That’s one hell of a depreciating asset ya got there.

To be fair, uber often got around many of the taxes and regulations others in the transportation industry faced such as the NYC taxi medallion. A lot of the added taxes were simply bringing them inline with the rest of the industry, they were price competitive because they had less overhead due to the lack of regulation and operated at a loss. This was all part of their customer acquisition plan. I still remember the first summer lyft was a thing around here that’s all I took because it was artificially cheap to try and attract customers.
A lot of animals are hyper attracted to salt, that could be it. I know a deer will lick your dried piss off a rock for some salt from my days camping.
I never said anyone was speeding I said the car in front of me was going 15 miles an hour under the limit, so even people going the limit will be coming up significantly faster than they expect. There’s a reason some highways have a minimum speed limit. If you cannot operate a vehicle at least 5 below the speed limit you shouldn’t be driving on that road. Also sudden slow downs in traffic literally cause accidents daily which is why we shouldn’t be causing them when we have the ability not to.
You seem to think im defending speeding when all i am really saying is big deviations from the limit in either direction increase the chances of an accident exponentially.
Even eyebrows?
While I wouldn’t pass dangerously it has to be said that a slow driver is definitely a hazard if they are significantly below the speed limit. Especially on a highway. Ive been caught behind someone doing 15 under and it is extremely scary as you hope everyone behond you see’s you in time. In general speed differential causes accidents both in the case of people speeding and going under the limit.
Because, at least from my software dev perspective, if upper management realizes how easy it would be to make someone on the team a “team lead” pay them a smidge more and then use metric tools to make sure stuff got done there would be no need for middle managers.
I work for a fortune 500, tons of beauracracy, and the people always moaning about people being in the office are most often the least useful people in the building. Lording over people’s cubes “keeping tabs” is seen as a way to tell their bosses they are valuable.
Ive said it so many times to my boss who is on my side and has fought for me to WFH: “If I stop working you will know it instantly, things won’t work and besides theres an entire dashboard I have to self report my progress to which again I can lie on for a bit, but will be obvious if I do so longer than a week”.
There’s also another factor of the sunk cost fallacy, many corps own buildings or are on long leases, leaving them empty looks like a massive waste of money even though tbh leaving them empty by my assessment would actually save them money.
One issue I see is reports as recent as a month ago of people bringing an instance to it’s knees with a python script on 1 desktop computer. It’s one thing to ask for more instances and investment into the hardware to run them from more people, but it’s another thing not realizing that the code itself is heavily under optimized. For now, and you can see this everytime there’s an outage via the atlassian uptime tracker notes, server owners are throwing more resources to bandaid issues.
I myself am currently running an under optimized application for my company, we are using 4x the amount of money to run it as what it’s meant to replace currently. At a certain point even throwing the kitchen sink at problems stops working.
Lemmy’s code needs to mature more, but im excited about the future for sure.
One of the google reviews after I translated it seems to hint at something:
“I have been living across the street from this store for 3 years now. I only see dark people inside”
Another said
“What a dark store”
Anyway it’s odd that a 7+ year old store with a 2.9 on google has survived this long.
It’s usually just not declaring profits in my experience, it’s brutally addictive to slap 30% ish profit on top of everything.
My boss at a pizza place had 2 registers he would use for various reasons but it all boiled down to one being reported to the IRS and the other not.
I know a liqour store that has a small bar inside thats cash only, I got friendly enough with a manger that basically admitted the locals that hung out there were mostly blue collar and came in after work where they got payed cash. Meanwhile the retail liqour customers largely were card users. So the owner made the bar cash so he could report less. Makes sense why its the cheapest bar around by a large margin.
It essentially is calling someone a communist supporter. In 1956 Hungry had an uprising against the soviet union (USSR) communist rule. The soviets used tanks to crush the revolutnaries swiftly and used a similar tactic in 1968 to quell similar events in Czechia. When members of the communist party of Great Britain showed support for these actions it became common in GB to refer to them as tankies referencing the attack on hungry. The term has now expanded its use from exclusive to brittish political discourse to more global/universal label for a sympathizer to opressive communist regimes.
