That's terrifying. It is a low number, but that it is non zero and the presence of a manual control would change the outcome is not good.

Of course you could find an old car with manual windows, but that would lack quite a few other safety features that have saved many more lives.

Starting to get on the fuck cars bandwagon, just wish I lived somewhere where that was an option.

It wasn't an oversight, it is a feature because manual door pulls are old fashioned and not as cool.

Electronic windows were an improvement over hand cranked, but the doors could still be opened. Though I do wonder if they have ever been the cause of a loss of life.

I agree that this design should have never passed any safety board. That the ability to open the door can be disabled or made much more difficult.

Does anyone else really want to write them now just to get an official rejection letter?

Seems to me that if you can discriminate on gender identity and sexual orientation, you should be able to discriminate on any basis at all. Maybe next time this asshole goes out to dinner, he should be served like the little bitch he is. Bring his food and drink in pet bowls and remove his silverware.

But if it is wider it cooks through more. A nice thick patty gives me a nice tasty medium rare burger that soaks the bun with burger juice.

Trump had it stolen and brought to the Whitehouse so he can spend time with his wife.

Can't imagine adding a floor piecemeal.

They tried to apply the building code laws. In Florida, if you do a renovation and keep the foundation and one wall, you can build to the code at the time of construction. These "protections" never applied to assessment and tax.

Many houses in that exact area have been bought for cheap and flipped using this work around. They end up with a modern house but can avoid having to spend extra for upgraded storm mitigation, plumbing, and electric.

Can't wait to see how well it works to glue armored panels on.

Strip me off my decent life and try to make me work labor. I will. But my incompetence will be the greatest incompetence. My wages will do nothing but pay for my mistakes and I will just keep making them.

I'd call him a douche nozzle, but I doubt he sees that much action.

Fucking cunt thinks he invented something he calls Bottle night. No, he just found a way to make spending time with him bearable. Fucking little shits have to "invent" something to spend time with actual people

 
  • Most tipped workers already don't pay federal taxes.
  • Increasing the tipped minimum would do more.

Edit: really there should be no minimum lower than the hourly minimum.

 

“Those people . . . ” Donald said, trailing off. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

“I don’t know,” he finally said, letting out a sigh. “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”

Wait! What did he just say? That my son doesn’t recognize me? That I should just let him die?

Did he really just say that? That I should let my son die . . . so I could move down to Florida

 

The parties used to work together, it was unthinkable to not compromise for their constituents. Today we hear politicians talk as if it would be treason to work with members from the other side.

There is no both sides in this either. One side wants to govern alone to their own interests, not those of their constituents.
