They’re wedged against the turtle shell.

Next you’ll tell us you’ve been to the moon. Get out of here John Glenn.

Yeah? Well fuck those survey takers. You want to blackmail me with my reputation? G-o f-u-c-k o-f-f.

Presumably the FTC will have something to say about blatant anticompetitive actions such at these. Then again, that’s why corporations buy themselves representatives, senators and judges.

Edit: such not suck

I’m not sure what you’re taking issue with. UPS has twice as many union members as the big three combined. The Teamsters as a whole represent 3 times as many members as the UAW does in total. Perhaps the UAW has a larger war chest, I’m sure the NEA spends more lobbying, but no union in the country has a bigger hammer than the Teamsters. Longshoremen are probably close and rail workers would if they were allowed to strike. Also to say nothing similar exists in Amazon’s industry is to ignore the core of Teamsters membership, transportation and warehousing. I’m not trying to be combative, I hope the UAW gets to piss in Elon’s Cheerios on the daily.

UPS’s union is the Teamsters, and they represent twice as many employees at UPS as UAW does at the big three. The Teamsters union is an incredibly powerful union because they represent transportation and don’t cross picket lines so they can really gum up the works if they so decide.

For sure look into any subsidies available to you and see if they make a dual fuel system feasible. In your situation if you buy a high efficiency furnace, it may never make economic sense to run the heat pump, but things could always change and it’s a simple enough task to find your break even (economic balance) point when fuel prices change. My current break even point is well beyond the temperature you would consider running heat, but I still run my heat pump in the shoulder seasons to exercise it.

Maybe more akin to trolling, nobody has that many bad takes.

This, Apple is shitty for not advancing a standard. Can you imagine if every appliance came with some proprietary cable so you would be incentivized to stay with one brand to minimize hassle. We’d never stand for that, but for some reason we as consumers didn’t demand standardization in this realm. It’s a fast moving industry to be sure, but I don’t really see how that precludes standardization and that is evidenced by all the non Apple equipment that has settled on USB.

Elon gonna engineer the shit outta this thing. Nevermind coil steel itself varies by more than that before it goes into a die and stretches. It’s almost like he doesn’t have any background in automotive manufacturing. This statement makes me think Elon may not know what a micron even is. The fit and finish of Tesla’s current offerings seems to evidence it anyway.

Sirius/XM would like a little recognition in this regard.

Well, I see an opportunity for consolation right here!

Monopoly maintenance/lobbying (bribes): $8.41

I bet those business geniuses can find all kinds of ways to “reduce fees”. That is the number of fees, not the total dollar amount of fees.

A direct quote, “They trust me — dumb fucks”

Edit: which I guess contradicts my original statement.

Mark Zuckerberg is the least likely human on earth to be able to obtain consent. To paraphrase Chris Rock he created Facebook just to get friends after someone smacked him with a book.

How do I summon that utube redirect bot?

Edit: The bot is automatic.

Ahem, cable TV.

I said, “Dammit monster! Get off my lawn! I ain’t giving you no tree-fitty!” It said, “how about just two-fitty?” I said, “Oh, now it’s only two-fitty!! What?! Is there a sale on Loch Ness munchies or something?!”

'Cause they pay me every time I do. You’re so smart, why don’t you know that?

I’ll build my own fast food restaurant with blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget the restaurant!

Gen Z getting screwed, well that’s a first. I hope this doesn’t start some kind of trend.

Totally sniffing their own farts. The “brand recognition of Mastodon”, someone might want to look at the scoreboard before saying they’re going to win the game.
