“At Will” states can fire people because the boss doesn’t like their tie. “Right to Work” states make union membership and dues voluntary while still forcing the union to negotiate for non-paying non-members.

Along with Ortiz, the UAW says “several pro-union employees have come forward with copies of their performance reports, which show no areas of concern.”

Sigh... the age-old ‘union workers are lazy’ gambit. Hey, how about you go fuck yourself?

So your disability is a need to polish your own ego by stating facts that make you appear clever.

No one gives it a second look because it screams “teenage co-eds first car.”

yup. Definitely a factory sleeper car. You’ll see all the Focus RS, Civic Type R and other similar cars being pulled over by the cops while you just drive by without them even looking at you.

Wow. Strong response to a bike article.

So then, don’t spend more than $200 on a bike. It’s still (as of this morning) a free country.

I realize its not what this article is about, but if you get into any sort of mountain biking, anything from wal-mart or less than $600 is junk and will fall apart constantly and endanger you. Typical mid-range mountain bikes are in the $2-3k range.

I feel kinda sad for you.

The story’s title refers to a “horrible stick bug” which seems completely at odds with the measured, academic tone of the article. Does Gizmodo deliberately editorialize titles to attract readers simply looking for a little gross-out factor?

Possibly the best line:

I just read her story in the article you linked and feel like this win superfluous. She’d be a winner even if they were dead last. What a person. What a story. I think someone is chopping onions around here. Betty; You’re a hero!

Heh. It’s going to be funny* to watch 4,000 R&M fans threaten to rape your family because you called it Rick & Marty. 

“There are worse horror stories, too; people are reporting fights breaking out, lines blocking traffic...” people driving for 40 minutes and then spending an hour in line...

Everyone is removing the headphone jack, no one is bothering to imporove wireless audio.

the 1st amendment only protects you from the government, not your employer. Not sure why so few people can understand that.

So you never experienced the era — the 70s — when oft-times there was no petrol (for combustible engines)?

What!? Tesla and their messiah Musk didn’t make the list?

I’m guessing maybe they are taking advantage with a trailer to put some framework up and get a pitot tube array going? It would give them a good idea of how the aero of the truck could be improved.
