felt like they had to worry about safety standards in their article about bringing kei car standards to America. Nanny bubble losers.
Feh unless Donald gets Congress on board it all goes *poof* the next time a Democrat is elected.
Mexico made Volkswagen Beetles until 2004. They sold for around $4K. So there is no excuse why cars are so expensive.
Even though they were perfectly cromulent cars, it was illegal to import them into the U.S. because retards.
CAFE standards should not exist.
Period.
At the time, NHTSA said the new regulations would save Americans $23 billion at the gas pump and reduce pollution. Burning gas for vehicles is a major contributor to carbon emissions, which scientists have linked to climate change.
You can’t forget the obligatory boilerplate. You’ll get drummed out of the journalismers’ guild.

“Entrepreneur”
“I wouldn’t be proud to have the largest Somali population,” in the U.S., [Trump] said.
Hamse Warfa, a Somali-born entrepreneur who now lives in the Minneapolis area, sees things differently.
“I am not garbage,” said Warfa, who has started a series of successful businesses and now runs a nationwide education nonprofit, World Savvy. “I’m a proud American citizen.”

I ordered a new drain pump and a drive motor belt for our ailing washing machine last week. Today they were delivered but instead of 2 packages I got three. I received an extra drain pump. The sellers Ebay add said No Returns accepted. Hmm, I wonder if they will make an exception in this case?
Save it for next time.
That’s what I told my wife I might do. I was informed there would be no next time and to send it back. She really wants a new washer. The pump was $50 so I will contact the seller. If they don’t reply or want it back I will sell it on ebay…. 🙂
You’re going to contact them and they are going to inform you to keep it. Shipping cost eat up too much profit.

I got a toll bill from SanFrancisco the other day.
Bill had a picture of a newer model Chevy pickup with a license plate that wasent even close to my truck, the bill had my plate and 2005 international truck on it. The systems are stupid. They mail out bills hoping that people and secretaries pay them without checking. If I didn’t have a CalTrans account t for my business I would have ignored it.
Refugees from the East African nation have been coming to the frigid plains of Minnesota since the 1990s, drawn in part by the state’s generous social services and then by the ever-growing diaspora community.
They have become fixtures in the Twin Cities, opening businesses and revitalizing neighborhoods of empty storefronts. They are also increasingly politically prominent, serving in the state Legislature and on the Minneapolis and St. Paul city councils. Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar — a regular target of Trump, who on Tuesday singled her out as “garbage” — serves in the U.S. House.
Over the past few years they have also struggled with being typecast after dozens of people, many of them Somalis, were arrested in connection with schemes to defraud social service agencies of what some officials say could total hundreds of millions of dollars. Many of the arrested Somalis are U.S. citizens.
Just another feel-good story from the melting pot.
Import the third world, and you become the third world.
Just melt all this stuff together, it’ll turn out fine.

He should pick Jesse Ventura as a running mate.
There is a reason they call it the stupid party. All they needed to do was find a normal person that could present decently and campaign on an “end the nonsense” platform.
Instead, we get right-wing crazy to run against left-wing crazy.
Haven’t seen Ol’ Mike doing much TV advertising the past couple years. He is transitioning to replace Walz, I guess
IIRC he got lawfared by the company that runs our elections.
Don’t fuck with Dominion is the lesson, I guess.

“A Catholic parish in Dedham, Massachusetts is drawing attention after revealing a Nativity display without figures of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, instead placing a large sign slamming Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The display went up this week at St. Susanna Parish, known as one of the most left-leaning parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston.
The sign reads, “ICE was here. The Holy Family is safe in the Sanctuary of our Church. If you see ICE, please call LUCE.” Parish pastor Father Stephen Josoma said the move follows a long-standing tradition of using the Nativity to comment on national issues. He told Boston.com that the scene is meant to “hold the mirror up to what’s happening,” adding that concerns over immigration “seemed to be right there in front of us.”

