Uber/Lyft drivers aren’t compelled to pick anyone up. Surge pricing is intended to convince these drivers to go drive to where the bomb just went off to pick people up. What’s wrong with that?

Oh. That makes sense and seems like a reasonable plan to be honest.

How did you hand carry a large bottle of liquid onto a plane?

As the proud owner of only one baby, it’s hard to get him and his stroller and all his shit around in my 3 series. You want something way bigger than that for twins, and I don’t mean “compact vs. mid sized”. You want an SUV, a minivan, or a boat.

What’s “synthetic minerals engineering”?

haha they hung a banner after losing the AFC Championship 45-7?

I live in Silicon Valley. I negotiated a good price on the car I wanted with a dealership a 90 minute drive east of here, in a kinda run down area.

Why would I care if my butler has a hard time waxing my GT-40?

This is a brutal investment.

When I was fresh out of school there was a Saturn dealer showing off the Sky in a parking lot at the mall. There was a middle aged guy with his kid who just finished driving it and I walked up and asked if they were doing test drives and the guy started to lecture me about how they’re not going to let just anyone…

I know my comment isn’t really that helpful here but seriously what the fuck is going on?

I did some math. I took a map of Turner Field with the distances from home plate to the wall measured and figured out that on my map 1 pixel was 1.6 feet.

“Are people really so addicted to their phones that they can’t just put them down for a duration of a drive—that they need an intervention?”

The biggest one? If someone constantly complains about how bad all the drivers around them are they’re probably a bad driver.

It’s survivorship bias. You know the block casting is good if it lasted 100k kms without fault and passed inspection after.

$100k can go fast these days. You could total two F150s and be over your coverage.

The driver had insurance, but it only enough to cover $100,000, and Shat says he paid $250,000 for the car. The frame was bent on impact, and he’s unsure what he’ll do from here to replace it.

Touchscreens don’t have haptic feedback. A button is always located in the same place, it doesn’t move, it has clear edges and you know you clicked it.

This is tougher than it looks.
