  • [Video] Israeli colonist blocking ambulance from passing

    Jump

  • Call dispatch first and brief them. They'll handle prepping a spare ambulance and briefing authorities.Then tell the staff in the back to brace the passenger and themselves.

    Now you can PIT the dumb fuck.

  • Sweden buys German IRIS-T SLM air defence system

    Jump

  • One of the beers I like mentions something about following the old German beer purity laws. Which one was...

    Aha! Weihenstephaner! That was it. Or... was it warsteiner? I'd have to dig the cardboard out of the recycling.

  • Or Hoegaarden?

  • my turn to post this

    Jump

  • Look, I thought it was reasonable because I hoped it would turn the rest of the forum users against the leak source.Everyone getting locked out for a week should... hopefully have the chilling effect I'm looking for?

    Some people just like the easy answers.

  • my turn to post this

    Jump

  • I've said it before, I'll say it again:

    Lock the entire forum into read-only mode for a week, and plaster the leakers name on the front page as the reason for the lock.

  • Seriously, it was all the rage back when I joined my first instance.

    Jump

  • There was also that one wave of denim covered everything.

  • EV buyers mostly motivated by lower energy costs than climate concerns, survey finds

    Jump

  • Looks sweet and futuristic, but it wouldn't last a week over here in the states. Some dipshit would try crushing it with their lifted diesel pickup to compensate for their tiny pp.

    But then again, that can be solved with a pair of concrete bollards. One on each side.

  • How is federated social media better?

    Jump

  • Mostly just the resilience and control. An outage or censorship incident on one node can be contained, isolated, and users can easily go around it."Oh no, my preferred instance went down!" switches to another instance with the exact same content

    Also, I think some European governments run Mastodon servers for themselves. Which sounds weird, but makes more sense in an IT security context. Their data, stored on their servers, that they manage. No third party business contractors needed.

  • Two Days Talking to People Looking for Jobs at ICE - The motivating force behind American career fascism would appear to be wanderlust

    Jump

  • I would have dropped one of those ol' fart juice packets we had as kids and walked away.

  • About Trump Mobile

    Jump

  • <inhales>

    ...Oh. Right. This one's being delegated to his son.

  • About Trump Mobile

    Jump

  • Knowing Trump's business track record, it'll be bankrupt before the end of his term, and earn the ire of every incumbent telecom and tech company with lobbyist money to spend.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • Boi...

  • Ever-rising height of car bonnets a ‘clear threat’ to children, report says

    Jump

  • And this is just another reason for me to get a lowering kit with my slate truck. It both gets me a little closer to the sedan road height I'm already used to, and also incidentally prevents kids from being obscured.

    I'll take an unplanned bonus any day.

  • It's just down the road.

    Jump

  • I once drove that long to get to a convention.

    Never. Again.

    Just because you can drive for 12+ hours, doesn't mean you should. Next time I'm either planning two full days for that sort of driving, or taking a plane.

  • NOOOOOOO

    Jump

  • Oh nooo, I'll have pass time by...Read the ingredients on the shampoo bottle!

    THE HORROR!!! THE SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE INFUSED HORROR!!!

  • Measures more often taken against policymakers from US adversaries than against judicial officials

    Jump

  • Nope, never heard it. Must have been on lemmygrad, or one of the other tankie instances no one federates with.

  • Elon hits the red button

    Jump

  • Yep. Maxim 29 is in full effect here. Let them fight.

  • Virginia safety activist charged with vandalism after drawing crosswalk at dangerous intersection

    Jump

  • Wait, is it the empty two-line path on the south side of the intersection? If so, that needs better marking anyways.

    Just give the guy a list of materials, tools, and relevant safety and installation codes, and let him cook. He's already willing to do the job for you, help him do it right, and also save some taxpayer dollars in the process.

  • It Appears Chevrolet Will Stop Selling Cars In China — Can’t Compete

    Jump

  • Anything that bucks the trend of "Way too big for its own good" is worthwhile.

    Personally though, I'll be skipping over Telo due to it following the unfortunate trend of 'touchscreen everything'. Tactile feedback on all cabin controls is a hard requirement, I must be able to control the HVAC and radio without taking my eyes off the road.

    Also I'm a tinkerer at heart, and Slate is definitely pandering to that.
