Hit-and-run is a Prelude to have your ass Beat.

The van driver should have pulled over on his own Accord. Now he’ll going to get a Civic lesson on hit and runs. Hopefully the punishment Fits the crime and he goes on an Odyssey to his local penitentiary.

WFH is slowly going to get phased out. Having been a team lead in an engineering role you simply can’t count on all people being productive enough and producing quality enough work from home. I had a couple rockstars on the team that absolutely could but a big part of the team was either too junior or too complacent…

WFH is awesome for many jobs, yet, it will eventually turn the extroverts among us into raving unshowered lunatics who get overly excited when the FedEx guy shows up. with a new phone charger.

Last sentence is super accurate. I don’t think I’ve had a coworker or boss call me when I haven’t been on the can. I’ll go 3 hours without having a single call and field eight in a row while riding the brown express. My coworkers must think I have some sort of medical condition.

“You’ll have more students- less money; sounds like a great idea.”

texas might but austin doesnt. and its not defunding anything. they get a 5 year break on paying taxes on the buildings like damn near all new businesses do. theyre still paying the tax on the land just not the improvements. you should really know what youre talking about before you open your yap.

This incentive package avoids two pitfalls mentioned in the Bloomberg article talking about incentives that are wasteful:

I hate to break it to ya but trying to justify any BMW as a value proposition is just stupid. Yes we know you can get a Mustang for less and blah blah and yes I remember when an M3 was$44k and when a gallon of gas cost 0.99. So what’s your point? Things go up in price and a BMW will always carry a premium price, you…

You must like French cars.

I agree - last one I drove was with the 10 speed I was shocked how good that transmission was and I have always preferred a manual. As I get older and lazier, if I was in the market for a Mustang right now I’d have a hard time not getting the 10 speed, plus its more than likely much faster than I am at shifting myself…

Douglas Adams also pointed out that light travels so fast, it takes most civilizations thousands of years to realize that it travels at all. And yet, compared to the vastness of space...

My Model 3 as spec’d was $51K (that’s before the recent discounts), the same Model Y will be $54K. The cost increase for the Y is marginal, and justified given the improvements over the 3.

The North remembers

i was working retail in a bike-shop (this is almost 10 years ago now) my frist job, sales. this guy would come in who i knew was worth approx $1.5 billion (owned a lot of local businesses in the SF bay area). I sold him a handful of bikes over the course of a couple years. he would never go for the upsell - i was…

Just to clarify the word partner was not meant as a homophobic dig. It was more to make fun of the straight people who make a biiiiiiig deal out of saying partner instead of husband because they think it makes them the most woke person in the world and now they have 100% done their part. Again, to be clear making fun…

I live and breathe camper vans, and have a van life consultancy side hustle. Given your specific requirements (the key one is that you’ll be full-timing and probably boondocking quite a bit) here is an exhaustive (as far as my brain goes) list of rational options to consider. While the suggestions above are…

At work I have a Chevy pickup, essentially the same vehicle with no rear seats, with the same drivetrain - 160hp, not that I ever need even that much - and its fuel economy is best measured in furlongs per firkin, because miles per gallon is just a little too ambitious.

It’s parts for a rat-thing being shipped to a Mr. Lee’s Greater Hong Kong!

If you want more five-dollar technical words for this phenomenon: flow detachment causes a rear vacuum, and the effect is massive for a brick-shaped truck at highway speeds. The activity in the picture below is also happening, mirrored upside-down, off the underbody of the truck, creating a nice scoop-type air current…
