Tesla headlights have caused a recall of over 20,000 of the company's two most popular vehicles, the Model 3 and Model Y, due to the low-beam bulb exceeding the maximum allowed intensity according to federal standards.
Meh, today's been interesting. As usual I woke up around 0230 to use the bathroom, and checked Amazon Flex to see if'n anything good was on the board, especially as I won't be working the next few days, maybe the rest of the week.
3½ hours for $112? Sure, we can do that⦠Oh yeah, that went well, pick up in St Peters, MO, 31 packages, 31 stops, most deliveries are in eastern Wentzville, but the last 8 or so are spread from Foristell to Jonesburg‘‘ Jonesburg is 25 miles away from Wentzville. Yeah, that ran long obviously, just for the route, plus I had a random extra package that was easier to deliver than take back, so I got it added and did that, and now I have to see if'n they'll bump my pay up, I've put in a request, but⦠And after that, we grabbed breakfast from Sunrise Ranch, great food over there, highly recommended if'n you're out in the Wentzville area, then went and picked up a delivery from Walmart on the way to my chiropractor⦠Annnnd, that went pear shaped, I picked up a 65 inch TV, with a Chevy Bolt. Yeah, had to move the seats forward until my stomach was nearly touching the steering wheel, maybe that wasn't such a good idea.
Chiro, coffee from Bread Co, and then home. Reading and a nap, and now here. Holos.social seems to be behaving today, none of the problems I had yesterday, so that's good. I will give it points for one thing it does better than Wafrn (β’pokesβ’ @gabboman ), Diaspora boosts display properly there, unlike this place. I am curious about where my account lives there, it was always said that it lives on your device, the relay just works to keep you connected to the Fediverse, I guess reminiscent of early mobile web browsers, but right now I'm only running it on my desktop, so where's my data?
Tomorrow, car goes to a different dealer, hopefully this one knows how to repair cars, if'n you live in the STL area, stay far, far away from Lou Fusz Chevy, they shouldn't be allowed to look at tools, let alone use them. I will type up a list of what I need this time to help, gotta look up the TSB's that are involved. I was going to bicycle home, stopping at a new diner on the way, but I've done breakfast out two days in a row, so definitely passing on breakfast, and based on the forecast, prolly going to spend on an Uber instead of bicycling the 11 miles.
There are so many shitty U.S. companies across tech, energy, and AI that criticism of our massively-unpopular telecom monopolies has fallen out of fashion. Itβs easy to forget, for example, tβ¦
Taylor Fresh Foods, parent company of Taylor Farms, is voluntarily recalling some products that include jalapenos because of worries about a possible salmonella contamination.
In the dead of night, the Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as attorney general. Blanche, who still refers to himself as Trumpβs lawyer, sees the Justice Department as the presidentβs political strike force that targets opposition. wsws.org/en/articles/2026/08/1β¦
The formal elevation of Blanche to head the Department of Justice marks a significant further step in the consolidation of a personalist presidential dictatorship in the United States.

I almost want to say let them, I want to see the chaos that ensues, how many Republicans would find themselves waiting in 8+ hour lines and/or their votes vanishing into thin air if'n they did this? Or the county's votes getting thrown out as they can't meet the deadline to count all the ballots?
