I kind of have that conundrum too. Enterprise & National are linked, since they are owned together, and my company code works at both. National is the better airport experience, being able to just walk up and leave most, but Enterprise points add up continuously forever and I use them for all my sub-3 hour work drives,…

Based on my expectations for Hertz, I assume any customer service rep who agrees to a refund gets fired. Maybe not immediately on the spot, but that Hertz finds a way to get rid of them as soon as possible, so everyone on staff knows what will happen if they provide actual customer service. 

Don’t they still come with 10 year/100k mile warranties too?

It would take the average person more than an hour to run the length of the piece of thread Rolls-Royce stitch into the Cullinan Series II.

I can’t believe we never made that connection. We even had a mini charcoal grill out there with us and would occasionally break the silence by saying “yup”. Maybe KOTH just conditioned us without us realizing it. 

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 don’t know what it is, but there is something very unsettling about this. 

This is the correct answer. 

Makes me think of the C7 too much. The wheels also make me think of Honda. I really like the C7, but find it disappointing coming from Ferrari.

I hate when clients are set on cheapest bid. The cheapest bids do a good job at ending up the most expensive by the end. 

Username checks out. 

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.
