my original plan was for tj's costume to look kind of power rangery once he finally gets one but to actually protect him against the specific things he needs protection from i think that will probably not end up being true lol

“Blame Absenteeism For Dropping Shift,” Toronto Star. July 24, 1942. Page 30. --- Men Failed to Turn Out, Says Mitchell --- Ottawa, July 24 - (CP) - Hon. Humphrey Mitchell, minister of labor, said in the House of Commons today, that ‘serious’ absenteeism among the 312 miners had been the major factor in a Nova Scotia provincial government mine at Inverness, N.S. going on a single shift-program.

Men had failed to turn out in sufficient numbers to maintain production on all shifts and the transfer to a single shift was decided upon, he said.

Cars bricked by bankrupt EV company will stay bricked

On OCTOBER 23 at 7PM, I'll be in DECATUR, presenting my novel THE BEZZLE at EAGLE EYE BOOKS.

There are few phrases in the modern lexicon more accursed than "software-based car," and yet, this is how the failed EV maker Fisker billed its products, which retailed for $40-70k in the few short years before the company collapsed, shut down its servers, and degraded all those "software-based cars":

https://insideevs.com/news/723669/fisker-inc-bankruptcy-chapter-11-official/

Fisker billed itself as a "capital light" manufacturer, meaning that it didn't particularly make anything – rather, it "designed" cars that other companies built, allowing Fisker to focus on "experience," which is where the "software-based car" comes in. Virtually every subsystem in a Fisker car needs (or rather, needed) to periodically connect with its servers, either for regular operations or diagnostics and repair, creating frequent problems with brakes, airbags, shifting, battery management, locking and unlocking the doors:

https://www.businessinsider.com/fisker-owners-worry-about-vehicles-working-bankruptcy-2024-4

Since Fisker's bankruptcy, people with even minor problems with their Fisker EVs have found themselves owning expensive, inert lumps of conflict minerals and auto-loan debt; as one Fisker owner described it, "It's literally a lawn ornament right now":

https://www.businessinsider.com/fisker-owners-describe-chaos-to-keep-cars-running-after-bankruptcy-2024-7

This is, in many ways, typical Internet-of-Shit nonsense, but it's compounded by Fisker's capital light, all-outsource model, which led to extremely unreliable vehicles that have been plagued by recalls. The bankrupt company has proposed that vehicle owners should have to pay cash for these recalls, in order to reserve the company's capital for its creditors – a plan that is clearly illegal:

https://www.veritaglobal.net/fisker/document/2411390241007000000000005

This isn't even the first time Fisker has done this! Ten years ago, founder Henrik Fisker started another EV company called Fisker Automotive, which went bankrupt in 2014, leaving the company's "Karma" (no, really) long-range EVs (which were unreliable and prone to bursting into flames) in limbo:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisker_Karma

Which raises the question: why did investors reward Fisker's initial incompetence by piling in for a second attempt? I think the answer lies in the very factor that has made Fisker's failure so hard on its customers: the "software-based car." Investors love the sound of a "software-based car" because they understand that a gadget that is connected to the cloud is ripe for rent-extraction, because with software comes a bundle of "IP rights" that let the company control its customers, critics and competitors:

https://locusmag.com/2020/09/cory-doctorow-ip/

A "software-based car" gets to mobilize the state to enforce its "IP," which allows it to force its customers to use authorized mechanics (who can, in turn, be price-gouged for licensing and diagnostic tools). "IP" can be used to shut down manufacturers of third party parts. "IP" allows manufacturers to revoke features that came with your car and charge you a monthly subscription fee for them. All sorts of features can be sold as downloadable content, and clawed back when title to the car changes hands, so that the new owners have to buy them again. "Software based cars" are easier to repo, making them perfect for the subprime auto-lending industry. And of course, "software-based cars" can gather much more surveillance data on drivers, which can be sold to sleazy, unregulated data-brokers:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon

Unsurprisingly, there's a large number of Fisker cars that never sold, which the bankruptcy estate is seeking a buyer for. For a minute there, it looked like they'd found one: American Lease, which was looking to acquire the deadstock Fiskers for use as leased fleet cars. But now that deal seems dead, because no one can figure out how to restart Fisker's servers, and these vehicles are bricks without server access:

https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/08/fisker-bankruptcy-hits-major-speed-bump-as-fleet-sale-is-now-in-question/

