Tesla recalls 2,400 Cybertrucks, 6th callback for the pickups in 2024

WASHINGTON — Tesla said on Wednesday (Nov 13) it was recalling 2,400 Cybertruck pickups in the US because a faulty part could lead to a loss of power and increase the risk of a crash, in its sixth callback of Cybertrucks this year. A fault in the driver inverter in Cybertrucks manufactured through July 30 could cause the vehicle to stop producing torque when the driver uses the accelerator pedal, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a crash, Tesla said in a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Tesla will replace the recalled drive inverter with one equipped with a functioning component. The automaker said it was aware of five warranty claims tied to the issue but knew of no crashes or injuries. Beginning around Dec 9, Tesla will replace the recalled drive inverter with a new component. Tesla said it has been using the updated component in production since July 30. Last month, the EV maker said it was recalling more than 27,000 Cybertrucks due to delayed rear-view camera images that could impair driver visibility and increase crash risks.

The Libertines — Run Run Run

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idv8E-cg-us

Garage rock,
All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade’, 2024

«Run Run Run», история о том, как человек, оказавшийся в ловушке пытается вырваться из своей жалкой жизни. Oн застрял в колее «Run Run Run» и постоянно пытаясь заново пережить свое прошлое.

Песня была воспринята как «классический, но в то же время слегка хриплый танцевальный гимн инди–либералов». Фронтмен Carl Barat описал ее как «проект всей жизни на грани» и сравнил с романом 1971 года "Post Office",Буковски.

24 Furious Feline Pawsts for Overtired Office Workers Who Want to Scream at Their Boss

At a certain point of pressure, things begin to crack. There is no stopping it, it is simply a law of nature. And us hoomans are not exempt from this natural law both on a physical level and a mental level. Which is something you are likely experiencing with the aid of your belligerent boss and all of their dumb demands. The pressure is immense and keeps you up at night with worry. But all that pressure has to go somewhere, lest it explodes in your chest. So we went ahead and made this list of furious feline pawsts for overtired office workers who want to scream at their boss.

From the cracked cat who has been broken by the pressure that has been placed upon it and is now bouncing around the bathtub, to the calloused kitten who knows that life is hard, but is determined to be harder, to the buff feline who would 100% take down any boss that looks at him the wrong way.
