Heh, I kind of have that feeling when folks pay thousands for god-level computer and phone hardware then are all like, “$4 for an app!?”, “$10 for a completely optional armor set from the online store!”  Greedy developers!

My hunch is that the question is moot because they probably wouldn’t allow it to happen in the first place.

Uh, buying a car from a company who’s CEO is no longer interested in making cars may not be the ringing endorsement you think it is. They’re already, reportedly, a pain to get maintenance completed. If cars aren’t their focus, don’t expect that, or the resale/trade-in values, to get better.

IIRC, didn’t the experimental Ford EV van run 43 and some change? I get it’s a production car vs an experimental. But a pretty “simple” EV consisting of motors and a battery in a box beating an insanely complex Czinger by almost 6 seconds is an astounding demonstration of EV power.

Of course, the real discussion on the YouTube post is
A) This is an elaborate hoax using the Unreal Engine and
B) Why didn’t the the owner have comprehensive coverage on their expensive new vehicle?

I’m taking my car to ABC Auto Service to whom I pay for the service. Not John Smith the service advisor at ABC. It happened on ABC’s watch, it’s their problem. How they settle up with the employee is up to them.

BTW, the article doesn’t talk to the status any offers to make the situation good. If offered full…

Heh, my FIL sold his private practice to a regional health care operator. Pretty much all medicine is going that way. Dealing with insurance provider’s red tape and electronic records is death to small town private practices.  He agreed to stay on for a while in the transition. After never really believing our…

We got the Pagans and their allies around here (mid-Atlantic). They’re at about every larger bike night, bike week. Way back in the day, a friend used to work at a deli and made sandwiches for them. He got us invited to a nearby party they had. Aside from being asked ‘who we knew’, it was sort of a same planet;…

IIRC, requirement is to ride an American made bike and at the time HD was about the only domestic brand going. HD kind of keeps the 1%’ers at arms distance. To the point Zito takes offense and suggested that they should ride Hondas. I guess you could ride a Victory or Indian. But the parts catalog is so, relatively,…

An engineer can do for 50 cents what any fool can do for a dollar?

Nevere mind, misread. Apologies for inaccuracies

What are these “terrible live-action remakes” of which you speak? I did not watch any such movies because I am not a kid to which Disney typically aims such releases; they’re not FOR me. If they’re indeed terrible, why are they making them? Don’t see Disney throwing away money if they weren’t selling.
TL;DR - Maybe…

Add in money saved by doing my own large appliance repair, replacing the suspension on my car, doing my own small engine repair, and so on, YT premium has paid for itself several times over.

Getting the snip is quick and will pay for itself in things you’ll no longer need.

So Catherine married Joe Walsh and Barbara Bach married Ringo. Lesson is, don’t cut music class kids, it can pay off in the end!

As someone said, adjusting for the effects of climate change will certainly involve adaption, mitigation, and suffering. We had a point where we could choose what would be the focus of our path forward, and we chose suffering.

No doubt. Every year I have to take training to avoid the appearance of impropriety. In every sense of the word, this is a bribe and even if he paid back the “loan”, it is still a bribe. Beyond a company branded t-shirts, no; friends cannot give friends gifts, pay for relatives houses, give them RV’s at cherry loan…

You have the right to remain silent; what you lack is the capacity.

I’d like to know as well. It is said that this is from stock options wherein, one decides to buy or sell at a future date. I assume that means Tesla agreed to buy them back at the market value at a certain date. So yes, I (again assume, but what do I know) think Tesla would transfer 56B to Musk. Where they get that…

Air Traffic control can be a stress inducing job. Not many of us have the lives of complete strangers in our hands and could face the kind of repercussions that they do for a relatively average paycheck (same for airplane mechanics). An extreme example is the controller on duty when that BAL Bashkirian and DHL flight…
