I just watched the megalag videos on the glasses — the first episode of three — and the claim is they cut out confusing areas of colour that abnormal chromats see.

So if it worked, it only works for people with abnormal versions of one of the three normal colour vision sensors, and only if their deficiency is in green, and then only if it’s the correct degree of deficient

But it doesn’t work anyway.

The glasses help people see the number in some sheets in the colourblindness test, but hide the number in others. Their colour blindness would appear slightly worse than reality.

If they had worked they might have done so by some sort of contrast enhancement or edge detection, but I don’t think either are possible with just optics

Loads of people are suspicious of coupon schemes. They look dodgy. It’s no wonder that people come along after one of these schemes turns out to actually be a scam to say “see, I knew these things were bad” with the only evidence being that they never subscribed to it

Their fault is they claim it was this one specifically

I get notifications for popular news developments, also I might be in a better timezone than you for hearing need from America quickly

It has perfect gaps, blocks most road noise, has no squeaks or rattles.

You can make guesses about whether the two 1 January attacks with light trucks hired through Turo one by an ex soldier, the other by an active service soldier who both served in Afghanistan at the same time and who both were deployed to the same base in America at the same time, are related

Or you could try attributing it to a political statement by a suicidal soldier who doesn’t like Elon Musk’s influence on Trump

Or nothing, just wait for more certain information once the investigation is finished

I don’t think explosions were part of the safety design. The only picture I have seen of a cybertruck after a battery fire showed the rear of the vehicle destroyed but the cabin intact

The shape and solidness suggest it’s much more dangerous to any vulnerable road users than to its occupants, just like every light truck used as an urban car

Police responding said it would have at least broken windows if set off in a less rigid vehicle. The cargo compartment is a double skin of stainless steel thicker than the steel used in the shell of normal vehicles

The joke was the bit about emergencies being uncommon

There’s a barrier between them which includes a window. It was sealed until the bomb went off

Someone pulled up in front of the Trump hotel, detonated their explosives and shot themselves.

I think Luigi if guilty was making a commercial statement. He allegedly attacked the health fund with the highest rate of claim denials with bullets marked with a statement about how they don’t serve their customers fairly

Described so by his parents according to what I read.

We have known for 23 hours that it was definitely not a battery fire. Everyone who knew anything about battery fires knew it wasn’t a battery fire from the very first videos

Have you been asleep for a couple of days?

Unmarked jokes about teslas don’t seem to perform well here

I actually own a Tesla 3 which has (like all 3s) no emergency release in the back, so I added glass breaking hammers both sides

I do understand that emergency actions need to both easy and trained so a pull string in the door pocket isn’t nearly as good as a handle and even better you don’t need to tell every passenger how to get out when it’s a lever rather than a button

When it’s not an emergency the button to open the door is nice, and it’s hardly ever an emergency. The manual opening is easy enough that knowing about it is enough

Per se is doing a lot of work there. Sure, if the rich person and the poor person chose the same insurance company and the company doesn’t deny coverage to the poor person (it doesn’t matter for the rich one, since they can afford it) they could get the same coverage if they have equal quality hospitals nearby and the rich person is happy to be treated by their nearest in network hospital

But poor areas have worse hospitals

And when the rich one is president of the united states that one also has a staff medical team, and access to military medical units, and a plane and helicopter on hand to move him

Just regular rich have access to faster transport to better hospitals than the 99% can have

But yeah, on paper, ignoring effects from socio economic status and where the 99% live versus where the 1% live, versus where the .001% live it’s all equal

People in teslas back when they did regularly catch fire from hitting road debris had no trouble pulling over and getting out before fire got into the cabin

They don’t need electricity to open the doors, and owners should really tell passengers how to open the doors manually

Search for whichever model’s user manual for your country if you want to see how to open the doors

The vehicle’s battery was not damaged and did not catch fire.

The cargo area was full of fuel and explosives - in the form of firework mortars.

Explosives and fuel make a good fireball and fire. Fireworks being a 2 stage explosive (launch and pretty explosion), they may have expected the initial bang to disburse the fuel and the second to detonate it as a fuel/air explosive which would be very damaging, enough to take down the building.

Obviously were that their goal they did not sufficiently test. The vehicle contained the initial explosion and all they got was a fire

And the blast and fire exited through the passenger cabin, killing the driver. I hope it wasn’t a valet.

I wonder if it was triggered accidentally early or badly set up and detonated on its own or remotely triggered too early.

I bet they thought they’d light up the battery. Poor quality bombers

That frame from the video of the vehicle looks like the cabin was undamaged. Good news for CT drivers if that is so
