Wade Mode is a feature in the Tesla Cybertruck that allows it to drive through shallow water by raising the suspension and pressurizing the battery to protect it from water and debris. It is designed for use in bodies of water up to approximately 32 inches deep at slow speeds of 1-3 mph.

Should have called it creek mode.

Does anyone actually reach those numbers? Is this a crackdown on bots?

I never understood Hitler or fascism until Trump came along.

Dictatorship comes from the top down. Fascism is when people want to give dear leader their power. They are happy to rule/act for dear leader without orders.

This was a video so he said those things. He needs/wants a line to get watchers to listen closely to a specific point. Reading the transcript it doesn't sound like AI at all, just lunacy.

What happened next, across the four months that followed, ...

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the state environmental regulator known as TCEQ, had quietly issued Tesla a wastewater discharge permit on January 15, 2025. The permit, a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System authorization known as TPDES, allowed up to 231,000 gallons of treated wastewater per day to be discharged into an unnamed ditch that flows into Petronila Creek and from there into Baffin Bay, a longtime South Texas saltwater fishing destination.

The drainage district that manages the ditch the pipe was discharging into was never notified that the permit existed. Its workers found out the way drainage district workers in any small Texas county find out about things: by walking the ditch and seeing something new.

...heavy metals were not tested because they had not been part of the original complaint the district filed

...the drainage district had already hired its own attorney and commissioned its own independent test.

Gonna skip the results for length, see article.

The cease-and-desist letter has not yet been answered. TCEQ has not reopened its investigation. Tesla is still operating the plant. The pipe is still discharging. None of this is illegal as currently constituted, because the permit that was written does not require monitoring for the things the independent lab found.

Afaik it's pretty loose on when they have to. UK should be forced to immediately.

Your piano has been crushed into a cube.

Once sober.

Boris knew the next PM would be pilloried, so he waited it out to become PM.

I really wonder if they'll make the € a requirement for the UK re-entering.

It's much simpler. The problem is Fox et al.

OpenAI had advanced a statute of limitations defense, which sought to prove that any harms Musk sought to litigate had taken place before 2021. (The specific date varied by the charge: before August 5, 2021, for the first count; August 5, 2022, for the second count; and November 14, 2021, for the third count.) Ultimately, the jury found that argument persuasive, which made for a short deliberation period.
