For anything other than a short (i.e., one where I can get away with just the suit I’m wearing) business trip, I have no problem with checking a bag. I’ve never had bags lost, and I’ve never waited very long to check or pick up my bags. The modern overhead-bin drama created by all the “I will die before I check a bag”…

Work Travel: Carry-on only

It pisses me off that every time that incident in mentioned on Jalopnik, the writers constantly leave out the fact that Cruise tried to cover up the incident and deliberately misled investigators. It’s never mentioned in the articles.

But it could go on your credit score

Expanding a little on why Cruise lists its operating license: it seemed less about the collision (which was apparently a hit-and-run driver hitting the pedestrian into the path of the Cruise vehicle) but that it (allegedly) misled regulators about what happened during the incident, how the vehicle behaved, what video…

The 550 Maranello had a leather-wrapped roll cage.

NOT MY PHOTO, just an image search.

Without a massive influx of new building, changes to the laws allowing a lot more multi-family homes, or changes to the laws allowing corporations to own portfolios of single-family homes (we’ve done it before), that “bubble” isn’t bursting any time soon.

Back rear window on the 4Runner. It turns my SUV into a closed cabin pickup. Great for riding open air on the beach.

The problem is that Carbon capture plants produce CO2, which is already one of the most abundant gasses on Earth, and any commercial exploitation of that product would eventually just release it again. When the article says they’re “sequestering it in rock” they don’t mean they’re cracking CO2 into its constituent…

Yeah, it’s the brooding, teeming masses of ignorant brown folks in the global south to blame, not the industrialized world’s rapacious consumption of fossil fuels in industry.

Too bad this is not feasible in most places, as running this facility in a place without Iceland’s geothermal power generation dramatically reduces it’s net carbon reduction.

This becomes clearer everyday. He nailed the timing and initial launch of Tesla, regardless of how he procured the company, he rode that wave to great financial success. The rest has been an utter shitshow. Buying his cousin’s failing solar company with Tesla funding? Killing Twitter? Forcing Cybertruck to happen?…

I feel like 90% of conservative grievance comes from guys who are upset to find themselves getting treated the way our country has historically treated people of color, women and people without any real power.

Let Corben Dallas demonstrate the correct attitude when dealing with la migra:

The amount of discretionary police power given to CBP in that rather arbitrary 100 miles from the border limit is frightening. I live close to the border in Washington, and things here tend to be pretty mellow compared to other places, but the presence is always felt, and I’m told that folks in the Latino community…

Nah, bro. There are times when the cops should be skewered for their actions.

Sounds like you might like German luxury sedans from the 90s/00s!

I don’t mind that my taxes will go towards replacing this bridge, it is a key piece of infrastructure that is vital to the US economy. What Ido mind is that shady contractors and politicians will get rich from it and people living within 2 miles of the bridge who desperately need jobs probably wont see a dime.
