No, but the ableist opinion is that those people who do have less functional bodies are undeserving of an equal opportunity, undeserving of living their lives however the hell they want to, or in extreme cases, undeserving of life at all.

Counterpoint: your phone stays cooler that way

TNG’s ramps got good use in the episode “Too Short a Season”, when a visiting admiral used a hover chair (because future) to get around the ship. They even showed that the Ent-D’s bridge seats can be removed to accommodate a mobility device.

It’s mostly a problem for me in the Youtube app. My palm hits one of the recommended videos and I lose my place in the one I’m actually watching.

Harley-Davidson is in a uniquely desperate situation. It’s struggling to attract new riders, especially younger ones

We have chosen to focus on introducing it in Germany first as the U.S. represents more differences in federal and state regulations,

I still can’t figure out how to hold my ever-thinning phone without my fingers wrapping around and inadvertently activating something on the screen. Give me some bezels, damn it!

“Uber and Cabify are putting the viability of the taxi sector and 130,000 jobs at risk

This looks straight out of Stargate Atlantis

I think you misunderstood: I’m not disagreeing that security needs to be paid more at all, I just don’t think it matters whether an engineer gets paid 100k or 400K that the company should pay its contractors decently.

The median salary at Facebook is reportedly north of $240,000 a year; Alphabet, Google’s parent company, pays a median salary of just over $197,000. Security officers working in Silicon Valley can currently earn between $13 and $18 per hour—the equivalent of between $27,000 and $37,000 a year.

‘finger Jell-O’

Not to mention the failure to recognize the irony that they simultaneously call on the NFL to crack down on anthem protests while they cry at FB for dictating what content shows up on their free, private, non-government website; companies can and will take action to protect how they or their brand is represented.

Seconding this. Having used knobs vs. touch screens or touch pads to scroll lists or make accurate selections of anything on screen, I’ll gladly take a knob (especially Audi’s current knob) any day; the touch solutions are too inaccurate or difficult to use while driving.

Mercedes new exterior design language still bothers me. It’s like “I left a vinyl record on top of the radiator and it got all gooey”

Like the Kia Stinger that looks more like an Audi A7 than the new A7, this looks more like a cheap Chinese knockoff than an actual Mercedes.

Completely agreed - the push is always “let’s take away the thing trying to address the symptoms rather than address the root causes”.

In all these anti-ridesharing app policies, I have still never seen a city propose actually improving their own taxi fleet rather than limiting the availability of the apps.

....yes? That was what my post was about

I’m with you there. Not every single aspect of the timeline needs to be explained, especially when we know so much of the beginning and end of it.
