That’s nothing. There’s a great documentary starring Nicholas Cage about a crew that stole 50 cars in a single night. 

How much does it costs to hire an overnight security guard? I’d guess less than that truck they’re wheeling out the door. 

Very much mid-grade without many options. I love looking this stuff up.

I don’t think the target demographic for this car is someone who wants to drive it. This is a museum piece.

It’s exactly $2300 fun. Put a few miles on it and it’s $500 fun.

Huge no to the price. The problem with cars like this is that if they are not driven, lots of seals will dry out or dry rot. Same thing happens with parts that sit unsold on shelves for years, from belts to long blocks. 

Companies that rent time-period specific cars for TV and Film buy a lot of these weird old finds.

Ford Escort Wagon and collector car is not something I thought would be in the same sentence.

I should have said Austintown OH after 10p. No food in the town. Arbys closes, McDonalds cant handle two customers and Sheetz cant put two pieces of bread on a chicken sandwich. The hotels are great though.

As someone who frequently travels between Chicago and Michigan, I am going to second the NW Indiana comment. Terrible stretches of interstate clogged with trucks and perpetually under construction, and if you aren’t stuck in a 10 mile traffic backup you’ve got to deal with people driving 90+ in clapped out Altimas and…

WILL YOU BE USING THE MOBILE APP TODAY?

Not to sound like a boomer (I dont think im that old yet), but really dislike how AI is being integrated into everything.

I work in pizza delivery, and the vast majority of our orders come in online now. You would think people would check various things before they click their order button, but they manage to screw up nearly every aspect of their order, and then get upset when it’s wrong, or when they fail to provide the correct address…

Why would someone say “no caramel” when ordering a sundae instead of just saying “hot fudge sundae” or “strawberry sundae” or “soft serve with peanuts”?

If we’re not there yet, then don’t implement these things into products. Simple as that. Stop using consumers as beta testers for half-baked products.

Yea 85% isn’t great but if humans have like 75% accuracy on drivethrough orders, then 85% is a 13% improvement. Still, the order is on the display so if you drive forward and its still not right, then its on you. But as the video clip showed with the McDonalds drivethru, sometimes the machine just isn’t getting it.…

15% wrong is 3 in 20, not 1 in 30.  However, McD’s with human order takers has had a worse rate for me in the past year - primarily centered around Bacon Quarter Pounders, which I have yet to receive bacon on.  So I stopped ordering them.

85% order accuracy is pretty damn awful. Would you fly an airline that has a screw up on 85% of its flights? Would you go to a doctor that messes up that often? Would you do business with any company that drops the ball once in every 30 transactions?

It’s almost like all of this AI is not actually able to do the things they claim it can, and may never actually be able to, and shouldn’t actually be replacing people in any capacity until it can actually do the things the hype claims it can.
