Why should the US bail them out when 90% of their bad investments are in mainland china? Let them fold.

Every server room has an EPO (Emergency Power Off) button. Kills all power to the server room, so this job would be a breeze...

Also we affectionately call the EPO the "I Quit Button"

This how people are gonna find out how bad of an idea to allow the manufacturer to have that much control over your car after purchase. Tesla will shut their cars off if they find them jail breaked.

Just like the guy that wasn't allowed to fix the cooling hose on the battery Tesla's only option was to replace it. A third party fixed it but he still had concerns that they would shut it off (citing safety) because he wouldn't buy a whole new battery after he fixed it. Also barring him from quick charge stations was another concern.

I have a friend that has tourrette's we have drag him kicking and screaming to go out. Its a horrible affliction, and he has one of the mildest forms. Just random head ticks no outbursts. Also he won't drink as the ticks become more frequent and extreme.

But we'll be damned that he stays hold in his house. After we get him out he enjoys himself once his nerves calm down and he realizes nobody is staring when he ticks.

Into the Wild was a cautionary tail that for some reason people romanticize...

Sub-standard "spicy pillows" need to be banned. The amount of energy and that fact that water or any normal ABC extinguisher cant put the fire out is enough for me to get really strict on regulating them. Especially in apartment/condos

I had this exact thing happen to me, they wanted me to move from a tax free state to LA. I said no and they came back we promised your position to another employee. I said ok I need at least a 50% raise to counter the cost of living and taxes. They balked and thought they could push me into it. I stood my ground to stay in my current position and they had to fire me, which looks bad on them as I had no infractions.

I collected, didn't have to pay back my relocation (over 20k) and had a job that I pushed off until near end of unemployment. Thanks for the free long vacation! I went to China and HK (this is before the chaos) for a few months
