I blame Fonzie from the youtube plasti-dip videos every time I see shitty paint jobs like this. “If that guy can free hand it with a rattle can, so can I!”

Another issue is how complex issues are often boiled down to black and white, and thus you are either 100% for, or 100% against it. Generally, you just pick whatever “your tribe” defaults to.

My brother briefly owned a Geo Metro. He described the shifter action as “putting a raw chicken drumstick into a jar of peanut butter”. That was 21 years ago, and I still cannot shake that image.

Even if the clutch was disengaged, trying to shift into reverse at that speed would have made the most awful noises possible... at best.

I like it. But, I admit I might be broken. I like the Aztek too.

I’m so conflicted. In theory, I agree with you and believe there shouldn’t be censorship. In practice, it’s too easy to manipulate us emotional humans to gain momentum with all the tools available today.

Your mother sounds like a badass, in the best way possible. Cheers to her!

I could have been clearer with my comment, but my big take-away is that unless you worked on the product itself, it’s really hard to understand if blocking IP addresses (or domains) will have unintended consequences. Even if it’s fine today, there’s no guarantee a re-org at Samsung won’t force teams to unify some…

Unlikely. The article just seems a bit too nit picky on something that, by definition, is not hot off the line and ready for purchase.

You positive ads aren’t vended through the same domain as OTA updates, which might contain important security patches?

If your still work and not on the clock getting paid, your are literally a slave.

Sounds perfectly reasonable. Who do I give my SSN to?

Where do you stand on digital piracy?

and next time it may not be so easy to get out of the situation

When you can’t see it, it looks ok.
