Ok, sure, we can call it a negotiation. I’m not sure why that’s the part of this we are arguing about, because whether or not these discussions can accurately be described as a negotiation is really not the point.

It's the same reason why the NFL keeps making changes to their rules to reduce concussion / CTE risk; they are protecting the bottom line. Nothing more, nothing less.

They've been complaining since at least the 90's, public sentiment just wasn't strong enough for them to get any traction with the complaints until recently.

Damn this article is really bringing out the racists! I kinda wish you all would crawl back under the rocks you came from.

Wow, that's such a ridiculous false equivalency I can't tell if you're serious or not. I really hope I'm simply missing the joke.

Yeah, and keep fucking over each generation of his family for 200 years, then call them out for trying to look out for thier own best interests.

If you don't understand the connection I don't think it's worth trying to explain it. 

How long does it take? It’s been an issue since the 90's. Until recently public sentiment wasn’t strong enough for it to matter but that had already changed and things aren’t going back to the way they were. If the Cherokee wasn’t Jeep’s best selling model they would have renamed it long ago. Chrysler already knows…

Nah, I don't think there are two sides to this one. Take your moral relativism elsewhere. Using something that isn't yours for profit is anything but an honor.

Unless your electricity supply is not fossil fuel based your battery powered tools are not reducing your carbon footprint. In fact, they may be increasing it, due to energy losses in generating and transmitting the electricity and in the battery charging process.

Honestly the Corvette has come a long way if this is what we’re complaining about instead of the fact that the interior is made up of GM parts bin materials and feels like an upgraded Camaro.

hey leave the accounting department out of this! We don’t make the decisions, we just tell management how much the decisions will cost. It’s not our fault when they get all uptight about shit like “cost reductions” and “profit”.

This article is MUCH better than the one that ran over the weekend, using words such as “horrifying” and “terrifying” repeatedly. It’s easy to sensationalize aviation incidents and I think she did a good job balancing that out here.

Sure, it would fit the duty cycle very well right now, but those batteries aren’t going to last 20 years. Battery recycling hasn’t become a large scale issue for teslas yet, but it certainly will become an issue quickly when you’ve got a fleet of vehicles literally charging and discharging constantly for 8 hours a day.

Looks like something a dreamworks villain would drive.

There are lots of reasons to get your financing pre-approved with your bank or credit union, but this is one of the biggest one in my opinion. out of all the cars I’ve bought in my life, I’ve only had to talk to the finance guys once. and that was the first car I bought, before I married my wife, who has a credit…

That’s exactly the problem; if you watch that scene the fight between anakin and not greedo is essentially a schoolyard scuffle. IMO the prequel trilogy could have been made without TPM completely and made more sense. There’s no need to try to portray potential evil in a little kid when you can just start in the…

Oh my god I was just about screaming at the static video when she pulls the nozzle out of her car. I’m sure a lot of people would do the same thing as we REALLY don’t want to see our car on fire. But I’m also pretty sure the right thing to do is 1: get yourself the fuck away from the fire ASAP, whether it means your…

I worked for Nextel and then (unfortunately) Sprint for 17 years and this is the first thing I thought of when I saw the headline. The intrinsically safe and mil-spec phones were absolute BEASTS. And the non mil-spec versions are GREAT first phones to give a middle schooler if you want them to have a phone but don’t…

My wife has a Honda Pilot and is on a forum called “Piloteers”. It’s absolutely as boring as the name and subject suggests, but there’s a ton of super useful information there. I think pretty much any given model of car has its fair share of really obscure quirks, especially as cars get more an more complicated.
