I thought they already do, by essentially covering most of the costs

Like they ever did? No business losing billions EVERY quarter has a fucking clue what they are doing. The ones that survive only do so because enough money was shoveled into the hole to finally fill it up.

Bwhahahaahahahaahaha! This will not end well for Uber. The labor shortage is real.

All aboard the good ship THORCULES!

I mean, who hasn’t gotten drunk and trapped themselves in a barrel, than had a friend drown trying to rescue them?

1975 would be the last Apollo capsule missions in earth orbit: Skylab (1974) and Apollo-Soyuz.

In... fairness?, astronomy in general is a blind spot for J! contestants. They went 2/5 in that category, including not knowing Webb uses a mirror...after -showing a picture of the mirror-

uber was good pre pandemic, now its a crap shoot. Not nearly as good as they were and now they want to LIMIT drivers and not add more. Sounds like the CEo and board are panicking about the stock price and have NO IDEAS WTF they are doing.

And everything that costs the company money will be on the table...except executive salaries and perks.

Troll 2 isn’t “so bad it’s good.” It’s just BAD.

Just make sure that you know your local laws before doing this. In some places this type of fire requires a permit or is just plain illegal. It’s illegal where I grew up but isn’t where I live now (only about a dozen miles away).  So, YMMV.

Those may be the most freelanacer-friendly cities if you are a MALE freelancer.  Much less so if you are female.  None of those states are friendly to women’s rights.  No woman who might ever need reproductive health care should move to any of them.

Lol, something that made me chuckle was one of the notable features of Memphis is no state income tax, but that is also true for Texas, yet is not listed ;P Public transportation in both Dallas and Houston are NOT that great, except maybe if you’re only living in or near downtown.

The picture: we all see it, right?

Oh Gwen Ihnat, I am going to miss you. Loved your work, love Columbo too. I’d forgotten how flat-out enjoyable the show is until it showed up on... I don’t know Peacock maybe? Anyway some site has the whole run. I must have seen every one at least once on the original broadcast run, and I had a theory that there

Honestly, I was more of a Jim Hutton as Ellery Queen kinda kid. He was a bit more Encyclopedia Brown to me, but then I segued right into Rockford Files so :/

It's a shame how the powers that be have gutted this site so badly.

Stop using composite wood, they’re major fire hazards and terrible for the environment

Just came here to add to the Nigella love! I know a lot of folks know her as a "TV chef" but her writing is so lovely, warm and witty - worth checking out her old NYT columns if you have access to the archives.

HOT, Composite decking can get REALLY hot in the sun. It also retains the heat longer than wood decking.
