        ACs, planes, CNCs, and solar and wind energy, too.

        But like many Japanese corporations, they are legally distinct but interlocked companies, see Keiretsu.

        They fucked up San onofre so bad it’s now being decommissioned 😡

        https://newsroom.edison.com/stories/sce-formally-serves-mitsubishi-with-notice-of-dispute

        It was a $680mill job, and SoCal Edison (SCE) had such an inept legal team, they missed a term in the contract with Mitsubishi which limited payout for failure within the 20yr warranty to $125mill.

        Can you fucking believe that shit? I only found this out after investigating why there was a $3 “decommissioning fee” on my first electric bill after moving to California.

      They sold the rights to make the magic wand about a decade ago. No longer Hitachi, alas.

        Because Hitachi was embarrassed about their innocent personal massager being used for such unwholesome activities. Literal PR move.

                  Violent? That would be a choice. Maybe I’ll try it sometime. Anyway, it feels amazing.
