The problem is liability, and being able to find aninsurance company that will insure you. Remember, we live in a very litigious society, where people sue for getting burned by a cup of hot coffee, or sue McDonalds for getting them fat.

I’ve always wondered about the existance of these types of businesses. I thought the reason I didn’t see them is because they probably had enormous insurance requirements and to cover high liability costs.

3rd Gear: The UAW Could Strike Tonight

#4 - Everyone is freaking out about VW cheating, the cars polluting so much etc. I’ve mentioned this on this one before but it bears repeating - cars are so damn clean now that it’s fucking ridiculous, and the gov’t just keeps turning the screws.

So, a company that determines how much of a financial risk you are just made you a bigger financial risk... That’s some 1984-level ridiculousness.

A tier 2 who’s been on the job for 2 years in Toledo is probably at $24 an hour, well above median income for the region.

Current fuel prices will be the norm - barring a major catastrophe - for many many years so those jeep buyers aren't the stupid ones.

“We built 5,111 vehicles last year in Toledo and we got a catered meal of hot dogs and hamburgers as our thanks,” said Phil Reiter, 44, who has been working at the Toledo, Ohio manufacturing plant for two years. conveniently forgetting to mention the wages, health benefits, and pension plan also given to them by the…

The point of two-tier wasn’t to be ‘fair’ it was to reset the wages downward. That was the goal from the beginning.

Or just spatchcock your chicken and roast it in about the same amount of time, or less depending on the size of the bird.

This reminds me of my absolute favorite episode of Good Eats, Three Chips for Sister Marsha.

It’s the waist strap for a back protector.

I’m procrastinating from a biochemistry exam study right now. Funny enough this is a topic on the exam. The browning of the fruit is due to an oxidation reaction with the enzyme tyrosinase. In order to prevent the reaction one must either remove oxygen or denature the enzyme. Oxygen is most efficiently removed by…

It’s an irony that the people most likely to distrust big Pharma for being part of a multi-billion dollar industry are the ones most likely to trust sellers of herbal supplements, who are part of a multi-billion dollar industry with no controls on it.

Force a settlement in a civil lawsuit, probably.

I knew that salting the eggplant drew out some of the water, but I didn’t realize that the goal was to remove bitterness. I thought it was just better for there to be less water in the eggplant when cooking. All those salty minutes wasted.

Media people who talk about “legacy” are just lazy. You’re pretty much saying “I have nothing thoughtful to contribute, so I’m going to guess what people are going to think about this in 10 years”. It’s completely unproductive and 100% speculative bullshit.

Nine days from the start of the NFL season, we have no idea whether the Super Bowl MVP will play on opening night due to an impossibly convoluted and drawn out process with regards to the air pressure of footballs in a blowout. Somehow the NFL, which I swear was once really good at messaging and handling the media,…

this. I guess I was dumb for expecting it be an suv. this isn’t an suv in any way shape or form its just a bloated model S and a very ugly one at that

If you get out of your race car on an active race track an walk INTO THE PATH of another race car with the intentions of starting a fight with the driver and you get hurt, it is YOUR fault and YOUR fault alone.
