Dick Van Dyke crashes car in Malibu, suffers minor injuries: Report

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:09:00 GMT

Dick Van Dyke was involved in a solo car crash this morning in Malibu, reports TMZ. The actor's vehicle apparently slid and he lost control before it crashed into a gate, police sources told the entertainment website. Arriving officers found Van Dyke behind the wheel of his 2018 Lexus LS 500. The 97-year-old reportedly suffered from minor injuries like "bleeding from the nose and mouth" and he may "have suffered a concussion."He reportedly did not want to go to the hospital and had a friend pick him up. While there's no confirmation that rain played a factor, it's no secret that roadways have been slick due to the massive amounts of rainfall that have hit the region over the past two days. Drugs and alcohol were not a factor, but police have submitted paperwork to the DMV to request the "Mary Poppins" star retake his driving test, according to the outlet.The accident comes a decade after the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" actor's car caught fire on a Los Angeles freeway.

You Can’t Fool CHYL

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:09:00 GMT

You Can’t Fool CHYL: Chinese-Canadian speed house prodigy CHYL got her start in the biz when she took a few DJ classes while studying finance at college in New York.“I absolutely fell in love with it,” she says. “It became my way of escape after a long, stressful day at work. I would work all day during the week, and DJ at a local gig during the weekend. The only thing that kept me from being depressed during that time was electronic music. Eventually, after two years in banking, I decided to quit finance and pursue my passion for electronic music. I became super interested in production and wanted to learn more. Originally I was learning on Youtube. I felt that wasn’t enough, so I went to attend ICON Collective, where I learnt so much about sound design, mixing and mastering, and song writing. Now I am so lucky to be able to pursue producing and DJing full time! Given how different my life was a few years ago, I will never take this career for granted.”...

‘Explosively developed’: Showers linger into Wednesday following Bay Area’s ‘once in every 10 year’ weather event

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:09:00 GMT

National Weather Service meteorologist Warren Blier struggled to find the words as he sat down to write the agency’s Area Forecast Discussion early Wednesday morning. Even the mightiest and most informationally equipped weather experts had the same reaction as the millions around the Bay Area could muster during the destructive, deadly and ultimately rare “bomb cyclone” that touched down in the region Tuesday afternoon.“Wow,” Blier wrote in the bulletin post published at 3 a.m. “Even by the standards of what has turned out to be one of our most extraordinary winter seasons in a very long time, yesterday (Tuesday) stands out.”While it rained throughout the Bay Area for most of Tuesday, it was the explosive and violent wind which tore down trees, toppled big rig trucks and rocked the waters with gusts upwards of 81 miles per hour, according to the NWS.“I’m a scientist. I tend to not be a fan of flamboyant adjectives,” Blier t...

Missed the “Diablo IV” beta? You have a second chance to check it out

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:09:00 GMT

“Diablo IV” held the first of two betas last week, and Blizzard’s dungeon crawler was fantastic. It has the same addictive gameplay loop as players fought hordes of worgs, skeletons and other baddies earning loot and experience points on the way.The latest entry doesn’t change a blockbuster formula, but rather, it refines and updates it. From the few hours I played as the Rogue, the world of Sanctuary seems richer, darker and more alive with elements found in massively multiplayer online games. After a brief prologue that shows players that they really can’t trust anybody, they’re thrown into an expansive world that’s filled with danger and other players.They’ll find that it’s so large that players will need mounts later in the campaign, but for now, the demo limits players to a few quests around town of Kyovashad and the region called the Fractured Planes. It also caps the level at 25. That gives the curious an opportunity to te...

You can keep car plugged in and idle at Tesla charging station, but it’ll cost you: Roadshow

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:09:00 GMT

Q: I’m probably the squillionth person to tell you that Tesla chargers have a limit … .Tesla assesses idle fees if a car is charged and left at a busy location. The idle fee is $.50/minute if the site is at 50 percent capacity or more, and $1/minute if the site is fully occupied … . By default, the station limits charging to 80 percent to speed up sessions. Most Teslas charge to 80 percent in 15-25 minutes. Not many people would sit around without charging. That is considered poor etiquette (and costly) … . There have been instances of rude Tesla drivers unplugging when charged without moving their car, and sometimes charger “vigilantes” plugged the car back in to teach the charger miscreant an idle-fee lesson.Jacqueline Mardell, Susan Hunts, Rod Whitten, Doug and Imi Blatz, Alan Arndt, Steve CrawfordA: I heard from many Tesla owners about what’s involved in charging their vehicles.Q: I have been reading your column for probably as long as y...
