Yes, those lights you are talking about are illegal. Same with vehicles that have too high of bumper heights and too low. Unfortunately, a lot of traffic laws don’t get enforced

In America, I’m sick and tired of seeing them. They’re minivans for insecure dads. They’re props for office workers who want to LARP as construction workers

Every time I see them, all I can think is that they hate kids (huge blind spots) and love to complain about gas/petrol prices. They also don’t fit in our huge parking spaces. Sure, they have their uses, but I really doubt that the shiny, pristine truck is being used to haul/tow anything

The real construction workers/laborers are usually seen driving normal sedans/cars, minivans, or actual vans. Fuck pickup trucks, they’re awful

When I applied, I never got a notification that it got approved, but I could post and comment on that instance. So you might have been in a similar situation as me or the admins are still dealing with a large influx of people

I believe it’s a legal thing where HR has to track the ethnicity (if applicant discloses) due to equal employment. Basically the US federal government wants to know if a company is discriminating against a protected class during hiring and employment

Not using my car is probably the best thing. I’m not stressed before, during, and after an errand run now that I can use my bike or feet to do a majority of them. I still drive to one-off errands, but that’s few and far in-between

Like, if my city was even more walkable, it would be cheaper to do ride-share/micro mobility rentals than to own a car. Turns out having a car payment, insurance, gas, maintenance, and random one-off car expenses is expensive

To give more context around why cars are inefficient is that most trips Americans make is less than like 5ish miles, and any e-bike worth their money can easily do that. The gap between a nice (the nicest is like $10k, but a really nice one is 1-3k) e-bike and the shittiest functioning car is pretty big too

I want to know if the “autopilot” (adaptive cruise control) was disabled before impact so that the driver was found at fault. Despite Tesla disabling it way after the point the driver can properly react and correct the situation

I agree with the sentiment, but there is something about the way that it’s written makes me want to disagree with the author. I think it’s their tone that they’re using in their writing.

Anyways, a part of this is confirming to me that the people calling for RTO are surprised at the outcome when they face attrition and recruitment trouble. There’s no way that when they call for RTO nowadays that they shouldn’t expect those problems.

If you’re keeping compensation and benefits the same, but take away WFH, don’t be surprised when people jump for the same job with WFH. You need to account for the lack of WFH with something (a lot more money)

People who give others what they wish they had. Sometimes people can be bitter and envious of what others got. I think it takes being a bigger person to accept that you didn’t receive it then, and you can still give it to others.

I’m mostly talking about things like time, attention, patience, tolerance, affection, and positive reinforcement/affirmation. Just because you had a bad time, doesn’t mean others have to experience it.

I wonder if it will be a repeat of last time where telecom companies took the money and did nothing with it

I’m hopeful that at least a quarter of it will make it to homes/areas that need it

I mostly think that any large container that can hold water is a cold brew maker. I used to use one of those large pitchers from the supermarket used for serving lemonade (really any sweet drink), but really any large container you have will work that you don’t mind having coffee leech in to.

Because all you really need is water and coffee grounds mixed together inside of something sitting anywhere for a long enough time. Nowadays I use a half gallon mason jar left sitting on my counter for 12-18 hours and then I filter

When I go filter, I filter out the bulk of the grounds using just a strainer. Then I use 2-3 coffee filter lined strainers over whatever bowls I have and let it drain

Or get a Toddy, they were recommended as well when I looked into cold brew

Agreed. Like I can understand when you need a truck, you need a truck. But most of the time, those guys seem to need storage space that’s covered more than they need towing/hauling capabilities with a short bed that’s

There’s new construction near my house and I much prefer the guys in shit box cars, minivans, and actual work vans. The trucks seem to belong to the LARPers on-site and always have the cover on their bed, because almost all the materials hauled in are on flatbed trucks

I like seeing when tradesmen pull up in their beat up 600k mile Scion xB or a white van. It makes me think that there was more thought put into the purchasing of their tools than looking at ads/marketing. They were also chill people to work with too
