No Dice, but it does give me an idea for a restaurant that serves discarded food found in local dumpsters.

I used to go to car shows but then I realized that car shows are like strip clubs. You spend a bunch of time, energy and money just looking. My time is better spent enjoying who/what I have.

Yet another reason to vote ND

By my figuring, $17,500 is about 115 nights at a Hampton Inn, after which you’d still have your wife, the respect of your neighbors, and your sanity. ND.

Santorini residents should be issued hunting permits, allowing each adult to harvest up to 3 cruise ship passengers annually. 

Cruise ship tourists suck ass. They don’t stay in hotels, they don’t eat in restaurants, and they buy a few meagre trinkets. In exchange they take up space, treat locals like garbage, and act like decidedly-entitled pricks. Cruise ship tourists contribute very little to local economies.

One the one hand, you have a politician with actual policy ideas.

I love cars and internal combustion engines. Unfortunately, the ICE is literally killing us and we need governmental action to help build suitable replacements and supporting infrastructure.

OK, clarification: Donald Trump has no policies or policy ideas. He has vague ideas, mostly bad ones. Like maybe we could expose our guts to the sun to kill covid. He is however surrounded by really dangerous people who have policies, and those people know they can get him to sign off on anything if they just suck up…

Tesla (the corporation) is also in the midst of a long-term ‘critical steering error’.

I had one just like this (there was a Jalopnik article about it when I sold it on BaT, too lazy to look it up) not as nice, but same delightful orange. I always wanted one, these are cool, to my eye they look like a mini Italian exotic from the same era.

There was a guy who owned an apartment building that had all the apartments, except the one he lived in, wired up with cameras. There was a fire, and the FD found out what was going on, and when he realized they were looking for him, he killed himself. Sounds like this might be similar.

This seems plausible

Either that, or they used it to blackmail/extort someone, who then killed themself

That was the station my logic train arrived at as well.

He was apparently a real estate attorney, so he likely made his career out of pushing transactional paperwork.

Upstate New York + Studded snow tires = Get a good look under the car before you buy.

This goes back to my theory on how this happened: there was a wink-wink agreement for Spirit to not fasten down (or even install) those bolts, knowing Boeing would have to remove that door anyways to do interior work. Less unfastening = easier for Boeing. But this informal agreement almost certainly goes against all…

The majority of their pay is through stock options because, at least in the US, capital gains are taxed at a lower percentage than labor income, especially at their level. It also gives them the ability to borrow against that wealth and live off the debt without actually bringing in any taxable income. I know a big…

The problem, of course, is that these options are generally structured to pay out immense sums no matter what the company performance is like.

I get options at work as part of my compensation.  They’re literally worthless if the stock doesn’t climb in value.  If our stock performed like GM or Ford, I’d get nothing out…
