In 2006 America switched to low sulfur diesel. This move allowed other nations who had already switched to low sulfur to compete for the diesel produced here. Before the switch, America was a closed market. Now, diesel is priced at the global level.

I believe the proper British term is ‘sacked’.
I considered owning a pinball machine until I saw one opened up to see a dizzying amount of wires and servos. I’m sure the talent pool for pinball machine repairers has dwindled to zero in the last 40 years.
This is as much a logistics problem as it is a cost problem. Carrying larger loads, better scheduling, and less dead-heading will help.
The doors are smashed because the parking brake failed? Did the transmission also fail?
I hope someone will find a use for those “vending machines” after Carvana’s assets are liquidated.
Years ago one of my law professors told the class that not only is the swimming pool an attractive nuisance, but so is the fence surrounding it.
Well, I’m glad someone has plans for Newark.
I have forgotten where I picked up this little tidbit on chilling wine, but here goes:
“There’s a massive talent hole in engineering between 60 and 30 year olds. Hardly anyone is in engineering between these ages. You find engineers with 40 years of experience or less than 10. Hardly anything in between.”
A neighbor has an Echo. It will change your mind.
Except for the “B”, it performs identically to the fob for my 5 year old Cruze. Yes, the trunk release depicts a generic car, but that’s because my Cruze IS a generic car.
There must be a way to repurpose those old built-in phones, but I can’t figure out what. Any ideas?
How many people live around the Salton Sea? If I were them, I would have moved a long time ago and ruminated on the poor decisions that got me there in the first place.
Another boomer here. I don’t know how strong AARP is these days, but 10-20 years ago they were a huge lobbying outfit. Restrictions on elderly drivers were one of their big targets. Compounding AARP with the elderly population of Florida will just result in the status quo.
When King wrote “estimated median earnings of $35,000 to $45,000 per year”, I could tell he is making this shit up and/or has never taken a statistics class ever.
If only you decided to do that 50 mile commute in a sensible, efficient car instead of that F-150 you absolutely HAD TO HAVE.
I consider “Winning Time” more of a business class case study than factual entertainment. Bringing Hollywood to a sport that ran a distant 3rd to football and baseball was a brilliant move. A move that has been emulated by the NFL. Unfortunately, MLB takes its marketing cues from the minor leagues.
“Depending on who you ask, the 747's story starts with the iconic Boeing 707, a plane that kicked the tires and lit the fires of American GLOBAL commercial jet aviation.”
Dr. Freud needs to weigh in on this.