It's hard to say why the company's servers are so intransigent, but there's a clue in the chaotic way that the company wound down its affairs. The company's final days sound like a scene from the last days of the German Democratic Republic, with apparats from the failing state charging about in chaos, without any plans for keeping things running:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/07/east-germany-stasi-surveillance-documents/

As it imploded, Fisker cycled through a string of Chief Financial officers, losing track of millions of dollars at a time:

https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/31/fisker-collapse-investigation-ev-ocean-suv-henrik-geeta/

When Fisker's landlord regained possession of its HQ, they found "complete disarray," including improperly stored drums of toxic waste:

https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/05/fiskers-hq-abandoned-in-complete-disarray-with-apparent-hazardous-waste-clay-models-left-behind/

And while Fisker's implosion is particularly messy, the fact that it landed in bankruptcy is entirely unexceptional. Most businesses fail (eventually) and most startups fail (quickly). Despite this, businesses – even those in heavily regulated sectors like automotive regulation – are allowed to design products and undertake operations that are not designed to outlast the (likely short-lived) company.

After the 2008 crisis and the collapse of financial institutions like Lehman Brothers, finance regulators acquired a renewed interest in succession planning. Lehman consisted of over 6,000 separate corporate entities, each one representing a bid to evade regulation and/or taxation. Unwinding that complex hairball took years, during which the entities that entrusted Lehman with their funds – pensions, charitable institutions, etc – were unable to access their money.

To avoid repeats of this catastrophe, regulators began to insist that banks produce "living wills" – plans for unwinding their affairs in the event of catastrophe. They had to undertake "stress tests" that simulated a wind-down as planned, both to make sure the plan worked and to estimate how long it would take to execute. Then banks were required to set aside sufficient capital to keep the lights on while the plan ran on.

This regulation has been indifferently enforced. Banks spent the intervening years insisting that they are capable of prudently self-regulating without all this interference, something they continue to insist upon even after the Silicon Valley Bank collapse:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/15/mon-dieu-les-guillotines/#ceci-nes-pas-une-bailout

The fact that the rules haven't been enforced tells us nothing about whether the rules would work if they were enforced. A string of high-profile bankruptcies of companies who had no succession plans and whose collapse stands to materially harm large numbers of people tells us that something has to be done about this.

Take 23andme, the creepy genomics company that enticed millions of people into sending them their genetic material (even if you aren't a 23andme customer, they probably have most of your genome, thanks to relatives who sent in cheek-swabs). 23andme is now bankrupt, and its bankruptcy estate is shopping for a buyer who'd like to commercially exploit all that juicy genetic data, even if that is to the detriment of the people it came from. What's more, the bankruptcy estate is refusing to destroy samples from people who want to opt out of this future sale:

https://bourniquelaw.com/2024/10/09/data-23-and-me/

On a smaller scale, there's Juicebox, a company that makes EV chargers, who are exiting the North American market and shutting down their servers, killing the advanced functionality that customers paid extra for when they chose a Juicebox product:

https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/2/24260316/juicebox-ev-chargers-enel-x-way-closing-discontinued-app

I actually owned a Juicebox, which ultimately caught fire and melted down, either due to a manufacturing defect or to the criminal ineptitude of Treeium, the worst solar installers in Southern California (or both):

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/27/here-comes-the-sun-king/#sign-here

Projects like Juice Rescue are trying to reverse-engineer the Juicebox server infrastructure and build an alternative:

https://juice-rescue.org/

This would be much simpler if Juicebox's manufacturer, Enel X Way, had been required to file a living will that explained how its customers would go on enjoying their property when and if the company discontinued support, exited the market, or went bankrupt.

That might be a big lift for every little tech startup (though it would be superior than trying to get justice after the company fails). But in regulated sectors like automotive manufacture or genomic analysis, a regulation that says, "Either design your products and services to fail safely, or escrow enough cash to keep the lights on for the duration of an orderly wind-down in the event that you shut down" would be perfectly reasonable. Companies could make "software based cars" but the more "software based" the car was, the more funds they'd have to escrow to transition their servers when they shut down (and the lest capital they'd have to build the car).

