Woman Stuck in Tesla For 40 Minutes With 115 Degrees Temperature During Vehicle Update
  • On the Model 3, opening too quickly with the manual release can apparently damage the vehicle trim at the top of the window. The manual doesn't give that level of detail, so all many people know is that using the manual release can damage the car.

  • Do we need to create increasingly more children for a stable economy?
  • That's an easy one - no. You can look back to various periods during middle ages Europe for examples. An even stronger one would be China from about 400 CE-800 CE

    Of course, those weren't capitalist economies - but they were economies. Capitalism's instability is what requires constant growth to maintain. The better (and harder) questions would be what to transition to that avoids the issues of feudalism and how to transition with a minimum of societal upheaval (violence and death).

  • Biden administration is sending $1 billion more in weapons, ammo to Israel, congressional aides say
  • $126,500 per person, plus another $20,240 in housing expenses. Plus your $13,850 standard deduction (though if you're making that much you're probably itemizing for more). So $160,590 for an individual or $321,180 for married filing jointly. That's assuming no kids and no other deductions or credits - which is pretty unlikely at that income level.

    $160,590 is the 93rd percentile for US income distribution. So yeah, if you (AND your partner, if any) are both in the top 7% income bracket, bad at tax preparation, and don't hire an accountant, you might still pay tax on the income over that amount. Of course, making that much while keeping the kind of ethics that let you care about anyone other than yourself is a nontrivial endeavor.

    Don't forget that your foreign employer won't be reporting to the IRS. So if your protest extends to not voluntarily reporting that excess income ...

  • Montrealer who dumped water on unhoused man's face issues public apology.
  • The title is unreasonably generous. The apology is entirely self serving and meaningless.

    • He doesn't apologize for throwing water for the man - only for posting it on social media.
    • He tries to frame a narrative that the victim deserved it
    • He doesn't offer any sort of reparations or even an insignificant donation to a group that works with unhoused people generally.

    It's clearly only to ensure his business is not affected, reduce the threat of prosecution (being considered by law enforcement, presumably for assault), and to encourage leniency from the judge if it gets that far.

    Apology not accepted.
