As someone who lives in a place where it rains almost every day for 9 months of the year, this reinforces my decision to never buy a Tesla. Does this kill the headlights too?

The real question is whether or not it is legal to shoot someone looking through your trash? Sadly, I’m pretty sure the answer is yes.

It’s true though. If anyone with a high school education can be a successful “programmer”, most programming jobs will be filled by the cheapest labor. Why would any company pay more than they need to to keep their company functioning?

Pretty much any scam you could think of. Previously, Zelle was like cash. Once it’s handed over it’s gone. Any recourse lies outside of Zelle. Now it sounds like you may be able to work with Zelle to get your cash back in some cases.

Kaan, in Portland, won a bunch of restaurant of the year awards and became overwhelmed with out of towners trying to book the place up. The owners recognized that to stay open long term, once the hype dies down, they need locals able to get

I’ve seen it both ways. For larger parties most places near me charge upfront. For couples or parties up to 4 the charge hits 48 hours before your reservation or whatever the cutoff happens to be. In one case, I did have to get the bill adj

Neat hack related to that. My wife wanted to take her girls weekend friends to what is currently one of the most difficult reservations to get in the US. I had free time during the window when reservations opened up so booked it. Then reali

And it's an 18,00 seat venue that only uses half the arena for seating. Picture taking a typical NBA arena and putting everyone on one side of the court without any additional crowding, they didn't shrink the seats down to 12 inch

There are seats in the lower section that sit partially underneath the second level. You will get a great view of the band and stage but lose some of the projections going on all around you. We sat in the 5th row of the 300 level. The visua

Yes the design of the Sphere means it will never be a successful venue for touring acts. Any entertainer performing there will have to be committed to at least a month of shows, probably more. That said, it's a unique concert experien

Simple solution. If there is no body cam footage available, a judge or jury is allowed to make the most negative inference as to the officer's actions. If a camera truly malfunctions, well sometimes police think a cell phone is a gun a

In my experience, they will direct you to the ATM on premises to get some cash. If you have neither cash nor a card to get cash, the police will be called.

Lack of information. Most buyers will only buy a home a few times in their lives and often in completely different markets. You only know your realtor is good or bad well after the fact. Excluding the obviously bad ones but they tend to fal

Pilots are more of a problem than flight attendants because not only are there fewer pilots, they need to be certified for the plane you have available. If your reserve pilot is certified on a CRJ-900 and you need to fly a 737, those folks
