more on amazon,that fashy panopticon job grovel thing is being normalized i applied for a job at Ping Identity (no qualms about calling them out) and the first step was a purposely un-completable skills assessment in which I had to be on camera the whole time as their AI algorithms deduced my stress levels and nonverbal communication I, of course, noped the gently caress out of that one.

hi i'm an emergency responder trying to pop open a tesla that just got hit by an f150 with 3/4 of a tank of gas everywhere. one of my favorite things to do is try to yank a couple of bare wires out of a tesla's rear end and try to connect jumper cables to them without making sparks as a screaming person bleeds out in the cab

remember the pinto almost every passenger car has the tanks tucked under the back seats now. SOP for fuel pump replacement these days is step 1: remove rear seat

the only reason we ever put them under the trunk was just mass production convenience. with body on frame cars we could just put a big rectangular tank between the rails and run little brackets in to hold it down. handling wise it sucked b/c its 100 lbs of poo poo sloshing around on the extreme rear end end of the car. now we build with unibody construction and its easier and safer to put that poo poo basically dead center in the car

Munkeymon posted:I think the official explanation for why the core landed so hard was that it ran out of fuel on the way down. doesn't that mean it leaked more than expected or did they miscalculate the fuel required? well I guess one implies the othet riding the edge between "we are too heavy" and "we may need a bit of extra fuel in case a crosswind nudges us this way or that" basically

reminds you gently to go the f to sleep and keeps track of sleep/wake (it assumes you go to bed on time, but will mark your 'end of sleep' as when you start fuckin with your phone in the AM) and then it can graph trends and lay it out nicely for you

i mean thats a pretty judgey way to word it but yes, it is for people that have problems self-regulating sleep. if you dont need it dont use it i guess?

like sure,maybe we can't create a low flow turbine that lasts more than 18 months in tidal seawater. that might just be part of the deal. hell we rebuild airplane engines every 1k hours. but maybe if we had some concrete plants to drop mad seawalls and a decent turbine fab plant on this side of the pacific, a little bit nearer where we want to install them, it might still be feasible considering _the power you'll make is loving free with no emissions_
