It’s also a pretty standard margin for most retail stores as well. 30-40% at that scale isn’t surprising at all.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone was saying bald or sanded down tires would be good. If the tires were supposed to be groved but no longer are, those tires are WAY beyond their expected life and need to be changed. The rubber compounds are different than actual slicks and bald tires will never provide adequate traction even with the increased contact patch. Slick tires are completely different.

Have you heard of summer tires, snow tires or all seasons?

The tires on my car can only be used in temps above 45° and honestly at 45-50° it’s extremely sketchy until they get warmed up. They’re also terrible in the rain and really only meant for warm weather and dry days.

You also wouldn’t want to run full snow tires in the summer.

So passenger cars absolutely have tires meant for different conditions

It probably has less to do with how smart the MBTAs IT team is and more likely how much the MBTA is willing to spend on IT.

What do you mean? iMessage is fully end to end encrypted.

As far as google messages RCS goes, that’s googles proprietary version of RCS.

This is it exactly. Was a product manager and this is exactly the issue I faced with devs that had no real world usage experience.
