In Santos defense, he claimed that he was the starting point guard for the Knicks while these alleged crimes were taking place.

Public transit is good and not a sign of class or status if you use it.

People who live around New York City often have good jobs and still take buses or trains because it’s easier and faster and cheaper than driving.

I mean, why else would he be riding the bus? 

(could also be a lot of places in Australia have perfectly fine and functional public transport, which is convenient to use and a lot cheaper than paying for parking)

Engineering is finding the right amount of performance without overbuilding. “Value engineering” is when politicians want a project they refuse to afford.

Not in many states. Where I live servers get about $3 an hour, about enough to cover the taxes on claimed tips. 

I hate this spread of tipping beyond traditional stuff like restaurants/bars/movers/etc. It’s just a way for even more companies to pass off their compensation costs on to customers.

I feel zero remorse or guilt when I press the No Tip option on digital pay systems. I will tip when I want to, I do not need a prompt/notification asking if I want to tip. If I’m given great service, I tip, plain and simple. Crappy service? Crappy Tip. Be a dick to me, no tip.

It’s apparently going to be based on the same platform as the Smart #1 (Smart being co-owned by Geely, the parent company of Volvo), which is rated for 260-270 miles:

I don’t need to drive all that much anymore, my main concern is convenience. I don’t have a charger in my complex, there’s only 2 chargers near my job and they’re both slow, and are in use alot of the time. I would have to go completely out of my way if I want to charge and find...something to do while I wait 30…

The few sovereign citizens I have met share a common trait. The unearned confidence of an imbecile.

That will teach me for skimming a gizmodo post and assuming the list of participants was the...list of participants.

The point is that maybe the cops are lying?

Welcome to capitalism - this is the way. It objectively makes almost every business worse from the customer perspective all in the name of shareholder value. 

Yes. I am an extremely powerful sorcerer 

I might be alone here but I don’t particularly care for exclusives. I’d just rather have a good platform with good games that functions. My Xbox gets more use than any of my other devices that have good exclusives save for the few weeks I’ll play a zelda or a Spider-man. I still have no intention of getting a PS5 just…

Just about no new car buyer wants hand crank windows. The ‘17 Sonic base sedan the dealership tricked my elderly parents into had been sitting on the lot forever. Manual windows are sales floor poison on the vast majority of cars.

Providing separate engineering, tooling and installation dedicated to offering both electric and crank windows was costlier than just picking one and sticking with it.
