Yeah, he clearly doesn't know how to force a charge-back.  You have to get stern with them and say the exact words, "this is a fraudulent charge."  No playing nice, no splitting hairs on some of the charge is legit, and if necessary threaten to report to regulatory authorities.  Also, being stern does not mean losing…

I have rented cars literally a couple 1000 times. The number of times I have had a major issue can be counted on the fingers two hand. Yes, it’s annoying when something happens, but it is never insurmountable, and some of those bad things would have happened regardless of whose car I was driving. Like the time my…

This is why credit card chargebacks are a thing. Don’t even fuck around with Hertz, call your credit card bank and let them make the trouble will go away.

Its weird that someone in the Presidents Circle at Hertz couldn’t get this resolved immediately using their hotline. If those clowns didn’t give me an answer I wanted to hear in 5 minutes, I would have called my credit card company. Maybe the Hertz accounting department could explain to American Express why $277 was…

The trailers made the movie look like a lot of fun but I would have never guessed it cost $130m to make.

There are still Episode I Pepsi vending machines out in the world, and people map them out and visit them.  I think that alone speaks volumes.

I mean, it’s a big action comedy with lots of neat looking setpieces, surely it plays better on a big screen right?

I took the time to download the trailer over dialup. The i watched it about 80o times on my 50 lb, 21" CRT monitor. So, yes.

I always forget ‘A Few Good Men’ in my lists of favorite movies.

So, let me get this straight - the generation of Greta Thunburg douches who say they are protecting the planet are dumping trash into the ocean yeah ok - GTFOH. It’s the same woke uneducated, self-entitled generation Z douchebags protesting on college campuses defending terrorists that know less than zero about world…

Only after the 27 8x10 color glossies with the circles and arrows and descriptive paragraph on the back of each one.

Give them shovels and rakes, and implements of destruction.

Partying and littering has an Alice's Restaurant vibe to me. Some community service and a couple of days in jail would be a good lesson. 

“OK, it’s sad about JK Rowling. Now does anyone want to talk about any of the other films I’ve been in? There’s, like, 16 of them. Also, I act in plays and television.”
“Yeah, that’s great. So about Harry Potter...”

I’ll take American cold rolled steel over the Korean stuff.

Exactly. Not just normal kids, but decent actors, with actual careers.

I bet the things breaking on a tesla are orders of magnitude more expensive to repair. and these are rentals that are getting 40-60K miles in a year. 

They’re unloading them BEFORE they have to replace the batteries. Old batteries don’t charge fully to range expectations on the older EVs... This would be a big deal for the customer stranded in the mountains (or swamp)...

It is most likely a combination of tires and repair costs outside of warranty.
