Effectively it’s a kill switch in that it could be hacked and the computer fed false information to stop the car by carjackers, corrupt authorities, and whatever other more sinister movie characters you'd like to obsess over

I guess. But websites got more data intensive without supplying better content. It’s all flashy design choices conveying abstract qualities signifying nothing of material substance. That kind of advancement in tech serves businesses more than consumers because it allows them to make money not on their products but on…

Is the faster speed useful for anything besides streaming stuff and data-intensive websites? Because both of those things sound like luxuries. Honestly, most websites could get by with old-school designs. Most people could get by without constant watfhing high-definition videos. Arguably, we're at a point where mobile…

I think you do these things because subconsciously you know it'll make a great Jalopnik story. If only you had a third level of consciousness that could do the cost/benefit analysis

I disagree; it looks like what you might draw if you were ruining a car for fun. I get that ugly hasn’t been purposefully done for awhile, I get that contrast is good design...but why make the contrast that of 95% well-designed car with 5% purposefully jugly (janky/ugly) design? The orange version is literally so…

In all my years working at Starbucks, Karens made up less than 5% of the customers. And they are super easy to deal with once you figure them out (just imagine a more easily satisfied, less crafty conperson). I’m just getting tired of hearing that damn term because it means pop culture is so lazy. I swear, I got…

Office coffee is super variable, isn’t it? Some places have a good coffeemaker, some don’t. Good, fresh beans? Most people wouldn’t know the difference. Even working at a Starbucks for 7 long years (smdh) quality was noticeably different when some people made it (incorrectly), the roast was different, or maintenance…

No, I’m not talking about the negative effects of caffeine withdrawal, though that’s a real if temporary thing that can really screw with people. No, I’m talking about the noticeable boost in productivity that workers have when they drink caffeine. While I bet that boost is less noticeable as each worker becomes more r…

It's essential in that many workers need coffee to get going for their day. I think most businesses would not like to see what their staffs look like without their coffee. Productivity would go dowwwwn.

If it's more than 5 items, get out and order inside. 

Starbucks shares the tips out of a pool that’s distributed by hours worked.

Just ask how much it will be. If it’s too high, don’t do it.

I worked at Starbucks for too long. I even worked at one of the busiest drive thrus in the country, and some of this is overblown. It’s a job that should be a stepping stone to something else. It can be really hard, especially in poorer communities where the company runs a REALLY tight ship in order to maximize…

I’ve always found looking at the road while I’m driving and stepping on the brake pedal as needed to be the safest way to avoid injuring fake children in a traffic collision

It’s interesting how Musk responds to criticism when it comes from someone with enough knowledge and expertise. 

What about the general category of “lifted pickup trucks”? I’m sure they’re great for their drivers, but for everyone else on the road they are giant piles of dogshit

The answer is GTI. Just look up the MK7 model year with the best reliability (2016 was good), and get one of those. A white or silver 4-door with plaid seats was pretty ubiquitous at CarMax’s and other used places, but there is a chip shortage right now ya know?

Why don't yall leave en masse for Defector? I'd resubscribe to them if y'all did that

I wouldn’t say it’s hideous, but it’s strange that people only have nice things to say when some aspects of the style are clearly meh

Jeeze it looks like Mark got a little excited...
