Unless you set it next to one. Then it’s very close.

Businesses pay into a general fund for unemployment benefits. Same everywhere in the world.

You also can’t just “stay on unemployment”, at least in the US. You have to actively prove you are looking for work or they take away your benefits.

The benefit France is providing is *up to 2 years* of unemployment, not a…

alcohol based hand sanitizer doesn’t create resistance in bacteria

I am totally interested in the answer to this and I would love to read about it. Do I want to watch a video about it? Absolutely not. In fact, I dont want to watch nearly any videos on this site. I barely watch videos on Youtube. Quit trying to make me watch them here and let me read.

I don’t get why logos are “due for updates” anyway. Unless there’s a fundamental shift in the business that muddles the logo’s message or they used some very period-specific styling in the first place, there’s no need to change something that currently works. It only makes sense when there’s a functional issue to be…

Price is off by 10k. I found a 2017 model with less miles for 77k

Pretty sure F1 has always been this way.

Of course they didn’t need to be done. Injector cleaning is BS, especially on a car with 68k miles. Throttle body cleaning? Again, maybe at 140k miles if it’s gummed up enough to stick, but you’d notice that while driving. No CEL means no work on the engine. No way the state cares about brake fluid (which is good for…

You won’t fail a NY safety inspection due to any of the above unless there was a misfire causing an emissions CEL. This dealer sounds shady.

I have said it before and I will say it again:

The serpentine belt had a crack in it and needed replacing - Possibly legit, but this is a $20, 10-minute change in a parts store parking lot.

At least in my area, ALL car dealerships are about equally priced for labor. The Toyota dealership where my mother bought her Pius-V is $5/hr more than BMW. The local VW/Audi/Porsche dealer does manage to do $10/hr higher for each step up the ladder, but Audi is the same as BMW and thus cheaper than Toyota. My VW…

To make the service plans more appealing, they are jacking the list prices of all their services. My BMW dealer would charge $150 to change the cabin filter - that takes ~5 minutes in my 3-series if you have to find a screwdriver... Their list of prices for this sort of stuff is horrifying. The filter is $20 even from…

If he offers a $40k incentive, that means the effective payment becomes $1818 / month. DB11 leases for 36 months seem to be about $2k. Maybe he offers $45k, in which case his effective payment is $1,633. That’s a pretty good deal for whoever takes the lease, and our guy also comes out ahead.

Taking your example, if you have a first class with 16 seats and only 75% of those sold for any given flight ($6,000), you are still $2,000 short. If you offer a coach class ticket an upgrade option at 50% of the cost of the first class ticket

Yep. Every once in a while one of those good old days “golden era of air travel” photos pops up on here and everyone immediately gets wistful about said good old days. And every time I feel obligated to point out that the people in those photos (or at least the characters they were portraying if it was a movie or a PR…

But where would she carry her cargo* in one of those?

Canadian signer Jacques Villeneuve won the indy 500 and the F1 WDC back in the 90's

Well clearly someone at Maserati never got that memo because they equipped a ton of them with stupid sequential manual transmissions, which is probably the worst choice for a true GT car. Furthermore, they went on and made the following racing/racing inspired versions: MC, MC Stradale, and Stradale. It’s clear that…

So what’s to bad about it? Unreliable? How so?
