Sure. If it had happened under Obama then they would still have thought that it was a lie. Is that your position?

They see masks the way their cult leader told them to see them - as a violent attack on their persons. They are told the disease is a lie. That every one who believes in either masking or Covid is worse than a Nazi.

A lot of people never knew how to behave in the first place. It’s an entitlement/poor education thing.

Go to an early-adopter, big city; say Vancouver. Teslas and other EVs are ubiquitous. The change is coming and it will be an issue. 

Even though I’m typical not one for more taxes, once you get above a certain HP, that become a luxury. If a business needs more power to tow something, that’s also something that should be taxes because more stress is being put on the infrastructure.

I’ve yet to see any real defense of this “everyone must return!” mindset outside of “it’s how it’s always been” and “collaboration”. To me it reads more of “we don’t trust you to be professionals and get your work done without us monitoring you”.

9000 fucking pounds? Jesus Christ we can’t even do EVs right. Every day I’m more and more convinced that we flew too close to the sun a long time ago but convinced ourselves that the horrible burns were a nice tan. Fuck it all, no engines over 200 hp without paying for a more comprehensive license and any vehicle over…

My wife has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. CFS, or any of the other names it’s called, is Long Covid, but she got it ~15 years ago from a different virus.

Always buy two 10 mm sockets. You think you will have one in reserve when you lose one, but no. It’s doubly embarrassing when you lose both.

The people making these decisions were never impacted by the WFH change to start with. They’re the ones who demanded everyone be in the office for 40+ hours a week (for those places that were remote enough that nobody could realistically go off campus to eat) while simultaneously always having meetings/business that…

Every company seems to be thinking the Covid pandemic just ended all of a sudden.

Remember those halcyon days of late 2020 when everyone thought we’d never go back to an office again? Like these giant corporations would just let these multimillion dollar office buildings languish in the sun until nature overcame them, as we all basked in the glory of remote working? Those were the days...

• Places socket over seized bolt.

The only thing the video misses is the psychosis you experience after losing the socket where every small *clink* you hear makes you think it just fell out of whatever hole in the universe it was in and onto the floor.

Yes. Which is fine.

If you read the article, it does state that CRST canned him while he was off the road for 6 weeks with a broken foot, then went after the other company he tried to sign with after he was fired and was healed up enough to get back behind the wheel, it even stated that they were going to do that at all companies until…

Fits for basically every industry facing an employee “shortage”.

Trucking sounded like a good second career for me after I retire from my first, but between this article and the recent Last Week Tonight episode (available on Youtube) where John Oliver discussed the same topic, I’m thinking of taking a pass on that idea. The bait-and-switch racket of thinking you’re applying for a…

and it’s only getting worse with the one-two punch of global supply issues and Americans wanting same or next day delivery for their e-commerce purchases.

“and relocate their operations to Saudi Arabia and friendly nations”
