They had to suffer that beautiful view. Tsk tsk tsk.

Biblically accurate snow angels.

They don’t need AI to say your character’s name, text to speech works for that.

I said “also” because they need to lose everything AND go to jail. You said that jail wouldn’t help.

Gut-wrenchingly awful. The senior people responsible need to lose their livelihoods, pensions, life savings, homes and good names.

They also need to spend some time in jail.

Or the main antagonists are neo nazis…

“Objection!”

I ended up getting a spare belt handle to plug into my last car’s passenger seat so it didn’t ding when my dog was there as the belt in an empty seat got in his way. It also dinged for a heavy backpack, groceries, and pretty much anything over 10 lbs because the sensor was really sensitive. I didn’t disable it entirely because it should go off if a person sat there, just pulled the thing out and set it aside.

Would have done the same for low speed frequent stops when not on roads like those examples too.

The tools is good advice most of the time, but not if the tool would fail dangerously. Don’t skimp on car jacks, table saws, or other things that are likely to injure you if they fail.

Screwdrivers/drills/hammers/crowbars/etc. don’t need to be expensive if you are going to use them rarely as the professional grade is mostly about being used all day every day and being able to survive rough handling by tired workers.

Yup, and just like the sub Tesla did multiple things that were substandard because they worked in controlled environments and even worked ok the real world for a short time before failing.

It’s like car features that have been around for 70+ years are the way they are for a reason.

Where did you get the idea that wanting reasonable wages before tips means I hate servers?

Learn to read.

Drivers on their phones are more responsible for avoiding pedestrians than pedestrians are for trying to avoid vehicles since vehicles are large and deadly and supposedly require a license to drive. In addition to that, a pedestrian on a phone will be moving relatively slow compared to a distracted driver, and it is far easier to avoid hitting a pedestrian than it is to avoid getting run over by a car moving at an unsafe speed.

Drivers are always at fault unless a pedestrian leaps in front of them intentionally or the sidewalk is close enough to traffic that tripping and falling would end up in the path of a vehicle. The latter would be the fault of the street design if an attentive driver hit a pedestrian.

We can look at the US to see exactly what the outcome was before Obamacare. It is still awful, but it was even worse then.

A reasonable tip ensures that someone will accept your order. Nobody is forced to go pick your food up.

I member when restaurants employed drivers that actually delivered reliably without needing to bid for their attention first. Hard to forget since I was one of them!

Hourly pay was regular minimum wage instead of the server level chump change, and when using my own car I received an amount for wear and tear + gas. So in my case tips were actual tips on top of a living wage and even if nobody had tipped it would have been an alright job.

I can’t imagine trying to do the same thing for only tips.

If someone tips a set amount regularly they can easily plan ahead.

A reasonable required base level of pay for service is necessary before a tip is showing appreciation.

Whoopsie!

Netflix punished me, who does not share a password, by making it impossible to sign into a TV while on a trip because it wasn’t at my ‘home location’ without switching the location. That isn’t an option when the rest of the family is still at home and wants to watch too.

Plus Netflix had already said that sharing a password was cool with them, so it was a reversal of something that they were completely fine with when it was increasing their market share…

That has been the internet since it was first created.