It is amazing how many “churches” in America don’t actually believe in any of the stuff the sign on the door would lead you to believe they would, and in many cases actively reject those beliefs.
“Speaking in a panel, Tangle editor-at-large Kmele Foster said, “This is how we talk about race and ethnicity in this country. We do a lot of categorical denunciations. For a very long time, it was all about kind of black lives and whiteness and what whiteness does. No one should be shocked that this is how we’re talking about Somalians in this context as well. And I think in general, if we were to move away from that kind of categorical nonsense, it’ll be a little bit easier take in, take on board the condemnations of the President in this context, as opposed to having to just kind of do it when it’s convenient for us.””
https://thepostmillennial.com/cnn-pundit-says-focusing-on-minnesota-fraudsters-somali-ethnicity-is-categorical-nonsense
It’s not race, it’s culture.
Kmele is consistent in his disdain for “race” as any sort of useful category.
He’s right.
The left will never, ever let go of it though because it is so useful to them.

“The United States Institute of Peace was once a bloated, useless entity that blew $50 million per year while delivering no peace,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement. “Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named after a President who ended eight wars in less than a year, will stand as a powerful reminder of what strong leadership can accomplish for global stability.”

It’s all rage clickbait.
Although I’m not clear why outboard motors are relevant. Does she think that only inboards are used for “real” drug-running?
The point is each of those outboards cost around 20 grand, and there ain’t no fisherman running 3 or more of them.
“An Obama-appointed federal judge in Massachusetts has blocked a duly enacted provision of Congress that stripped federal Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood affiliates beginning this fall.

Hah! Trump has already been going after Minnesoda Karens like the evil tyrant that he is.
And it is pronounced k’ren. So you can still differentiate the two in a conversation. Heaven forbid you offend a refugee who has been here 25 years.
I guess 25 years is temporary, on the geologic time scale.
The MILFs in Philippines are sticking with their name, so will the Karens.

A fentanyl vaccine is about to get its first major test
https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/12/a-fentanyl-vaccine-is-about-to-get-its-first-major-test/
The fun starts right in the first sentence!
Just a tiny amount of fentanyl, the equivalent of a few grains of sand, is enough to stop a person’s breathing.
“ARMR’s experimental vaccine is designed to neutralize fentanyl in the bloodstream before it reaches the brain. Keeping fentanyl out of the brain would prevent the respiratory failure that comes with overdose, which causes death, as well as the euphoric high people get while taking fentanyl.”
So if it works, it would also block it as a pain reliever.
I wonder more broadly about opiates as well. No medical use for any of this, right?
It would, but from what I can gather of the mechanism it wouldn’t prevent other opiates from being used to treat the patient. The question is what would prevent the opioid addict from then seeking out other opioids to use to feed their addiction and would they then just overdose on something else? Also, fentanyl works very quickly once injected so I’m not sure if the vaccine would actually stop the respiratory arrest that causes death if it’s antibody activity dependent. Antibodies take a bit of time.
Finally, they are technically correct that it doesn’t take very much fentanyl to kill someone. It’s dosed in micrograms. Then again, most drug doses aren’t very much at all by weight. It’s just something cool sounding that the writer can put in their article for filler.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
For those of you not lucky enough to be a Minnesodan, Phyllis Kahn was the OG Proggie legislator. She was one of the longest serving pols ever in MN. It seemed like she would only leave when she died. Then her district became the home of the Somalis. Seemed OK. Just one more bloc of minority voters who would rubber stamp her elections. Then shit went sideways for her. The uppity Somalis decided that she should be replaced by a Somali.
She won a few campaigns, but then there was a serious challenger in the primary in 2014. Luckily for her she knew where the bodies were buried. In a state where election fraud never happened, her campaign was able to point out that her Somali opponent had supporters who were all registered out of the same PO box. 141 voters to be exact. She managed to get them all disqualified and survived that primary. (She was beaten in the 2016 primary by Ilhan Omar). It was pretty convenient that her campaign knew about all those fake registrations. No problem when they were voting for her.
The linked story is great because it is the perfect example of a Somali scandal. Everyone denies it even happened. But that the people who did wrong, were just simple immigrants who didn’t know better. Followed up with a heavy dose of “You are a RACIST!” for noticing. The end is that an “official” investigation clears everyone and nothing happens.
When I was checking to make sure that Phyllis Kahn had indeed lost to Omar, I found this amusing tidbit.
“In a devastating blow to Democrats and the media-manufactured “double-tap war crime” narrative, ABC News has now confirmed what the Pentagon already knew: the two alleged survivors of the cartel-linked cocaine boat were NOT surrendering, shipwrecked victims, they climbed back onto the vessel, attempted to recover narcotics, and maintained communication with other smuggling assets.”

