Being able to completely immobilize a vehicle while keeping it intact is a criminal’s wet dream.

It’s been a reality for over a decade.

My point is that plugging in a charging cable is way down the list of attacker tools.

It’s not too big of a leap to imagine a world where a person could immobilize a car at a red light with the plug cut off from a public charger. Wall up to a stopped car, open the hatch (maybe it needs a pry bar) and put the dummy plug in.

Sounds like a lot of hassle. If they want to immoblise a self driving car they just stand in front of it.

Why carry a plug cut off from a public charger when you can just stab the tyres?

Use the pry bar to smash the window and open the door. Not open the charging port.

Give it a go. I’m sure you will be welcomed with opened … arms.

I’m never against providing more data points.

Fedora tipping doesn’t seem particularly aggressive.

She did have 3 boobs.

You don’t complain about having to open your door or start the engine when escaping a threat.

Having to unplug a cable during a very specific, imagined threat seems like a niche problem.

I think we need to know the average number of lendings for hardback vs ebook over a 2 year period. In theory, the library should be indifferent to the format being lent out and the costs should reflect that.

I have a treat for you

Borrow the hardback

The digital titles often come with a price tag that’s far higher than what consumers pay. While one hardcover copy of Cook’s latest novel costs the library $18, it costs $55 to lease a digital copy – a price that can’t be haggled with publishers.

And for that, the e-book expires after a limited time, usually after one or two years, or after 26 check outs, whichever comes first. While e-books purchased by consumers can last into perpetuity, libraries need to renew their leased e-material.

Totally agree with paying for recently written books. But are you cool with paying authors who have been dead for 69 years?

Crack, meth etc.

False, because someone paid that much for Twitter.

It was worth 44bn to it’s former owners.

They only stop when it is time for the hammer. ✋️🔨⏰️.

It turns out that I love excel, but I hate data.

More crashes and deaths means less cars and people.

Double win for the environment.

Environmentalists should be encouraging speeding and drink driving.

Oh, he’s making a metaphor.

OK it takes a day to open the dams and for water to travel.

Wait, the faucet is as big as that wall? He’s talking about an actual faucet.

I’m out.

Baow chicka wow wow

The base is also one of an “extremely limited number of places worldwide available to reload submarines” with weapons like Tomahawk missiles.

Depends why they are selling it, to whom, and under what restrictions.

Yes, they don’t make the majority of their money from selling actual data, but that doesn’t mean they don’t do it.
