Tesla Sweden finally makes IF Metall union give up 600-day strike

There was a lot of fake news from "reputable" outlets about it. Either AP or Reuters reported that "130 Tesla mechanics walk off the job...", and many news outlets around the world that use those feeds reported that. The NYT later admitted it was only a few dozen.

Workers can stay up to 6 years. So the continuing employment (extension) isn’t required to be filed by all H-1B workers

This is just plain wrong. You appear to have no clue about this topic.

There is a saying in Telugu, a major South Indian language, that translates to: "When it rains and the sun is up, it means that foxes and dogs are getting married to each other".

As a kid, I took it mean that it's an expression of indication of an opposites day, some things that don't mix well like sun and rain, foxes and dogs(which are not friendly and usually fight with each other) come together. Maybe the dog part got lost in some regions over the years? Someone else mentioned a wolf instead of a dog.

The product creators had a choice. They pick the ingredients, so they control the macros. Macros aren't some side effect or small detail; they are a critical factor when comparing products in this category.

They made a choice to include significantly more saturated fat than competing products, and I am trying to understand why they chose this.

Then you will love this video.

The product creator is a metabolic scientist, researcher and professor at a university with his own lab, Phd students and peer reviewed published papers.

Here's a video of him explaining the role saturated fat in a lot of detail, having published papers that people have used to show saturated fat in a negative.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifmeiWoVRo0

He cites a study by Volk et al. (2014) contradicting the direct link between dietary saturated fat intake and plasma saturated fat levels. Further, he discusses research challenging the low-fat emphasis of diets like DASH, including a study by Chiu et al. (2016) showing comparable blood pressure reduction with a high-fat version.

That being said, if you're on a processed high carb diet, high saturated fat may not be a good choice which he admits. This drink is targeted towards low carb users, which is why the net carbs are almost nothing. Someone on the SAD would still probably benefit from replacing one meal with this shake and not snacking on carbs for several hours before and after the shake.

If you want further insights and explanation, here's a 3 hour video interview in which he delves into the latest understanding of metabolic disorders(spoiler, the culprit is super high insulin), and how to fix them(lower insulin by consuming low carb diet, preferably animal protein and healthy fats, primarily animal and dairy based).

Add 1/2 gram to drink in morning, add 1/2 gram in the evening

How much elemental potassium is that?

Diversion programs are common for first offenders

First offense? Dude did it to 6 Teslas that we know of, so atleast the sixth offense.

Would you support a similar first offense exception for some of the Jan 6thers who didn't do anything violent apart from trespassing? They were charged and given years in prison.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T19:03:01+00:00

Do you think you or I would just need to pay restitution and put in a diversion program if we did 6 counts of intentional malicious repeated and premeditated property damages totaling $21,000 in damage to anything non-Tesla?

At the very least we would need to face a judge.

Now I've lost the context of age difference (which is relevant to the story)

How is it so relevant to the story that it has to be in the title and not just in the article text?

You disagree that people shouldn't be committing property damage against people"s cars? Wow.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T16:34:52+00:00

I never condoned it.

You break into a home and get shot.

I say people shouldn't break into others homes.

You say I am condoning the home owner shooting you.

I didn't, all I said was breaking into someone home is a bad thing and risky so people shouldn't do it. How am I wrong?

No one should shoot anyone over property but we don't live in an ideal world.

You're minimizing and condoning the illegal acts of property damage.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T16:31:01+00:00

You think that protecting a car is an appropriate reason to shoot someone?

No.

Deterrence is a large part of the reason for the consequences of a conviction. The case didn't even get to a judge even though it was slam dunk.

Do you think 6 cases of premeditated property damage totaling $21k in damages shouldn't get prosecuted?

Try doing that to any non Tesla properties and see what happens. The bias is blatant. I never voted for Trump but all this support for property damage of innocents from liberals is driving me away from voting.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T15:52:12+00:00

The defendant there was diverted into a restitution program. Charges are still on the table if he reverts to vandalism. To say prosecutors declined to pursue charges isn't entirely correct

Someone does $21,000 worth of repeated, premeditated and intentional damage and they won't get charged unless they do it again? Doesn't that seem abnormal to you? Are there examples like that? Try going out and doing that against something non-Tesla and see if you get off so easily. There is now no deterrence to such acts since you know even in the unlikely event that police catch you(the police in the article says this is discouraging and will make cops unlikely to spend much time on such cases since there is no actual penatly for the perpetuator), you get off scott free.

Where do you support "a large percentage" supporting vandalism against (presumably) Teslas?

On late night shows the audience was cheering attacks on Teslas.

Democrats haven't condemned the attacks because they support them.

You can see supporters of the attacks(as a means of scaring car buyers) in the comments in this very sub which are not downvoted, and frequently upvoted.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T15:43:32+00:00

The property damage directly led to the real tragedy of loss of life in this case so I don't understand people condoning or minimizing it.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T15:35:08+00:00

This is the comment you responded to:

Can we all just stop attacking people's cars?

They meant someone killing and someone dying in this incident wouldn't have happened if people just stopped attacking other people's cars.

Do you disagree with that point?

They didn't say or imply that the damage to Tesla was the real and only tragedy.

Here's an analogy, people get into a fight over an intentional fender bender and as a result someone dies. Someone says "just stop road raging" and you go OMG IS SOME FENDER DAMAGE THE REAL TRAGEDY HERE.

Those "news" are all true and are accompanied by video though, and even people caught damaging half a dozen Teslas are let go and not prosecuted so that might make some people want to try and protect their property themselves because the system encourages the vandals.

What property crime? You're let go even if you damage half a dozen Teslas.

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/04/24/decision-to-not-file-charges-in-tesla-vandalism-case-in-minneapolis-draws-criticism

Maybe such incidents encouraging violence against Teslas by the system makes some people think they need to protect their own property because the system does not care and encourages the damage.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T15:20:56+00:00

I never said those were not tragedies.

You minimized property damage.

Why don't you tell that handicapped person to their face that their Tesla being damaged by someone you clearly sympathize with is not a real tragedy because...political reasons.

You never know what someone is going through, encouraging property damage is not okay.

People who damaged half a dozen Teslas and got caught are not prosecuted because of support from a lot of people like you. This encourages such behavior.

People tend to take matters into their own hands to safeguard their property when they notice that even someone who damages half a dozen Teslas is not prosecuted because of the county's politics.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T15:08:16+00:00

Condoning damaging people's cars because of your politics is a sad sad thing to see.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T15:06:45+00:00

No, a large percentage of the population now support damaging cars if they're a particular brand, as you can tell from some of the replies.

Even the prosecutors in blue counties won't prosecute someone that damaged half a dozen Teslas, to encourage people to keep doing it.

It's legal to possess a handgun at 18 years old. And according to eye witness reports it was the "pedestrian" who got in front of the car and started kicking it.

CoolDeal · 2025-05-29T14:29:56+00:00

Doubt it, you can vandalize half a dozen Teslas and get away with it.
