Jesus, and I complain about the normal one hour with six people. I can't imagine a 6-hour interview, that sounds exhausting and really boring as you repeat the same damn answer 6 times in a day.
Where I am, we break it up into 4 or 5 45 minute interviews that are intentionally planned to cover different disciplines and skills and traits, so it's at least not monotonous for the interviewee. But it is a grind, wether you're the sausage or turning the crank

Love that ocean spray on the beach? It's probably full of PFAS.
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/19/ocean-spray-pfas-study
Ocean waves crashing on the world’s shores emit more PFAS into the air than the world’s industrial polluters, new research has found, raising concerns about environmental contamination and human exposure along coastlines.
The study measured levels of PFAS released from the bubbles that burst when waves crash, spraying aerosols into the air. It found sea spray levels were hundreds of thousands times higher than levels in the water.
The contaminated spray likely affects groundwater, surface water, vegetation, and agricultural products near coastlines that are far from industrial sources of PFAS, said Ian Cousins, a Stockholm University researcher and the study’s lead author.
“There is evidence that the ocean can be an important source [of PFAS air emissions],” Cousins said. “It is definitely impacting the coastline.”

What now?
That's how most big tech companies do interviews, one or two phone screens and then a big day of interviews across a panel of interviewers that then give feedback and assess the candidate wholsitically.
It's a big pain in the ass lol. On #bothsides

The adversarial, competitive nature of trials is supposed to produce a good facsimile of truth in the sense of iron sharpens iron. But I wonder sometimes if the gamesmanship doesn't produce unjust results.
Good faith is a fertile ground upon which trumpism and fascism thrives. That basic presumption of civility is exploited and weaponized to create the sort of unequal justice we've been enjoying for a good long while.
Trump is getting free extensions on his prima facie fraudulent bond, simply because the system is built with the expectation of people not lying to the courts face. The system is so incredibly vulnerable to garbage in; garbage out, and it's the main lever of obstructionism he routines uses.
The gamesmanship doesn't guarantee unjust results, but it certainly sets the table for them.

Claiming “the data shows” without presenting data does not make it a fact. That may even be construed as misrepresentation of reality, and insisting someone accept it. Accusations, confessions, rah rah.
Is this another thing where you're claiming I said something that I didn't? You're hittin the chick fil a too hard man, you're shadowboxin with ghost posts

How is that? Oh no, I simply cannot bear to hear an opposing opinion. Please mod, come take care of this, even though an ignore function exists. I just cannot take it!!1!
You aren't bringing a different opinion. You're bringing alternative facts and material misrepresentions of reality and insisting we accept them as true before you will engage.
That is trolling my guy.

Recalls can make $$ for the dealer. While the accelerator issue may be legitimate, perhaps it's a way to keep some funds coming in to the folks that sell the trucks?

As far as your question, Ford has been in business for 121 years, has sold more than 400 million vehicles, and they're still making "bush league" mistakes. It would appear that it's hard to make cars.
Making 800 errors in a run of 400,000 vehicles is one thing.
Making 800 errors in a run of 4,000 vehicles is another thing entirely. Especially while charging an absolute premium complete with waitlists for their shit box.
Not sure why there's such a weird reflex to jump to elmos defense on Surly

I'm no defender of Elon or Tesla, though I was impressed with a Tesla Model S that I drove, but recalls are part-and-parcel of operating a car company these days. My Altima has had several. Ford just recalled 450,000+ Broncos because they might lose drive power while driving, increasing the chances of an accident. So I guess I don't understand the fixation that some have with regards to Tesla having recalls.
https://www.foxbusiness.com/fox-news-auto/ford-recalls-450000-vehicles-due-loss-drive-powerTesla has ten times the market cap of Ford. Why are they making bush league mistakes on extremely limited runs of cars if they're supposed to be worth more than the next five largest automakers combined?

It must be hard to go through life constantly keeping a balance sheet against every other person you see, constantly measuring to see if you're getting as good a deal as them.
Christ, fatty. Does literally everything in life boil down to dollars for you? You must be a real fuckin hoot at parties.

I think there are a shit ton of people in this country that are a dangerous combination of A) stupid and B) irrationally distrustful of things like the federal government, science, medicine and education. They were both consumers and purveyors of disinformation related to the pandemic and they are who made the pandemic what it was in this country. They are who filled the covid death stat sheet for the US. They were going to be stupid, distrustful and not follow guidelines and mandates regardless of who was elected in 2016. Do you all honestly think Joe Dirt would have happily practiced social distancing, masked up when out and taken the vaccine like a good citizen if Hilary Clinton or Joe Biden was in the White House being all Presidential and shit? Fuck no.
Has the Republican party done a lot to ensure we have an unhealthy population of manipulatable idiots that are irrationally distrustful of societal institutions like government, science, health care and education? Absolutely. But Donald Trump wasn't involved with the Republican Party before 2015 or so and the post I responded to stated Donald Trump should be held criminally liable for covid deaths in the US. I still completely disagree. January 6th, yes. Georgia vote manufacturing pressure, yes. Covid deaths, no.
Trump's anti-vaccine rhetoric turbo-charged the antivax movement, and we're now seeing the re-emergence of polio and measles. It's now political to be vaccinated or not.
Trump made it political.
I don't think he should be held criminally liable for COVID deaths (and maladministration is really hard to prosecute), but he shouldn't be fucking let off the hook as you're suggesting.

The company says an "unapproved change" in the production of the pedal meant "lubricant" was used in its assembly, which means the pad did not stick properly to the pedal.

16 minutes ago, Goredho said:I agree 100% with #1 and #2. I disagree about #3. Trump's public displays of leadership during covid were about what you could expect from a reality TV star running a superpower during a no-shit global crisis, but covid was going to come to the US and kill a million plus no matter who was in the white house. And for all of his public fumbling, Trump largely allowed "the deep state" to do what they had planned for this scenario. Even if he just kind of left a lot of the actual response to the states, lockdowns and mask mandates happened, and a vaccine got developed and deployed in a pretty astonishing feat of governmental and industrial cooperation. A lot of lives were saved as a result of those efforts directed primarily by federal technocrats like Fauci and other public health officials below the federal level. Neither Trump or Biden had much to do with it.
Counterpoint: we know that trump KNEW covid was airborne and highly infectious in February 2020. He actively downplayed the danger and fueled a fucking litany of conspiracy theories with health consequences we are still dealing with today. Fauci and the rest of the pandemic response happened in spite of trump, and were frequently undercut by him

My buddy in Houston got one of these plans after he got his Tesla and started charging it and deep cooling at night.
I didn’t quite give him the savings he was after.
So he got two of the Tesla batteries installed (solar panels were back ordered)
He’d charge his car, batteries, and get his house down to like 65 at night. Use the battery during the day. His bill dropped by at least half.
They finally got his solar panels in and installed them.
It’s a rare month where he pays anything for electricity…. Which is nuts to say in Houston, Tx.
I don’t know what his ROI is for what he dropped…. But his feeling that he’s hacked the system gives him something that’s hard to quantitate.
This is the dream, he'll have decent power resiliency when ERCOT inevitably shits the bed again and leaves the state dark
