So, is this a case of a rich, bleached-out boomer getting unnecessarily spicy because he found out that the rules of a signed contract applied to him

AAA and the insurance companies share some of the same problems. They are low ball contracts, and many without time / performance guarantee. So, that same Tow company will put your tow at the end of whatever list they have, and run the most profitable tows first. (Tow removal of vehicles to company lot (lot fees) and…

I do freelance artwork and get paid in installments as the pages progress. If I’ve finished what I have been paid for then I stop that project and then move onto another one until that first person pays me for the next chunk of pages to be done. Then I get back onto their job until the next time their money is due.

San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos apparently lost his last election, so he’s depending on “qualified immunity” to get away with whatever he wants to as there can be no consequences to him. He had 40 years in and was soundly trounced by his opponent, Christina Corpus, earlier this year. I can’t tell when he…

Progress payments. At various stages there is an amount due to compensate for that work before further work is started. Stop paying for progress and the builder stops progressing. The whiner was 8 months behind on payments so he’s now at the back of the line to those who aren’t 8 months behind. Paying up only meant…

Welcome Gawker Gizmodo Media Group. A lot of these bloggers jobs is to find something to be irrationally offended by. Really the only ones who (kinda) avoid this are Jalopnik and Gizmodo itself.

As for this piece, it certainly feels like reaching for something that isn’t there

Sounds like the realtor has been giving the Sheriff a few ‘favors’ to get this kind of treatment.

They really are just a gang with a badge.

What a bizarre interpretation of this movie. I watched it over the weekend, and all I saw was a young woman who felt invisible and unspecial, and made a stupid mistake which led to a series of poor decisions. She was genuinely annoying and unlikable, but there was nothing presented about “white entitlement” or…

I work with extremely rich boomer car guys every single day, and I firmly believe that a good 50-60% of them would fail to see the issue with this. I know the shop was emailing this guy constantly to try and get payment from him, they probably called him multiple times, but he didn’t recognize the number so he just…

Well, rules are different for the Mob.

Did I miss something?  Does the concept of “jurisdiction” just not exist anymore?  How the hell do California cops have any authority to do anything in Indiana?

This is on my watch list. Back in my day we just lied about normal things like our cousin dying from poprocks or being related to Six from Blossom.

So I’ve never subscribed to something like AAA. I’ve needed a car towed a few times in the 19 years I’ve been driving, and each time I just call a tow company, and they come get me. Easy Peasy

I had to look it up, so here it is:

I hired Tom to find me an Elantra back in early 2021. Did he save me the whole cost of his fee? Maybe, it was probably about a wash. But he definitely saved me a ton of bullshit. In the current market, which is far worse now, sell your car for cash, and hire a pro to find what you’re looking for. That’s the real tip. 

I hope it’s very good at verifying BOTH the driver and the Rider, and also making sure that is the person driving/making the request at all times. It actually sounds like an app that could specifically lure women into unsafe situations.

Next, you should look up the estimate for incidents versus what gets reported (hint, assault has a super low reporting rate). After that, feel free to share where you believe the cut off for an acceptable number of assaults is without causing a systematic change.

I also love how so many of you are going to disagree with a guy who literally does this for a living.....

That plague the major ride hailing apps
