The incidents had nothing to do with divided highways. You can see the video is at residential streets.

It isn't a unique Texas Law. It's law everywhere in the US and Canada.

"mostly all in North America, require all surrounding vehicles to stop when a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_bus_traffic_stop_laws

"And the human drivers who move to Texas often get tripped up by this law, because many aren't aware of the requirement."

Only if you are from a different country.

Which is beside the point that if anyone else drove through 20 bus stops, they couldn't use the excuse, "I'm from another country so I don't know your laws." to get out of jail.

That it's a software fix is also beside the point. "Oh I drove illegally 20 times. I know better and won't do it again."

There was a news story two weeks ago about Waymo taxis in Texas driving through 20 bus stops over a few days.

The only response was, "company officials treat this very seriously and are working on a fix."

It's bizarre how if you drove through twenty bus stops in three days, you would not only lose your license but be in jail on multiple charges.

But if a corporation does it it is, "Oops, we will do better next time."

Utterly insane.

No wonder Sovereign Citizens think they can get away with anything with the right paperwork.

A EU ruling does absolutely nothing to remove Putin from power.

The EU has already ruled that Putin's actions were illegal in 2022. Russia needs to be defeated.

They trade with him opportunistically,

That's all trade. Trade supports countries economically.

They will throw him under the bus the second there is an incentive, and will probably benefit from it

That's capitalism.

How about get Russia out of Ukraine before declaring victory with plans to arrest Putin?

Milosevic didn't have nuclear weapons and the economic support of India and China. Expecting Putin to face consequences is like thinking Trump will face consequences.

It's nice to dream. But seriously. Serbia is not a superpower. The only thing that can stop Putin is Russians. Just like the only thing that can stop Trump is Americans.

Not going to happen. Might makes right in this world.

But that leaves the utilities with alle the risk,

Not if you make the data center pay for it.

If a consumer wants a utility upgrade, the consumer pays all costs upfront. I know this because my neighbor works for the power company and was trying to get gas lines run to our neighborhood. The cost the power company would charge us was hundreds of thousands which even divided by the number of homes meant it would never pay off vs outlr existing cost for propane delivery.

The resources are finite whether the taxpayers pay for the construction or the corporation that needs the electric upgrade pays.

How do you identify sock puppets? Are they all the same IP?

He did a comparison of products ending with a recommendation. That's a review.

I don't know why you can't accept that.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You don't watch all of his videos which is why you have the wrong idea. It's the 2024 video where he reviewed Tru Tone.

If products are compared in detail and a suggestion to buy is given, it's a review.

It doesn't matter what you think the channel is supposed to be. What matters is the content.

"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.
