“Buying a new car is worse than keeping an old one” is an incredibly situational phrase that has a million exceptions for so many people.
Yeah, but this still holds a lot of water. More often than not people buy a new car to have a new car or even worse they buy one specificcally because they are misguidedly trying to lessen their carbon footprint.
Not sure why you are having trouble finding support or what anal tugging even is, but looking at Americans at least. They get a new car. On average every 6 to 8 years. A decently maintained car will easily last 11-14 years. If you are finding a better explanation that genralizes than what I described to explain this gap I’d love to hear it
Really? I find putting on a condom is sometimes enough to disrupt the flow. Having a weatibix and a shower seems like a real wrench in any kind spontinanity.
I’d outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don’t have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.
Just to add, you should never have less than 1 full car length per 10mph you’re traveling between you and the car in front of you. Generally it should be like, double that.
Yes, but also if you are in the left lane on a highway it’s also your responsibility to get out of said lane if someone is becoming closer than this behind you.
Yeah, you can’t have tipping and no tipping side by side. Customers will like the appearance of lower prices and many front house workers will make bank. I’ve worked back of house and front and worked twice as hard and actually used culinary skills in the back and made less than I did receiving tips in the front. I think that’s pretty messed up. The post was about making things illegal. I think most forms of tipping should be. That levels the playing field.
If you are passing a miles worth of traffic and someone behind you wants to pass that mile of traffic faster, move over temporarily to allow that person to pass rather than making them slow down to keep an appropriate distance.
I want a roulette option. When I have a nine minute snooze and I know it, I’m just tired and anxious waiting for it. If I don’t know how long it’s going to be I won’t stress over it. Go back to sleep and hope for the best. Set a 25min max so I can still panic shower my way into being on time.
Snoozing is never a good choice by plan, I agree. It’s a special weapon against the tyranny of the alarm that gives the brief illusion of winning. Its to be used sparingly of course, but it’s all we’ve got.
All “excellent question” usually means is they either know the answer or have heard the question asked before or have asked it themselves. A good novel question that catches them off guard likely won’t get this response, but it may still be a really interesting question.
I mean, it’s not many companies that don’t try to put up a fight against this. I don’t think this is anything particularly unusual. Why is this infuriating? Would you expect them to not do this? That would be /mildlyshocking

Thanks for the education on women. That part was the joke! I don’t know about your understanding of comedy but it plays upon stereotypes which typically hold truths about median behaviors and obviously can’t be applied at individual levels. this was playing on both stereotypes of women and upon a male dominated occupation. Of course you can sit there and pick apart any joke with this arugement. “hey that’s not true, not all lawyers are heartless bastards.” if that’s your mission, sail on I guess. That kind of vapid behavior just brings one even closer to talking like an AI though frankly.

I dunno. I heard they are shifting the start button to the right side of the screen in 12 and there will be a bing widget that recommends when to wear long underwear based on local weather forecasts. Not sure the masses can resist these upgrades.
