It’s a gyroscope mounted on a multi-axis gimbal. If you want to apply torque, you apply force to the gimbal. If you don’t want to apply torque, you unlock it and just let the gyro do what it naturally wants to.

Best summed up as “When you have 10 bad cops and 1,000 good cops choose to look the other way, you have 1,010 bad cops.”

You only hear it over beers in a quiet place. The cops I know who get disgusted by the behaviour of their department leave to work at colleges, transition to consulting, or get their JD and work for the “other team”.

I used to think most cops were trying to do good, with a few bad apples. Then I saw the cops in the comments on the FHP officer who arrested an off-duty cop for driving 120mph - “professional courtesy”, “she shouldn’t have done that”, etc. And I realized nope, there are a few decent cops and most of them suck. (This…

Police have had un-Constitutional unrestricted assets confiscation for decades. This also includes assets destruction.

Yeah - I hope they get a bill from all the insurance companies at a minimum.

Hopefully Minneapolis will be paying to have these tires replaced and identifying and firing these officers.

Any police here want to push the limitations of the Blue Wall of Silence on this matter?

This is always the argument they use to justify shooting every dog they see.

If police can destroy private property because it could be used as a weapon, then they can destroy pretty much anything they want. Th argument is absurd on its face. Hopefully Minneapolis will be paying to have these tires replaced and identifying and firing these officers.

Any police here want to push the limitations of the Blue Wall of Silence on this matter? My law enforcement friends (for the time being anyway) have been relatively silent regarding any criticism of fellow law enforcement. Some of them say how horrid the George Floyd murder was, but as far as the tactics following…

I’m convinced that most major corporations are just a house of cards — nothing more than accounting tricks to keep their heads barely above water while the executives enrich themselves. Tap one little card at the bottom and everything comes crashing down, except for executive salaries of course. Gotta take care of…

That thing looks like PussyWaggon’s cousin, Red Rocket.

It had the feature when they sold it to him. Unless you can get Tesla to do an audit on your car during a PPI — and should be reasonably expected to do so — there’s no reason it would have ever showed up despite due diligence.

So where do we draw the line on that? If the manufacturer of the car provides a document that says the car has forged piston rods, should I disassemble the engine to check? Of course not.

Think of it like Tesla removing a stereo from a car after they sold it, because they didn’t mean to sell the stereo with the car.

even better, if the seller had not stolen features from a sold car

Right, because a typical pre-purchase inspection includes confirming that features listed on the original window sticker haven’t been remotely removed from the car by the manufacturer, and any used car buyer who fails to have one of these mythical pre-existing feature inspections performed deserves what they get.

I see Tesla is now doing with their cars what I used to do with my Bumble profiles. See, I’m not technically lying — you see, I used to be a chiseled, rippling mass of 6'4" muscle.

Im thinking the dealer that sold the car is liable, since he/she advertised the car with said features. Let the dealer and Tesla battle this out. Especially bad since the final owner did his investigation at another dealer and was told ‘this can’t be removed’. Tesla can’t have it both ways.
