When they bring nothing but unskilled labor to the table, how much do you feel they are entitled to? 50%? I would call that a partner and expect them to bring their own tools and skills. That is not the situation described here. So, how much should they receive?
My point is that "Truck buyers cannot afford machines that get between them and earning their livelihood" is incorrect as stated because it implies that owning a truck is essential for earning their livelihood. Some truck buyers, sure, but not nearly all truck buyers. I'm guessing not even most truck buyers.
No it isn't. You just found one 10 year old CBC article about one issue on one reserve. There is no proof at all this is a systemic issue, and people who point to it are typically just prejudice against aboriginal Canadians.
Now that is one smoooth looking ride. I'm referring to the paint since this clearly has the same suspension as a ride on lawn mower. One of our local potholes would swallow that buggy whole. Cute though.
"But Ellis told me that in an automotive shop it is hard to get good service as a woman, not to mention as a lesbian. She worries about getting scammed, looked at funny, insulted, or worse: “You have to watch your back, guard your purse, and just be mindful of the space at all times.”"
Funny, I help out at the family service station from time to time. Had a nice lesbian couple show up last weekend. They requested assistance installing a taillight bulb. I walk out and am greeted by a man-hating, derogatory sticker on their trunk lid. I didn't say a word, and still installed their taillight with my useless man hands.
This article started out alright, then slid further and further left until it fell off the topic altogether.
I've done a good bit of service plumbing work throughout NYC and the bumper sticker leftists are the worst of the worst. Give me a bedbug building instead.
Is this because we have a tech background and some understanding of how the algorithm works? I like to think I have curated my results to a degree by exercising this knowledge. ie: I noticed all of my news results were leaning starboard and things started to sound like an echo chamber. So I started seeking news content from the port side as well. Now I receive a mixture of both. I know my grandfather is not able to grasp this concept and I have seen his landing page.. I still have nightmares about what he is being fed in his echo chamber.
Since when did Tesla start producing media? Specifically, media funded by the government? Can you provide proof of this funding and links to what they produced?
This comment is edging pretty close to that cartoon about people who can't help but try to find reasons to dislike Elon, because NPR told them to do so.
This may be an apartment dweller/SFH split kind of thing. I have multiple gasoline, diesel and oil/gas mix cans. Most people around here do, for lawnmowers, snowthrowers, chainsaws, etc.
The only time I didn't have one was when I lived in apartments.
I live in a house, but I don't own a oil based lawnmowers, chainsaws etc. (just battery or direct electric), I don't have such a large property to justify oil ones :)
My in-laws have a larger property but they also go with electric based tools, but yeah one of their neighbors does have such lawnmower (I would probably buy robot one, but...).
But you are right I forgot that there are tools that do require gasoline, 30 years ago those gas cans were used for storing gasoline for use in a car or motor (when I lived in apartments).
This "why" has been growing since Steve passed. I have been an Apple user for 20+ years. The experience has been slowly going downhill for the last 5 years. I think they survived on Steve's vision for the first couple of years after his passing. The brains behind Apple are still there, clearly, M1, M2... the vision is missing. The why's you mention seem to be those unpolished pieces Steve would never have allowed the release of.
This is why I (and many others) I think still have some fond memories of Snow Leopard, marketed as 'bug fix' release. That feels like the last time there was a united push to polish up existing stuff without throwing in 'new' things.
This is one of those lessons that we as a software dev community seem unable to absorb. Polish is universally better received than flaky new features, and the releases we view most fondly are the ones that are fast and reliable, and yet we never seem capable of holding off on the new features to fix existing pain points.
> Polish is universally better received than flaky new features, and the releases we view most fondly are the ones that are fast and reliable
It's far from universal. Most users never expect to understand their software in the first place, and so put a lot more value on new features. If anything I'd say developers put too much effort into polish, since we're the very small demographic that actually appreciates it.
