This is what happens when a country has zero financial education in schools.

I wonder if they’re going to start putting them on school buses now.

Why do people join HOAs?

Honest question, I’ve never heard of *any* good reason to be part of one; they just seem like you’re agreeing to give control over what you can and can’t do on your property to the worst bored old-lady busybody stereotypes.

I may actually side with the neighbors if he parks and it blocks the sidewalk like that.

Park it on the street and I have no issue.

Uber had a chance to show people that hey, maybe our company isn’t a bottomless barrel of incompetence, and it just... didn’t.

You all appear to have a serious vendetta with Uber.

It almost makes one wonder if you are receiving a stipend from medallion owners for every hit piece you write.

Depends on how the thickness was added. If it was on the inside of the shaft, which is likely, the torque increase isn’t proportional because of the torque “arm”. If they added it to the outside, it would be more than 44% stronger but would be much larger.

The oxblood leather interior they did on the 900 and 9000 is fantastic. Especially since the dash and the doorcard colour matches the Scottish leather on the seats.

In military terms, the raid was a success. Team successfully infiltrated, grabbed the objective, and exfiltrated. Having casualties or getting caught doesn’t make the mission a sudden failure.

Except the raid actually was planned by the Obama administration and they were simply waiting for the right time to push the button (logistics and moonless night). No matter who won the election, that raid was going to go down.

How many more soldiers have to die before he’s up for a Nobel Peace Prize though?

I would be wary at praising Canada too much. If you have never lived and/or worked there, it is easy to come away with an impression not quite accurate.

Hamilton Nolan has done nothing with his life except fail upwards, so don’t expect him to understand realities of the world.

So would people actually make more if you switched tipping income with minimum wage income? Because if they are making an actual wage, the practice of tipping would decline. When I worked as a bartender in college, I made a lot more with just tips and you don’t really need to pay taxes on cash tips (legally you do,…

Actually, Land Rover Range Rover is the same as saying Fiat 500. Brand, model. Irsksome would be Tata Motors Land Rover Range Rover. Manufacturer, Brand, Model, like your FCA and VAG references above.

It can fly over 20% of the way to the moon? Holy shit!

Tell me everything you know about Uber’s insurance policy, please.

Uber driver tells Uber CEO that he lost $97,000 because of him, and he went bankrupt because of it. Driver started pointing fingers in the CEO’s face after he basically told him how to run his own business. I’m not sure the tone of the CEO was unwarranted.

I mean, even a relatively clean Honda Accord was “high end” compared to a taxi at the time.

While the arguments you make are fine, I struggle because a comparbale taxi ride is an objectively terrible experience. Twice the price, terrible service, needs directions or takes inefficient route, and generally are not available as necessary unless you’re leaving the airport. Is Lyft significantly better from an…
