The new logo was hideous and the giant square box they put in every store window looked bad lol. It's funny thinking about that now, because JCPenney just like every other retail big box chain, got rid of all their window displays deca

And the current pepsi logo and branding is straight up garbage.

You actually can do that, I had to dig around to find the page lol. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/vehicle-industry-regi... Some plates have retention fees, some don't. YMMV.

The plates go with the vehicle in California most of the time. It just gets complicated when you sell to someone out of state because you have to turn the plates in yourself. If you a used car in CA, it's not unusual for the plates to

Yeah one of the things I really dislike is that I think a lot of people who expect "free speech should be protected on the internet" also believe "companies should have the right to refuse service to anyone" I think thos

The trading with a grocery store is heavily regulated as well. They have requirements for storage and handling, their scales have to be calibrated, and there can be very strict fines for things like screwing around with sale prices.

I think a lot of devs are led to believe they're the World's Greatest Widget Engineer but what they've really fallen for is the "Hank Hill Special Deal" lol.

Apple's HQ campus is an interesting one because it's only a small percentage of their employees that actually work there. I imagine if they downsized their silicon valley properties down to infinite loop and the ring building, the

I think going along the lines here: The rent prices for commercial properties are absurd. For business loan reasons, most real estate firms would rather leave lots of commercial property empty, than to rent it "below market value"

Grass can be greener on the other side. Usually hard problems are expensive to solve, and the business end wants nigh endless amounts of justification and planning for those solutions lol. You think you'll be designing cool architectur

Amusingly, you can and probably SHOULD lock a doorless wrangler. On a JL and even on the JK, the alarm system still locks out some functionality. And most people don't take the tailgate off, which when locked, kinda keeps people from g

I'm on the fence about this sort of security. Do we really really want to make things completely locked down to the point that the manufacturer can close up shop and leave you totally screwed, in the name of "security"? I see

Speaking from anecdotal experience, the university I went to put a lot of thought and money into things like being sustainable, producing zero waste, having high quality healthy food, etc. This is fantastic if you're looking at things

The diesel engines in the Thomas busses my school district had in the 90s would like to have a word with you. Those fuckers were always breaking down. lol. Plus they smelled like death and produced gross amounts of black smoke.

This is all true. I always hated their deskjet printers, though. The First one I had was a Deskjet 500 and that thing was a massive turd with very expensive ink cartridges, and no matter how many times I cleaned the rollers, it'd still

I have a more expensive herman miller embody. It... doesn't really have much to adjust. Just the shape of the back. That's kind of an irritating aspect of it to me.

Oh no, I would bet some money that the C level execs at these companies own a lot of residential property near their campuses. Likely purchased before they announced building said campus! It's just good business sense. If the employees

You forgot it's not just a handshake. It's often a shoulder touch or a tug or a really hard hand squeeze to assert dominance or whatever other nonsense they read in their book on how to be a creepy con artist.

I decide to not do business with people who expect a handshake. If they reach out I'm already game over. If they bring up sports.. oh hell yea I'm gonna stand up and walk right out. We have nothing more to discuss.
