Indiana police have dogs that sniff specifically for cash at the US’s 2nd biggest FedEx hub, then they simply keep the money
  • Cash is commonly banned by most logistics companies. As it is openly stated that it will not be carried by FedEx, it’s no stretch that the police will consider it contraband.

    Source: I work for a competing company that also will not ship cash. Any of our employees will tell you no. Ship cash at your own risk.

    Biden moves to crack down on Shein and Temu, slow shipments into US
  • I’m an employee in the U.S., working for a large international shipping company with a yellow and red logo. We’ve been struggling to maintain profitability stateside since the COVID shipping boom ended. Shein and Temu are basically keeping the U.S. operation afloat making up a significant double digit percentage of our revenue currently.

    We can’t compete domestically as our rates are sky high compared to brown and purple and we’ve become overly dependent on these Chinese retailers. I’d say this is a good signal to find a new gig.

    This photograph is in Iran in the 1970s, she couldn’t be wearing this outfit today, and she would need a Hijab.
  • It’s called “The Handmaids Tale”.

    They made it in book and TV show form. Minus the birth problems which kick off the societal change in that story, we’re quickly headed for it.

    You Don't Need A Full-Size Pickup Truck, You Need a Cowboy Costume
  • Annoyingly, many vehicles sold in the U.S. don’t have a tow rating except for large SUV’s and trucks. It makes it difficult to know if you can safely tow a trailer with your small crossover.

    I owned a Honda HR-V a few years ago. In Europe, it was rated for around 1,500 lbs. In the U.S., they just slap “not recommended for towing” on it and tell you to buy something larger.

    What a helpful little kid
  • In what world should anyone be criticized for not being early enough? I agree if you’re not early, you’re late.

    But for fucks sake, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, whatever… dude sounds like an asshole.

    Anons wife hosts a pool party
  • 80m² = 860ft² for those of us in countries who perpetuate inferior measurement systems.

    860ft² is extremely small compared to the average American home of 2,480ft².

    Elon Musk haters vandalized dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks by spray painting "F**K ELON" on dozens of them
  • All of the vehicles in the article were pre-delivery. As they were still owned by Tesla, it falls on the company to repair them.

    I’m not justifying vandalism, but the impact to the buyer is a delayed delivery vs a monetary and PR impact to Tesla.

    Outstanding idea.
  • The Boca Chica test site in Texas is built immediately adjacent to a protected wildlife preserve. This is the site where SpaceX has been working on the Starship launch vehicle.

    The second part about failing is extreme hyperbole. SpaceX is the most successful launch company in human history by any reasonable metric. I’d argue Musks distance from the company in recent years has helped.

    This is my reason for joining "Fuck Cars"
  • Europe licenses trucks and trailers differently than in the U.S. An American one-ton pickup can tow at a combined weight of up to 26,000lbs in most states on a standard Class D license. The same license you need to operate a Honda Civic. This weight would require a commercial license in Europe, raising the bar for entry.

    The lengths of trucks and trailers is also regulated more heavily due to smaller European streets. A vehicle rated to tow a 26,000lb load in Europe would need to be much shorter in length to abide by these regulations. This is why you only see “cab-over” style “lorries” in Europe.

    What follows is my opinion on some additional factors:

    It’s more affordable for Europeans to hire a professional driver for heavy loads owing to the short distances between destinations. It’s also less likely that your average European owns land or has a need to haul a heavy load to maintain said property.

  • You nailed it. I’m the target audience for this and that is exactly how I use my laptop. Now if only framework would add a touchscreen option and I’d buy it tomorrow.
