It...it has tractor tires
“meets motorcycle safety standards,” which are generally one step above prisoner of war safety standards.
“Well, at least we’ve got your underwear and my toothbrush.”
Having sat in on many an engineering meeting...these sorts of “Company Considered Thing But Did Not Use Thing, Now We Think Thing Might Have Been Better” stories make me cringe a bit. It’s not that they’re always without merit (though they’re often leaning heavily on the benefits of hindsight), it’s just given that…
Having a BCD is like getting pre-fired from 99% of the possible future jobs out there, and getting bounced down to E-1 (which is part of a BCD) effectively erased his career up until that point.
When I was bagging groceries at sixteen, the grocery company still ran a background check on me. A BCD or DD will pop up on any basic check. A BCD you might be able to talk your way out of, but a DD is an automatic “no” from most big organizations (even McDonald’s has government contracts).
If he got a full Dishonorable Discharge...no, he wouldn’t. Zero eligibility for any kind of federal aid, forever. Including food stamps and housing. If you manage to earn yourself a DD and somehow aren’t in prison for the rest of your life (it’s usually only murderers/rapists/traitors who go full DD), you can drop…
Well, a dishonorable discharge is a black mark that will haunt you for the rest of your life. It’s the practical equivalent of having a felony conviction in some states—anything that requires a background check is going to go bad for you (housing, work, etc). You are ineligible for any form of government assistance…
Yeah but when you’re dealing with an egomaniac...it would have just given him an “out.”
There’s an element of chance at play in every application, especially for schools that receive a high volume of applicants that year. There is no GPA, SAT score, or extracurricular resume that will guarantee entrance to any given school, although good ones definitely tilt the odds in your favor.
That’s exactly what a syphilis would say
That’s super cool and also I hate it and somehow both of those things are true
A lot of them would find a way to “forgive” it, but considering a huge argument they’ve made to themselves about supporting then sinful dumpster (band name?) so far has been “anything but a baby killer,” it’ll be...entertaining, at least.
I wonder if it’s a court thing. If they say an independent source (book/author/journalist/etc) was a key part of the case, then it’s fair game for the defense to attack it and question any evidence or procedures involved. If they insist that the case is only built on police work, that’s all that goes into discovery (I…
Your counter-argument is premised on the false idea that crossover buyers are making logical comparisons between an automaker’s portfolio offerings and cross-shopping them against the competitive equivalents.
But Tom — I want carmakers to make brown manual RWD wagons!
So unless you can be #1 in the segment, you shouldn’t compete?
