Cybertruck Breaks Down 35 Miles After Delivery, Tesla Says Coolant Leaks Not Covered
I have zero sympathy for Cybertruck buyer's remorse. Its shortcomings have been more than adequately covered in the media and besides, just look at it.

Canadian photographer Francois Brunell searches and photographs similar people, but who are not related to each other. He has currently done about 200 couple portraits.
Makes you wonder how many people got jailed for a crime they didn't commit before the widespread use of fingerprints and DNA just because they resembled someone else.

Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app
So it's just a single app running on a minimal Android implementation, the AI is done on remote servers and it still gets lousy battery life? Sounds like they dropped the ball on design. Nevertheless, no one is going to carry this that doesn't already have a phone that can do everything the Rabbit does. It has no reason to exist.

Advertisement from 1904: “Absolutely Safe”
From the same era when heroin was sold as the non-addictive alternative to morphine. "Truth in advertising" wasn't a thing then.

"Why I'm no longer a White Nationalist." Neoreactionary blogger goes to live in Red America just like he always dreamed. What followed will shock you!
"During the early 2010s White Americans were under serious attack as a collective in a way that warranted an organized response."
White American here and I can unequivocally state that this was not true then and it's not true now.

University of Rochester professor who didn't show up for class believed to be in danger: Police
Apparently, he fell off a pedestrian bridge into the Genesee, the police say they have surveillance video. Divers were searching the river but hadn't found anything last I looked. They didn't say which bridge or how they knew he fell. A sad story, regardless.

Gimme some of that Bay Leaf confidence
I choked on one the chef forgot to remove in a restaurant once. I'd say they're not just floating there, they're waiting.

What's the closest you have ever been to actually dying?
I hit a deer while riding my motorcycle. I saw it crossing the road from my left, tried to evade it, heard the bang of my fairing hit it, and next thing I knew I was lying on my back looking up at the sky. I ended up with a shattered collarbone, broken ribs, and some road rash on my left side. I have absolutely no memory of falling or sliding at all (and I'm okay with that).
The most likely explanation for why I survived was that I was only going 30 mph (50 kph). That same day another rider wasn't so lucky. There was a husband and wife in one of the cars behind me that were both EMTs and I got experienced care right away. Plus, I was wearing boots, gloves, a leather jacket, and a full-face helmet. The road rash was from my jeans wearing through during the slide.

What's the most satisfying thing that's happened at a job you've had?
Mid/late-90s, a woman who was having an affair with one of the managers gets a huge promotion despite not even being qualified for the job she had. No question as to why. Proceeds to embarrass herself at every turn, yet manager thinks she's great. Meanwhile, truly deserving people are overlooked.
Mid-2000, same woman is now in charge of a new product team. I'm working as a technical consultant and evaluating products for purchase by GSA (Government Services Administration, the buying arm of the US Federal government). Her product is on the GSA-approved list but has never been evaluated for compliance. Lying to the Feds subjects you to the False Claims Act and can result in fines and being blocked by GSA from selling to the government. I alert company management to this. Not only is it a danger to the company, she had to have lied about it to launch the product in the first place. Lawyers get involved. I hurriedly evaluate the product. Luckily, it qualifies. We cross our fingers no one from GSA ever asks to see the paper trail.
A month later she's leaving the company to start her own catering business (I'm not making this up).
It didn't last a year.

Bishop quits job and apologises after 'all-male orgy in rectory goes wrong'
There's just enough ambiguity in his apology that you can't be sure he's apologizing for the orgy or just the guy that OD'd on Viagra.
