More experienced people would know you don’t leave a boat that’s not sinking.

I can’t figure how an anchor would fail in shallow water unless it was user error.

This reads like the treatment to that Gilligan’s Island reboot I never knew I wanted.

I mean, there’s lots of stupidity in this story, but if the engine failed and a storm kicked up, what exactly were they supposed to do? Probably shouldn’t have panicked and swam to shore, but all in all, I don’t think it’s totally fair to blame the employees in this case. Could have happened to someone more experienced…

I think it’s an absolute fucking nightmare. And I write about technology. We rented a car in Costa Rica and it was after the fifth time we tried to pass that I realized I was in ec0-mode, and took four days of serious contemplation to learn how it turns off. Of course it was a black button on the bottom of the…

Agreed. The only issue I have is shifting into ACC mode using a push-button is annoying, especially when you want to turn just the engine off, but keep the radio on.

My 2018 F-150 has a turn key ignition. Love it 

Is there actually such a thing as clean transportation, or are we just kidding ourselves?

what you said.
Using electricity to make heat is one of the least efficient uses of energy possible.
Natural gas is cleaner and more efficient.

Neutral:

That’s a great idea, giving them a discount like that for the next year would ensure that most would actually come back despite the bad taste in their mouth from this event, the organizers would still be able to cover their costs for this years “race”, and if they get the 50% payment now for next years race that gives…
