  It comes as EVs are facing scrutiny from safety watchdogs around the world after a number of deadly incidents, including two fatal crashes in China involving Xiaomi EVs in which power failures were suspected to have prevented doors from being opened.

  Or DDG.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That's how it's been on my mbin instance (fedia.io) for a while now.

  Same reason humans aren't supposed to eat the meat of fish high up in the food chain too often, like tuna. Mercury poisoning specifically in that case.

  As someone with POTS, this sounds amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the far future deployable couches will be designed into pants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just thinking of avalanche airbags. We have the technology!

  This image reminds me of something that I can't quite place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do when you're lacking direction in life?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If I may comment preemptively....

  I'm a big fan of ellipses, but we must know their limits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two days of oatmeal reduce cholesterol level⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  *in a study looking at people with metabolic syndrome who consumed a calorie-restricted diet which included two days of eating almost nothing but oatmeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Entry⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm hungry, but it's 2am and I'm in bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible that the rich are so rich that they have created inflation?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This doesn't sound like it's in disagreement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible that the rich are so rich that they have created inflation?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people get there by inheritance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pixels inflation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn't look like anything to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the Vitalists: the hardcore longevity enthusiasts who believe death is “wrong”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “If you believe that life is good and there's inherent moral value to life,” he told them, “it stands to reason that the ultimate logical conclusion here is that we should try to extend lifespan indefinitely.”

  Well, I certainly can't take this guy seriously.

  What?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a response to other comments on that tech having shortcomings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, but if they want to use this sort of tech, they should probably require baskets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because there is prostitution doesn't mean it's sketchy. Sketchy generally means unsafe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New study: No-alcohol and low-alcohol beers, and dry pubs, are on the rise⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I've tried a couple of non-alcoholic gins. The best was "not terrible". I can understand a non-alcoholic beer or cider, but gin does not work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people eat this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and I'll bet there's duck fat on that sandwich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people eat this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also rationed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silicon Valley’s Latest Dubious Offering: Designer Babies⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But those aren't perfect babies. Those are poor people babies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems like it would work better to build the scanning tech into baskets/carts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What sketchy locations? I'm guessing by your name that you're in Seattle. I live in Seattle. There are no sketchy places here.

  They never did work well, though, that's true. It was more awkward than just paying normally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I went into the Amazon Fresh store to make a return once and decided to check it out. The store looked like a regular grocery store, except there was almost nobody in it. Everyone there was for returns and pickup orders.

  Also, as you might expect, it had only the most popular versions of the most commonly consumed products. It was like a caricature of an American grocery store.
