The fuck does she need a lawyer for? Is she going to sue a church for making her feel bad?

1st Gear: Once again, the stock market is just nonsense hand waving. It’s absolute gibberish to say Rivian, a company with no revenue or products, is worth nearly as much as Volkswagen, one of the most successful car companies in the world.

Judgemental jackasses like you are a scourge on the world.

And you are a person that is hard to take seriously.

Don’t listen to the other self righteous jerk. People can change and grow to be better. Your perspective is helpful to this conversation.

I’m OK with being called an idiot. I was an idiot. I’m also nearly 11 years sober, which doesn’t invalidate my misdeeds but at least shows that I did, in fact, address my alcoholism.

When I saw this mandate on the news last night, the first thing I told my wife is that the value of used cars is going to go way up.

Honesty appreciated.

“Won’t somebody think of the children‽”

Ban all cars and shut down all roads. If nobody was allowed to drive, then nobody would die in vehicle crashes. I solved the problem for you.

I’m all for preventing drunk driving, but fuck this kind of invasive nanny state technology. Apparently I’ll be driving a lot more vintage cars in the future, because I flatly refuse to drive a car that might suddenly decide I’m too tired because of the always on cameras monitoring my every move.

I am, to my shame, a 2-time loser. And as such, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that no system exists outside of full automation that can keep drunks from driving while also not screwing over normal, rational drivers at the same time.

this is exactly the response that i knew i would get.. .OMG you support drunk driving! how could you not be against drunk driving???

My parent’s new fully loaded Outback has some of that tech in it and it’s complete garbage. You cant even physically move your head to check a blind spot without it getting pissed. The worst is when you have to stare at the jumbo infotainment to figure out the AC and it goes off.

Drunk driving accounts for so few accidents in the country. Comapred to cell phone driver and sleepy drivers, DUI crashes make up a nearly meaningless portion of the crashes. But its low hanging fruit - no one in theri right mind would ever speak out in support of drunks - but this is misguided tech.

Amen. I enjoy cooking and am good at it but long ago thought this through and decided that it was more important for me to entertain frequently without tearing my hair out than to meticulously make multicourse meals from scratch once or twice a year. And overall, as long as the food is good (and the liquor is flowing) …

GR8 B8 M8!

I respect the trolling. 10/10, would also troll like this on Jalopnik.

Yeah, that was my observation as well. They will want it to continue for a while to milk it for all it’s worth. In times of shortages, manufacturers get to charge a premium for their product. This is a godsend to them.

The median income for cooks in the US is just $27,290/year. Which works out to $13.37/hour

you can’t really actually live off that sort of wages in a big city in the US, but you definitely can in europe.
