Yes, 100% this, and just to expand on the “farmers market” bit, what you’re looking for is local, unprocessed honey from as near where you live as possible, not something in the grocery store trucked in from elsewhere. Honey made by local bees is made out of the same local plants that cause your allergies. Eating a…

Maybe next time, we don’t put links to this morons Twitter, giving him even more views, and thus, inspiring him to do it more in the future? The biggest insult you could inflict on a loser like this would’ve been to ignore him.

Especially since adding regenerative braking adds almost no weight or complexity. If electric motorcycles have adjustable regen, there’s no reason not to include it in a lightweight car.

To save weight and complexity, it’s possible the car won’t even have modern amenities like regenerative braking

Sure you can, it just costs money. There are companies that specialize in doing this very thing - taking companies with large, shitty networks and upgrading them step by step to minimize and reduction in service.

The big issue with industries like this and banks is that they can’t just shut everything down for a week or so to install a new system so their systems are a piecemeal patchwork mess of things stitched together and the people working on it today were not the ones that started with it. We will see many more of these I…

My wife and I learned a long time ago that we don’t really enjoy gambling.  We went to a casino, spent about $20 each found it stupid and dumb and decided to go to the buffet instead.   

I believe him too, and I think that this judge is a fucking prick - abusing power and threatening jail time over a small matter of etiquette. This idea that citizens (even those charged with crimes) need to supplicate themselves before the bench is corrosive. A judge is a public servant - this behavior is shameful,…

FYI, the report of $14k a week referenced is very misleading. This is NOT for drivers. This company employs IC’s who provide their own tractor (and sometimes even their own trailer depending on the company). Even at that the $14k a week is likely a stretch and very manipulated (ie: including fuel…

The Jalop solution to every problem is a wagon with an oddball engine that nobody but a car geek would put up with.

Bill’s reasoning is sound, and yet, personally, I would never hit a woman. Sure, I’m sexist. Sure, I’m a chauvinist dinosaur. But my Nana will rise up out of her grave and hand me my ass if I ever break that rule. It’s just easier to walk away.

Take your star and get out of here

Well of course you can’t revoke the easement by Fiat. There’s no way you could fit it in there. Even the 500X is too small.

Well done. People don’t value their own time enough. I feel for the people out there who lost out on so many precious hours of life commuting.
The length of commute (in time, not distance) directly relates to personal happiness.

Its like they invented JIT as a trap for other companies.

When did the Morning Shift become Bloomberg?  I really just want to hear about the fun cars.  Maybe reserve like, one gear a day to financials?

First Gear: One of the reasons Toyota is doing well is because they learned from previous natural disasters and stockpiled resources like chips. It might be a lesson for other companies - the company that pioneered just-in-time logistics planned ahead and stockpiled parts so it wouldn’t be at the mercy of just-in-time…

I will be off for the next two days and hence there will be no NPOND on Thursday or Friday. 

Toyota New Zealand did something about this. They turned their sales model upside down. Franchise dealers no longer hold stock. Toyota NZ holds the stock. Demonstrators are owned by Toyota. Prices are fixed. You want a Corolla, its $25k. No negotiation. The dealers exist to service and act as sales agents. When they…
