I also solved mine but by never changing the oil.

I tend to agree but also see the other side of it in the corporation that I work for. There are a lot of stupid tasks that need to be done that are best handled by someone in middle management as it doesn’t take the managed employees away from the actual work and is something that needs to be done even if it outside the scope of our actual work.

Where I am, it’s selfishness, backstabbing, and politics that are the biggest hinderence from middle managers. Without being specific, you might have someone proposing an idea that, when implemented, will sound good on paper and make them look good while actually causing our work to be completed more slowly. Additionally, you have other people who have the answers to specific problems we face as employees, but they don’t want to share it because they won’t get credit and a promotion for it.

Coincidentally, my UPS packages have all been delayed over the last two weeks. One was supposedly delayed from CA to OR because of “weather” which is odd as it has been sun and mostly mild temps over the last week. Another had it’s tracking showing “we don’t have the package yet” right up until the morning that it was delivered.

That’s exactly what happened to companies like Red Lobster and Circuit City.

I once got a cup full of dlihydrogen monoxide when using one of these machines. Let me tell you that it was an experience…

Because you implied that he deserved to get assaulted and thrown to the ground for “talking back” and “not following instructions.” You don’t see the parallels between this and a husband assaulting and throwing to the ground their wife for talking back and not following instructions? What makes this okay simply because it’s being conducted by a person who took a 6 week training course and gets to wear a badge on their chest?

Why would a guy in a McLaren, who already gave you his ID, raise suspicions that he might be trying to harm you by simply rolling his window up? This cop mentality that everyone is seconds away from ambushing them like they’re in Fallujah circa 2002 is absurd and drives a lot of this police brutality and overreaction. Don’t forget that these are paid professional government employees. It’s not the citizen’s job to coddle police and play into their own personal paranoia and delusions just to avoid getting beaten or shot.

Sounds a lot like an abusive husband claiming that he wouldn’t have to beat his wife if she hadn’t burned their dinner.

Low-key way of informing everyone that nobody ever calls your landline.

I honestly thought it wasn’t terrible and would have benefitted from fleshing out the rest of the story. It was definitely a huge departure from the styling of SGU and Atlantis but not horrible on its own.

I can’t agree with #1. The interface is that of Amazon’s regular storefront and it often mixes paid media in with the free stuff or has stupid stuff like seasons 2, 4, & 6 being free while 1, 3, & 5 are paid. Maybe it’s different in the TV apps, but the browser version is atrocious.

Same except I was at about 10 years. I don’t even find it useful to include “reddit” in my Google searches as many communities are locked down unless you sign in to an account. Can’t say I feel too bad for them.

How much business do they expect to get as a pizza delivery company without delivery drivers? I’ll bet this goes really poorly, the franchise shuts down, and then the owner goes on Fox News talking about how “the new wages in Commiefornia forced me out of business!”

Why even bother stealing a real diary when they always just fabricate a bunch of bullshit with their claims anyway?

Be sure to use some sort of insect repellent around it. My coworker got one 3-4 years ago and within a year or two, ants began building a colony in the insulation inside the shell. The colony really thrived in the heat, and it became a huge issue.

Weird that this ‘study’ keeps getting picked up by different outlets and attributed to LendingTree who specifically notes at the top of said study that they don’t endorse anything within it and it’s solely the opinion of the author.

Furthermore, this study is obviously flawed as it states Pontiac, Mercury, and Saturn as the vehicles with the safest drivers, even though none of those companies have produced a car in around 15 years. The data is also sourced from people filling out insurance applications and doesn’t actually account for who was at fault for these accidents, nor does it even track the type of vehicle involved in the accident. It simply tracks who has an accident or DUI on their record and what vehicle they’re currently looking to get insurance quotes for. It’s clickbait in its purest form.

Sitting in the middle seat of a work truck can get a little gay if you’re driving a manual and need to shift into 2nd or 4th. Joking aside, I would probably use any excuse not to sit there because it’s incredibly uncomfortable to straddle the transmission hump.

My last car purchase involved something like this but without the misogyny. I knew exactly what I wanted, for how much, and had my own external financing. The dude loudly sighed on the test drive multiple times after trying to build a rapport unsuccessfully. I was perfectly courteous to him, but I wasn’t giving in to his sales pitch one inch.

Sorry guy, I view you as the cashier at Walmart and not my buddy who’s gonna get me a killer deal on undercoating.

“Oh you want to talk to your wife before making the second largest purchase of your life? Who wears the pants in your relationship?”
