It’s part of the mystic or attempt to appeal to us mortals. Pro athletes now boast their health-conscious lifestyle, but there are physical feats tied to them. Actors/models get judged just as much for their brand as their body and it is either boring or non-relatable to talk about their health routine.

It’s also an effective tool to downsize a workforce without having to lay people off. The executives calling these shots think everyone is replaceable, so they don’t care if it means the company ends up losing high performers. 

I love it

This only needs to be one slide because the only answer is “whoever is youngest.” Insurance companies have had this figured for several decades and there is about as much debate about it as there is debate about whether or not people should drink water on a daily basis. 

It’s even worse just the right tool, it’s that Deere would void the entire warranty without their people working on it. The tools and know how exist, but if the wrong person logs in you just voided the entire warranty. This has been a long standing issue with phones/computers where Apple would just brick a device if…

The difficulty of computer things is just as much a learning curve issue as anything else. Elementary schools and high schools across the country are littered with robotics & programming classes. As the generations shift, there will be a lot more people capable of understanding the tech shifts. Just need to make sure…

I’m just imaging a bunch of pissed off tech workers trying to hammer steel sheets to a car the same way I’ve had to when those discount shelves come with misaligned holes.

Based on when they first started making the S & X, maybe he meant sub 10mm

My MIL went with an Outback over the Forester because it was a lot lower. The Forester felt pretty similar to trying to climb into any of the current 3ROW SUVs out there while the Outback seats are pretty well below them. 

I think the price is the biggest thing. A RTT has it’s benefits, but I’ll just get myself a lakeside cabin rental before I go dropping $8k on the set up. 

I expect it will continue getting harder because it has become the business model for basically every major company (much like your Apple reference). It’s quite annoying the number of hoops I’ve had to jump through in order to do basic repairs on stuff like a smart watch, vacuum, or our spin bike.

If they think finding a rental for a few weeks is difficult, just wait until they have to start getting repairs on a car that sits for 90% of the year...

People do that, but it’s not consistent and rarely enough to support multiple households. Especially the honor system type stands. A ton of American farmland is commercially owned/operated, so it’s not like the countryside is littered with local farmers working with the local populace. There are 100s of towns with a…

A real Peloton champion doesn’t sit while riding. The broken seat should just be seen as motivation to stay up. 

Is the Hot Wheels paint job complete?

This is one of the few times where it would have been appropriate to just have a slideshow of Jalopnik’s favorite cars that sold and a little piece each of the writers here wanted to include about them.

Unfortunately for anyone who attended a school that went under like that, they often can’t get a job that requires an accredited degree. There are a lot of jobs out there that needlessly ask for some type of degree and it makes no difference, but particularly in fields like education, law, engineering, & healthcare,…

All of these just look like they’d be fun little rentals. Something I might grab for an afternoon to tote each kid around a scenic area and then be done with it. If I only had one kid, it would probably make them feel like a rock star at school drop-off, but that also speaks to the demographic that I know is most…

It’s still much easier to meet someone in person if you already know a bunch about them. Having an established connection can also allow a bit more forgiveness if you stumble through that first meeting, since that no longer encompasses the first impression. 

Who would have thought that a company run by publicly open bigots employs local bigots.
