This would be a 5th Amendment thing. Specifically the takings clause:

“we need your Land Rover”

“For your contribution, here is a check for $10,000....but for some reason our accounting department issued checks for $15,000. Just deposit the check, mail us $4,000 cash and keep and extra $1,000 for your troubles.”

Spot on. The image is their downfall, along with lack of anything but cruisers. With the introduction of the pan America and Street fighter, they will have a slightly more diversified product line, but even if these products are bleeding edge tech and outperform all the other competition (LMAO) 75% of the people who…

For an “at will” employee, if you are fired, you can sue if you believe you were fired unfairly, you can collect unemployment benefits, but your employer may divulge why they fired you. If you resign, even under pressure, you don’t get unemployment benefits, but your employer cannot say much about your employment…

If Levatich was publicly fired, for example, he might have a harder time finding his next job

Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. 

Due respect to Jalop, this is a nontroversy.  Everyone in high finance knows he was fired.  “Stepping down” is a way of letting an exec save face.

This is truly a wild story. 

Boards of directors ALWAYS protect their own no matter what and it really does take a coalition of shareholders, and of those, the biggest institutional investor companies, to force change and even THEN they have to fight like hell.

I would guess the tensioner should also have been replaced with the belt, but wasn’t, and it failed. My old Subaru did this to me, but that was a non-interference engine, so just some inconvenience.

It’s official, Marbula One is the only sporting event that’s not canceled or postponed this year. At least we haven’t lost our marbles.

Since it’s basically a Model 3 that had too many pies, should it just be the Model 3.14?

Because they know you’re going to take them off anyway. They aren’t going to go through the trouble of designing a system lots of owners are going to remove anyway because for some reason lots of owners like having utterly useless and invisible signal lights. It’s not like bikes are already hard to see on the road.

That’s a mighty good question. My 3rd gen smart has the same weird thing going on. LED brake lights, LED taillights...incandescent turn indicators. Whaaaa?

Cost and small size. Turn signals require “outage detection” which is usually just the rapid blink of incondesant bulbs because of the reduced draw on the turn signal relay. LEDs have low power consumption, so that doesn’t work so there has to be extra components that monitor the draw of the LEDs to see if they have…

Sequential taillights look stupid if the taillight is taller than it is wide.  Really, the wider the better.

That’s a tank of gas and 2 Americans

Not ideal, need guaranteed power, a lot of it, hospitals are power intensive, would need massive generators, also likely an insufficient number of power outlets too. Plus we have a limited number of always on outlets(a school won’t have such a circuit) so if power and one of our generators fails just the critical…

Do base models generally exist in large numbers for anything other than econoboxes?
