No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I read somewhere a while back that most or at least half of California wildfires are cause by faulty electrical company equipment. Is this true? And how come no one has ever reported it?English
8·11 days agoIt gets reported and investigated all the time. PG&E, a large power company in California, paid around $14 billion in the court case following the big fires there a few years ago.

3·15 days agoNot true, young padawan. I personally hit a jaywalker one time and didn’t even get a traffic citation. She was crossing against the light, at night, in a pounding rain, and apparently hadn’t bothered to look. I wasn’t quite able to stop in time. Witnesses confirmed my story and contradicted hers (that she was in the crosswalk with the light in her favor). If somebody disables their own hearing it’s on them, but if they claimed not to hear you and your car was in fact not making any sound because you disabled it (in violation of federal law) it would be on you.

91·15 days agoIf you’re in the US federal law requires EVs to emit sounds while going under about 20 mph so pedestrians and cyclists can hear them approach. If you ever hit anybody who steps into the street because they couldn’t hear you, you’ll be in deep doggie doodoo.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Could the Supreme Court overturning Marbury vs Madison be a way to repeal the US Constitution?English

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people get mad at you for using Wikipedia, but treat Google and AI chatbots like they're gospel?English

Yes, just like HR is there for employees.



What we actually need to govern is management stupidity.
