Toyota has a built in customer base that is growing. With the exception of Tundra trucks, their parking lots are usually empty while Ford, GM, and Stellantis have new vehicles stacked all over with no buyers. Of the 3 Toyota dealerships I w

It is absurd that it exists at all. A DRM'd cassette for dish soap. This world needs an enema.

No better or worse than US or EU cars manufacturers, all of whom have been doing this a LOT longer than Tesla.

Apple is going to learn that the hard way. Meta has huge return rates on their headsets, which is a big reason for their 30 billion loses on it so far. At $3500, people will play with these Apple units and return them. I can't guess wh

It is absurd that Apple is still charging laughable amounts of money for tiny, inexpensive components. It was somewhat justifiable before when their products were simply better than anything else. Now, everyone else has caught up on quality

Meta isn't creating a market, rather instead a hole in which they've dumped 30+ billion dollars into with nothing to show for it. Apple's VR is nothing new and will also fail.

I was in AK when a twin engine plane vanished. It was found a year later, it crashed next to a main road. Planes can be next to impossible to spot, even when they are next to a motorway.

Car accidents are going up in part because some police departments simply do not have the budget to do traffic enforcement. I lived in a big city, and the police didn't have the manpower to fight crime and traffic enforcement. As a res

^ This. Schools are doing a piss-poor job of educating people. Only 20% of schools can muster a 70% proficiency score, with the vast majority being much worse. What this indicates is a startlingly large number of students are receiving an e

Kind of amazing to see a 2-day old season already abandoned by a majority of the players...that's how bad the new season is.

I know someone who is a retired hospital administrator. 24 years ago, that hospital posted its first ever 1 million in profits. Last year, that same hospital posted 100 million in profits. It is owned by a PE firm, and people wonder why app

I worked in quite a few sensible firms. A salesperson not selling anything for 3 months was never heard of because they would have been fired long before that. A 3 month ramp doesn't mean produce zero results. In case anyone is wonderi

Morality clauses are common in positions of greater responsibility. They exist to keep the degenerates from destroying the reputation of the business or institution that employs them.

Yes. Some people can become very difficult when they've just lost their job. This is the primary reason why firings are done via e-mail so people can flip out and lose their cool at home.

I'm surprised any of them are still in business. High fees, food delivered cold if at all, 0 hiring standards, very poor customer service.

No one is going to hold Boeing responsible because Boeing owns everyone in charge at the FAA.

Poorest quality parts, outsourced software development, outsourced hardware engineering, complete ambivalence on the part of the C-suite about the quality of their vehicles and future of the company.

FAA is completely asleep at the wheel in most areas it governs. Youtube is filled with ATC simply refusing to do their jobs, and under no circumstances should exchanges like this should be allowed to happen. There's an ATC shortage, bu

I lived down the pike from the place where the largest tornado in history touched down, and you are spot on about warnings and knowing beforehand. If you are letting a tornado sneak up on you, you are doing it very wrong. Hell, you know bad

These people are certifiably insane. How are they not aware that people carry their entire digital lives in their pockets and purses and aren't going to swap that for whatever pile of garbage GM will come out with? Further, how are the

That is a GM problem. I've never had Carplay connectivity issues across 4 different brands.

GM is the very same company who recently bricked nearly all of their new model Colorado mid-size trucks with an OTA update that drained the car batteries. That they think they have the chops to roll their own system is rather laughable at

Keep the 4Runner and buy something new for a family hauler. New vehicles are much safer from a structural standpoint than older ones. Modern high strength steels form the safety cage of the vehicle, and greatly reduce the risk of injury in

People don't want low end housing built in their neighborhoods. Further, the cost of development has gone up rather drastically. In some cases, 10x in as many years, making building low cost homes financially impossible. Then there&#x2
