That’s what happens when someone forgets to lock the dieselgate.

You are an idiot.

A few years ago I had a loaner Camry for a couple weeks. It was a lower spec model. Was it exciting to look at or drive? No.

They had a CARD CATALOG. It made my history-degree-having heart glad.

I think the best thing in the show is how they didn’t dumbed down the hassle of investigation to make the story move, she still had to do some real research to get information, any other show would have had the geek/hacker guy bashing the keyboard and done

I have worked on many infrastructure project, and this is not true, we usually have many bidders very interested on federal and state funded projects.

Thank you Mr. Tracy for inspiring me to look up unimogs when I should be studying. Now on my Chemistry quiz when I’m asked how many kilometers is 15,000 decimeters, I’m going to answer “more than a unimog will ever go in super-gear speed

Working with people less competent and more highly paid is annoying enough for women...

Agreed. I didn’t agree with the memo 100%, but it’s crazy how he was made out to be this monster. I don’t know the guy, but I certainly wouldn’t jump to that extreme conclusion about him just based on this one paper.

This is one of the most ignorant myths these days. The fuel pump draws in fuel from the bottom of the tank all the time. That’s how all fuel tanks work. There are also usually three levels of filtering of fuel by the time it hits the injectors.

If there’s no one around to notice is it also ok to kill someone? Or rob a bank?

People with gas cars park in EV charging spaces all the time, though.

Nice try BMW owner.

The TI-83 landed me in the principals office, for learning of all things.

As a relatively recent (2013) grad of an engineering related program, I can tell you that even though their pricing is bullshit, graphing calculators are still the best there is at what they do. Where the graphing calculator isn’t up to snuff, you’re likely to see Fortran or Matlab rather than smartphone/tablet apps.

There is no room for reasoned debate with unreasonable positions.

Regardless of whether his views were “right” or “wrong” (especially since “right” and “wrong” are so often subjective), all Google did accomplish by firing him is prove they are guilty of that which he accused them of: Being/fostering an “echo chamber” on this issue.
