  • I work in animal control.

    It wouldn’t even get to that point because as soon as our admin called me, I’d laugh and refuse the job. No animal control person will do this, it’s a fucking ludicrous idea and absolutely filled with issues to be sued over.

    Kid doesn’t willfully come? Do I use a catch pole and drag him out of school? He’ll be dead before we get to the front doors. Everybody is sued.

    What if the kid attacks me, tries to stab me etc because I’m basically attempting to execute the function of the police with no training (yes yes, I know the cops have fuck all training but at least they are legally able to restrain etc, they are in the legal position to deal with it). I’ll take an angry dog over a kid with a knife any day.

    In short- the guy is an absolute fuckwit and this idea makes no sense.



  • Tesla has done a lot of scummy shit and they have likely outrightly lied about their range but pretty much all vehicle manufacturers do to some point.

    Fuel efficiency is measured in both highway and whatever cool term the company likes such as ‘city, urban, commute’

    They do these tests on test tracks, windows up, no AC, no quick acceleration or braking etc and THEN they combine them and spit out an average of the two numbers and tell you to expect that fuel economy.

    It does not happen and I’ve heard of multiple court cases against manufacturers alledging they’ve lied and the fuel efficiency they state is impossible. I don’t think any large manufacturers have lost however.

    Anyway, point being - range is usually exaggerated quiet a bit. It may be about to get those numbers in a completely unrealistic scenario but actually obtaining them in the real world, in traffic etc - they are all liars.
