3 and Y are vegan leather. The others had a cloth option, but for the new ones the leather will be vegan.

Exactly, certainly not if we are talking used cars in the Internet era. These dealerships are not pricing cars for $7k+ over auction price unless they rebuilt the title because it's going to show as a horrible deal on any internet site.

I was pretty much laughed out of two dealerships for trying to get $2k off sticker and they refused to negotiate much.

Well that depends on if Elon is a believer in Time Cube Theory which says due to 4 corner Earth there are 4 simultaneous days each rotation.

Depends on the location and industry, but it looks like for NYC 11+ employee companies it's $12.50 cash wage / $2.50 tip credit for hospitality service, $10/$5 for food service.

Can you point me to a study that shows stretching has a statistically significant positive impact on injury rates?

I know it's the common school of thought, but the studies I've read have found it was beneficial for flexibility, ROM, and soreness but no statistically significant impact on injuries or performance (data is mixed positive and negative for performance).

Anecdotal data is useless, but I've been lifting relatively heavy for years with little to no stretching with no ill effects. I do use warm-up sets but no other warm-up/stretching techniques. However, I am definitely open to changing my routine when the data supports it.

I think their point isn't that the terms are incorrect but that the word freelancer is undervalued by respective clients versus consultant/contractor. Similar to how if you say you are moonlighting, people will take you less seriously regardless of actual skill.

Interesting that their suggestion "People often get tired of hearing their own name. Switch tracks and use your name instead." is at odds a bit with Dale Carnegie's "Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language."

Personally, I've considered deleting all mine because quite often years old posts will get flagged for spam or inappropriate material or some other rule despite it being the top voted (and often only) answer. I used to reply and send them their own rules back that they claim I violated and get 90%+ lifted, but after a couple old answers got flagged in the same week and it locked my account for x amount of time I stopped dealing with them. And often I'd have to appeal the same post over and over again anyway. It would get blocked, I'd get it reinstated, and then it would get blocked again so it was just frustrating.

I used to be top 7 in a specific niche but it wasn't worth dealing with their moderation appeals constantly. It's not quite as bad now that I am not in the top lists.

Outside of registered trademarks, no one really has a "right" to a domain name. If the Mormon church couldn't buy LDSMatch they'd use something else. Now it's obviously financially or otherwise beneficial to them so they are willing to pay for it, but that's not really a need.

If there was a rule, squatters would just put up a WordPress blog with two posts.

My insurance requires 3 at-home failures (as in bad data, etc) before they will even approve an in-lab. I'm sure you can request one if they don't; it's cheaper for them.

By which metrics?

I don't believe cars are designed for a 15 year span, despite the average lifespan. A number of those are going to reach an early demise due to accidents and improper maintenance. Many of the parts are designed to last 50+ years.

Takata detonated 27,000 airbags and the highest failure rate vehicles had a failure rate of 2.16%. Those were at that time 12-14 year old vehicles with a faulty airbag detonator and still only 2% failure.

Either way, having no airbag in your car is demonstrably less safe than even a faulty, old Takata airbag.

My main point about the Takata recall though was that there are now 50 million used cars out there that have a new airbag system. So you can find a used car covered by the recall and check to see if the airbag has been replaced and if not then get it replaced for free, and then you have the best of both worlds: new airbag and relatively cheap, used car.

Looks like there were some concerns with mid-90s and earlier airbags only having a 15 year life, but modern bags are designed to last the life of the vehicle: https://www.edmunds.com/car-safety/do-car-airbags-expire.htm...

The good news about the Takata recall is that 50 million airbags out there either have already been replaced (including mine) or are able to be replaced under the recall.

Don't worry the AI will be very realistic; it will be better than interacting with locals.

Yeah, no insurance. I use primary coverage through a premium credit card, which covers damage/theft, towing, and loss-of-use charges.

There was a status upgrade involved and an online coupon code.

I've switched to renting cars for large mile trips. Unlimited mileage rentals are so cheap it's worth it to avoid wear and tear even on my older car or my girlfriend's nicer vehicle--and removes the risk of my old car breaking down in an inconvenient place. Last rental was an SUV for $65/week that I put hundreds of miles on. Some of the rentals I have put 1k+ miles on for <$100.

~30% of cars are leased, so those would still be available

I think you are overestimating the time costs of an older, reliable car. I've got a 2003 Honda Civic 200k miles that I've had since it had 13k miles. I'd say it goes to the shop overnight once every 12-18 months for a major issue or something I don't want to deal with, goes to Valvoline for 15 minutes every 3 months or so, drop off at tire store for 2 hrs twice a year, and I maintain things like brakes, spark plugs, radiator fan probably twice a year total 2 hours at a time.

And for tools, you don't need much more than the very basics for most jobs that I would want to deal with.

Now if your car of choice is a 69 chevelle or a Fiero then it's going to be a different story.

I used to use the + system but ran into too many issues of it not being accepted and it seems some are smart enough to strip off the + and everything after.

I moved to wildcard forwarder on my own domain so that *@mydomain.com get forwarded to my main email account. This gives me all the tracking I want and I can ban addresses if needed.

That still gets me the zero overhead and practically infinite addresses with none of the downsides of gmail--and I can easily change my main email account as an added bonus.

If you like 80% of your chosen career and wish to improve 20%, does it not make sense to speak out about the 20%?

Else, how would we ever improve working conditions anywhere? I don't think that is going to happen externally.

Why would you care if his company loses someone else's money?

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that none of those countries will have solvent healthcare systems. There are steps they can take to improve the currently dire future. And I would imagine that pretty much any projection will show a more favorable situation than the US over the next 30-40 years.

Given the choice between a system that looks unsustainable in the future versus one that is currently unsustainable, I'll bet on the future one.

Or work on having the means to move to a country with a more sensible health care system before you reach that point.

Part of the problem is that no one really knows where the money goes. So we wouldn't really know if he had a charity jet purchased by the company.

Charity can be used to cover a lot of things: dinners, galas, trips, vehicles, lucrative jobs, etc.

I'm sure canaries died of natural causes in the mines occasionally...

It does sound like they used TOTP when possible but in some instances only SMS was available. My issue is that they seem to act surprised that SMS is so broken. I have trouble believing that any admins of a site that large have missed the various security alerts and news articles about hacked accounts, lost cryptocurrency, etc.

Yep, exactly. The best diet is the one you will stick to. Everything else is secondary. If it's low carb or vegan or paleo or mediterranean great. If it's the Twinkie diet, not as great but whatever. Penn lost a ton of weight on the potato diet starter phase of his diet.

Personally, I lost 50 lbs through a combination of exercise plus homemade vegetable/fruit juice replacement of two meals --which would be high carb. Some people would not be able to deal with that so it wouldn't work for them.

You ate pizza, pasta, garlic knots, empanadas, redbull and more pizza and blame carbs for your bloating?

I have heard before another reason is that it can help keep you from rotating into a different position. That's why I do it. Without the pillow I have 0% chance of staying on my side.

I don't like how they mark exclusive right properties as "Originals" when they may not have made them. A lot of the quality of those exclusives is not great compared to their actual originals.
