I’ve been watching Monk recently, without ads, and it’s very interesting how television shows used to be written and edited for commercials. It’s dead obvious where the commercials used to be, and even that detracts from the overall experience.
I seem to recall that Mercedes did it without incident.
And relieve corporate from all sorts of other liabilities, placing those on the individual drivers, too.
Workers’ Comp claims? Malfeasance (driver or passenger)? Health insurance? Paid time off? Vehicle insurance? All fall to the driver.
Yo cat, I heard you liked cats.
This picture clearly shows cats and you have posted it to @cat@lemmy.world
“Crossover” was essentially “minivan without sliding doors.”
4x4 generally means “you have a second gear selector to choose 2wd or 4wd Hi or 4wd Lo,” whether that selector is a mechanical lever or a switch.
“Full time 4wd” and AWD mean that the car is always driving all four wheels, there is no selector to switch to 2wd, and usually with the primary being front wheel drive, with a teeny driveshaft sending a small percentage of the power (like 20% or 30%) to the rear wheels (though that may change based on traction control sensor inputs).
I apologize for the length of the previous sentence.
You’ve unilaterally decided that “AN SUV MUST BE BODY ON FRAME!” and that’s just not the case.
Plenty of large SUVs are unibody.
In this specific example, I believe the driver buckled the child, closed the door, then was unable to open any door before starting the vehicle. Is it possible to either start the vehicle or at least turn on the climate control from outside? If not, this was a horribly dangerous situation.
Pushes early and more treatable health concerns into later, less treatable, and more expensive concerns.
For profit healthcare operates even against its own interests.
The car’s owner, Renee Sanchez, was taking her granddaughter to the zoo, but after loading the child in the Model Y, she closed the door and wasn’t able to open it again. “My phone key wouldn’t open it,” Sanchez said in an interview with Arizona’s Family. “My car key wouldn’t open it.” She called emergency services, and firefighters were dispatched to help.
Just so nobody thinks someone left a kid in the car and then went into a store or something. Tesla should be paying for the broken window repair at the very least.
Exactly. This is the best I’ve got. I could be so much worse.
“Structured” refers to the query language.
I know who I am.
“You’re not wrong. You’re just an asshole.”
I made my peace with that a long time ago.
Which IA failed to do, which is why they got sued, and why they can’t lend those publishers’ books at all anymore.
I have no sympathy.
Oh I’m sure. When I was in Catholic elementary school in the late 70s and early 80s, there was still a paddle on display in the office. Whether it was still put to use or not, I can’t say, but as children, it was pointed out to everyone, and we all feared it. The administration actively failed to dispel any myths about it, so even if they weren’t still beating children with it physically, they still were mentally.
Gestures broadly
I think that’s a good idea, and you might consider a subscription to a news-adjacent magazine, like The Atlantic, Salon, Vanity Fair.
One of the things that I do is organize my Freetube subscriptions into interest categories. Motoring, Academia, Whistler (the Simon Whistler Empire of Channels is pretty darn good), some others. That way, I can go put information into my head without it being every single news outlet video clip.
I also pick exactly one place to interact in comments sections, and right now that is fediverse. All other internet comments are dead to me.
Monk doesn’t go that far, and it’s still obvious. “Here’s a joke before commercial!” Pause. Fade back in to a new scene. Pause. “Here’s a little cliffhanger before commercial!” Pause. Fade back in to a new scene. Pause.
