As much fun as it would be to have a bunch of little LUV trucks poking about, I expect they’d be more likely to reuse the good old S-10/Sonoma names and then basing it on the current Blazer platform. However, going full tilt and getting us a LUV Cyclone might just be what makes it #1.

I’d be pretty okay wrecking the impacts corporate IP has had on art, but I’m sure there could be plenty of issues with that. 

Do you genuinely believe that a product which every major manufacturer has invested many billions into, built entire factories dedicated to it, done so on a global scale, and has seen consistent annual growth will suddenly get pushed to the side like some kind of fad? 

Perhaps a clause that if a project makes it so far into production and the company cans it, then that feature becomes public domain for anyone to pick up that chooses? The product doesn’t necessarily get released as is, but any other producer can scoop it up to complete. 

I think my company gets around this with the standard question of something like “will we need to sponsor your visa now or in the future?” and if they say no, that’s good enough. I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of asylum seekers don’t know these rules either and think they need a visa or something to work somewhere…

Who do you think is funding their campaigns?

Saudi Arabia took Aramco public, cashed out huge, and now have billions dispersed in global investments. They still make tons of money fromthe profits and it certainly establishes the local economy, but they already got out of that game. I’d bet nearly every product that we all use daily is tied to the Saudi wealth…

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…
