Over the course of many many years I have only experienced two women attempting to negotiate salary after the offer is made - any idea why? Maybe half the male applicants push on salary, then when the salary discussion is over they push for extra vacation and perks. The women just don’t do that - I’m legitimately

Yeah it’s just a big chunk of change for what amounts to a low end microphone. Yes, if you have a sound studio and a noise controlled environment, a condenser mic is great. Most people, sitting at home with the AC on are probably better off with a dynamic.

Just as a heads up to anyone looking into this, it’s not always a fan of rechargeables. Using normal eneloops it constantly says low battery, if you use high voltage rechargeables it stops complaining.

Acoustics in the cave aren’t that great though.

An honest question - isn’t categorizing businesses by the gender of the owner still sexism or gender discrimination?

Probably unpopular opinion, but the yeti does not deserve to be as popular as it is. Most people want one because they saw one in somebody’s twitch stream.

I know my states lemon law stuff pretty well so I just documented and documented until the requirements were met :)

I don’t know if the reason’s the same here, but if you walk past literally any 500 abarth, the paint above the logo will be cut because it’s very sharp on the back and the factory paint is garbage. Mine was repainted 4-5 times (entire front fascia) before fiat bought it back. I miss the car, but I do not miss dealing

Its hard to get people to take buses, autonomous single-cars would be a much easier sell to get people used to the idea.

Specifically in cities - mass transit is going to be a tough sell, so being able to hail a self-driving car would be a good first stop. With machine learning route planning its going to be more efficient anyways. I’d bet the anticipated loss of time would fail to manifest.

I personally am not afraid of self driving cars, I just don’t see the point of *owning* one. City-provided self driving electrics make more sense in an urban setting - have “distribution centers” seeded all throughout a city. You need a ride? Fire up the car summoning app and a self driving car arrives to take you to

... but i get the feeling you at least know what I mean about the window regulators, am I right? :P

pretty meticulous about maintenance, spreadsheets for every vehicle I own, ~6 months worth of consumables for each car on-hand in the garage. 2 mk5's and a mk6, it’s usually electrical issues or crap like plastic intake manifolds coming apart causing catastrophic issues. I wouldn’t whinge if I caused it :P

I don’t mind out of warranty cars, it’s specifically VW’s. 3 cars, 3 ridiculous *chains* of oow repairs. A single instance of an expensive oow repair wouldn’t leave me jaded, but strings of expensive repairs do. I think it’s just down to how some aspects of newer VW’s are over engineered, so a failure increases load

I’ve owned enough newer VW’s to confidently state, I will never own another out of warranty VW, excluding pre-1973. They’ve all been fine up until they weren’t, then things tended to get expensive quickly. 

Oh I know, I’ve no interest in owning one at all - but if they’re going to pack it full of obtuse gadgetry they have to do *something* to teach people how to use it. Tesla’s tesla, so their demographic won’t read instructions, and the current new owner experience blows, so... putting how to’s on the screen that’s

The service centers get hammered with people that don’t know how anything works, because the delivery process at present is poo. They spend like 5 minutes teaching you how to use the car then you’re on your own. There’s a giant-ass screen in the middle of the dash, it seems it’d be easy enough to include links for

My friend worked at a service center in a higher-level position, with best numbers in the region. Randomly, a manager from another service center walked in, took him and his supervisor into a meeting and terminated them for “performance reasons”, and as long as they signed paperwork it was made clear they’d get 2

It’s just Disney disease - once they locate a marketable property they monetize it into the ground. Iron Man was great, it just feels like the newer marvel movies are there to appeal to children and dumber audiences :shrug: it’s like a burger thats all bun and no beef. It wouldn’t be so bad if they would simply
