If you’re in a position to walk away from almost anything you are doing at work and have someone else do it instead, and you’re still paid, it’s not work. If you are in this position, have family, and work 7 days a week, you have a self-regulation problem. See a fucking therapist.

One day I walked in and asked for meds. I got meds. They work, to a degree.
Good doctor.
You know when you accepted the risk, boss?
This is the risk.
A pity. I love my Volvo, but it’s several generations old. The software (particularly driver assist) is arguably the best I’ve used, including current cars. The UI suffers from a small screen but everything just works and there’s real buttons. I do wish it had CarPlay of course.
No idea what to replace it with. Wagons are basically dead as a class (don’t say crossover); Volvo is apparently unreliable and besides, I can’t yet afford an EV with the range I need (I have one; it’s great; I need more range and that’s still more than I can afford). Ah well, hopefully I’ll have time to consider it before it dies; it’s barely 10 years old and I plan to have it another 10.
Worth noting - I don’t know where these are built, but my feeling is that the EV and software is more Chinese, and the design, chassis, interior, and gasoline engines are Swedish. It’s difficult to know, but it may be that the safety culture in the Swedish offices hasn’t been replicated in China. That’s always a risk with acquisitions and certainly not a Chinese problem.
I am not sure that the issues he has experienced are especially unique however. Pop into forums for BMW and Mercedes and there’s always a few people who got lemons.
Not to detract from the potential effects of climate change, but the mean daily high in June is 27, July 29, and in August 28. It’s not exactly Arizona or Dubai.
At the Victoria Gonzales weather station, daily temperatures rise above 30 °C (86 °F) on average less than one day per year.
When all you do is PowerPoint meetings, ai seems powerful. When you have actual problems to solve, it’s considerably less meaningful.
I have long been an advocate that a trust fund must be established before a mining or energy project is started, sufficient to re-naturalise the space and address contamination and safety concerns. But naturally, that’s not popular with the corporations. Instead, governments and non-profits are left cleaning up abandoned oil wells that spew tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Infuriating.
- Require auto technicians to own thousands of dollars of their own tools.
- Pay auto technicians piecework.
- Senior techs take on “gravy” work that pays better per hour, leading to very long hours for the junior techs to make ends meet.
- Society and government guide everyone with three brain cells into university degree programs for decades on end.
- “There aren’t any automotive technicians”!
Plus, it’s very obvious that there’s a massive push towards ending fossil fuel use in the personal transportation space, and electric cars simply don’t have the same maintenance requirements. It’s like stating your intent to become a professional typist in 1988 when computers were clearly going to massively impact the line of work.
Does multiple assessments by different doctors all disagreeing with each other count?
He’s 46, in case anyone is wondering how deep Russia is digging for frontline soldiers.
I’m still waiting for FaceTime to be opened.
How does number go up when payroll is big?
