I could easily see a situation where the weather conditions made a canal traversal all but impossible, but the grunts on the pilot crew don’t have the authority to say “No, this ship isn’t going through today”. So they do their best because if they don’t try they will be punished or fired. Malicious compliance.

No, according to them it was a woman Captain/First Officer on a completely different ship 600kms away that was at fault.

No, if anyone is to blame it's Egypt for allowing ships that are clearly too large into the canal. Either they need to widen it or they need to set a size limit, this kind of accident was bound to happen at some point

All of this because he lives in a country where the cost of healthcare would kill him otherwise. This is all great and warm and fuzzy, but let’s not forget that this would not be necessary in a country with a working healthcare system for its citizens. 

Unfortunately, maritime law going back centuries establishes that, while it’s the Suez Canal pilot’s fault that the ship grounded, it’s still the responsibility of the Ever Given’s captain. It may seem unfair, but that’s the way it works.

Yeah that’s like saying it’s your fault that the porter crashed your car when they were driving.

We hold 15 Apartments and that’s kinda how it is. Of course the gains are averaged over every apartment, because some can stay empty for a month or two. But if none pay the rent for a year, money goes out quickly. You don’t keep a reserve of a whole year rent, that just doesn’t make sense. After that, you can’t pay…

My mortgage company allowed me to not pay my mortgage for up to one year (requested and approved in four three-month increments). Which is great because I own one home and it is rented to a tenant. I use her rent to pay my mortgage. As of July 1, everyone has to play catch up and if that means I have to evict her,…

I don’t think this it’s really fair to shame landlords either. Yes there are large real estate firms who manage buildings that can afford to wait for payment, but there are also just regular people who maybe renting out basements or a 2nd property that are struggling without that source of income. 

They can do this without warrants. That's the problem. 

Yeah, no.

I don’t have anything to hide, but my life is none of their business.

Sure, there are no innocent people in prison today based on loosely drawn connections (sketch artist drew a person that looks vaguely like you and you happened to drive by the crime scene in a car that matches the generic black hatchback description they gave) I have nothing to hide either, but they don’t need full…

You must have the special “medical detection vision” that allows you to look at a person and determine if a person is disabled or not. Just an FYI, thanks to Covid the ranks of people who don’t look handicapped but are entitled to use those spaces are skyrocketing.

You are the ONLY person on earth who doesn’t just ground out that wire and make the head unit think that the handbrake is on 24/7. Surprisingly, Android Auto uses the parking brake switch to tell if the car is “moving” instead of your phone’s GPS.

yeah, but disabled people need the spaces close to the door for mobility. eV spaces are just a convenience, and while I don’t advocate for filling them up with ICE cars, let’s not pretend like this is ‘eV discrimination’, you can always find somewhere else to charge. also, not charging money for eV spaces is a…

“When I do see them used I often see a perfectly able person stick a placard on the mirror then waltz on into the store”

I just wanted to add, if you want to mod your car go ahead. If random red accents all over your car makes you happy go for it and who cares what people think. I like doing stupid mods to my van too. I’ve got the super JDM flower shift knob, wheels off a Mazdaspeed3 and I plan to add some sweet $20 underglow. 

I’m sure there are some idiot Libertarians* among them.

The whole “quick, use this actual terrible crime to whip up anti-BLM sentiment” is so gross! What they actually did was horrible! They stole and terrorized living things, and they shot a guy who almost died and is permanently maimed! They planned it in advance!
