You just tried justifying murder be allowed in the case of jaywalking.

Mahk from Zebra Corner should have something to say about this.

At least the Boston licensing board is meeting to figure out what to do about the North End restaurants ignoring anything like the protocols for reopening. Sure they put tables outside, but they were on top of each other. Now that indoor dining is opening up they’re just going to keep piling people in on top of each…

Oh wow. That’s impressive. In Boston I haven’t heard of or seen a single citation issued. Probably doesn’t help that the groups of police I see are often not wearing masks either (even though we needed a fucking grand parade funeral when one died of COVID19).

Do you have a source on those fines?  I have not seen a single article, social media post, or anything about someone getting a fine.  I expect that if anyone ever audits them to see how many were handed out it will be somewhere between zero and five.

Has anyone actually been fined?  My state has a $300 fine still in place I believe.  So far I have read of only one case of a police officer even asking someone to put their mask on.  I live in a city where the “I just social distance” BS excuse doesn’t fly.  We’ve gotten our numbers down really well and I feel like…

My employer has been entirely too inconsistent with this.  My state has been clear, but the leaders here are all in another state.  So they say things like, “just social distance a little (in an office) and everything is fine.  No, it isn’t fine for people to be creating clouds of droplets everyone else gets to walk…

They may be struggling with being remote.  Many people, especially older ones who didn’t grow up communicating largely through screens, are really struggling with it.  For some of us, it made things easier because more people are more responsive when you reach out via email/skype/teams/zoom/whatever because they…

I’ve had to come in a handful of times to support manufacturing stuff, but otherwise have worked fine from home. Executives cited some old research about physical distance and # of communications as a reason we need to get back to the office though. I don’t talk to people at work face to face normally anyway because…

I work at a manufacturing plant, but mostly in development. I was working fine from home, but they want us in the office because of some research that was done decades ago saying that being in the office is key for productivity. Except that they split us up so only half are in the office at a time, and less than that…

I’ve driven one of those and I can’t remember if it was the Hertz Versa or the Yaris that didn’t even have cruise control.

This is a big part of why I just went to Carmax.  They gave me way more than a dealer would have given me and it was super easy and painless.  Got estimate, thought about it for a week, brought car back, got check.  I’ve had more complicated interactions over much less money.  

More of a cute novelty than a huge step.

Do Not: Bother with the weird little ketchup packet of terminal goo they try to sell you at the auto-part store for a few extra bucks. IDK what it is even supposed to do, but the terminals on the battery I’m replacing are clean without that crap and I’m not in the business of getting overly friendly with car battery…

And they have ads for them on this site every other post or so!

Rich CEO pays mercenaries to smuggle him out of a country because he doesn’t want to follow the laws of that country.

Sounds like Hyundai stepped in and tried to do the right thing.  That’s more than I’d expect from Subaru of New England.

Getting three people to the moon and back is a little different than hurling some stuff into low orbits.

90s Mercedes that has been exposed to Phoenix heat.  The seat foam had collapsed.  They were torture even on short drives.
