I don’t think a slight whiff of hypocrisy is a problem for them if it means even more money.

So he does or doesn’t want kids to have to be in car seats? I’m confused. Also, I hardly think that a car seat is even in the top 10 cost items people really think about when it comes to having kids.

“The dealership denied liability, arguing Fox was a trespasser”

Not the first guy to go to a dealership and end up in the hole.

In my profession , any hole over 6" deep needs flagging, over 18" needs a taped perimeter, and over 36" needs a fixed barricade. Excavations over 4' have stepping requirements to prevent/mitigate cave-ins.

My torts professors would always try to rope in current events has part of hypos. Fit in with the course theme that once you graduated, you’d be like Hailey Joel Osmet in the Sixth Sense and see torts everywhere. 

Torts professors everywhere are elated at this perfect new final exam question.

Not too long ago I could picture this article being written by Torch, only it would have been lighthearted, upbeat, funny, appreciative of the quirky nexus of multimodal transportation this represents. Instead, we get dystopian negativity and hatred for anyone who could possibly afford something more expensive than…

Nissan’s dealers are killing the company. I had a 2004 Xterra which was a great, bare-bones vehicle. Owned some other cars in between, and in 2018 put Nissan on the list of cars to look at with my wife. The dealers we visited were so smarmy that my wife was categorically turned off by them. (I didn’t love the vehicle o…

Absolutely. Some of the lobotomies weren’t recent.

102k for that delivery experience is absolutely hilarious. Do they have anybody that works there that has not had a recent lobotomy? 

You’re confused as to the target of your rage. YOUR EMPLOYER determined the appropriate amount of days and you seem to be upset someone uses those very days.

If you think people are abusing the sick days that they have legitimately earned, you’re a toxic AF manager and I’m super happy I don’t work for you.

Even just doing a basic meta analysis of existing studies takes time and effort and thoroughly comparing multiple sources and looking to see if any have been verified by replication. If someone doesn’t have a degree with an “S” in it I question their level of understanding of the statistics and the process of planning…

That happened to my family too. Multiple nurses in the family, including my wife who had her floor become a COVID overflow unit. One relative went on some rant about how nurses are quitting because of the vaccine mandate and other anti-vax stuff and my wife nearly broke down crying trying to explain to them that…

“While EVs emit no tailpipe emissions, producing them is hard on the environment and they continue to require electricity to operate.”  Those cover production and operation, end of life (EOL) is another issue.  The batteries have to go somewhere at the end of the EV’s life cycle.  An ICE vehicle is made of mostly…

These are the kind of stops cops should be making and charging people for, not “5 over in a 55.” I also think that any money collected for traffic stops should go into traffic safety programs, not law enforcement budgets. Make people pay for their own driver’s (re)education.

In most states, a dealership has to maintain a surety bond in order to get their license. I’ve never seen it be less than $25,000. It’s meant to pay out in the event that they do something that violates state dealer regulations. Assuming they did, perhaps she can find out who held their surety bond (it should be on…

The lack of pressurization means the pressure *inside* the ear is much higher than outside. The pressure imbalance is going the other way. 

It’s incredible to me that a guy with basically infinite money who could be doing almost literally -anything- chooses to spend a good chunk of his time being a pick-me edgelord on Twitter.
