It’s just so exhausting to have to explain this over and over, isn’t it? The entire g-d point of having something like AM radio around is that cell phones won’t fucking work during a true disaster/emergency, yet people keep shouting “yOu CaN juSt dO iT On YOuR PHoNe!!! It’s as ridiculous as someone arguing that it’s…

I’m of the firm belief that AM radio is important and to be preserved. Not everyone has a cell phone, not everyone has access to reliable charging and reliable income to pay the monthly bill, but everyone needs access to information on severe weather or other disasters. Plus, as union-hardrolls pointed out, AM radio…

Technologically, AM radio is probably the cheapest, most robust way to reach the most people quickly.

AM radio turns any night behind the wheel into a trip.

I agree 100000000% with you my friend!

That is a good way to wear your ankles as earrings if you are in an accident. Do you want to see what the soles of your feet look like up close, if the answer is no then don’t put your feet on the dash. Plus it is just clatty. 

Ouch. Family sucks. 

Keeps trying to give me directions, when I already know where I’m going, then asks why I didn’t follow their directions. Worse, tells me to take turns when it is too late to indicate and decelerate safely. It just stresses me out.

Shame. Beautiful and historic ship. Shame about the environment too. Seems like a bum move from the former owner... 

After the ship’s sinking, Willson claims he no longer owns the Aurora.

Randomly pull the parking brake.  

It is a tie between the overnight train, i.e. the cheap train [for at the time British Rail had not yet been privatised and could run cheap trains], from Glasgow to London back in the eighties. Full of unemployed young people heading down south to seek a job somewhere that still had industry. And had an all night bar…

Hot water is no fucking joke. You can look up scold charts that tell you how long skin needs to be in contact with a water of a certain temperature to receive what kind of burns. Above 155F, first degree burns are instant and 3rd degree and it only takes 1 second for a permanent 3rd degree (the worst). 180F is the…

This. Those burns were horrific. And the lady originally just wanted them to cover her medical bills. When McDonalds refused, she was forced to lawyer up and take them for everything she could.  And McDonalds deserved it for being recalcitrant shitheads.

That whole McDonalds story is a tremendous example of how a corporation would prefer to dump money into PR than actually do the right thing after they screw up because they deemed the PR cheaper. 

Before anyone says anything about the frivolity of the McDonald’s case, go look at the pictures. 

Bingo, he’s going to order another “employee audit” and fire everyone who doesn’t pledge fealty to his perverse politics.

...Yet. Until Mr. Freespeech starts siccing his internal “security” team on them to investigate, doxx, and fire them.

WELL

It wasn’t engineers who demanded electric door openers, they’re just the poor bastards who have to try to find ways to execute Musk’s “genius” ideas.
