It's honestly impressive to find out that someone is WORSE than Apple when it comes to repairing and customer rights.

"Escort back to China" sure is a weird way of saying they kidnapped her.

Should be treated like they are? Okay, so full outrage, comparisons to the Kent State massacre, and the administration facing reprisals and consequences for deploying snipers to intimidate, threaten, and potentially murder students.

We're treating them like they're snipers, Admin, you're welcome.

The fact that that article is itself behind a paywall is some weapons grade irony that The Onion wishes it thought of.

Concussion and head injury are a serious problem in Football today, so this tracks.

Yeah, no. Musk bought Twitter because he HAD to. He very publicly made comments about buying Twitter at absolute meme-stock prices, but didn't disclose that he already owned a LOT of Twitter stock. So, when his comments predictably increased the price of Twitter stock, he had two choices: Either it was just talk, and he was BLATANTLY guilty of stock manipulation and the Feds put a target on his back, or he acts like he totally meant it.

So he went with option two, acted like he was serious and wanted to buy twitter. Then he tried everything he could think of to kill the deal, accusing Twitter of all sorts of wrongdoing and lies, but Twitter was more careful than that. They got their shit right, and Musk couldn't back out. So he bought Twitter, rather than go to prison.

The fact that he could also kill the tracking twitter account was completely incidental. Musk is an idiot, but even he isn't that stupid. Musk initially offered $5,000 to the account holder to stop, and then balked at the return offer for $50,000. Now, I may not be a billionaire tech-bro, but I'm pretty sure that spending $50,000 to achieve a goal is preferable to spending $44,000,000,000. He's dumb, but he's not that dumb.

He's a fucking loser, and he'll never love you no matter how much you hope he notices you.

Musk isn't an Engineer. He hasn't designed anything, the extent of his responsibility for anything of value is telling other people, smarter people, to invent something. He doesn't create, he buys existing companies then parades around like he's the one that started them.

You want a shit take? Take a look at how far out of your way you went to defend him and you'll see that shit take. He hasn't used his money to improve shit. He used it to burn 20+ billion dollars on a global communications platform and turn it into a cesspit of lies and nazis.

So yeah, we'll dismiss him. Elon Musk is a fucking idiot that doesn't know when to shut the fuck up and throws a tantrum every time he's handed a loss.

For anyone who stopped reading at the headline, it's because the material they were using didn't reach the strength requirements of the project (5,000 psi), despite what previous tests had suggested (6,000 to 8,000 psi). With revisions to the material used, they intend to begin working on the second planned house in the spring.

Honestly the only surprising thing gleaned here is the notion that the gag order was actually working in the first place.

But guys, they swore an oath of loyalty to Russia, the plan is foolproof.

Okay but is it really averting a Nuclear Holocaust when you're the president and you're entertaining those intrusive thoughts, only to then decide not to initiate a nuclear holocaust? I mean, you don't really get to say you stopped a mass shooter, when all you did was not go on a mass shooting.

Elon used to love saying he was a Free Speech Absolutist, but once again that only extends to speech he likes.
