They aren't on the same level of fraudulent bullshit, but they're close.
Fingerprint matching is done "by eye" and often involves an "expert" saying that one smudge is a 100% match for another smudge.
DNA matching is the only forensic science that's worth a damn, and only if it's done correctly.
So I forever work on legacy systems.
Not ideal, but there's quite a bit of job security in it.
Sadly, VW has never strayed far from their roots.
They've always been just a little scummy on the business practices side of things. More than a little scummy during WW2...
They do sometimes have good engineering. Which means fuck all in the face of management who want to cut corners and cheat to make more money.
Ah, another excuse to whip out my one bit of interesting temperature based trivia.
-40 is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit, and 575 is the same in Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
5th pin down on the far left side in the picture.
There's no solder on the pin.
Most of the joints are questionable, that one is flat out bad.
There are a bunch of questionable solder joints.
Like half the pins.
But the absolute worst is the 5th pin down on the far left side. There's so little solder used that you can see into the hole.
A few others are also a bit lacking as well. Almost all of the joints are ugly as sin...
That's what multiple genocides get you. A language rated as Vulnerable in UNESCO.
Still, there are about 170,000 people who speak Navajo, with about 8000 who only speak Navajo.
The only place I see liquid fuel being used is in commercial transportation, particularly in shipping and rail. Anhydrous ammonia would be perfect for shipping, and a nightmare anywhere else. That shit will fucking kill you in an instant, and those who survive just wish they were dead.
So it should only be used in highly regulated professional settings.
That said, it's still a wonderful fuel option for those settings.
This electrolyte swaps shit? I see it as an attempt to reuse all that gas station infrastructure all over the place.
EV chargers are all over as well these days, but they're still not anything near as ubiquitous and gas stations.
Likud isn't just a continuation of Herut, they merged with the remnants of Lehi, a full on terrorist organization from before the 1949 war.
A surviving member of Lehi then became the first leader of Likud, and his first act in power was to give all the surviving terrorists commendation medals.
That terrorist turned prime minister was also Netenyahu's mentor.
Hyperloop didn't fail, it did exactly what Musk wanted. It killed the California high speed rail plan. At least for a few years.
It's the only thing that works. Shouting Nazis into silence is the best early way to deal with them. Show up to protest in huge numbers, deplatform them, force them to scurry back into the shadows.
Most importantly of all, keep them from recruiting more.
Once these efforts fail, all you're left with is violence, and violence will come, because the Nazis love it.
The song is named Tank.
Those horns are just perfect.
The end theme is also great.
