My sympathy is with that 2nd flight attendant. Asking people to get off the plane has to suck. She start off nice and the guy just kept escalating it with his rant. Unless you are an idiot (and he has a masters), you have to know that she doesn’t have the power to change the decision and all you are doing is making…

I think it is more like as people get used to EVs they will realize that 200-250 miles is plenty for most peoples needs. You need things like charging in apartment complexes and street parking but those will happen when more cars are on the market.

You need to come up with uses that only the NFT license holder gets. And that requires everyone to respect those rights. If when playing some racing game I am the only one allowed to drive the porsche with some NFT paint job, maybe there is value. If anyone can upload a skin and get the same effect, the value drops to…

You don’t need to incentive the wealthy to create business value. If I can create 1 billion dollars in value, I am doing that if I am paying 0 dollars in taxes or 500 million.

So is your solution to raise the taxes on the poor or to close the tax loopholes that let guys like Musk pay absurdly low tax rates? 

I have to pay property taxes on realized gains every year. Somehow things seem to work out and most people keep on buying houses. And that is on an asset that is tough to value...

It is seems unlikely that we will stop electing Republicans or that Republicans will change their tax policy to stop passing tax laws that result in tons of people paying no taxes. Go back to the Clinton tax laws, and a lot more people are paying taxes. The funny part is hearing the Republican politicians whine about…

Yeah what does an adult get for reckless driving? In the last couple years around here, a adult got 18 months for killing 2 people. Another   guy got a year with 9 months suspended. I woud have to do some research about how closely these cases matched in terms of recklessness but we tend not to lock peope up a long…

I would argue that the same general problem of parts is going to hit all cars in 30 years. I am not worried about parts that a 3d printer can help with. But can you imagine trying to find a LCD that fits? Or the right sensor for radar module? The correct microcontroller? What happens when the cellular network the car…

It doesn’t help that anti-semitism in the black community is still pretty strong. And the fact that in general they are doing quite well economically also makes it hard for them as a group to get a lot of sympathy.

I am not sure how US law applies to casting directly, but in general asking someone their religion in relationship to a job opportunity is leaving yourself open to legal liability....

It would be discrimination for the industry not to be terrible to queer people and jews. Why would it treat them any better than every other group in it? The industry is infamous for being terrible to everyone except the couple dozen at the top....

WoT I think has the best source material for the first season or two. But those later books dragged quite a bit. To some extent the success of all these shows is how much they can control costs. They all look crazy expensive to produce. If they all need to be GoT size hits to get renewed for a second season, they are…

Where do you draw the line?If you need to take lessons to speak with a southern draw, is it ok to play the character? A huge part of acting/movie making is slightly modifying the actors to look a bit different than who they are AND them acting a big different.

Tesla math is

I am guessing it falls into the close enough range for what they are trying to do. I also would guess that this place is more or less obsolete and that computer simulations are taking over. 

The prices have dropped but it isn’t very visible because

Sure you offer a discount to the people who get an inspection and pay for those discounts by raising rates on everyone else. After all the pool of people who don’t want inspections is going to be the people with junky cars and those who are lazy.

20 year old car in the rust belt? These are all expected problems......

It is probably illegal to count hours that way. For example a restaurant can’t have servers check in and out depending on if there are customers in the store.
