It’s weird that they don’t really address the biggest reason Googles algorithm is worse now. The rampant exploitation of SEO.
Bad actors abuse the system in an attempt to be the first result, regardless of relevancy. It’s harder for Google to sift the chaff out than it used to be, because they’re flooded with content claiming to be related to the search keys.
Yeah, their older 2000s Odyssey could fit sheet goods fine. The newer models are slightly narrower, just enough to cause me grief.
8’ bed would be ideal for me, but even 6’ is fine with the wood resting on the raised tailgate for an easy tie down + flag.
I’ve borrowed my parents minivan for this in the past, but their newer Odyssey (~8yr old) doesn’t even fit sheet goods without going diagonal, which causes problems. Plus even with care, it inevitably scratches up the interior.
I’d rather have a medium to small sized truck with a standard to extended bed. I don’t care about scratches or dents, so can just toss things in without a worry, and can load without even lowering the tailgate.
No, it’s an extended cab model, which have tiny beds. Like, you can’t even fit standard construction material (8ft) in it with the tailgate down without it sticking out well past the tailgate.
Yes, trucks are longer than they used to be, but extended cabs are far more common than they were. Living in a city, the vast majority of trucks are extended cabs with tiny beds.
They’re basically SUVs with an open trunk. Enough room for a tool chest and a cooler, and you’ll need to hitch a trailer if you actually want to haul anything.
I’m also in the market for a truck to enable a woodworking hobby. Basic requirement is being able to haul sheet material (4’ wide) with no fuss.
Even 20 year old beaters are going for over 10k in my area.
Anything in the last 10 years or so is bloated. Even the smallest models like Tacomas are ridiculously sized, yet have tiny beds.
The SEC won’t get additional funding, so they’ll necessarily have to let all but the highest priority cases go because they don’t have enough resources to take everything to court.
This is exactly what the Republicans want. It’s exactly what they did to IRS. Create more work for them and starve them at the same time, so that their corporate puppetmasters can get away with whatever they want, and the few times they do get taken to court, they can throw their big team of lawyers at it, drag it out, and make it not worth pursuing.
This is by design. This is their goal. And I’m certain that SCOTUS colluded with the lower courts to deliver this case to them with a bow tie.
Oh don’t worry, they’ll reverse this decision if the Republicans get control again.
Precedent only matters when it affirms their goal. Even if it’s their own precedent, they will find some paper thin excuse to change it.
And yes, I’m aware they’ll need a new case to reach them before they can overturn anything. That’s why the conservative SCOTUS members actively collude with the conservative groups that cherry pick / manufacture cases to take to court and then push up the appeals courts so they eventually reach the SCOTUS.
Yeah, but I don’t think EVs have spark plugs to smash and use to break the windows. Checkmate.
Yeah, that’s fucking stupid, and requires the electronics to not be damaged in whatever emergency situation you’ve found yourself in to require this external battery override solution.
My wife’s EV has a tiny key that comes out of the dongle, and has a tiny hidden keyhole under the handle.
I had to Google to find it, but it’s sufficient if power is out. It’s a mechanical lock mechanism like cars have had for a century. As it should be.
Most expensive early access beta with pre-order ever. Tesla is the EA of cars.
I mean, distributing it isn’t a small feat. Plus you need to manage subscriptions, billings, CMS, a front end to navigate the content, etc.
That’s no small amount of work, even if they used out of the box solutions for many layers.
“But I’m one of the good slave owners! Look how much they like being my slave!”
If a typical storm causes rampant flooding, maybe it would behoove you to invest in infrastructure and tighten building codes.
You know, the job of local government.
Fuck Elon, and to a lesser extend, Tesla and all. But this seems like yet another user error on several accounts. I thought “autopilot” was only supposed to be used on freeways. And obviously assisted by a human who should have seen a fucking parked cop car coming and intercede anyway.
But that said, fuck Elon and his deceptive naming of a fucking primitive tech that’s really only good at staying in a lane at speed under ideal conditions.
Don’t undervalue yourself
I’m gonna reduce that. Shareholders don’t give a shit about working hours. They just care about revenue and expenses.
This is purely a management issue. Upper management might insist on these metrics as a way to crack down on productivity. In my personal experience as a dev, middle management doesn’t give about metrics unless someone (upper management) forces them to. Because at the end of the day, its just a pain in the ass hounding subordinates about trivial shit if theyre actually performing where it matters. So anecdotally, I will say this seems to exclusively come from upper management. But I’m sure people have different experiences.
The problem is that upper management is usually so divorced from the real day to day problems that the easy win they can take to their superiors is stupid shit like apm metrics.
But middle aged dad bods are back in our (relative to category) prime, baby!
I mean, I’d like guns to be inaccessible (legally) to raging alcoholics too. You’re right that a crackhead and alcoholic can both be very destructive. But that doesn’t mean I want crackheads to have guns just because an alcoholic without a felony can own one.
This is the key problem that seems to be getting buried everywhere
If we’re not worrying about the cost of the pier, which I don’t think the Left is at all, then it’s really not about the storms and the maintenance that’s needed to keep it operational.
The problem is Isreal is still functionally blocking the aid from reaching the people.
So why spend so many resources on this pier and put your people at risk, when distribution of the delivered aid is blockaded the same as the land aid.
