- Comment on From 'quiet quitting' to 'coffee badging' — why employees are less interested in work 3 months ago:
What’s the complaint here? Showing up for the community aspect everyone was crying about and then going home to work for the rest of the day is not enough to earn the bare minimum wages everyone is offering?

I thought I was seeing the same jeep over and over, but no… Most of them have a whole row of ducks all of a sudden

Gotta transition over to cold ham because it’s easier to quit that.

Best answer right here.

Not sure what watered twice a week is referring to

I have the same question. Where is this coming from?
- Comment on You guys need to stop 11 months ago:
Haha, baiting people into a speeding ticket when they try to prove something must be very satisfying.
The only car I’ve had that was just too slow was a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. Cheap to buy, cheap to fix, cheap little tires. But so so slow. Whenever I’d borrow another car, I would inevitably chirp the tires trying to accelerate normally.

Is it light enough that the car can get out of its own way, despite the low horsepower engine?

It might look like an economy car of yesteryear, but not like the Homer

Interesting about the Mirage. Next time I’m looking for a commuter car, I’ll have to look for one of those.

Oh absolutely, I’d expect this imaginary car would be an ugly thing, and constantly panned by reviewers. People would be outraged that some nobody burned his hundreds of millions in lottery money on a trash looking car. Meanwhile, every mechanic constantly recommends it for a daily driver because it just works and is super easy to fix.

I’ve seen a few builds from scratch online. All of them say it turned out to be far FAR more difficult than they ever imagined. Once the thing works properly, it’s up to what state/ country the builder is in to determine how hard or easy it is to get it legal to drive on the road.
- Comment on You guys need to stop 11 months ago:
Surely there is an open source car by now. Some sort of street legal kit?
I do think open source car is the best label to describe what I’m dreaming of. But factory built to take advantage of bulk order pricing for the parts and because people who are actually willing and able to put their own car together are rare.

Yes! Something the size of a 90s ranger, or even a little smaller. Built with flat glass and a bench seat if we can get away with it.
- Comment on You guys need to stop 11 months ago:
Yes, I would want the price to reflect the simplicity, and lack of extras should help with that. Let the aftermarket companies do heated seats and fancy stereos.

If I ever win the lottery, I’m hiring a 50 people like you to build an incredibly basic production car together. Make it barely or technically meet the modern technology standards to be road legal in all 50 states, but use the simplest mechanical solution to everything a car needs to do. I assume a lot of systems would have to be installed as a “backup” to the electrical version, but I’d want to build it to be able to function perfectly with all the computers disconnected. Probably ship it with instructions phrased as warnings of what not to do.

Ah, yes, tracking coyotes and finishing the job matches with what I remember about the story. Thank you!
- Comment on I'm trying to find a story about a dog 1 year ago:
That is the one I found today, but I’m so sure that the herd of whatever the dog was guarding lost one youngling before the dog left the farm to track down the pack for revenge.
Again, I may be accidentally exaggerating the story.

Now that’s a blast from the past. Hank the Cowdog and all his shenanigans were a lot of fun to my younger self. Until I got old enough to understand that Hank is an absolute buffoon, I’d listen to several audio books each month.
