This is Project 2025's big move. They NEED a strong president to be able to unilaterally make the changes they want to create their fascist utopia. It doesn’t matter that Biden is president now or if he wins this November; eventually a Republican will be president again and then it’s all over UNLESS people get their…

So true. I used to have a G/O tab permanently open, but recently I forgot to check Jalopnik and Gizmodo (the only two G/O sites I still look at) for three weeks and I didn’t even notice. There’s simply little reason to visit anymore. They sold off the good sites, turned off comments on others, and routinely screw…

VC and PE destroy every industry they touch. My (private, employee-owned) engineering firm in the past 2 weeks interviewed two mid-career engineers fleeing their company after PE took ownership and ruined the work environment.

Just a heads up for tourists to Australia.

I doubt it will play out this way, but it would be great if they would put all their all-caps alphabet soup Chinese drop ship brands on this other platform.

Having a hard time making sense of this: “tipped positions don’t get a minimum wage exception” — ok, so far so good — “so the employer wouldn’t be forced to pay the difference” — that doesn’t make sense as their is “no difference.” 

I had to look up what suicide by proxy is. In early modern Europe a lot of depressed women who had been taught that suicide was a sin that would condemn them to hell instead committed homicides (often of infants) so that the state would have to execute them & they could repent & go to heaven. History is some sick shit 

Yeah, I’d like to know that too. My guess, based on it being Texas, is that he was awarded a plaque from the city or something.

Looks ready to twerk.

Of these, I’ve only seen Prey and Pearl, both I liked a lot. I would say Hannibal seasons 1-2 would qualify as an amazing prequel, covering new ground that’s only referenced in the books and films at best, and season 2 I’d argue is better than any of the movies.

I, for one, would prefer a sound loss all around. Some sort of incalculable, humiliating landslide. Sadly, I think your outcome is more likely. 

I just think this was method acting. Jimmy Pesto would totally do 1/6

I was with Jack in the Box IT at the time. It was actually a promising concept (employees could concentrate on getting your food prepared correctly, interact with in-store customers better, etc.). There were technological challenges though - the order takers had to interact with our point-of-sale registers remotely,…

The stock engine and transmission mounts are ridiculously soft - awesome from an NVH standpoint and for general driving around town. But they just can’t cope with the torque these cars have. Easily solved with uprated engine mounts from a company like 034, and/or an uprated pendulum mount/insert. But I also…

If you read about his personal life, this dude had horseshoes in both pockets.

Anecdotal for sure - but in my experience the reading on my Suburban is pretty much in line with what my phone is getting from the weather service apps for the local I am in.

That was a common choice at that time and place for a frugal trim of a Japanese car that would never leave the sea-breeze and fog belt. Taking it even as far as the Inland Empire at this time of year, never mind crossing the deserts en route to your neck of the woods, should be worth comp time in purgatory. I think it…

The A/C and radios in these were dealer installed options. We bought an 88 new (base DX) and splurged for the A/C. First thing I did was install an Alpine head unit. My Ex got the car and put over 300,000 miles on it in the Northeast!!! Midas replaced the exhaust multiple times under the unlimited warranty! The driver…

I work in pizza delivery, and the vast majority of our orders come in online now. You would think people would check various things before they click their order button, but they manage to screw up nearly every aspect of their order, and then get upset when it’s wrong, or when they fail to provide the correct address…

It’s almost like all of this AI is not actually able to do the things they claim it can, and may never actually be able to, and shouldn’t actually be replacing people in any capacity until it can actually do the things the hype claims it can.
