Right, most large mains run around 80 to 100 psi.  Still, crappy options all around.

I had to become an expert one time when I illegibly acquired a hummingbird as a pet.

The question still remains, what percentage is “many, many”? Until I see receipts, I reserve my outrage.

Smart pushback “You picked the route, Uber, you own this”.

I see your point, but GPS is broadcast over the air, and if the GPS signal caused the issue - regardless of how stupid the reason is - then it’s at least an OTA-adjacent issue, just not in the traditional sense of how we think of OTA.

I do agree he is still owed $10,000. Just because a non-contracted Party C appears to have settled his grievance, does not at all alleviate the murky contractual circumstances where Party A took his $10K, and then Party B took his car. Party C is just being a nice guy and gifting him a car, and in reality he probably…

They let a “freelance” salesman, their words not mine, work out of their office. I’d say the responsibility falls on them. Any company whose employee goes rogue on the job owns that mess, that’s the way it works, for better or for worse.

I had one years ago as a rental and it’s my go-to recommendation for people who may not really want an SUV but think they need one. Tried to get my mom into one, literally, but she was too short to even boost herself up to the mild seat height, so she got a Corolla. I do love these things though, and the (actually…

Sure there is, it’s called taxes. I lived in Virginia (Richmond) for 13 years. Outside of 3 distinct areas, the state is a full of tax-cutting ,and I would argue short-sighted, folks who are all probably bitching about this as I type, but don’t make the connection. Until very recently conservatives held a…

Dark, but plausible, I’ll allow it.

The FAA is likely going to take his license for life, so hopefully he considers that a fair trade for this brief monetization.

LOL!  The car you really want is never a bad investment ;-)

I co-op’d about 9 months in college on a large construction project. 6 days a week, like 12, 14 hour days. Paid me $550/week in 1996/97, which was more money than I had ever seen. I’d come in at 6:30 AM and be greeted with “Good afternoon!”. It was a contest to see who could stay the latest. Guy’s wives and…

I worked briefly for Kiewit in the 90's.  There was not enough money in the world to have kept me there, it was a slaughterhouse.  

That’s really taking the “Millionaire Next Door” strategy to a new level.

I think he should have cited the standard then instead of the wishy washy response.  I also cannot believe how annoyed I am by this, I need to move on ;-)

Under-starred.

But what is consistent? Do they have a published allowable pause length? How exactly is this length measured? An explanation of “more or less continuous” is not an enforceable or consistent standard by any means. I was watching this live (hey, I was waiting for Jeopardy! to start..) and thought it was a BS call.…

I mean, you go to a dealer expecting a conman for a salesman, but maybe not this level of conman.  

I have a friend who is a criminal defense attorney. He likes to say “Everybody hates us until they need us” And I have to say I find it hard to argue with that logic.  An imperfect system in many ways I guess.
