While I wish public opinion was always based on empirical fact, it’s not. Additionally, it doesn’t matter if the rallying cry comes from a bunch of “dweebs”, the end result could be the same.

Well, there’s nothing that incentivizes people to continue to spend money or lose access. They have some sort of re-occuring payment patreon’esque program that gives people access to certain things early, privileges like submitting questions about stuff that actually get answered, stuff like that but it’s not required.

Context is key. It wasn’t the violence, it was the context that violence was presented in. To say that doesn’t matter is foolish.

In the 1700s in Europe renting a pineapple for display at your social event was a thing to demonstrate your taste and wealth.

Until technology evolves for it to be cheap enough to tag each box with a GPS tracker, your package’s fate is in the hands of a person who may be cool and chill or completely overworked and doing everything they can to stay ahead of the unrealistic performance metrics governing their continued employment.

When a retailer has a “no tips” policy it’s primarily for image purposes. They don’t want employees accepting tips because then it might seem like going that “extra mile” isn’t “instilled” via a “pro customer service attitude” of their employees but instead motivated by the extra money, which can set an expectation on…

It probably also helped people stay awake.

It has something to do with the way certain versions of adblock plugins/extensions interact with the site.

As someone who has never ridden a motorcycle at all, what’s the advantage of racing a sidecar bike vs a normal one? Or is it done simply because it’s a different skillset that someone decided was worth mastering?

Nobody was being held under duress or against their will. While there’s lots of very valid complaints in this article, this one was just everyday job BS.

Me too. I’ve toyed with trying to get a version off of ebay, but haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet.

It would be nice if one of these articles either found or did some research on the per capita rates of crashes due to distracted driving in Tesla’s vs other cars.

A few people who’ve bought them and commented on here when they’ve been featured before have said they have a hard time doing certain motions because of the way the grips are.

Well obviously. If they wanted to, they could just stop being poor! How hard is it? Must just be lazy and looking to live on the dole!

The real issue is aftercare. Unlike a traditional wreck, you can’t just haul a wrecked EV off to the impound or salvage yard where it can sit for however long.

They ran their article on this subject yesterday apparently. It did not have a typo in the headline.

No, there was a whole thing on it on one of the other gizmodo sites yesterday which I bothered reading, but until then I had no idea either.

Because maybe a company like Uber gets an autonomous system that’s 99% of the way to level whatever. They roll out a fleet of non-traditional cars, basically aero boxes on wheels with maximum seating and comfort, etc. No wheel, no pedals, but with a backup remote pilot option.

I’m pretty sure most rental companies top tier damage waiver coverage usually covers everything and anything no matter the source, as long as you weren’t “using the car in an unintended manner” or some such.

I used a service that uses a similar model at this one last year. One that ships them directly from “the farm” to the consumer. I don’t know if ProFlowers is the same exactly, but those flowers had to be trimmed and dressed extensively before being put into a vase and then took a day or two to actually rehydrate and…
