    1. More Tesla news for you…

      Norwegian Tesla owners are so fed up they are starting a HUNGER STRIKE to get the attention of Musk’s service department…

      “… just a few of the major issues noted are poor paint quality, rust, inability to meet claimed battery life, failing heat pumps, stuck door handles in the cold, and yellowing infotainment screens (that Tesla told the NHTSA were only meant to last “5-6 years” anyway). Other issues can be found easily on owners’ forums. For example, issues with the car’s lights, bubbling seats, water collecting in the trunk, loose trim pieces, and reduced power. Another complaint is simply that “autopilot does not work properly.”

      “…another huge issue preventing owners from having their vehicles perform to their expectations involves the customer service side of the company. Owners say that they spend an inordinate amount of time waiting on hold to actually speak with someone from Tesla and that they never receive a call back when promised. “The Drive” has heard similar complaints from U.S. owners, specifically from one who recently was unable to drive their car for six months because Tesla’s botched paperwork rendered them unable to register their vehicle.”

      1. When in doubt buy from Honda , Toyota or their subsidiaries like Hino, Acura, Lexus.
        I used to be a GMC and Ford man but no longer, had enough, just like I had my belly full of British junk in my youth.

        1. “When in doubt buy from Honda , Toyota or their subsidiaries …”

          Yes, also Mazda and Subaru.

  1. Way back when I was shocked at the ending of Easy Rider – but I watched it recently and found myself barracking for the good ol’ boys in the pick-up.

    1. Murdering people on bikes is something to cheer for?

      Well, you certainly “grew up” to be an idiot, yeah?

  2. Many people who have had 3 Covid vaccines still got Covid. Is the 4th shot supposed to protect from variants?
    Any day now we should be hearing from our Expert, Dr Tam.

  3. In economic news, Goldman Sachs predicts that UK inflation will peak next year at 22% if energy prices remain at their current levels.

  4. My inquisitive mind looks at the overall game board that we currently live in to understand how or why decisions were made from flimsy evidence…
    Let’s look at ‘The Royalty’ as the German War machine is crushing is way over Europe.
    No viable options are available as they’re superiority in even invading England is on the cards…
    The current King makes secret deals before the arrival of allied forces are a viable alternative.
    Had this King stayed in power, these secret agreements would be exposed as were later discovered.
    The ‘Royalty’ would have survived but under a different ruling class.
    Changing the King was the only viable solution as not knowing or part of that agreements saves the Royalty from massive scandals and unrest. Pretty lame excuse for getting rid of the King as they control what information is exposed and the narrative of the day.
    Playing both sides of the game board is the usual thing our politicians seem to do.
    It certainly saved the Royalty from the wrath of the people.

    Just my take on information that we don’t usually get a chance investigate.

  5. Virginia is a place that still seriously has obscenity laws that can sued to not only force books out of public libraries but private places too. Thankfully, the new Taliban were defeated by the 1A.

    “Two lawsuits filed in Virginia Beach by attorney and State Delegate Tim Anderson, on behalf of client Tommy Altman, sought to get both books not only removed from schools and libraries, but removed from private sale through bookstores across the state. The first lawsuit included a restraining order against Barnes & Noble and Virginia Beach Schools, and the second lawsuit focused on Oni Press, publisher of Gender Queer, as well as its author Maia Kobabe.”

      1. Like those white farmer families slaughtered by the subhuman savages?
        They too were disarmed by the state btw.

        1. The many various peoples pouring into Canada, who will define its future, largely do not even know what a Boer is. If they start chanting ‘Kill The Bore!’ then maybe you should be concerned.

          1. Oh you mean like when the state broadcaster celebrates the end of white people? Like say here:
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb55teb1gJ0

            Also it does not matter if they don’t know who a Boer is (“who” not “what”, Freudian slip I know). It matters that they hate whitey for all the evils of colonialism (aka civilization).

          2. That’s not the ‘end of white people’ you snowflake, though for racists like you having to live with non-whites may as well be. And no they don’t hate whitey. They just hate you. They are in good company.

          3. Yes that’s about the “end of white people”, that is exactly what they celebrate and postulate. Just like the savages in South Africa. They hate me as much as they hate all the whitey. There is a reason tens of thousands of Brampton residents have fled.
