  3. The mechanically adept will recall that “von Zeppelin’s Law” (yes, the airship fella) states that you should “never make any part of a machine stronger than the others”, because then the machine will just break where the strongest part joins the rest.

    Cybertruck owners already demonstrated their lack of good sense, so perhaps could be forgiven for ignorance of The Law. Count Ferdy von died before all that Nazi 1.0 business, and was spared the embarrassment of witnessing his company’s final ships being tarted up in swastikas for a world tour of What Happens When You Don’t Follow The Instructions, (Oh The Humanity). Perhaps if the Count /had/ been a Nazi, the 2.0 generation would have paid him more attention.

    Why am I telling you this?. Well, just like the Falling Out Of The Sky problem that led CvZ to formulate his Law, owners of the Stainless Steel Ratrods find their land zeppelins falling off the ground. Well, bits of them. Pieces of trim that were apparently sticky-taped on have been flying into the sky at highway speed.

    If you’re going to break a law, one school of thought says, break it good and hard. If the trim drops off your Wankpanzer, use a stronger tape. I’m not talking about that molecular bonded “gecko tape”. The *strongest* tape uses nuclear adhesives, which is a term that is /bound/ to attract the attention of Deplorean owners.

    What happens when a piece of stainless steel trim (despite the marketing, these Swasticars are just sheet metal glued onto a badly-engineered frame) wants to fly off, but the Strong Nuclear Force Says No? Readers of Dr E. E. Smith’s seven volume treatise on the confrontation of Irresistible Forces and Immovable Objects can guess the result: if you are fully constrained in three dimensions, try a fourth.

    If you come across the inverted wreck of a Klanborghini that has turned inside-out at speed via the fourth dimension, don’t stop. You can’t help the owner; what came back didn’t live long, fortunately.

  4. According to an August 2 report in The Washington Post,
    the U.S. Department of Justice #previously #investigated whether
    💥Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi had illegally donated $10 million to then-candidate Trump prior to his 2016 election. 💥

    The probe was eventually ♦️shut down by Trump’s political appointees, ♦️who “rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers.”

    The criminal investigation had begun after intelligence indicated that ⭐️Sisi “sought to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 presidential campaign,”
    and ramped up when federal investigators learned of ⭐️a $10 million withdrawal from a Cairo bank that occurred just days prior to Trump’s inauguration. ⭐️

    Ultimately, according to The Post, the case was #shut #down by then-acting U.S. attorney #Michael #Sherwin (who had been appointed to the position by Trump Attorney General #William #Barr). 
    
👉Despite the seriousness of the allegations, ABC, NBC, and CBS all seemingly failed to cover the reporting on their evening, morning, and Sunday broadcast news shows.👈
    
Among five of the top U.S. newspapers, the probe into potential bribery was referenced in just 3 online articles and 3 print articles, for a total of 4 unique articles
    (2 print articles were also published online).
    
Of the 5 papers we reviewed, it appears only The Washington Post and The New York Times published articles referencing the #potential #bribe.
    The Post published 2 print articles and 2 online articles that mentioned the probe (3 unique articles in total), including the original reporting that brought the investigation to light,
    while The Times published 1 print article and 1 online article (1 unique article in total).
    
The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal seemingly did not publish ANY articles referencing the probe into whether or not 🔥Trump illegally accepted money from Egypt.🔥
    
⚠️This lack of coverage from broadcast and print outlets is just the latest example of national news outlets failing to cover Trump's suspicious ties to foreign countries.⚠️

  5. #Previously dans #GeoThread, je vous ai parlé d'un outil pour trouver des données dans la base #OpenStreetMap (OSM). C'est ici : social.gnieh.org/@luxas/110649.

    Et ici j'ai mentionné rapidement le fait que certaines données peuvent manquer ou être incorrectes. OSM c'est coopératif, les données proviennent de différentes sources et principalement de la communauté. Aujourd'hui, je vais vous présenter quelques outils pour y participer.

    C'est parti !
