“You kids do you.”

I can acknowledge the advantages I have and understand that not everyone is so fortunate. It is unfortunate that you, and so many like you, cannot. 

You seem to enjoy your job at the bootlicking factory.

The problem isn’t necessarily the drivers, per se. I’m not versed in Amazon’s pay structure for delivery drivers, but based on what I hear around the Internet, it’s either a per-package pay system, which incentivizes tearing ass between deliveries, or the drivers are allotted a certain amount of time per route based…

Yeah man, people definitely take these garbage jobs with a company that shouldn’t, because they have a plethora of better options! Just like people who drive for Lyft and Uber because the economic system works.

Symbols don’t need to be rationally derived, just consistent.

This is correct. My kids think 3.5 floppies are the weirdest thing ever. they’ll say things like “didn’t you used to have discs that were like, a big square, but they like, only held one gigabyte” with a sense of amazement that we would reserve for something like a hand-crank telephone. I literally explained to them…

“I don’t know how we’ll sustain the knowledge of what they used to look like.”

Counterpoint: the check-engine light is fucking great and we should never let go of it, even as we enter the EV age. It should be one of those amazing things that lives on long after its real-world counterpart dies.

Okay so...

This is design hubris.

I think it was less of GM being with Trump and the slack emissions rules and more of GM being against different states having different emissions requirements. 

“This has all been pretty head-spinning, as GM was very much friends with the Trump administration and its (attempted) slackened emissions rules until GM very much was not.”

“I also wonder how much of this is in anticipation of the Biden administration making GM do it anyway.”

Since she’s talking about public roads, definitely not that second thing. If you’re anywhere close to the limit on a public road you screwed up pretty bigly.

Two words:  situational awareness.  I wish more people had it.

This will probably get lost in the sauce here but I’ve used Reliable dozens of times shipping cars back/forth across the country for folks. They’re one of the best in the business next to InterCity Lines and the folks I’ve worked with from Reliable have been great. Kind of sucks to see them get this kind of press.

It’s a jeep thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Metro Detroit roads have to be the worst in all of the US. I’ve driven backroads that are smoother.

That’s not how deductibles work. You’re out the deductible, whatever that amount is, on something like a damaged wheel. Additionally, tires are usually not included with comprehensive claims. Maybe you can bill the county/state for your deductible, but that’s a pain in the ass.

I am SUPER stoked to see Simona back in an Indycar. And not just any car, but a Penske backed one.
