Frigid winter weather in Chicago has caused major malfunctions at Tesla charging stations across the city, leaving drivers stranded at a series of “Tesla graveyards,” unable to power up their electric vehicles.

Tesla owners were seen waiting in lengthy lines in the Chicago area as temperatures dipped to near 0 degrees fahrenheit (-17C) in recent days, with some even abandoning their cars after finding they would not take a charge.

“Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent,” Chicago resident Tyler Beard told a local Fox affiliate, adding that his vehicle has been stranded at a Tesla Supercharger site since Sunday afternoon.

I’m sure it will be fine

And when they do run they’ll only bring the temperature down further.

I guess trying to start a hybrid with a lead acid would have the same probs. i did read someone saying that they charge at home and turn on the battery heater before leaving. Of course not everyone can charge at home but surely a battery heater would be doable.

Aviators would light fires under the engines of their aircraft to stop the oil solidifying when the planes were parked overnight in freezing conditions. Often with unfortunate results as the oil would get so hot as to ignite and set fire to the engine compartment, along with the rest of the plane.

Firstly, there’s currently 72 jobs listed with the FAA for ‘individuals with disabilities’, not 52 as RT (Ratbag Tales) claims.

The article is meant and written so as to to give the impression (without directly saying) that a person with any sort of disability or impairment, including severe psychiatric or intellectual impairment can not only apply for the jobs, but must compulsorily be given the job.

Of course, that’s nonsense. Even for jobs which have been reserved for what are known as ‘Schedule A’ applicants will attract a variety of applicants, and the hirers can select from among those the applicant who they feel is most suitable. Bluntly, they don’t have to give the job to the first person they see, crazy or not.

And, if you look at the requirements for the jobs, you can see that they’re not interested in just any ‘random’ person with an impairment/disability.

Take the two pilots’ jobs adbvertised.

In brief, applicants need to have:

Certificates and Ratings: All applicants must possess either a valid Commercial pilot certificate with airplane, multi-engine land AND instrument ratings OR an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate with multi-engine land rating, and must possess either a valid first or second-class medical certificate.

TOTAL FLIGHT TIME – 1500 Hours.

Flight time as a pilot in command or copilot in aircraft of any weight or category is creditable for this requirement.

PILOT-IN-COMMAND TIME – 250 Hours.

Only flight hours acquired as pilot-in-command are creditable.

NIGHT FLYING TIME – 75 Hours.

For inservice placement actions, 25 hours may be waived if the applicant demonstrates the ability to perform the work.

FLYING TIME, LAST 12 MONTHS – 100 Hours.

MULTIENGINE AIRPLANE TIME – 500 Hours.

Experience may have been in either light or heavy multi-engine airplanes.

INSTRUMENT TIME – 75 Hours.

At least 10 of the required hours must have been logged in actual instrument weather. The balance may have been acquired in a flight simulator or as other types of instrument flight time; e.g., hood instrument.

In order to verify your flight hours, applicants MUST provide FA Form 3330-47-3. Click here to obtain a copy of the required form.

AND

Selective Placement Factor: To qualify for this position, applicants must possess a Commercial Pilot Certificate or Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (ATP) and either a valid First or Second Class Medical Certificate. Selected candidates must obtain a First Class Medical Certificate prior to appointment.

So, it’s not some wild ‘affirmative action’ fantasy where they’re just taking any old Joe straight out of the nuthouse. Raving homicidal/suicidal loonies are not likely to last at least 1,500 hours at the controls of an aircraft. They’re looking for pilots who have at least a demonstrated solid level of experience. People with established credentials and reputations.

And, there’s no suggestion in the article that selection panels would apply any sort of professional judgment to the selection. While applicants can ask for a reasonable degree of accommodation for their disability/impairment in the jobs, there would have to be limits to how far that could be provided.

To be blunt again and to take an extreme example, no-one is going to hire, as a pilot, a severely psychotic person in a wheelchair with only one arm who’s unable to speak. They will, presumably, select the best and most suitable applicant from those who they interview and test.