Such a rule should be in addition to more muscular rules simply banning the most abusive practices, like the Oregon state Right to Repair bill, which bans the "parts pairing" that makes repairing a Fisker car so onerous:

https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/27/24097042/right-to-repair-law-oregon-sb1596-parts-pairing-tina-kotek-signed

Or the Illinois state biometric privacy law, which strictly limits the use of the kind of genomic data that 23andme collected:

https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=3004

Failing to take action on these abusive practices is dangerous – and not just to the people who get burned by them. Every time a genomics research project turns into a privacy nightmare, that salts the earth for future medical research, making it much harder to conduct population-scale research, which can be carried out in privacy-preserving ways, and which pays huge scientific dividends that we all benefit from:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/01/the-palantir-will-see-you-now/#public-private-partnership

Just as Fisker's outrageous ripoff will make life harder for good cleantech companies:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/06/26/unplanned-obsolescence/#better-micetraps

If people are convinced that new, climate-friendly tech is a cesspool of grift and extraction, it will punish those firms that are making routine, breathtaking, exciting (and extremely vital) breakthroughs:

One of my favorite things about fma is that you don't have to be a big person to matter, and no I'm not talking about size lol. I'm taking about characters with extraordinary talents, skills, personalities, influence. Of course those characters are essential to the story, but they aren't the only ones that matter. Look at Rose, she's just a heartbroken girl doing her best, but she isn't dismissed or forgotten - she's able to help her community and give Winry a much needed break and connection. Maria Ross is a competent soldier, but she doesn't particularly stand out among the cast of giants around her - and she matters so much.

Even big characters aren't treated like they have to be big to matter. Izumi Curtis is a master combatant and a skilled alchemist, essential to Father's plan... and she's a housewife. By choice! Winry is a genius mechanic who's biggest goal in life is to help her patients stay mobile. She's not a fighter, she's not the stuff of revolutions... she's just a girl who works hard and cares about people. And she's so important just for being that.

I think the characters that show this the most concisely are the miners from Youswell. They're literally coal miners. Working folk. They grow up, they mine coal, they have kids, their kids mine coal, they die. What's the point of respecting their lives when they're all so insignificant, Yoki implies. These are our homes, and our graves, Halling says. Our lives are here, our families are here, our history is here, and it may be nothing to you but it's everything to us, he doesn't. Yoki is wrong, Ed thinks. You matter.

As a small town grocery stocker I appreciate Arakawa so much for this. You don't have to be big, to have talent or skill or charisma or influence or power or looks or exist on any sort of big scale to matter. Hell, in the end the very protagonist himself, alchemy genius extraordinaire, makes the choice to exit the big stage. You'll give up what makes you special? Truth asks. Who needs to be special? Ed shoots back, and wins, and lives his life happy being just a little guy.

Arakawa said there's just as much value in going home as there is in going big, and I think that matters.

I was doing great in PT, building strength and stamina, really optimistic. Then suddenly in July(?), could only do half what I had done the week before. Thought it was a bad day, but it was the beginning of a trend. Continued trying to find exercises I could physically do, to build stamina back, but eventually PT told me I needed answers before they could help me further.

It's been getting more difficult to use my arms, legs, and neck. It's exhausting and painful to walk, or anything which involves bearing weight, including my neck holding up my head! It's finally now where I am so weakened, I can take only several steps before I fall. I can't hold up my tablet, I can hold my phone up only briefly. I have the approximate hand coordination of a reacher grabber claw. After a few minutes upright I have to rest my head again.

I've been frantically trying to find ways to keep moving, keep exercising, keep going. Recumbent trike. Indoor mobility aids. Exercise bands I can use while lying down. As soon as I am recovered from the pain and exhaustion of the last time, get up and do something else. Go, go, GO. I am out, now, out of ideas, out of everything. I have to keep alternating which hand I use to TYPE on my tablet, resting the other after a sentence or so, taking frequent breaks. From TYPING.

If I try to walk it hurts like stinging nettles, fire, broken glass, under my skin. If I do it anyway, the feeling creeps up my legs. When I rest, it takes hours for the pain to creep back down my legs then go away.

My soonest appt with my doc (already scheduled) isn't for two more weeks. I am going down so rapidly. ER yesterday. Ruled out some things. It's not electrolytes, or vitamin/mineral deficiency, or obvious lung/heart/thoracic-or-lumbar-spine issue. I do not seem to be dying at this exact moment.

