That’s just capitalism.

What pollutants from the 80s are you talking about?

I don’t srr any limits here.

Okay, thanks for pointing that out! It looked so foamy on top so I was confused. Still am honestly.

Would have never believed that those tanks are open and not enclosed.

You are right. I didn’t readmore than the article and am not familiar with the situation and it was a gut reaction. My bad.

On a broader point regarding companies in general and housing in particular:

I live in Germany and what the us calls socialism or communism is just common sense for people that would describe themselves as slightly left of center. And the center here is more in line with the majority of the worlds country, so not an outlier. There are cooperations here of course and its not common to find people that subscribe to the idea of class war but still there is a distaste in half of the populations people when we hear about quarterly gains that are made by exploiting workers or consumers or suppliers.

We also have housing cooperation that own large amounts of units all over Germany and especially in larger city’s. And people hate them. More than just the left, but a all affected. Even though the conditions that are described in the article are magnitudes worse than the occasional mold or broken heating. Its the idea that housing should not be controlled by such a powerful entity. Vonovia is one of the big ones if you want to read up and compare.

There even was a volksentscheid, a formalized and official non binding vote by the voters, of the city district of Berlin to disown the whole company or at least put it under state control because of the higher rent and conditions of the units. That is now being deliberated for the past years by politics and will be for years to come and nothing of consequence will happen.

If there was a situations there were units like the ones described In the article it would be a riot. Everybody, Not just the left would rally to get those people to prison or burn the company down. Literally.

The situation seems to be in part because the company who was responsible for the units in NYC went bankrupt. That’s a feat in itself given the rent prices there and I am sure that somebody with a twirly black moustache made of with some nice cushion

But the real problem is the real estate market in general that creates these problems. I don’t like renting but that’s a reality. Property is a reality since socialism isn’t anywhere to be found here. Or nowhere for that matter (military regimes that call them self that don’t qualify).

In consequence I’d like to see people arrested. In that case the politicians that allowed this yo happen in the first place. So many ways to change the situation people are in. Nothing done. Good luck to the new Mayor in the fight against the real power: establishment

Taint is a tainted word. Please refrain from using it.

He is stupid, yes. But I think he might have been talking about electro magnets that get damaged when not properly protected. It is about the aircraft carrier that used it as a new launch system. Water, saltwater at that and there were some problems reported. I am sure the engineers are smart but a new system always has problems. Orange brain goes “bad tech” orange mouth goes “blaaargh”.

White collar, minimum security. I am sure he won’t have the gishlane service package but he will be alright. Also he will be up for parole soon enough and then be released.

The Persons responsible for the state those buildings are in and then deciding to rent them out. They were aware of the situation since the renters withheld their payments. So why does this matter to you?

You read my comment, right?

Pussy isn’t an insult, you scrotum!

Can you reach the inside though? Thought that was part of the problem.

I imagine a rough looking dent that is flirting with the clean sheet metal of the other car at a red light.

“You want some of this? Come here and I’ll take you on a wild ride. Come over to the dent side. Insert some sexual innuendo here.”

Never a good argument. We could transport goods with horses too. Never needed that fancy cart wheel.

The mecedes g wagon was developed with easy repair ability in mind. At least regarding the outer shell and maybe the frame. Straight and rectangular sections that can easily be welded. As all good ideas it went to shit of course.

What do you mean? I save all my files to floppy.

(I actually have a floppy drive yjat I sometimes use to remember yo sounds)

Theoretically there are ways to deal with modifications in that scenario.

Prusa for instance had a trace on the PCB of the mk3 that you had to cut to be able to flash a unsigned binary iirc. You voided the warranty or at least the parts that were affected by modifications.

Imagine something like this for a car. Not a binary blob but something signed or otherwise secured through a chain of trust for components the law decides to regulate. Driving data recorder in case of crash and airbags and such. All the other non safety components can be changed and nobody but you controls your data and your ability to repair. And if you decide to change said components you loose some rights regarding insurance, not warranty for the car itself.

Yes please.

First one. And the latter.
