What happened to people just letting things slide at work?

The problem is that American Airlines doesn’t have a dress code. They’ve got vague words about things that aren’t OK, and that’s not the same thing. If they said that men needed a jacket and tie, and women needed a dress (of whatever length) and/or a suit with appropriate hosiery, that’s dickish and no one would fly…

I wish that we’d replaced the EV tax credit (which is only useful for people who buy new cars, and is increasingly rewarding EV laggards rather than supporting EV makers) with a much more generous charger tax credit, available to homeowners, landlords, and commercial property. (In a perfect world, the chargers would…

Renting can be a great option if 5-10% of your driving is really different from the other 90%, though I’d say that a carshare actually loses some of the fun, since you can now get rent some really fun vehicles: Weekend getaway somewhere nice looking? Get the sports car you wish you always had. Weeklong camping trip…

It’s the guts of the i3 stuffed into the shell of a Cooper, so your experience is probably a pretty accurate gauge for how the Cooper SE will drive.

I’m sorry, this thing looks like it’s at least 50% larger than the Smart or iQ. As a point of comparison, at 3,895mm long and 1750mm wide, its actually a little bit bigger than the 3rd gen Honda Civic.

On one hand, that’s true, on the other hand, output is output, and she’s been the one that’s put the ball in the back of the net the past couple matches.

Part of it is the way she’s been mobbed when she gets the ball, but I agree that she hasn’t really been that effective.

The De’Longhi 3-in-1 Portable AC 350 Sq. Ft is $210 and should be more than enough for a 12" x 12" apartment bedroom.

Banks shouldn’t be able to discriminate between customers based on anything other than legal action or customer behavior that harms the bank (such as defaulting on loans or writing checks that won’t clear repeatedly). We should have learned that lesson a long time ago - banks have discriminated against (legal) immigran…

Well, a lot of investigations would probably involve eye witness reports corroborated by evidence from security/other cameras - an eyewitness might see a crime that security cameras don’t, so to find the suspect, the police would have to try to track them down, which they might try to do by looking at security camera…

Is there any reason that the system categorizes anything as binary, when they’re inherently probabilistic systems? (That is: This person is a 99% match for who you’re looking for, or a 78% match, or whatever else.)

The EcoSport (neither particularly ecologically friendly, nor sporty, nor is it large enough to echo inside...) is Exhibit A in why I think Ford’s decision to quit selling cars was made like, the week before an earnings call so that execs would look like they “had a plan” to get out of the doldrums they’ve been in.

The best summary of late 90s/early aughts sports culture is the opening seconds of Basketball, where they go over team moves: “The Minnesota Lakers moved to LA, where they don’t have any water, and the New Orleans Jazz moved to Utah, where they don’t allow music.”

The real issue here is that the nature of the foul isn’t disclosed by the officials after the VAR. By most accounts, the issue is that the ball seems to have come off of Gauvin’s arm, which isn’t allowed regardless of intent as of this year.

That’s not true as of this year: No goal is allowed if it comes off the hands or arm of the scoring player, regardless of whether there’s an intentional motion or if the player was in a natural position.

Plus, what does it matter? England got the win, they get to move on to play Norway, and from there, either France, Spain or the US, where they’re not likely to encounter such behavior again. They might not play Cameroon again for many, many years, so criticizing Cameroon isn’t helpful.

How’s asking someone about a issue in their sport that’s garnered national attention a “trap?”

They also don’t depend on their MNT paychecks for any meaningful part of their compensation, whereas the women do.  The metaphor would be more like asking a NFL player if they think that college players should get paid than asking a Mets player about their own front office.

Sure, but what if it was an organization you volunteer for instead of your day job? The paychecks the guys get from the MNT is a rounding error in their annual compensation (and even then, the visibility/sponsorship they get from serving on the MNT is probably worth far more than the game checks.)
