They settled because getting the idiot out of their hair instantly was more cost effective than fighting and potentially winning a suit against him. Why spend the time and money to fight a case that drags on and on when you can simply rip off the bandaid and be done with it?

How can people read and comprehend the rules, rights, and regulations of air travel that clearly indicate a passenger’s requirement to follow orders then in the same breath say “but United handled the Dao situation entirely the wrong way”?! United’s hands were tied and they did everything by the book in as fair a way…

Sounds like this woman treats her clutch like a fidget spinner! Brakes are for slowing down, stopping, or holding position once stopped. Friction plates and clutch discs are for engaging and disengaging the transfer of drive from the engine to the transmission and wheels. Partially engaging the clutch to rock on a…

No kidding!

It is bad to hold a car on a hill using the clutch. It’s less of a concern about the transmission since the car is in gear and it wouldn’t be putting strain on the transmission (unlike downshifting without properly rev-matching). Engaging and disengaging the clutch to roll back and forth rather than sitting with the…

It’s fine to skip to a higher gear once up to your desired speed assuming the revs won’t drop so low that you lug the engine or stall it out once in the higher gear. For example, After accelerating up to 40mph in 3rd gear it would be safe to skip into 5th because there’s no reason to row through 4th if you’re going…

You are indeed correct. Using the clutch to maintain position on a hill rather than the brake or hand brake results in unnecessary slipping of the clutch and excess wear. The underlying principle of learning the biting point of the clutch from her father’s “golden rule” should be all that was pulled from his wisdom.…

Sure, they understand that risk and choose to take it until lady luck frowns upon them and their vehicle gets stolen. Then what happens? They regret taking that risk and go crying to the police for help who must now use their resources to clean up the mess.

Try reading the article you linked to. Processed cheese is simply cheese with added ingredients to alter the texture and consistency. It’s no less cheese, it’s just been processed to attain the desired characteristics. Cheese plus emulsifiers doesn’t magically mean it’s no longer cheese. There’s emulsifiers in…

It’s cheese with added ingredients to control the texture. Definitely still cheese, just processed more than “real” cheese.

Definitely is still cheese. Just because additional ingredients were added to cheese doesn’t make it fake. It’s just processed to give a more controlled texture.

Flogging a new car with less than 2k miles is the best way to break in an engine, right?

Except the reason the buyback has occurred is primarily due to legality, not due to the environmental impact.

Except it’s been shown that improper hand washing by wiping in circles rather than back and forth in one direction with a dirt free cloth results in more damage than an auto car wash.

Yes, it’s a cyclical situation for both sides due to socialization. Each gender has certain roles expected of them. This is part of what divides labor and sets a role for each parent to take in a nuclear family. For every negative point made about the socialization of women leading to less income, there’s an equal…

Spoken like a true cretin

Yes, there is a ton of research. Although it has been suggested that males can be mistakenly seen as more competent, leading to undeserved enrichment, that is but one of a plethora of reasons for any employee to be paid more than a colleague or to get a raise over a colleague. There are tens and hundreds of legitimate…

Oh I’m well aware. I don’t comment to get out of the greys. I comment because I call bullshit when I see it.

Right, because it is entirely impossible that AJ Vandermeyden is paid less than her coworkers or has not been offered advancement opportunities for any reasons at all other than her gender.
