    If it’s some form of shared washer, run a cup of bleach through a cleaning cycle. If it doesn’t have one, any hot cycle will do, then an extra rinse.
    If you somehow don’t have bleach, use a cup of that strong cleaning vinegar stuff, or a couple tablespoons of citric acid. But please do not even think about combining bleach and acids.

    If you payed to use the washer, surely they must have some way for you to channel your best Karen and complain about it.





  • To be fair, and I really hate agreeing with wannabee fascist trash like Trump’s entourage; it is very surprising a roof top, at most 250 yards from the stage, was not secured.
    Your point still stands though, they do not give a shit about school shootings, or anyone who isn’t a means to more power/money for themselves.

    The 2-party nonsense is unfortunately built into the system. First past the post voting practically guarantees only two dominating parties will exist at a given time.
    There are initiatives like e.g. the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact but that will only effect presidential voting. Mixed member proportional representation works reasonable well in many countries, but seeing how it largely eliminates the benefits of gerrymandering - on top of needing to pass an amendment to the constitution through congress -it will not happen this century…










  • In 59 crashes examined by NHTSA, the agency found that Tesla drivers had enough time, “five or more seconds,” prior to crashing into another object in which to react. In 19 of those crashes, the hazard was visible for 10 or more seconds before the collision. Reviewing crash logs and data provided by Tesla, NHTSA found that drivers failed to brake or steer to avoid the hazard in a majority of the crashes analyzed.

    NHTSA also compared Tesla’s Level 2 (L2) automation features to products available in other companies’ vehicles. Unlike other systems, Autopilot would disengage rather than allow drivers to adjust their steering. This “discourages” drivers from staying involved in the task of driving, NHTSA said.
    “A comparison of Tesla’s design choices to those of L2 peers identified Tesla as an industry outlier in its approach to L2 technology by mismatching a weak driver engagement system with Autopilot’s permissive operating capabilities,” the agency said.
    Even the brand name “Autopilot” is misleading, NHTSA said, conjuring up the idea that drivers are not in control. While other companies use some version of “assist,” “sense,” or “team,” Tesla’s products lure drivers into thinking they are more capable than they are.

    It is not a single crash. There are assisted driving system out there using pupil tracking, to make sure drivers are still paying attention.
    Tesla’s solution is something along you need to be resting at least one hand on the steering wheel. And don’t get me started on how they are diluting the concept of “full self driving”…

    But yeah, you’re right, the only reason I’m sceptical of Tesla’s semi-self-driving tech; is because I think Elon is an egomaniac little bitch, who is incapable of ever admitting he was wrong in even the smallest way.
