Not disagreeing with the raw figures but the 40% salary increase is over four years—10% each year for four years seems a logical progression. Don’t know about the 32-hour thing, either, but if that’s after four years as well it’d be 2 fewer hours per year. Not unreasonable, honestly.

General Motors’ gross profit (not revenue, profit) for the quarter ending June 30, 2023 was $5.34b. In 2022, GM employed 167k people. If GM increased every single employee’s pay by sixteen thousand dollars a year, that would cost them less than ten percent of their profit.

People in their 50-60s hate stick shifts because they are too old to fuck with a clutch.

If they’d gone the extra mile with a chop and channel job it might be NP, but this thing shows signs of half-assing it every step of the way and at the end of the day it’s a well-kept (sort of) 35-year-old wheezebox. And those are ND at four grand, much less fourteen, as is this one.

It’s not a guarantee or a magic wand. It just improves your odds from “will almost certainly get shot” to “might not get shot”—but “being shot” is never off the table.

Also, if you have a loaded weapon in your vehicle and you are pulled over, the first thing you tell the officer is that you have a loaded weapon in your vehicle.

You Need To Change The Way You Think About Charging

It also has an amazingly long list of mechanical updates and maintenance, all undertaken within the last 500 miles. That work includes fresh tires and a new timing belt, both pretty pricey updates.

the situation in Cambodia did not meet the entry criteria threshold for crisis designation under the Crisis Policy Protocol

The spiritual predecessor to so many that followed. You could draw a straight line from this to the Midget to the Spitfire to the Miata and add so many more along the way. Plus it’s just so damned happy.

They suffocated to death? Wasn’t aware there was an outcome other than death from suffocating. Learn something new every day.

It’s still unclear how Odufuwa gained possession of the gun used in the shooting. Dallas police stated that she has been legally prohibited from owning a firearm since 2018.

6500 on the odometer and the front tires are that bald? Something isn’t adding up. Either way, the ask here is about double what’s remotely rational. ND.

Not a fan, but the color is exquisite. It’s like Mazda went for a more wine tone for their current amazing red.

I’m honestly shocked they didn’t make contact with anything.

Which is a shame, really, because the late-80s GTUs were damned pretty. Just awful mechanically.

Sounds good in theory until you look at TX registration fees, which average less than $100/year for vehicles under three tons.

Maybe in the rural areas of TX, but in the cities $400k (even $300k) doesn’t go nearly as far as it did as recently as five years ago.

When this gets to SCOTUS it’s going to be Alito all the way. There’s zero chance he would pass up the opportunity to apply his slam-poetry-style misinterpretation of 14th century writings to weave an amazing work of fiction that somehow, at the same time, becomes documented law.