Also, probably unrelated, my liver has a crush on my right lung 😅🤣🥴🤣 (recommended followup with pulmonologist, but didn't think it was responsible for decline)

i’ve been reading through the space miner au posts and the rancher essay just sent me over the moon (haha). i MUST know more about imp and skizz when you have the time thank you <3

Unseparable since childhood, they know each other better than anyone. Both went into space mining (which is how they met Tango) very early in their life, probably as teenagers, which would make them basically veterans now, and therefore very experienced in all things mining related. After their last mine and base collapsed, leaving Impulse without an arm, they both left and settled for something different; not entirely sure what they do now, other than harboring a wanted terrorist every now and then, but its something radio and communication related. Quite a jump from their last job, but after the collapse space mining left them with less than positive feelings

(More more or less related things to explain some things below, so that it wont be a giant wall of text on the dash. Fixed because tumblr ruined formatting)

i feel like this is a good moment to mention a bit more about what space mining even is, other than being just... mining in space. there are a few different layers to space mining as a profession, depending on the ore and place (its stability, temperature and everything else needed to be taken into account with human workers); it doesnt really target asteroids (which is why i dont call it asteroid mining), only planets and moons. Despite being assumed to be a more presigious job, it really isnt, at least most of the time; Jimmys experience, for example, is very much comparable to mining on earth, and payed as such. Impulse and Skizz, on the other hand, got to do the cool sci fi idea of space mining, much more dangerous (in places that arent in any way friendly to humans that the miners cant really leave easily before the end of their work season, i guess. not sure how to call it), but also more fun, as it includes the use of mobile suits. This is how sculk is mined, as it tends to exist in places humans shouldve never been in.

(Jimmy also has a mobile suit license, as it just... comes with doing that job, but never had to use one on any of the mining sites. When i talk mobile suits think less Eva and more... chunky and grey. something like the demi series from gwitch. I wanted to include mechs because i like mechs 👍 and i think using giant robots for mining is really cool)

the idea itself is not based on any real-ish possibilities or whatever of asteroid mining; i would much rather it be read in a way youd read a space sci fi from the space race era. specifically from the side of the eastern bloc... its where the retro part of retrofuturistic comes in this au. If i had to introduce the world more, id say that space colonisation started more than century and a half ago (for the time of the au, that is) and durning space race itself. Even though the cold war has been over way before all characters were even born, there still is a clear space divide influenced by it; not all places are avilable for everyone with a spaceship, but it slowly starts opening up and mixing with itself. It very much goes into alternative history but its not the focus of the au so ill just leave it at that. Bit of a worldbuilding thing. I say all that because i find the idea of what esentially is space juma (travelling to germany from poland specifically to steal and traffic small high value items and also cars durning the 80s and 90s and still today sometimes) and all things similar stupidly fun. Thats why Tango has to hotwire his spaceship. Theres a chance im the only person who likes this kind of story atmosphere and its ok its my au. Sorry for going off topic from the ask it just kind of happened. Bless

Transformers One Consort AU (that's what I'm calling it), one of the biggest reasons why Sentinel chose to take Orion and D-16 as consorts is because cogless mines are pretty ideal for broodmares given most nobility knew of his past and would only seek to use him for his status. A cogged bot could prove challenging, given if they ever found out the truth or sought to leave him. They could easily escape and give him trouble. But cogless bots are easy to control and manage, especially from the mines. Too grateful to leave him or turn against him. Or else he throw them back to the minds. The perfect frag toys, that will take his spike and squat out some heirs and soldiers for him. Last thing he expected was his consorts, already getting fat with his sparklings, to journey out of his tower with the help of his exotic pet turned former Prime, Alpha Trion.

ohoho... well of course miners are perfect choices for Sentinel's consorts. small, defenseless, slow, too enamoured with him to dare say no, to scared of being thrown back into the lowest tier of the mines. After all, here they get as much fuel as they like, a large, warm berth and their idol adores them, so no matter what he does, they're sitll better off staying quiet and obedient...

mhmm but D16 and Orion are different. When Sentinel's odd pet starts leading them around the tower towards hallways they're not supposed to enter, they naturally get curious... they quickly realize that it's leading them out of the tower. they don't know why, but the thought that they could slip out and become something more than Sentinel's fucktoys is alluring. Well, D16 would probably urge Orion to not go out, to stay in Sentinel's berth, where they're warm and full and the only price is enduring Sentinel's huge transformer spike, but in the end, where Orion goes, he goes. One day, Sentinel comes back to his chambers and his pregnant little consorts are gone, and so is Alpha Trion... He'll immediately mobilize Airachnid. He knows Alpha Trion is up to something. and of course he leads D16 and Orion to the surface, to the Primes' resting place....

hgrhh sorry i immediately got too invested into this. but ultimately, I just need to see Orion and D16 going through the plot of the movie with little baby bumps visible on their tummies. I need to see D16 kill Sentinel while pregnant. the fucker robbed them of their entire life with his ego and his spike, he deserves it.
