- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 1 week ago:
TIL Elon doesn’t know SQL or have any basic human decency.
J/K, I already knew he doesn’t have basic human decency.
If he knew anything about SQL, he could have run a quick search to see whether any SSNs are actually duplicated. (spoiler alert: they’re not, he’s just stupid).

Someone once told me that they thought the line in Uptown Funk was, “I’m too hot, hot ham!” and I’ve been hearing it that way ever since.

If you’re going fast enough for it to fly off, yeah leaving it on is a dick move.
- Comment on Incoming!! 1 week ago:
As someone who lives in the midwest, I can confirm that people sometimes leave it on purpose for the extra weight, especially in vehicles like pickups and vans. Also you kinda just want to see what happens at that point.

- Comment on Why are kids like this? 1 week ago:
While the “friend” is responsible for her actions, there’s a good chance she’s got something shitty going on in her home life. I’ve known a couple people like this, and in both cases, it turned out that their parents were consistently awful to them (in one case, the kid overheard a phone call where her mom talked about how much of a failure her daughter was). It might even be that one or more of her parents are exactly like this, and she’s emulating them.
It’s perfectly reasonable to be both frustrated at how this person treats your sister, and also have some empathy for her. Assuming you’ve talked to your sister (and hopefully encouraged her that she doesn’t deserve that kind of treatment), the only other thing I can recommend is trying to treat this person with as much kindness as you can muster. It might make a big difference for her (though of course it’s not your responsibility to “fix” her).

Out of the American big three, I have the most confidence in Ford. I’ve worked with engineers at all three, and the ones at Ford are the ones that I felt were most compitent.
That being said, my next car will probably be a Toyota or a Subaru. Both way better than the American OEMs.

They’re good for longevity, but they’re bad for quarterly profits. In the US, we care much more for the latter.

I work in the auto industry. Can confirm, Stellantis is in bad shape. I wouldn’t buy anything from them.

Probably others?
