I’m still waiting for someone to write that the NTSB has concluded that someone was behind the wheel of the Texas crash and that autopilot would not engage on that street.

“It was that second battery that was dead, after the car had sat for too long — apparently because the car’s charging system turns off when the big battery is fully charged, and, then, the big battery stops charging the smaller one, too.”

This is nothing new. Something similar had to happen when I had to replace the 12 volt battery in my Volt. I had to remove the rear floor panel, several plastic trim pieces and a plastic cover to do so. All told took me 30 minutes.

That’s not so different than the number of parts I need to remove from my Subaru to change a headlight - or I can blindly shove my arm up into the wheel well like I’m trying to birth a calf. The latter works on the side I can use my (super dominant) right hand, but the other side is a different story.

Looking for young fresh out college applicants with 15 years experience!

You mean I can’t get a negative-equity-rolled-in-200-month-high-interest loan?  Pfffffft, you can keep your “what’s it gonna take to get your into that new Peterbilt today” spiel. 

... and isn’t awesome to begin with. 

To be fair, I did the Jalopnik thing and simply stole someone else’s work.

It’s going to be an uphill battle to get people into a job that other people are working furiously to eliminate with robots.

Damn son. Took 7 minutes from the time this blog posted for you to debunk it. Keep fighting.

Yeah, given that standard rates are around $0.60/mile, I believe. Something doesn’t add up.

Used high-end truck salesperson here. One of the biggest issues we seeing being faced here is that financing companies won’t give you the loan without a job and the carriers won’t give you the job without a truck. It is a shitty paradox that locks people into being company drivers and not the O/O’s that they want. 

Bullshit detector reading off the charts.  My guess is its some sort of lease opp deal where the “pay” is the 14 grand but after overhead you take home peanuts. 

Perhaps BMW could pursue an attractive vehicle.

First Gear: One of the reasons Toyota is doing well is because they learned from previous natural disasters and stockpiled resources like chips. It might be a lesson for other companies - the company that pioneered just-in-time logistics planned ahead and stockpiled parts so it wouldn’t be at the mercy of just-in-time…

Yeah, that statement is akin to saying there is no drought in XX, because there is plenty of rain in YY.

There is no gas shortage. There is only panic.

Dennis Hopper: Unless your project is dyno-supreme you both get Ds.

One of those roles was in My Science Project, which always has a fond place in my heart. It’s a sorta dumb movie, but it’s fun and colorful.

This is the only thing related to Trump women that I actually support.
