Uber begs to differ. ;-)

It’s not turbo lag, that doesn’t even really exist anymore. Ford programs its truck transmissions very, very far in the direction of fuel economy, which makes them very excited about shifting up, and very reluctant to shift down. You can correct this simply by putting the transmission in sport, pushing the tow button,…

“one thing is clear. This is a big of a once-promising brand for the automotive industry.” This is the one thing that isn’t clear.

It’s called “Full Self Driving” because it has to be driven by your full self, that is, you, the person.   

This was very much a model that dickheads preferred. The car has undoubtedly been thrashed, likely smoked in, and frankly I’d be weary of bodily fluids. 

From the search term spam, to the weird aggressive tone of the sellers comments, if this ad had anymore red flags then it would be a Soviet Military Parade. ND all the way.

The overall tone of the ad, the wording makes me hesitate. On the face of it, seems like it should be a NP, but the seller comes across as a dickhead and $6200 is too much to put up with the hassle! So No Dice because I wouldn’t want to deal with this guy and his boy-racer modifications.

i had a friend that called starbucks “dairy queen for grownups.” she was right, but she was one of those people that rolls her eyes at anyone that doesn’t drink their coffee dead black. extremism either way is whatever.

Tipping wait staff generously should be universal

At least Chick-fil-A does a pretty awesome job of getting people their orders fast. The ones I have gone to excel at this.

I maintain that Starbucks is actually in the dairy drink business, not the coffee business.  

Starbucks is disgusting. Tastes like someone brewed bitter tree bark and then threw ashes in it. No thanks.

FIFY

The person with the 46 dollar order is certainly getting something for free.

Agreed drive thru’s have gotten way worse. Most Chik-fil-A’s I see have instituted 2-lane systems and their personnel always seem to have their shit together and it is as efficient as it can be.

For fuxsake, “Pay it forward” at place where moderately affluent people order overpriced coffee from the comfort of their large SUV sounds comically pretentious and tone deaf, even during a time where virtue signalling for sport is common place.

... and if you’re in a line of 36 pay-it-forwards, nobody except the last guy is getting anything for free. You’re just paying for a different order than your own. That’s not charity. But then I don’t understand the whole Starbucks culture. Sure, I’ll drink their mocha once in awhile, but no over-roasted, overpriced an…

THANK YOU.  Forced generosity or charity is neither.  Also, sorry, not sorry, I don’t want to be the guy who has the cheap and easy order having to pay for the family of 6 behind me - I don’t have to justify my reasons, but sometimes people just can’t afford it.

The pay it forward thing has always been the dumbest thing imaginable. It’s performative charity for people who don’t need it. Want to feel good? Donate time or money to an actual cause. Or, as this article wisely suggests, tip the workers.
