Also, we don’t want your phone.  We just want your license.  If I drop a license, I just pick it up.  The phone is a whole mess.  

Agreed.  I literally just returned a rental to Hertz for a work trip yesterday.  I got a BMW 5 series and it was great.  Hertz clearly wasn’t as well positioned as others, due to large fleet costs and other internal decisions.  But to say that this industry is doomed is laughable.  Just as laughable as to assume that…

Yup.

You can’t compare this with UberEats because Lyft doesn’t deliver food to you. It delivers you to food. That being said, I’m not going to Virginia for some app deal.

The locals made the right call. The evacuation would have been a far greater disaster, especially if you see how much water is flooding those evacuation routes. But I agree that people who would be paying for food who can’t because there’s no employees to pay shouldn’t go hungry while food rots. That seems super…

The Interim Chief actually was secure enough to take decisive action. But regardless who was in charge, no one was going to let people break windows and set limos on fire on Inauguration Day. Those folks were rioting, and not protesting. I saw thousands of protesters that day who were fine.

Here’s the big problem that people don’t seem to realize. You fly from NYC to Chicago often and the tickets are around $300 round trip. United is not going to offer a ticket at $200 flat under this new system. What was the cheapest ticket you can buy will now be the basic with the upsell to the former economy. So…

So I hear you, but back in the day, sex tapes or photos that leaked were because some dude in a Fotomat booth stole them or they were “leaked” by a publicist.

As a cop, you overestimate the amount of technology we have on a normal patrol basis

In NYPD Transit, they called this a Space Case. It happens once or twice a year. Terrible, as the person is usually totally alert. We try and get the family down to talk to him before MTA made us move the train.

Actually Dis Con is a catchall for a lot of things, but not contempt of cop. Loitering, screaming like an asshole in public, refusing to obey a traffic order (like this guy). It will get upheld. But even if it doesn’t, dude has to go in person to fight it.

See the targeted part.

I like the off gassing it does a few seconds after it lands. It’s like Wall-E going “tada!!” after it sticks the landing.

Oh they’re aware of it. But they know it as a thing that happens to “those people” in “that part of town” and they’re all “targeted” so really it’s a shame but it’s not their problem.

But does it have SCMODS?

At one point. But it lost that designation by landfall. It wasn’t even considered a Tropical Storm.

I think this is a department by department thing. DC police have body cameras and while it took time to get used to them, there haven’t been any issues. They’re checked in and out every day and are liked by cops and the public, mostly.

Actually no at-grade crossings means the railroad will need to build tunnels or overpasses for farmers wanting to cross cattle from one side to the other.

Just spitballing here, but maybe the drivers/employees/independent contractors?

What if I already have the old one? Can I just swap it out?
