The US is entirely built around car culture. Chances are you don’t get in a car for everywhere you go. In the US getting in a car to go virtually anywhere is unavoidable. This is a tiny percentage we just have so many more car trips per day than most countries.

Edit: fixing counties to countries cause autocorrect.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that remembers scenes from this terrible movie. This was the first thing that came to mind.

There was some article about this a while ago. For Netflix in the US now there is an $8.50 difference in the ad tier and the standard ad free tiers prices. For an example let’s say once a user hits the 50th percentile or higher of hours watched in the ad-free standard tier they would have earned 8.50-??? in revenue from ads if on the ad tier. So half of their ad-free users are losing them profit in this example. It’s that unrestricted top end that is so appealing to them. The more you consume the more ads they show and the more money they make. So this will never stop.

Edit…clarify something

Buddy works in a data center. Ram upgrades on a few racks of servers took him weeks…

Mind you this was with zero downtime. So spin up a server, move the traffic, shut down/swap ram, boot up server, swap traffic back, repeat until you want to cry.

Pass in 04401…sorry 4401 is not a valid zip code. Rage.

That’s a horribly deceiving title. They just stayed remote and made themselves ineligible for promotion.

Business Insider claims it has seen internal Dell tracking data that reveals nearly 50 percent of the workforce opted to accept the consequences of staying remote, undermining Dell's plan to restore its in-office culture.

It's unlikely to be picked up by the Democrat-controlled Senate because of numerous amendments regarding abortion, diversity efforts, and transgender medical treatments.

That seems about right. Tired of bills having all this non related crap shoved into them.

Automatic registration would replace the coming-of-age tradition that all 18-year-old male U.S. citizens experience when they get a card in the mail from Uncle Sam informing them that they're required under threat of criminal penalties to register for the Selective Service.

This ~2 decades ago for me but I have no recollection of this ever happening.

I remember looking at the Prius and it had a solar roof option. I remember reading a MotorTrend article about it. They had to make a lot of assumptions like 12 hours of sun everyday no exceptions and just to break even from the cost of the roof option it would take 5+ years. So not really worth it. You’d be better off just paying for the electricity or putting solar on your house and charging with that.

Edit…words missing

Here’s some good ones.

Anything I can fit in my Miata is not a ‘big load’. Although there are always the people that like to go above and beyond…

I have an album of collected photos of people transporting goofy/large stuff in Miata’s.

Dealerships love to sell cars by monthly payment. Subscriptions fit right into that model. Heated seats are just another $5 a month! So with that monthly payment is only $330 a month….on a 9 year car loan. People will absolutely do this.
