They were told to park outside.
Then their cars burst into flames.

An estimated 3.2 million vehicles nationwide currently have an outstanding “park outside” recall,
according to vehicle history provider Carfax,
which described the surging numbers as “concerning.”

The recalls also create new headaches for drivers, who suddenly wonder where it is safe to park their vehicles.

“Was it inconvenient? Sure.
Ludicrous? Absolutely.
It was a huge hassl…

They were told to park outside. Then their cars burst into flames.
Modern vehicles don’t need to be moving — or even turned on — to catch fire. That’s fueling lots of safety recalls and tough choices.

Donno what’s worse, the verse itself or DuckDuckGo’s generated explanation of it. @… partyon.xyz/@nando161/11692511

Understanding Ephesians 6:5 Key Instruction The verse from Ephesians 6:5 emphasizes the following points regarding the relationship between slaves and their earthly masters: • Obedience: Slaves are instructed to obey their masters. • Respect and Fear: This obedience should be accompanied by respect and a sense of reverence. • Sincerity of Heart: Service should be genuine, not merely for show or to gain favor. Spiritual Context • Serving Christ: The verse draws a parallel between serving earthly…
Moral Responsibility: The instruction implies that even in difficult circumstances, the manner of service should be honorable and sincere.

Halfway the EU gas storage filling season, the Netherlands is lagging. Our storages are only at 31% now, way behind the EU average of 53%, and other major storage countries like France (52%), Germany (45%) and Italy (71%).
Based on security of supply advice by Gasunie, Dutch government had set a target of 80% by 1 November 2026. Our EU obligation is 74%. Both would practically seem out of reach by now, which is unfortunate in view of our dependence on LNG imports in an unstable world.

Table showing the filling levels for all EU member states, with the data mentioned in the post. From agsi.gie.eu.

My mental health is falling apart again. This is both really annoying and very boring. I am unlikely to be as active on social media for a while, and, in particular, I won't be responding to private messages from people I don't know.
If I can't keep myself reasonably sane I can't help anyone.
I need to concentrate on regaining my balance and putting in place the things I need for my personal wellbeing.

America.gov,
to help Americans with everything from obtaining and renewing passports to potentially preparing and filing taxes for free.
(The latter is still under discussion and would be a reversal from the Whit…

The BBC asked a U.S. court for help in getting documents and testimony from members of Donald Trump’s family in connection with his $10-billion defamation lawsuit against the British broadcaster, a court document showed.
Lawyers for the BBC argued that Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump, Jr. have “personal knowledge” and likely have records relevant to elements of Trump’s claims against the broadcaster, according to a filing Friday in federal court in Florida.
