That’s every corporation. I know a handful of engineers that literally had the plan I outlined and have interviewed some on the exit part. Work like hell for a few years, pay off the students and pad the savings, then get out. The base pay there isn’t especially huge for the market, but their employees are actually pre…

“We need some level of closure or a sign that we can stop worrying about losing our jobs.”

3) Are young, inexperienced, and/or just need a job. Work a million hours, get all the money and experience possible, then move on.

In college I lived right by the main exit that fed to my university. Spent many nights sitting on the porch with some beers waiting to see who got in an accident, ticketed, and/or arrested. The neighborhood off campus is pretty shady, so there was ample free entertainment. Got to watch the university president get a…

Even as a guy, I’d prefer the bear (as long as no cubs are present). Most bears don’t care for humans as food, so the odds are in your favor that they either ignore you, run away, or simply want you gone. Polar bears are the considered the exception, though, and will actively hunt & eat people.

I’d bet at least a handful of those 70 ended up sick just by being around that many people vomiting. I imagine once the first few sick, all of the air will be layered in that smell, only increasing with each sick passenger. 

Replacing functional bridges always take a really long time, particularly as people argue about how functional the foundations are, since that is a massive cost saving. Also, getting a DOT to commit multi-year money to a functional structure over all the dysfunctional stuff becomes a very political fight. DOT budgets…

Those front-end hurdles tend to get a lot shorter when responding to a disaster, like this. I think I read in previous articles that there have actually been talks about replacing the bridge before, so there actually may be a decent amount of front design considerations already started. Either way, when DOTs announce…

but can I still return it, no questions asked?

Sounds like something that could spearhead more right to repair laws for us all. 

1000 hours of waterway cleanup for community service.

Based on the porn that ended up on his Twitter, I think he just likes sex stuff. Only normal thing about the guy. 

Per another commenter, $250k between Delta & AA to him. 

For a business, downtime to get a repair could easily be more valuable than the repair itself. Tesla is known for being quite slow with their repairs/parts, so a $200 repair could cost $1000 in down time. Tesla just handily beat almost everyone is lowest cost of ownership by Consumer Reports.

If you’re thinking of buying one, it could be a great experience to rent it for a few days just to use at home.
