Russian Jets Increasingly Drop Bombs On Russia Instead of Ukraine

A clumsy unguided Russian large bomb often is configured to blindly spread hundreds of small clusters of explosives, which will make a targeted area uninhabitable for generations of civilians and military alike.

The UK Ministry of Defence is trying to get the word out that Russians are increasingly being bombed by Russia.

Such incidents appear to be becoming increasingly common, with [Russian independent Telegram channel] Astra reporting that “at least 21 aerial bombs” had accidentally been dropped by Russian forces on Russian or Russian-occupied territory between March and April 2024.

As you can see below, in just one example from a single Russian bomb, thirty Russian homes with ten cars were destroyed.

To the outside observer these are huge problems with major consequences.

Training failures and fatigue are suggested, although the elephant in the room is an alternate perspective, how the dictator doesn’t care about bombing his own citizens, just like he throws away his troops’ lives. Training and rest don’t fix problems that are never allowed to be seen as problems.

Tesla Cybertrucks Falling Apart Faster Than They Can Be Fixed

We should have known that the guy who says he doesn’t run a car company, just to avoid being regulated as a car company, can’t actually run a car company.

A single Tesla Cybertruck bolt fastener worked loose, as should be expected, and here is what happened next.

Many of the Cybertrucks just simply die and can’t be started.

Oh, and about that disinformation campaign to say his car company shouldn’t be seen as a car company… suddenly he wants it to be seen as the only car company.

Don’t think of it as a car company, think of it as the only car company. Uh huh. Definitely not more red flags here than a Chinese military parade.

A judge recently exposed the Tesla CEO for this brand of shallow hypocrisy and gaslighting, within context of X Corp’s clumsy strategy to undermine law and order.

The judge found that X Corp’s argument exposed a tension between the platform’s desire to control user data while also enjoying the safe harbor of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which allows X to avoid liability for third-party content. If X owned the data, it could perhaps argue it has exclusive rights to control the data, but then it wouldn’t have safe harbor.

“X Corp. wants it both ways: to keep its safe harbors yet exercise a copyright owner’s right to exclude, wresting fees from those who wish to extract and copy X users’ content,” Alsup wrote.

If X got its way, Alsup warned, “X Corp. would entrench its own private copyright system that rivals, even conflicts with, the actual copyright system enacted by Congress” and “yank into its private domain and hold for sale information open to all, exercising a copyright owner’s right to exclude where it has no such right.”

Replace government protection with a private system to enrich one man?

The X is a swastika.

Nazis always are like this. They are loud-mouthed “absolutists” yet amorphous and undefined. Their exaggerated opposition to others’ law and order — avoiding governance at every turn with whatever is best for them and only them, also known as antiwoke radical individualism — is how they aim to invoke dictatorship.

In the engineering world this anti-science junk theory manifests as designs that never achieve production quality. Definitions with real baselines and standards of care about others’ needs aren’t ever allowed to exist independent of making supreme leader feel good.

Amon Goeth managed engineering just like Elon Musk does. And that’s not all they have in common.

Porsche Stock Exhaust Cheat Repeatedly Fails Basic Test of Noise Pollution Laws

Porsche owners have poured toxins into the air for decades, with little to no liability to those harmed.

Now a groundbreaking enforcement of pollution laws seems to be honing in on noise, rather than the other forms of pollution.

Fitted with sensitive microphones, the $35,000 cameras detect and capture everything from loud exhausts and backfires to honking and blasting music. Eighty-five decibels is the threshold for receiving a fine, which starts at $800 for a first offense and rises to $2,500 for repeat offenders. For reference, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention places the average environmental noise level of city traffic inside a car at 85 decibels, indicating that City officials are targeting those who go above and beyond a normative sound level.

…[a Porsche driver thus caught making noise] was initially puzzled by the violation. Sure, he admits to hitting 35 mph in a 25 mph zone, but he wasn’t speeding excessively or wringing out the rear-mounted engine, either.

What? He thought 35 in a 25 wasn’t excessive?

Where do these people learn math? Driving 10 mph over in a 25 mph urban area is the definition of excessive.

In urban areas, driving merely 3 km/h (2 mph) or faster above the posted or implied speed limit is considered a punishable infraction…

No wonder he was puzzled why his excessive noise making was ruled excessive. This guy doesn’t care about what’s at stake when he speeds and pollutes excessively, begging laws to be enforced to protect society from such criminal acts.

And then, perhaps to nobody’s surprise, this “belief-based” anti-science guy aggressively tried in court over and over again to prove Porsche designed noise pollution as “stock” just so owners like him could cheat and get away with it.

Instead his protests have ended up proving the opposite, Porsche is failing tests every time in court for good, albeit not broad enough, safety reasons.

