The REASON the ICE vehicles get such terrible gas mileage is simply because the way they are used.  Constant stop and go driving in the lowest gear for mail delivery to curbside boxes.  As well as drivers who really don't give two shits about gas mileage while driving them, why would they?  The routes are typically…

We’ve tried everything, except paying people what the job is worth, and we’re all out of ideas!

I really hope the LLV’s get sent to auction rather than being crushed, it would be awesome to see what people do with them. 

Chicken and egg staffing prob, rather common I think. Cant get new employees because the job is too stressful unless fully staffed. But cant get fully staffed without new employees. Almost have to bring in a bunch at once (to prove “fully staffed” to the other noobs), but then really hard to train so many in parallel.

They’re goofy looking, but honestly pretty endearing, and being purpose-built whilst also increasing safety and comfort is a huge win. 

It’s possible she was in this state of mind due to some bad medicine, but Jon told her he’d be there for her, asked her to lay her hand on him, and he helped her over the edge by keeping her in these arms.  Keep the faith, he instructed.

Exactly. I work for a paycheck on the bad days, and because I love what I do on the good days. I’m not going to be a cheerleader for the company because I’m FORCED to be.

Maybe its because I am in a bad mood today. Maybe its because I am now a middle aged male. I am not at company number 9 in my career.

“Revoking some more employees’ fully remote work privileges.”

FIRST GEAR: Ah yes, loyalty pledges. This is something that’s coming into vogue across industries. If people are deemed not sufficiently excited or enthusiastic, they’re viewed as low performers or disloyal and removed from the business. I’ve heard of this happening in tech companies already.

Makes sense.  On video, left his truck behind and the police are “looking” for him?  Next statement will be that they “couldn’t definitively identify him in the video” and there will be no charges.

That was my guess. Guy even looks like a cop.

Big pickup truck from NJ in Brooklyn. Disproportinately violent response.

It looks like the Italian Job and Duel screenwriters were influenced by Cy Endfield’s Hell Drivers. Also features a very young Sean Connery, definitely worth a watch.

It doesn’t get much better than the Blues Brothers car chase through the mall. 

Ronin.

Ronin, Ronin.....Ronin

So many in The Blues Brothers. Final one is legendary, but the one in the mall is also pretty good.

Honestly, any of the ones from Ronin
