It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

"Tesla Inc. employs an odometer system that utilizes predictive algorithms, energy consumption metrics, and driver behavior multipliers that manipulate and misrepresent the actual mileage travelled by Tesla vehicles," reads the lawsuit. "In so doing, Defendants can, and do, accelerate the rate of depreciation of the value of Tesla vehicles and also the
expiration of Tesla vehicle warranties to reduce or avoid responsibility for contractually required repairs as well as increase the purchase of its extended warranty policy."

I hope you all had a great Xmas. In 1980. I can imagine Jim Di Griz at the back there, whispering to Wulf Sternhammer, "They just barged to the front. Look at them both jostling to be in the centre of the cover. Pair of divas! Nick Stone is fuming. Pint later?" "Ja."

Prog 188 Return To Armageddon is another 2000 AD strip I've scant memory of. Revisiting these old issues has made me realise the comic had quite a large turnover of different stories beyond the likes of Dredd, Strontium Dog et al. Ian Gibson's use of light and shade here is spectacular.

Prog 185 This was the 2000 AD strip of the Nickelodeon cartoon adaptation of The Dogs Of War' movie that was released that same year. Christopher Walken was great as the one-armed vampire turtle thing. No, of course it wasn't. It's a Strontium Dog story with art by Ezquerra.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