Specifically, research shows that prolonged sleep disruption, hearing loss, hypertension, and heart disease are all linked to consistent noise pollution. Additionally, the impacts of noise are specifically detrimental to children, yielding decreased memory, struggling reading skills, and lower test scores when consistently exposed to high levels of noise. With noise monitored by New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene as well as 311 noise complaint data, the top sonic offenders in NYC are unsurprisingly traffic…

Fun fact?

Noise pollution monitoring is far safer politically to enforce than other pollution forms because… the biggest polluters (e.g. utilities like gas companies) aggressively shut down any attempts to measure their crimes.

It’s a wonder VW was caught cheating on American air pollution laws, while Exxon, Tesla, GM and Ford were not, for example. Tesla in particular lit up horribly toxic diesel pollution centers on purpose to troll regulators after VW had been caught, and I’ll bet you never even heard about it.

So this story is really about German car companies having little to no American political clout to defeat public interest safety laws that keep cities safe from known dangers.

It’s not that if he drove a Ford he would have been granted a loophole to harm, it’s that he isn’t getting any support from Porsche because they know how badly this fight to do harm ends for them.

Remember 10 years ago how Germany tried to weigh in on this noise issue internationally?

Future Porsche sports cars could get away with being almost four times noisier than regular cars while high performance versions of the BMW 3 series, Audi A4 and Mini Cooper could become almost twice as loud under German plans for weak international limits on vehicle noise. […] Transport noise is linked to 50,000 fatal heart attacks every year and 200,000 cases of cardio-vascular disease in the EU. […] At full throttle, sports cars could get away emitting over 100 decibels, equivalent to a pneumatic drill.

Well then, German car companies seem to have been headed into their infamous Diesel-Gate fiasco believing at that time they could get away with anything — that all forms of intentional pollution would be good for their brand.

Indeed, noise-polluting Porsche cheats read almost exactly like the diesel-polluting VW cheat designs.

Police chief Dieter Schäfer snitched to the authorities at the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), the agency responsible for certifying that vehicles comply with regulations, about the noise made by cars with sport exhaust modes. Referring to exhaust flaps, which keep performance cars quiet and in compliance with noise regulations at moderate loads but open up when drivers step on the throttle or select a performance driving mode, the police chief said, “We can’t have something certified that makes a large amount of noise in real life.”

Ah, how times have changed. Today it seems clear that American cities would be well within reason to continue to chase Porsche execs under the famous VW precedent, regarding a brand willfully attempting to violate pollution regulation.

Let’s hope this guy exposing the willful fraud of Porsche cheat-to-harm culture is going to bring them to bear in ways that will save thousands of lives or more.

AU Tesla Owner Jailed After She Claimed Her Autopilot Hit Pedestrian

The defense strategy of the accused Tesla owner was to blame her Autopilot, which she believed was designed and marketed to her to use as… wait for it… an Autopilot.

How dare she believe Autopilot meant Autopilot? She probably also believed she bought a car from a car company. Doesn’t she know CEO Elon Musk isn’t CEO Elon Musk? When nothing is real, Tesla can never be held accountable for even its most egregious crimes.

Thus, for a very simple reason, no matter how hard she tried to blame her Autopilot for its total failure to be an Autopilot, the Australian court instead swallowed an Elon Musk pill that released a fraudulent and deceptive Tesla from liability despite the clear and present design failures posing mass threat to society.

Agrawal spent two years maintaining her innocence, blaming the crash on Tesla’s autopilot feature and told police Ms Lagos “jumped in front of the car”.

But crash analysis showed Agrawal did not slow down before hitting Ms Lagos and the police investigation revealed just 30 seconds before the incident, autopilot was not turned on.

She didn’t slow down? That’s because she wasn’t paying attention, a tell-tale sign she was simply trusting what Elon Musk repeatedly had told her about her Autopilot. She was greedy, but not nearly as greedy as the true criminal in this story about advanced fee fraud.

Tesla is such a horrible and obvious fraud, that it has millions of drivers as victims utterly convinced of something false just because they paid for it in advance. This woman not only believed lies that Autopilot was a future safety device that would absolve her of risk today, she even believed lies that it was operating into the future when it wasn’t in present (because it disengaged without sufficient warning).

This case reads like a Venn diagram of liars buying from a liar who makes robots that lie.

Tesla should be banned for creating two out three circles that cause injury and death. Yet instead we see how accountability falls outside the vast majority and true causes of risk: Tesla management. The court is ignoring basically all the true causes and instead passively warning people to not buy Tesla, really to not buy Autopilot as an Autopilot, but that’s not going to solve the high threat to society fast enough.

Putting the victims of advanced fee fraud in jail doesn’t get to the heart of the crime, or stop it from spreading to many other victims.

Bottom line, if the driver had bought any other brand of car, she wouldn’t have hit a pedestrian. Without fraud there would be no Tesla.