Makes no difference. The dems will still hammer the narrative and their faithful will follow.
“People don’t want to vote because they’re afraid they have to spend 10 years in prison.”

NHTSA Recalls Certain Achilles ATR Sport 2 Tires Over Identification Issue
https://fcfreepresspa.com/nhtsa-recalls-certain-achilles-atr-sport-2-tires-over-identification-issue/
The recall was issued because the Tire Identification Number (TIN) printed on the affected tires is too long and cannot be registered by owners. This issue means the tires do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 574, which covers tire identification and recordkeeping.
My favorite recall this year was when Volkswagen had to recall their electric retro vans – because 3 people might be able to sit in the back seat. They had to skinny up that back seat to make Daddy Sugar happy.
A woman has lost a discrimination claim against an aerospace firm over their toilet policy for transgender staff.
Maria Kelly objected to trans women – biological males who identify as women – being allowed into the female toilets at Leonardo UK’s office in Edinburgh.
In her ruling, Judge Michelle Sutherland said the toilet policy was a “proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim” to create an inclusive workplace environment for trans staff.
She dismissed Ms Kelly’s argument that it was unfair to sacrifice the privacy of women, 20% of the workforce, for the interests of five transgender staff members, 0.5 % of the workforce.
Judge Sutherland pointed out that only a single person, Ms Kelly, had raised a complaint – which amounted to 0.05% of the female workforce.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) accused former Vice President Kamala Harris of telling “blatant lies” to write her postcampaign memoir “107 Days” and “cover her a–,” according to a profile about the governor published in The Atlantic on Wednesday.
Reporter Tim Alberta described Shapiro as “between outrage and exasperation as I relayed the excerpts” about him from Harris’s book. She accused Shapiro of taking over the conversation when he was interviewed to be her running mate, allegedly insisting on being “in the room for every decision,” Alberta wrote.
“She wrote that in her book?” Shapiro asked. “That’s complete bulls—. I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies.”
He’s just another racist misogynist denying her lived truth.
“Democrats lost ground in some of these communities by failing to show up and failing to treat people with a level of respect that they deserve,” Shapiro told Alberta. “Donald Trump has been a once-in-a-generation political figure who’s managed to connect on a deeper cultural level.”
Shapiro with some good insight here.
She also called California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to ask for an endorsement after Biden dropped out of the race, according to the book. She received the text reply, “Hiking. Will call back,” and said Newsom did not call her back.

The Big Three plus several other large automakers even agreed to installed such sensors voluntarily in all their cars by 2025 because, you know, saving children from a horrific and entirely preventable death is a good idea.

Let’s take the all-American example, Ford. To get AEB on its base trim Escape model, Ford charges customers $995 for the Tech Pack #1, which also adds a bunch of other features including Ford Co-Pilot360, which gets you adaptive cruise control, lane centering assist and blind-spot monitoring.
The car watches the road so you don’t have to! By all means, let’s promote inattentive driving under the guise of “safety”.
That lane assist shit drives me crazy when I rent a car. Having a computer jerk the steering wheel around is not helpful.
All the auto braking crap needs to go.
Big trucks have it now as well as lane following.
Look over when you pass one and you’ll likely see Jeet watching TV with a sandal up on the dash.
