Yeah sorry, started that paragraph in my head and didn’t translate it all onto the page :P

Then negatives, in my experience, are that it makes it impossible to financially incentivize workers that go above and beyond (so they stop doing so), and it makes it hard to punish or terminate people that drag the entire team down. so-and-so about to be fired for never being on time, or can’t ever find them, or work…

Ah, the way that’s mitigated here (in some states) is by the state.

I guess potentially unpopular view, but in my experience it’s made it harder to thank/incentivize good workers and get rid of poor performers. I don’t object to the idea of unions overall, but it *does* afford too many protections to some people that are not carrying their weight. Workers that do little work while on…

I lament a future where we have to deal with weird looking little electric econo boxes zipping around blasting kanye tracks as engine noise.

Losing the ability to just head off into the canyons and spend hours driving around the middle of nowhere is kinda a bummer for me. I’m all for an electric car to drive to work and stuff (maybe even autonomous?) but ever since I lost the ability to ride a motorcycle, blitzing around the canyons in a small turbo car is…

How does it sound?

You swing your head around in circles to make sure your neck still works properly, right?

oof an out of warranty VW as a first car lol

I didn’t even need to do that, I just built little “hats” for my upside down mounted outdoor wyze pan cams out of plexi and black vinyl. Has a hole in the middle with rubber o-rings so it mounts between the threaded 1/4" mount on the camera and the mount attached to the house. Keeps the sun off them in the summer and…

Specifically in Irvine - I guess there were some street racing deaths a while back and since Irvine is pretty crime-free, they seemed to be pulling over anything that appeared to be modified but wasn’t an exotic. Wasn’t just my experience, heard the same from friends. Filing a complaint with the watch commander clears…

need a hatchback/shooting brake!

It sure does suck to be an automotive enthusiast in CA these days.

There’s something enticing about the burbly exhaust, the short wheelbased slightly twitch handling, and the fact you feel like you’ll fall out the window going around tight corners :P

One of these was super helpful for a herniated disc that caused my hands to numb-out. It was the only thing that relieved the pressure and allowed me to relax. Super dorky, a pain in the butt to store at home, but it was totally worth it.

“I don’t need no stinkin back seats - alley oop you’re out of here!”

My abarth was awesome whenever it was working. Sadly, it was a victim of a lack of qualified dealerships to work on it. In 12 months of ownership it was in for service for 8 of them. Repainted several times (that dang front emblem slicing the paint! don’t go look at yours if you value your sanity, black hides it…

But the protective cover does - air’s flammable!

It’s all the airbags.

Remember some people really don’t have anything in their lives more important than being good at a game, though.