The whole story is meant for the amusement of Russian allies and clients, the distraction of Russian readers, and the fomenting of more petty distraction in the Us and elsewhere.

As an aside, when it comes to having people with ‘mental conditions’ as pilots, who would you rather fly with: a pilot who’s been recognised as having some mental health problems, received assistance and therapy for those problems, and who may well be on a schedule of suitable medication, or some random person whose problems are not known (or recognised, even by them) or diagnosed, has received no advice or help, and who’s struggling with them all on his/her own?

I do wonder how he would have fared during WW2, when, for instance, the Japanese media proclaimed on an almost daily basis the sinking of multiple Allied aircraft carriers and battleships by Imperial Japanese forces.

When all the numbers in the broadcasts and print articles were added up, it would have indicated that every Allied capital ship in the Pacific had been sunk three times over (admittedly, sinking twice was a possibility for those battleships which had been raised from sunk at Pearl Harbour, and put back into service).

Indeed, some particular ships were named in the Japanese propaganda more than once, but no-one in Japan seems to have said ‘hey, didn’t we already sink the Enterprise last week?’.

Cruisers and destroyers rarely got a mention, as they were not important enough, of worthy enough of the valour of Japanese fighting men. And everyone wanted to be a hero, so after-mission briefing consisted of one-upmanship as Pilot 1 claimed to have damaged an aircraft carrier, so Pilot 2 one-ups by claiming to have hit two battleships, Pilot 3 pipes up with a claim to have sunk a battleship etc. etc.

All this nonsense went over big with the Japanese populace, and with Japan’s few allies.

It seems that, even today, there’s always people willing to believe, as long as they like the source. But, wookie would be the first to agree with that.

Interesting to know. I don’t trust any information produced by the American defence propaganda machine.
Or any major type of military equipment bought from them.

Frigid winter weather in Chicago has caused major malfunctions at Tesla charging stations across the city, leaving drivers stranded at a series of “Tesla graveyards,” unable to power up their electric vehicles.

Tesla owners were seen waiting in lengthy lines in the Chicago area as temperatures dipped to near 0 degrees fahrenheit (-17C) in recent days, with some even abandoning their cars after finding they would not take a charge.

“Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent,” Chicago resident Tyler Beard told a local Fox affiliate, adding that his vehicle has been stranded at a Tesla Supercharger site since Sunday afternoon.

I read recently that Teslas can be charged from a normal power point. It’s not fast. “A 120 volt outlet will supply 2 to 3 miles of range per hour of charge”.

When the CIA headquarters at Langley, Virginia was being built, a reporter was trying to find out some data on it.

No-one in the US government would say anything about it, on ‘security’ grounds.

The reporter had a brainwave, and called the Russian embassy in Washington DC.

The Russians were able to tell the reporter how big the complex would be, gave an estimate of its cost, how many people would be working there, how big the car park would be, when it was due to be completed, etc. etc.

A prominent advocate for victims in the Middle East has been accused of orchestrating the kidnapping and torture of a man because he worked for a Jewish employer.

Laura Allam – a 28-year-old mother who claims to do humanitarian work and has tens of thousands of followers on social media – has been charged with kidnapping, armed robbery, false imprisonment, unlawful assault and assault by kicking.

But an extraordinary suppression order relating to her case prevents the Herald Sun from running Ms Allam’s image, referencing some ethnic groups or providing certain detail about her advocacy activities.

The alleged attack on the 31-year-old man occurred in a residential area in St Albans on Friday, February 16.

A Victoria Police spokesperson last night said in a statement: “It’s alleged a man was pulled from a car near the intersection of Gladstone and Cleveland streets about 9.30pm.

“He was then allegedly placed in another car and assaulted and robbed before being released in Braybrook.”

Sources said the man needed extensive treatment in hospital for injuries sustained in the “horrific kidnapping and torture”.

They added that Ms Allam, who lives in Fraser Rise in Melbourne’s northwest, had orchestrated the vicious assault.
