your car is smouldering and licks of flame are beginning to shoot out from the undercarriage, your children are in the back seat. quickly take your 12v battery pack, remove the cover from the bumper, connect the battery to the auxiliary power terminal, and hope that enough of the car comes online to allow you to use the rear door handles.

Irish fans have reacted to Azealia Banks' controversial comments, which she made on Instagram following a sold out gig in Dublin.
The rapper used the phrase "inbred leprechauns" and asked "don't you have a famine to go die in?"

as some kind of weird coincidence, it's only shaky foreign airlines with poorly trained pilots that bought it with the disabled features

for some reason, only the planes with lovely pilots went down

Notorious b.s.d. posted:

maybe i should have just said "foreign airline," because you people want to make it a race thing, and it's just not

it's not like icelandair or air france is famous for high quality pilots

civil aviation outside the united states is a hot mess

'There's No Such Thing As Cold, Hard Reality': Meet The Hyperloop's Truest Believers

quote:

And HARP’s communications director, David Pring-Mill, rebuffed the idea that c5s have, as a Daily Beast headline from March put it, failed as an idea as they’ve slammed into “cold, hard reality.”

ADVERTISEMENT
Once upon a time, Pring-Mill contended, horses and buggies were the cold, hard reality of the transportation world. Then, in what he characterized as “the blink of an eye,” railroads lined the continents. Another blink and airplanes, metal tubes in the sky, became the norm for long-distance transportation. Now, Pring-Mill posits, we shall blink once more, and 3 wheelers on the ground will be the newest cold, hard reality.

Q. Contacting the media. You said he should have contacted the media to correct that he wasn't married to Tik. Did do you anything to try to get the media to correct what you would have tell -- tell me today was this misinterpretation that you had not intended to call him a pedophile?

A. Yes.

Q. Did you?

A. Yes. I apologized on Twitter and said my comments were a mistake. On the other hand, Unsworth has done nothing.

Q. Done nothing for what?

A. Nothing to correct his statements, his insults, and attacks. Nothing. Nothing

quote:

A. He -- this guy is like basically saying I
did this for a publicity stunt. He's questioning
my motives; I questioned his motives. He insulted
the efforts of a great many people who tried to be
helpful. His actions were not good.
Now, my actions were not good either.
Two wrongs don't make a right, that is for sure.
Q. But you suggested over the course of your
communications that Mr. Unsworth may have been
involved in pedophilia, right?
A. In the later comments, yes, this is what
I was told by the investigator.
Q. So you've got the tragedy you suffered by
someone describing your tube as a publicity stunt,
calling it bullshit through use of an idiom "Stick
it where it hurts."
And then you've got the tragedy of
Mr. Unsworth with a billionaire, one of the world's
most influential and powerful people, suggesting
that he was a pedophile.
Which one -- which tragedy strikes you as
being greater? Who suffered the most; you or
Mr. Unsworth?
MR. SPIRO: Objection.
You don't have to answer that.

...

Q. I'm just saying: You tell me that this
is the most damaging thing that's ever happened to
you in terms of Vernon Unsworth's comments?
A. No. This whole fiasco is the most
damaging thing.
Q. What do you mean?
A. His original comments were, of course,
hurtful, but this whole fiasco I'd say has damaged
my reputation more than anything.
Q. What do you mean when you say "this whole
fiasco"?
A. This is like, these tweets.
Q. What do you mean when you say "this whole
fiasco"?
A. The series of tweets, the interaction
with BuzzFeed. These have all been very damaging,
and has hurt me greatly.
Q. But they were your tweets?
A. It's, you know, I think self-inflicted
wounds are the worst ones.

quote:

Q. He says "Jim, timeline is ASAP. I am
meeting Mike at 0800 GMT to begin the process. It
has to appear organic and not contrived."
Did you understand him to be referring to
the media leaks?
A. Yes. Something involving the media,
yeah.
Q. "Priority is to divert the story away
from the principal."
That would be referring to Elon Musk,
right?
A. Yup.
Q. "Priority is to divert the story away
from the principal, and let the UK tabloids develop
their story."
Hoping to get a story about
Vernon Unsworth, right?
A. Correct.
Q. "And an unflattering story," true?
A. Right. Just wherever the cards would
fall in investigative work, gathering information
and -- but yes, something that would be -- would
have people question the motive for being in
Thailand.
Q. And raise the possibility of sexual
misconduct, including pedophilia?
A. I mean, that would be among the things
that people would question, I would assume, yes.
Q. And you wanted that story to be
published, and Mr. Musk wanted it to be published
too. True?
A. When you say "that story." I mean,
it's --
Q. Well, the points that you all talked
about on Exhibit 66.
A. Yeah.
Q. That's what you were talking about,
right?



A. Yeah, I mean, in general you have someone
who has disrupted many industries, and you as a
result has many people who seek to discredit him,
and therefore any data point, good or bad, is blown
extremely out of proportion in the media, and
therefore, you know, my instinct to protect was
that we needed to somehow balance, because there
was a clear imbalance in what was in the media.
Q. The imbalance being Elon Musk was looking
very bad?
A. 100 percent negative towards --
Q. And Unsworth was looking very good as a
victim?
A. It was all negative -- or a lot of it was
negative toward Elon.
Q. And you wanted to shift the balance to
have more negative about Vernon Unsworth.
A. To have a more balanced view. If there
was information to be found, part of it was to
encourage investigative reporting to do, you know,
part of the lifting here.
