  Well I don’t have much sympathy here. He used the company card to buy his son Robux. There was no reason to do this, he should have used his personal card. So maybe he thought he could skim a little money off the top for personal use and it ended up biting him in the ass.

• They have us fighting over crosswalks while our house burns down.

  E: that’s not cool my comment was pulled for “minimizing queer struggles”. I don’t know how anyone got that out of what I said. I specifically want to make the point that there’s a shitload of bad stuff happening, that bad stuff includes LGBTQ people as victims, but the fact that news coversge goes to arguing over crosswalks instead of the dumpsterfire hppening is ridiculous. We’re in this shitshow together. A crosswalk removed is the symptom, not the actual problem.

• It’s a genetic failing of our species. We constantly have people trying to be in control and then control the wealth and resources. There’s a lot of people that worship or need to follow those in power. Our brains are wired this way, whether it be hoarding toilet paper for a crisis or hoarding wealth and power to control the crisis, or lauding the hoaders.

  If we cannot suppress or regulate these extremes sufficiently we won’t survive the impending climatological and resource collapse. Everyone will hoard to be the last one standing on the burning dumpster.

• This article is 2/3 fluff. The majority is about convenience features, not safety.

  That said, I recently moved from a ~15 year old car to a modern one, and have driven several newer models with the features described.

  Adaptive cruise: it‘s often poorly designed. It brakes far too rapidly and abruptly should traffic or a car ahead slow, and there‘s absolutely no reason to apply as much throttle as it does should it decide acceleration is appropriate. Also for uphill driving the cruise control often drops into far too low a gear in order to maintain speed. It‘s more of a nuisance than an aid, and it‘s even worse if traffic increases or you‘re in a lane with jackasses that can‘t maintain a steady speed. Adaptive cruise attracts idiots, too. The new versions will stay engaged and slow to a complete stop. If the driver has set the following distance to maximum the car will stop with a 4-5 car distance from the car ahead. They‘re treating it like some kind of autopilot that will run the car for them.

  Lanekeeping: there‘s a huge span of quality here. Some are shit, some are far too aggressive, some are “jerky” following a segmented plotted line rather than a smoother curve. They can overcorrect and really make for an unstable drive attempting to counter intentional driver input. Some “give up” and disengage with little warning, the audible alerts are often weak. Some briefly follow merge, exit, or widening lines for an additional lane pointing you off the road before they get confused and disengage with the car pointed in an unsafe direction.

  Auto braking: in my experience it has engaged every time when I was already braking, or engaged when there was no need to brake. The few times I thought it should have engaged, it didn’t. It’s a nuisance at best, ineffective at worst.

  Reverse cameras don’t provide a full picture and are awful in developing driver proprioception about the dimensions of their car. They’re fine for what’s immediately behind you, but use of mirrors and looking around is far better for backing out and looking for approaching people or cars. That said, I love the “360°” view ones. Those are great for centering oneself in a parking space.

  So I completely understand why drivers don’t use them. They’re often low-quality, inappropriate overcorrections for the situation, and make for a worse ride and potentially even detrimental to safety. That’s saying a lot considering the quality of a lot drivers on the road today.

  I run 80% of the time with adaptive cruise and lanekeeping off. I can’t disable the autobrake, if I could I would.

• It’s right there, friend.

  25,000lb. Reading the article it says “more than 25,000 lb”.

  We should assume they used a highly efficient airfoil that can maintain the most efficient possible cruise for the demonstration aircraft probably at L/D max if they’e looking for time aloft, so I doubt it’s even worth considering top speed or ceiling. It would be interesting to know what NACA profile they used and what the top speed characteristics would be.

  Edit: looks like a Vne of 140 Kias. This is not a fast aircraft. Also a minimal useful load. If you make a couple clicks through to the site of the test it’ll give you more info.

  on First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026

• I did my best to find any technical data about the flight. Couldn’t find any actual numbers. FWIW it’s not intended to be a standalone method of powering the aircraft for commercial use; they plan on making it a hybrid, which makes far more sense as far as range and payload are concerned. Best guess a 25000 lb aircraft like this will probably cruise around 120-150Kt at a nice, slow, efficient airspeed for a test like this. So maybe a 40-50 mile flight because “air time” probably started as soon as they lifted off.
