I grok what you’re saying but I couldn’t get into the BI article ... their site conflicts with my adblocker ... and it would have been more appropriate in my opinion for Torch to cite that NIH article if he was gonna cite anything for that statement.

I grok you want to hear/see some leadership from your employer, but don’t forget you’ve got the 800 pound gorilla in the room demanding to be the interlocutor and usually only means of communication between the suits and you ... and by that I mean your union. Quite frankly, if UPS is not doing what you think they…

Jason, don’t spread the panic & misinformation. You cited Business Insider for the “factoid” that the covid19 virus could last up to 24 hours on a parcel ... and that’s grossly irresponsible to accept ANY info like that from BI. They are NOT a science site or organization, and their sources are often suspect, as their…

ah, been a while ... my earlier post should have ended with “fargin iceholes” ;-)

Neutral: Should Dealers Remain Open?

Your missing the point.

I bought a different used car from a dealer, and it had Sirius radio when I bought it, but almost exactly 90 days later, it went away.

only serves to make your argument — and, by extension, all anti-Trump arguments — look weak

Do you have like a reverse bullshit filter on your work computer or something?

When Americans back home are *directly* affected by the war, then you can expect some social pushback. In D/S, only a small percentage of our forces were on the ground in combat, and even then actual combat was a brief (100 hours, remember?) chaotic mad rush. Less than a thousand total casualties for all of Desert…

Sure, it’s ugly on the outside, but it’s beautiful on the inside. I don’t mean the interior, that’s not so great either. I mean the metaphorical inside.

SUV or Crossover? This argument has been ebbing and flowing on Jalopnik for years ... the term crossover has been waved around for nearly 2 decades now. I vaguely recall reading articles in car mags (paper, not online) introducing this concept back in the ‘Aughts. The key determiner at the time was that if it was a…

The view from the States <snip>

need to push back against is calling this AI. It’s not.

sorry but an apple engineer playing mobile games on his phone is fully aware of his negligence and the only fault tesla has is providing a car that has more advanced  defective driver aids than most.

I am in favor of proportionate responsibility, as it is absolutely impossible for any event in the real world to be 100% the fault of a single element.

realize just how bad almost all cars from the Big 3 were back then

Retrofitting older cars with newer “safety related” equipment has always been a zone of idiocy for regulators. Many states have always had a very conservative approach to the aftermarket, and in various times and places certain aftermarket upgrades have been illegal. Low flow exhaust. Glass pack mufflers. Turn…

Just because it was taken in conquest doesn’t mean it wasn’t part of (i.e., controlled by) France. Every square inch of the USofA was taken in conquest, yet here we are a completely legitimate nation. In fact, every county on earth, except maybe for a tiny handful of islands, has been fought over with all or part of…

I’d just like to point out the varying and sometimes radical changes in style and fashion that we undergo on a near-constant basis in the here and now, yet most future worlds, especially in the Trek universe, have nearly everybody dressing the same. And for what it’s worth, those sunglasses in the pic up there are…
