I was wondering if the Lordstown execs would get Golden Parachutes, but given that this is Foxconn, they’ll get Golden Suicide Nets instead

Foxconn weaseling out of their contracts and obligations?

Surely everyone in Wisconson is absolutely shocked at this news.  

Yeah, of all that, this line really jumped out at me:

The original linked article is really good. This is where my extended family live (Springfield/Joplin area). It’s not surprising to me that the woman describes herself as Christian and prolife, and then was surprised that she struggled to get care for a miscarriage/medical emergency, that a Christian crisis pregnancy…

It really is. The Apple Reality Distortion Field is in full force regarding these things.

Mandatory minimum laws are obscene in all instances.

i was going to argue that maybe the mileage is low because it is owned by someone that has several cars, but you’re right. even if you own a bunch of cars to choose from, this one is supposed to be the car you drive most of the time.

The mileage on this car tells you everything you need to know. Less than 2K a year over 14 years on a car that is meant to be a daily driver. That tells you that:

Exactly. Maserati and Aston guys always say if you’re unsure about the seller, check the tires.

DuoSelect?

If the owner went that cheap on the tires, what else have they gone cheap on? ND. 

Interesting.  I tested positive on Saturday.  So far my only symptoms are headache and fatigue.  I still have my taste and smell.

Troll or no troll, major high five to this woman for snatching that name. The smartest thing you could have done in the 90's is buy a domain name and then make a company pay you for it. There’s legitimate businesses around it. Facebook paid somewhere around $200k for their initial domain and then another $8M for the…

Yeah, I can laugh about it now, but my daughter and daughter-in-law were in tears at the time.

Look, it has Ming-Na Wen. So I’m going to watch it regardless.

All I want for Season 2 is much less volleyball. Much, much less volleyball.

To me that is a sign of how well he broke people down. Because, like, any rational person looking at that guy on the doc would not be able to see anything particularly note-worthy (he’s not ugly, or anything, but let’s be real; he’s very average looking), but I guess if this guy has spent ten years telling you that…

Yeah, I would read it as a kid when my parents were done with the magazine, I think she would talk about interesting puzzles sometimes. I know there was a long discussion of the Monty Hall problem (I just checked, and she was explaining it correctly).

“Marilyn vos Savant,” there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. For some reason I instantly thought of Parade magazine. Didn’t she have a column or something?

I wouldn’t say “boring” because it’s actually rather fascinating, but like someone else said, they Netflixed the shit out of it. They s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d it out so much over 9 episodes, when it could just as easily been told in 4, that it seriously tries one’s patience.
