I don't know about that. I've never seen the same driver twice...not from Doordash and not from any other delivery service except the two that have the drivers as actual employees. I'm sure the churn is huge because the pay i

I reported missing mail, and USPS was on the fix the very next morning. Other than that, I've never had a problem except for waiting in line and being served by an intentionally slow employee.

The 737 and its variants pay the bills at Boeing. They don't have a replacement for the 737, and the sales from the rest of their planes would not be sufficient to keep the company afloat.

Admitting the mistake and scrapping the Max program would likely mean the end of the company unless it got the mother of all bailouts from Uncle Sam.

The only way for that to happen is to purge the entire executive suite. Will that happen? No, thus a new(ish) and now chronic distrust of the company and the decision that it makes.

$59,945.00 for a fully loaded desktop PC with monitor sure does feel like this is an elaborate troll job. On the other hand, if they are in a position to command that sort of dosh for it, why not? With all the cash they have, I'd to se

Further, she loses money with these reviews. Basically, she likes getting packages full of things she doesn't use and loses money on. What a weird hobby. “I really don’t think I’m making money on it at all. I’m pretty sure I’m losing m

Amazon isn't close to being cheapest. Now, many of the things I shop for are twice the price of other internet businesses. Some of those businesses charge for shipping, but they are still cheaper than Amazon. Amazon has really lost the

I received two nvme ssd's in a padded envelope. They could easily have been destroyed. They delivered a $500 video card by slapping a shipping sticker on the product box and shipping it that way. On the other hand, I received a $12 box

Low pay, long hours, difficulty of obtaining employment, low long term stability of employment for most places. The state I used to live in had two newspapers employing maybe 1000 people between them. Now, there is one newspaper that went b

A co-author of the study recommends establishing regular bedtime routines. I wager the lack of a regular routine is the source of the problem. The school I went to had split shifts. I was on the early shift, and had to be up at 5AM. It wasn

It's not a wash. A common cast aluminum 20-inch wheel weighs a whole lot more than a common cast 16-inch wheel. Also, only performance vehicles get fitted with larger brakes. Many vehicles have discs that would fit fine under a much s

There's a door showroom in Chongqing that's so big you drive through it and look at all the doors on offer. Yes, you drive through it in your car and look at housing doors of all types.

Not recent years. Decades. FAA has been under regulatory capture by Boeing for decades. The world ignoring anything the FAA has to say about anything is a stance that's long overdue.

They are pushing production and engineering to anywhere not the USA, so this trend of having fewer workers isn't going to stop until all that's left of GM is the headquarters. I'm not Chicken-Littling either. This trend has b

It's pretty unreasonable for many components in a car if you are paying for it yourself. There's a Model S owner who is on the 7th drive unit replacement for his car. This is a $15,000 unit. These cars are too expensive to be disp

Ford got rid of Volvo, Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Land Rover. All of these brands have been doing poorly since Ford sold them. Ford's relentless pursuit of cost cutting led them to keep many vehicles for far too long. Their former bread

They have. The homeless turn them into their homes. Drug users do drugs in them, and they are sheds for prostitution. Also, they are expensive to install and maintain.

Back in my day, this type of thing would land you in juvenile detention. You wouldn't be released until you passed a psychiatric evaluation, which was no simple task. Perhaps we need to return to the days of removing very clearly troub
