Tragedy is not usually due to a single cause. Multiple failures have to happen for a tragedy to occur. In this case, the mum left them unattended, and the manufacturer implemented a feature in a dangerous way. It should have been obvious in the design phase that this was a risk, to pets if nothing else. The solution is also well known, there have been groups lobbying to make occupant sensors standard for literally decades. That they implemented one without the other is arguably corporate negligence for nothing more than extremely minor cost savings.

I agree. But that doesn’t really address the issue under discussion

The kids died because the engine auto shut off, so it’s actually an interesting question as to whether the manufacturer bears responsibility for having implemented a ‘feature’ dangerously.

I wonder what the efficiency of absorption is, though. Does 100% of emitted radiation get soaked up by the cup, or does some escape into the surroundings?

Huh. I guess the kettle has some thermal mass to it making it less efficient for small amounts

Unless I’m misunderstanding your statement, you’re saying it’s faster to boil water in the microwave than the kettle? How’s that possible? I would think the microwave has more wasted energy

This thread is just switching me around from one earworm to another

Wouldn’t the dealers / shops by the most motivated to find the problems, if that’s the case?

Not gonna make much of a difference unless you take your mum with you.

It’s amazing how bad the quality of the writing is, for an article that’s complaining about ChatGPT.

Ah, not lemmy, you’re talking about the rest of the fediverse. Gotcha

Haven’t seen anything like that myself, which instance admin are you referring to?

Don’t know the exact mechanism, but EU countries have national ID database, so unless you’re committing actual identity theft your signature will be invalidated.

Signatures will be verified at the end of the petition period.

It’s not ‘lying’ when they don’t know the truth to begin with. They could be trying to answer accurately and it’d still be dangerous misinformation.

I do agree with you. Once I learnt that apartment can mean ‘renting’, your reply made a lot more sense.

You’ll have to excuse them, they grew up drinking fluoridated water.

So space launches will run for another two years before being permanently cancelled?

Cranford is a town in the US, for everybody else.
