When jokes like that can get a laugh, Elon Musk is cooked. Like a Tesla driver.

We need more Tesla jokes — specifically about how dangerous they are.

Here’s the thing: all cars can catch fire, and all EV fires are especially hard to put out. But Teslas are •uniquely• dangerous:

@c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io @puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social @dalias@hachyderm.io @inthehands@hachyderm.io @carstenfranke@mastodon.social A Tesla is the safest car in the world to burn alive in… for all the people watching you from the outside.

@c0dec0dec0de @puppygirlhornypost2 @inthehands @carstenfranke Which is probably in violation of all sorts of safety regulations...

@carstenfranke @inthehands Hopefully the "bulletproof glass" performs as poorly IRL as during the demo event.

Also FWIW: I don't think these hammers work without water pressure on the glass.

@inthehands

What do you call 10,000 Cybertruck owners barbecued inside their own vehicle?

A good start

@mwguy @overunderlay @malwarejake Actually, maybe it is a (transient) list: senders that have already been seen and already deferred once. If so, deferred-list[ed] or even waitlist[ed] probably makes sense.

@Lyle Best state flag.

@overunderlay @malwarejake "Greylist" only appears in one specific context I know of, spam blocking, where you could call it by the actual role it plays there. Defer-list or something.

But it's really not even a list like the others. It's almost always a default policy for things without an entry on allow or deny list. So it's rather poor naming to begin with.

Going back to the Oracle Cloud security incident, the 2019 video posted by the threat actor: https://youtu.be/375_G9wAffo

@hanno @letsencrypt Seems like a very responsible course of action to avoid becoming forced collaborators and I don't see anything that can go wrong. Old certs will expire before it's taken offline.

Lying to someone then laughing when they believe you isn't a joke, it's just being mean.

@linux_mclinuxface @lispi314 @koz @3dprinting Using cheap or even poor quality cheap parts is not necessarily bad engineering if you can ensure that it still fails safely.

@koz @3dprinting Crowbar circuits in general are an awesome underappreciated family of safeties I love.

Instead of trying to shut off current, which won't always be possible, provide a sudden alternate zero resistance path for the current to take and let nature take its course.

@koz @3dprinting (For mains heater, this would blow the circuit breaker at the panel, but would need secondary mains rated ssr for the crowbar.)

@koz @3dprinting I want to implement an analog safety for this case (heater mosfet/ssr fails closed):

Crowbar circuit that's essentially an xor gate on heater mosfet gate and output. If they don't match, it closes another chonky power mosfet shorting the psu and blows the fuse.

@ByrdNick indeed, I've been saying this for a while now (I'm not a neurologist though) https://www.kevinmarks.com/confabulation.html

The good news is: we made it out of winter without depleting European gas storage sites! The bad news, we'll need to refill ~twice as much gas as past years to refill to healthy levels. Every new heat pump, solar panel and wind turbine will help us reach that goal more easily:
