definitely not skookum as frig.

This is her version of “do you know who I am?”

Hi! Adjunct professor here. I make $75 hourly since I’m near the top of the range. I am permitted only 6 hours teaching weekly and 1 hour advising students. I cannot accept more hours, but often I will be offered less.

I am not paid at all for grading papers, attending required training, or meeting with students…

Universities have been steadily increasing the number of classes taught by “part-time” adjunct instructors instead of hiring more tenure-track professors for decades. Yet in that time, tuition has gone up dramatically.

Or, as a counterpoint, companies are too concerned with profit margins and not concerned enough with the spirit of those regulations, preserving and minimizing the damage to our planet.

Generally if you see someone supporting a racist fuckwit who is bad for literally the entire planet, its a good thing to call them out and make a big deal out of it.

For us $120 per month is ABSURDLY EXPENSIVE. My compliments for being richer than me. I pay €350 PER YEAR for a FULL civil responsibility coverage up to a maximum of €6.1MIL, in case of death or permanent disability. And I have crystals, towing and complimentary car coverage in case of accident, but no money if I…

What’s interesting about the Chobani example is that Hamdi gave his employees shares of the company. If only more owners were willing to share in the profits, but that is often perceived as socialist (thus bad).

My personal opinion, considering how much better the quality of life is in the countries that are more socialist than the US, and how much better they are in measures related to health, education and happiness, the US can greatly improve without sacrificing anything except social inequality.

dont know about the diesel engine for mounting a trans. The trick is to cross reference euro cars for trans options then find the equivalent in the states.

Right. Though for the life of me I can’t figure out why you’d go through all of this heartache instead of just buying a Golf R for 4K off sticker.

Neutral: What’s Your Trust In Diesels Been Like Over The Last Few Years?

....Blackwater doesn’t exist.

Folks: If the sentiment “Black Lives Matter” gives you pause -if you think for some reason that those three words, in that order, are problematic -then you don’t get to call yourself a liberal anymore. I don’t care where you stand on any other issue, you need to go sit with the Trumpicans and KKK members (but I repeat…

Then the owner chipped it. A stock TDI barely emits any smoke.

VAG not only cheated on emissions, but also on a federal(?) programme to clean up emissions. Then proceeded to re-act in the worst possible ways towards everybody. They just lost any credibility. Small wonder Diesel is now a lost cause.

Diesel vehicles accounted for 25 percent of VW’s sales prior to the Dieselgate revelations.

I’m sure that every claims agent at Geico erupted in cheers, while every agent at MetLife screamed “Nooooo!”.

Yes, the issue is in a never ending quest for cost cutting, it’s easier to cheat the emissions than it is to develop the tech.

People love to complain about participation ribbons, and that’s sort of what would happen here. There is a bar in place. Meet it, or don’t enter the race. You don’t get to change the rules…
