At least your honest about your personal situation, on the internet :)

Sounds like she and her family might benefit from an “exit stage left”. Maybe she should spend a little less time chasing people’s rights to be trans or one-upping MTG’s bat-shit-crazy and a little more time on making sure her kids aren’t screwed up.

An engineer friend was offered a job at the Boring Company. The experience he relayed to me was this: they strung him along for round after round of interviews including a flyback to meet with the head honchos. The job would have required relocation to a higher cost of living area. They kept being evasive on salary…

As a web developer, that’s just lazy programming on the part of whoever developed this. The handoff between the payment processor and the auction site should have been handled entirely in the backend, and not some client-side process or token that a user could manipulate.

I guess institutional memory at GM is short, because they went with “This isn’t your father’s Oldsmobile,” right about the time that Olds’s sales started to sharply decline.

This is what I thought of. I get the idea behind the ads, but I feel like slamming your old models isn’t a great idea. There were people that liked those!

Chevy takes this one with it’s “Real people. Not actors” crap

To me it’s the on-stage launches for boring cars, where you have a team of live dancers trying their best to make a Chevy Cavalier exciting. Meanwhile the Cavalier is looking around like, “uhh, wtf is all this? I was promised a chill day inside on a turntable.”

This AD requires repetitive inspections and audible tap tests

also now we are blaming Boeing for maggots and an engine fire? way to go Jalopnik!

nice click bait headline, the wing didn’t disintegrate, a part of the slat did. they were never in any serious danger.

Elon Musk’s social media hellscape that is X (I hate that)

This is just sad and more than a little pathetic. Another poster made a similar comparison already, but it’s like trying to exchange beets for the corned beef in a ruben.

The gearhead version of vegans trying to mix up concoctions that taste like meat.

Notice what a bunch of whiners that Air Canada turned into—they want to have it both ways. If the chatbot works as it should, then fine. But if the chatbot fails due to Air Canada’s slovenliness over not vetting how well the chatbot guides customers’ requests, then the whiners think they should be off the hook—really?…

This just crossed my timeline (courtesy @oregonrolleda20.bsky.social):

I’m a bit confused: did Ryanair mistake him for a different unruly passenger, hence the incorrect letter? Was the unruly-ness alleged on the outgoing flight (and not the return) a flight he was certainly on.....because it could not have been for the one he missed, as his name would not have made it to the manifest.…

Yeah I mean they are all getting up there in age, and I am ok with them each doing their own things. May’s Our man in... was fun, I really liked Clarksons Farm as he is at his best IMO when he has no idea what he is doing. And Hammond has his own thing going on restoring car’s I think.

I think once they stopped trying to be Top Gear, i.e. the studio version that first premiered on Prime, and instead went with just a big special it was better. Not great but better.

I would think that groups referring to themselves as “God’s Army” are usually pretty bad news.
