I’m a millennial and had no idea student loans were once dischargeable in bankruptcy proceedings. Apparently it ended in 1976, right in the middle of the credit industry’s consolidation. Fun times.

It seems you did miss something - Fain is the first truly democratically-elected UAW leader in decades if not ever. He took his win as a mandate to shake things up and take a much more aggressive posture with the Big Three.

Michigan has entered the chat...

This is great news, but it’s probably going to take longer to complete than the Big Dig did, and the actual cost is probably going to be at least 25% more than the $16b projection.

Teslatown... I shudder at the thought. (And yes I do remember Elon’s recent plan to build a factory town in Texas... may it never come to pass.)

Pussies are remarkably strong and resilient, though. Ballsacks, however...

The content mix is unfathomably vast. Tween girls dancing and thirst traps from 17 year old boys, yes, but also content on cooking, world news, gardening, human sexuality, celebrity gossip, deconstructing religion, funny animal videos, antiracism, fashion commentary, how to clean home appliances you never knew even…

A rational decision-maker would probably wait a few years (less than 10?) to see what the charger landscape looks like once the industry’s more mature. But this is Elon so there’s no guessing.

“Gun nuts” is fine. “Gun crazies,” “Gun fanatics,” “Gun lunatics” ... ‘pussy’ is a term that hurts WAY more people than just the person you’re flinging it at.

It’s believed that Apple is still testing its autonomous-driving technology (see link below - I’ve been Kinja’d and can’t embed it), but my guess would be that they’re not planning to release their own car in the end - they’ll make more money licensing out the tech than they would if they branched out into actually…

That’s not a paraphrase, it’s a misquote-  the actual quote is about women and men. And I don’t think conservatives’ main concern is being laughed at... they hate it, but it’s not their main concern.

Yes, that’s exactly what they’re expecting. These are American tourists who are traveling within their own country... you think they’re bad abroad? The entitlement ramps WAY up when they start ranting about THEIR taxpayer dollars paying for park upkeep, etc.

I once had a 1.5-hour delay once we’d already boarded because the armrest of one of the passenger seats was stuck in the down position. I was directly across the aisle from that seat so I got to watch maintenance do their thing, which was at least entertaining, but (not being an aviation expert) that seems like a…

And the constant announcements over the PA. A former boyfriend of mine once had to spend the night in the Atlanta airport and got not a wink because there was some sort of announcement or TSA reminder being made at frequent intervals (I don’t remember now, but probably every 10-15 minutes) all night long.

Buttigieg is working on it - I think we’re still in public comment period for some regulations regarding cash refunds for cancellations and severe delays, among others.

Quite right. Now that LGA’s been renovated, its biggest flaw (I think) is how few runways it has and how quickly those runways get shut down in inclement weather. I’ve always loved LGA because I lived in northwest Queens for a long time. JFK is nice but so far away, and Newark...well. The less said about New Jersey,…

FWIW, North Carolina has been so singularly focused on dismantling public education for the last 2-3 decades that this guy probably could’ve, theoretically, graduated high school and still not understand how 1A does or doesn’t apply. My first job out of college was in the public education ecosystem in NC - it lasted…

I agree in principle, but there are certain parks (like Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan) that have signs posted saying, basically, “rescue efforts cost $3000 and if you jump into the water from this spot there is no other way to get out of the water, so think carefully about your options.” If you’re going to do…

I just want you to know that I deeply appreciate this reference.

My favorite rental experience was the Mystery CD. Went to the mountains with some of my friends and rented a minivan for the weekend trip. Tried to put a CD in, but there was already a disc in there, so we hit play to see what the people before us had left behind. Only four songs:
