Caveat: Even post-conscription, there are still people who get into the military out of ignorance[1]. If you're a vet who has become an anti-war activist out of disgust, you can gain my respect. But any proud or indifferent veteran post-WWII? Atrocious, as in 'atrocity'.

What a dedicated and loyal representative of the people!
I hope some of you actually skimmed the article and got to the "disengaging" part.
As Electrek points out, Autopilot has a well-documented tendency to disengage right before a crash. Regulators have previously found that the advanced driver assistance software shuts off a fraction of a second before making impact.
It's a highly questionable approach that has raised concerns over Tesla trying to evade guilt by automatically turning off any possibly incriminating driver assistance features before a crash.
Headlines are being headlines, I get it, but Fry was repeating a joke:
“I heard a very good joke yesterday,” the QI host, 67, told Stig Abell on Times Radio on Thursday.
“Someone said, ‘Musk is not a Nazi... Nazis made really good cars,’” he went on, before bursting out laughing.
The Wikipedia page on East German jokes has a few Trabant jokes.
What's the best feature of a Trabant? – There's a heater at the back to keep your hands warm when you're pushing it.
A new Trabi has been launched with two exhaust pipes – so you can use it as a wheelbarrow.
How do you double the value of a Trabant? – Fill it with gas.
The back page of the Trabant manual contains the local bus schedule.
Four men were seen carrying a Trabant. Somebody asks them why? Was it broken? They reply: "No, nothing wrong with it, we’re just in a hurry."
How do you catch a Trabi? – Place a piece of chewing gum on the road.
Which is why you told someone this hour that they shouldn't be considered human.
IMO, the worst thing about "Minetest" is that it sounded like it was just a test creation, a prototype or experiment. It's certainly well beyond that now. The announcement introduction mentions people associate it with being a Minecraft clone or alpha release, but even further, to me the name initially gave me the impression it was [still] someone's small hobby project. 'Luanti' is much better.
pls no more punchlines in the title!
Not all will be high-profile. For example, some of the hosts and guests of Eyes Left are ex-military turned anarchists, and there's the infamous " 'sup bootlickers" guy. Those aren't exactly recent either, but my point is that one can redeem themselves without being imprisoned or in some other newsworthy situation
