Ah, wonderful capitalism working as intended. Everything comes down to money.
Parking a large truck is also just plain harder.
- Parking spaces are smaller relative to the size of your car
- Sitting high up with a huge hood in front means there's less visibility in front
- Longer cars make it more difficult to judge distance using your mirrors, somewhat eased by the requirement for parking cameras.
- Longer cars generally have a longer wheelbase, making a worse turning radius
The only saving grace as a driver is that heavier cars can be safer for their occupants, at the cost of everyone else's safety... which most would consider a negative.
Right, most of the complaints people have about Zuckerberg is that he's a stereotypical tech bro ceo lacking a moral compass.
People calling Zuckerberg a lizard person or robot mostly come from how he talked and acted when under intense public questioning by legislators regarding user privacy and their business model. That's a high pressure situation where he was coached on what he could and could not say by legal to minimize the fallout, so his awkward expressions and stilted speech are understandable.
People don't like him because he's a ruthless ceo, and that requires some level of sociopathy pull off. Musk, on the other hand, actively antagonizes people and seems to thrive on controversy. His primary goal seems to be ego-driven, unlike Zuckerberg who's solely in it for the money.
I use my HP printer infrequently enough that every time I booted up my inkjet, I had to put it through a printer head cleaning cycle. I'd be surprised if I got more than 20 sheets of paper for each cartridge do to the wasted ink, and the dang thing malfunctioned frequently even after cleaning (streaks, blots, complaining about missing colors when printing b/w, etc).
After switching to a Brother mono laser, I haven't had to do any maintenance in 3 years and it's still on the original toner cart which it came with.
This is the way.
And here I was thinking that it was 100 hotdogs lined up end-to-end. What a deceptive headline!
People need to shift their perspective a bit to understand why conservatives keep fighting an obviously stupid war. It isn't about the specific group they're trying to demonize. It's about having something to fight, period. They lost on gay marriage - if they actually thought it was so terrible, they would still be fighting it. The same is true for Trans exclusionary laws. Anyone can do the math and realize that the societal harm caused if you assume even their wildest claims are true is dwarfed by the political money required to fight for and against these laws. And money, of course, is the root of the problem.
As long as they have an unlimited number of people to punch down at, they can keep riling up their bases. That means they have job security, and they can exploit these positions for "legal" bribes through cushy retirement jobs and conduct their real (economic) war on behalf of the rich.
Amazon doesn’t want anyone to think the drivers work for it.
A lawyer almost certainly told execs that this was an illegal attempt to misclassify employees. I think we're getting to a place where if people do things even though a lawyer tells them it's illegal, they are personally liable (jointly with the org itself) for the decision even in the context of a limited liability organization. And if the lawyer is incompetent enough to tell them that it's legal, they need to be disbarred and potentially liable for the damages.
I'd say that my wife is the organized one - she just makes it easy to take advantage of the organization and contribute content to it.
Mine cried when the little boy in "The Giving Tree" took the tree's branches, and had me re-read the first few pages where he plays with the tree multiple times instead of finishing the book.
Medication, alarms, chore lists with reminders, project boards (jira @ work, notion @ home).
My wife and I keep EVERYTHING in notion. Our entire lives, pretty much any plan or thing we need to remember to do or communicate goes in that app.
I use other stuff on top of it, but notion has allowed us to split the mental load of managing our household much better than before. I have terrible memory, but I can no longer use it as an excuse. I've gone from "oops I forgot" to "oops I didn't set a reminder, what do I need to do to prevent this in the future?"
It wouldn't be exaggerating to say that the combination of process and home project management through it has saved my marriage. Oh, and I guess therapy helps. Find a good therapist if you can afford one.
