This would never work in a tipping culture like we have. You need to free up the table so it can be turned and the server can continue to make money. Otherwise you are literally stealing from someone who makes their living off tips. Don’t be obtuse.

“you’ll have to take a few extra steps here in the US.”

Or take a few extra steps to a bar next door and continue your night there.

Imagine blowing billions of dollars chasing the next big technological revolution all because some idolized attention seeking narcissist was willing to promise the world it would be here “next year” over and over and over again. When in reality he was offering essentially the same fucking driver assistance as other…

Yes, BUT if others are displaying political signs and the HOA is ignoring it, she can sue the shit out of them. HOAs can’t choose what political beliefs are acceptable.

He literally set up the Internet for battle-ravaged areas of Ukraine

You’re making the assumption that they’re making these decisions based off of data...

Prediction: Uber will virtue-signal non-stop for the next 7 years about how “green and environmentally responsible” they are, at which point they will then quietly sweep the “EV only” idea under the rug and move on to their next scheme. 

At the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, there was a very real concern that mistakes on the part of the US and NATO could lead to escalation and potentially WWIII. At the time, there was a consensus among the more experienced and competent foreign policy experts that the ideal resolution would be giving…

No-one seems to want to point the finger at the Dutch Orange Army fans. Its the Dutch Orange Army fans. I’ve been to dozens and dozens of GPs in multiple countries going back to when I was a child, and both my parents were marshalls back in the day, and there was never any kind of nastiness in my experience. Now it…

A properly maintained ICE can laugh at 15 years and keep puttering along.

When I was in college in the early 90s I took a class in commercialization of technologies. HDTV tech had been around as a capability for nearly 20 years at that point but no one could agree on a common platform, broadcast standards, and a whole bunch of other considerations. It didn’t become widespread until after…

“Realistically, we don’t even really have to solve the battery technology problem. All we really have to do is figure out how to scale the production and we have a full decade to get it done. The marketplace has done more in less time.”

Its laudable - but laughable. Not because we shouldn’t shoot for the moon, but we aren’t able to meet that target right now with current battery tech. And before people say that 2035 is a long way off...it isn’t. We have basically 5 years to figure out how to make WAY more batteries and/or figure out how to do more…

The TSA has been nothing more than security theater for their entire existence.

We aren’t going to “do” anything, that’s not what I said. Lowering inflation will result in higher unemployment.

Way to turn basic economics into a political argument.

If my ex was cheating on me the last thing I’d be concerned with is if I humiliated her with how she was served papers.  Her humiliation was probably not as bad as the humiliation he felt when he learned she was openly cheating on him on the set of Don’t Worry, Darling.  

There’s only two people who have done anything inappropriate here and one of their names is not Jason Sudeikis. Olivia Wilde isn’t thinking anything through except when she’s going to be taking her pants off next for Harry.

“He could have served me discreetly, but instead...

Well on one point, I can at least say Nikola isn’t scamware. Rough start and shitty founder who pushed his luck, but they are earnestly engineering and building trucks now. I see them all over the Phoenix area and they’re shipping working trucks to customers and they’ve been well received so far.
