3 and Y are vegan leather. The others had a cloth option, but for the new ones the leather will be vegan.

Exactly, certainly not if we are talking used cars in the Internet era. These dealerships are not pricing cars for $7k+ over auction price unless they rebuilt the title because it'…

Well that depends on if Elon is a believer in Time Cube Theory which says due to 4 corner Earth there are 4 simultaneous days each rotation.

Depends on the location and industry, but it looks like for NYC 11+ employee companies it's $12.50 cash wage / $2.50 tip credit for hospitality service, $10/$5 for food service. ht…

Can you point me to a study that shows stretching has a statistically significant positive impact on injury rates? I know it's the common school of thought, but the studies I've re…

I think their point isn't that the terms are incorrect but that the word freelancer is undervalued by respective clients versus consultant/contractor. Similar to how if you say you…

Interesting that their suggestion "People often get tired of hearing their own name. Switch tracks and use your name instead." is at odds a bit with Dale Carnegie's "Remember that …

Personally, I've considered deleting all mine because quite often years old posts will get flagged for spam or inappropriate material or some other rule despite it being the top vo…

Outside of registered trademarks, no one really has a "right" to a domain name. If the Mormon church couldn't buy LDSMatch they'd use something else. Now it's obviously financially…

My insurance requires 3 at-home failures (as in bad data, etc) before they will even approve an in-lab. I'm sure you can request one if they don't; it's cheaper for them.

By which metrics?

I don't believe cars are designed for a 15 year span, despite the average lifespan. A number of those are going to reach an early demise due to accidents and improper maintenance. …

Looks like there were some concerns with mid-90s and earlier airbags only having a 15 year life, but modern bags are designed to last the life of the vehicle: https://www.edmunds.c…

Don't worry the AI will be very realistic; it will be better than interacting with locals. /s

Yeah, no insurance. I use primary coverage through a premium credit card, which covers damage/theft, towing, and loss-of-use charges. There was a status upgrade involved and an onl…

I've switched to renting cars for large mile trips. Unlimited mileage rentals are so cheap it's worth it to avoid wear and tear even on my older car or my girlfriend's nicer vehicl…

~30% of cars are leased, so those would still be available

I think you are overestimating the time costs of an older, reliable car. I've got a 2003 Honda Civic 200k miles that I've had since it had 13k miles. I'd say it goes to the shop ov…

I used to use the + system but ran into too many issues of it not being accepted and it seems some are smart enough to strip off the + and everything after. I moved to wildcard for…

If you like 80% of your chosen career and wish to improve 20%, does it not make sense to speak out about the 20%? Else, how would we ever improve working conditions anywhere? I don…

Why would you care if his company loses someone else's money?

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that none of those countries will have solvent healthcare systems. There are steps they can take to improve the currently dire future. And …

Or work on having the means to move to a country with a more sensible health care system before you reach that point.

Part of the problem is that no one really knows where the money goes. So we wouldn't really know if he had a charity jet purchased by the company. Charity can be used to cover a lo…

I'm sure canaries died of natural causes in the mines occasionally...
