A train seems like the dumbest and least safe mode of transport for political figure

“If you’re parked illegally and the private property owner or the city wants to remove you from that spot, towing has that impact. Booting doesn’t,” he told ABC News. “The car is still in the spot so the spot is not available for anyone else if that’s your intended goal.”

It’s probably the insurance companies not the event holders that deny most of these claims. The smart organizations take out an insurance policy so instead of being a 1% chance of paying out 90K and a 99% chance of paying out $0, they just pay the insurance company $1K to assume the risk and insurance companies…

There can be negative impacts of excessive warming if you dump it back into the waterway. But I agree, terming this water as “used” is a little misleading when it seems more like it’s “borrowed and warmed up”

This makes no sense, they were already an hour late so no sense taking off to save your on-time stats. And people still had to wait on the other side for their bags to get there, so for anyone who had a checked bag there was basically zero benefit to not waiting for bags. 

Did you look at the pictures/video? “Caved in” is pretty dramatic wording for what one might also describe as “probably would have passed if this was a sanctioned crash test” I would love to see a picture of any vehicle at all that rolled over and didn’t sustain comparable damage. 

Seems like this article is way too triggered about the fact this guy made a geographically incorrect statement rather than focusing on the fact his comments were crappy and racist regardless of whether or not the geographic aspect was accurate...

What about this article and the photos makes this seem like an unsafe vehicle? “oooh in a rollover crash some glass and plastic fenders broke”

So kind of like what happens to any car on the planet in a rollover crash? Cool story bro

I’m only willing to pay on a subscription basis for features where the OEM is also incurring cost on an ongoing basis.

Except aren’t insurance companies the opposite of that? They take your premium “betting” that you (and the collective group of customers) will have good fortune such that total claims will be less than total premiums. 

Must be a regional thing because in my neck of the woods, any of the automated ones where the customer remains in the vehicle for the duration of the wash don’t have any full time staff (unless you count the ones connected to a gas station where the station has someone inside at the register) and are open 24/7.

You really shouldn’t even go to a self-serve one if you’ve got a large volume of mud. They usually have a pretty simple small drain designed for minor debris and will clog up if you’ve got serious mud caked on. 

Kinda defeats the purpose of an automated car wash if you need an employee to man it...

Still a little confused where the $379M comes from, article only explains $1M in cash and 95M in equity award

you are allowed to take up space, but how much space and where is important. No one wants to try and shove their shoes back on while standing and trying to balance their carry on and documentation. There are plenty of places to sit in the terminal or near your gate

How to be a journalist like a decent human being

Seriously, I was confused/surprised how this article seems to characterize this as some major update.

Based on CPI inflation figures, a $21,490 starting price in 2021 is the equivalent of a 25,113 starting price today. The actual starting price for the hybrid today is 26,500 which is pretty dang close. So maybe instead of some elaborate plan to trick customers out of more money, it’s more just a case of “everything…

Like, what are you going to do with that, right? In 10 years? Yeah, like gas stations will be slowly disappearing. It’s just weird.
