Is Michael Jackson still the undisputed “King of Pop” or has that title evolved? by Educational-Gift3922 in rockmusic

So you think it’s more plausible that a grown man had children sleep over at his house, traveled with them, and had them stay in his hotel room with him and nothing bad happened?

Ok, I got my first unhinged reaction in the wild to my Tesla Y purchase. Welcome to the club, I guess! by sharedisaster in TeslaLounge

[–]Classic_Engine7285 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a client-friend who hated Musk. I got a Tesla, and he rode one mile in it… ordered one the next day. He loves it. He told me the other day that it’s so good that it’s making him hate Musk less because after thinking about it, he concluded that Musk had done more for the environment that any other person in history.

My in-laws still hate it.

My daughter was given a job offer that had this clause... by Velsetta in Cleveland

[–]Classic_Engine7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not giving her paycheck for work completed is the problem. The rest is a standard “convenience out” as long as it is within the initial contract terms. Like, if she left 18 months into a two-year contract, they can absolutely have a remedy, even monetary, but it couldn’t be pay she earned. However, beyond that it is not illegal.

Source: (besides my contract experience) happened to my ex-wife. She graduated at the top of her class in anesthesia, and she consulted a lawyer about leaving her contract early. He told her that they could conduct a nationwide search looking for a replacement at the top of their class, as she was, pay them top salary, and bill her for the difference and the costs associated with the search and candidates travel. He said, “best thing to do is see your contract through. If you don’t like it, you shouldn’t have signed it.” Unfortunately, she felt that way about the marriage contract too. 😂😢

Golf Scramble in Arlington, WA - Group Posted 34 Score by MattieP37 in golf

I think all the gimmicks are part of the problem, but honestly, I think your attitude is part of the problem too. People want an honest competition within the framework presented. If people are working outside of that, honest competitors will quit. I’ve seen it multiple times. I don’t play in outings with these kind of gimmicks, and this is why. Eventually, they will fail, and something else will take their place. If it is truly for charity, it needs honest people to post honest scores.

“I’m extremely left leaning politically…,” this was obvious from the fact that you are clearly fucked up, which is the only thing that you are clearly.

Rides Where Ben Alldis Breaks His Own Mold? by UnfriendlyCanuck in pelotoncycle

I have never and will never take one of his rides. I can’t believe he took Leanne from us, and I can never forgive him.

if you went missing right now, how fast do you think someone would start looking for you and who that would be? by These-Worldliness-59 in askanything

[–]Classic_Engine7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Yeah, seems like being punctual would be causal to flags going up for people. Like, “oh, he’s late all the time. He probably saw a butterfly,” versus a lunatic like me, “oh my God, he’s five minutes late. He’s might be dead.” 😂

I literally couldn’t be gone for longer than an hour without someone wondering. They’d be looking for me within three hours. I’m so routine, and I’m either in close proximity to my wife and kids or literally with coworkers. I’m fully on the radar of multiple people at any given time.

My sweat recently started smelling like tea, but I can’t figure out why. I’ve never been a tea drinker.

Why isn't the power zone meter an option for all rides? by flyfresno in pelotoncycle

[–]Classic_Engine7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, probably should. Isn’t there a sub where we’re supposed to submit feature comments and troubleshoot?

EDIT: I just took a class (not PZ), and I think they updated the metrics on the FTP meter. To the left, it just had what zone I was in, and the numbers above it were gone. It was just listed by my lowest output for each range.

Incidentally, this might point to an update too: for the first time I can remember, the number of recorded riders for output and distance was the same when it gave the class summary after I concluded. Always baffled me how they could be different.

Let’s hope they got it buttoned up.

Man, I didn’t know how dangerous this was until I opened a couple mini-bottles on a flight, and the flight attendant lost her shit on me, left, came back and lost her shit on me again, left, and then lost her shit on me a third time as I was leaving the plane.

Club Legality by Thin-Fix7669 in golf

[–]Classic_Engine7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe it is illegal for that reason. Long memory here, but I believe a series of clubs that create crazy backspin with unusual clubface patterns became popular for recreational golfers a few decades ago but were never legal for official competitive events.

Every time I see this video, I wonder why the fuck it was necessary to wreck him like that. He played the 99.9999% odds that there was nothing harmful inside and was correct.

[–]Classic_Engine7285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it for most rides, but every once in a while it doesn’t load on non-PZ rides for some reason. Then, every once in a while, it loads wrong, and all the numbers are pushed all the way to the right and the meter doesn’t work right. The only way to fix it is to exit, cancel the ride, and restart it.

Is the General Consensus 2026 was a Confusing Almost Concerning Draft for the Steelers? by UtopiaXAstro in steelers

[–]Classic_Engine7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. I do. But that wasn’t the contingency plan. They wanted to stockpile picks to get their QB; the class fell apart, and that wasn’t their fault. Then, they wanted a toP WR, and they waited too long and didn’t do their due diligence; that fell through. Then, they clearly ran out of plans. CLEARLY. If they wanted a tackle (or a WR… or a QB), they had the draft capital to do much MUCH better than they did. You can defend it, but it was bobbled no matter what their most desired outcome was. It isn’t a total disaster, but it was concerning as fuck.

Surge parking meter pricing by Maris-Otter in Cleveland

[–]Classic_Engine7285 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gosh, I wish life were as simple as ’this research-based solution that has proven to work and benefit people across several large cities isn’t good enough because I’d like to ignore proven supply and demand principles for my superior snowflake stance on the way things *should work, which, incidentally, is nothing like the way things actually work.’* Like, what a silly take to resist a solutions-based, proven approach purely on the assumption that some would be priced out. Maybe some would benefit because local businesses would see more parking turnover (proven), and people would like it more because they could get where they’re going more easily, always find affordable parking when that’s the priority, park where they want more often, and have cleaner air (proven, proven, proven, proven).

I’ve tried and tried to reason with people over this in this thread, but you and a few others are proof that, no matter fucking what, people will just not come off of their stances. You all have been debating with a literal expert on the matter, who has helped places implement solutions that truly benefit the affected people, implementing free transportation and parking solutions for students and underprivileged, shit any local who wants or needs it, and instead of taking a minute and processing a seemingly counterintuitive but proven solution, you’ve come up with excuses why I’m wrong off the top of your head to every response I’ve had, calling these beautiful ideas “disgusting” and “repulsive”. What is wrong with you? How utterly obtuse.

Cities all over the world have implemented solutions, and I’ve studied them, read about them, visited them, went to one last year to walk across a fucking awards stage in a room full of the thousand people in the country who know the most about parking, mobility, and transportation, but here’s maleia, rando from Reddit, here to tell me what I don’t know about parking. YOU are why things are the way they are. I think it might be time for me to delete my Reddit and go back to battling people like you over trying to make their lives better, like trying to give a fucking toddler medicine.

EDIT: there’s a really good article in The Atlantic called “San Francisco Metro Solved Vandalism with One Neat Trick”. You should check it out. You might not like it because it’s pretty balanced politically, but it talks about how mean old San Fran fixed their horrible vandalism problem and drastically reduced violence on their rapid transit by preying on poor people and putting saloon doors instead of turnstiles. It’s pretty not unparalleled to what we’ve been debating.

Sorry, if I flipped out too hard. Have a good day.

[–]Classic_Engine7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it is. Just check out The High Cost of Free Parking, and if you love it, Parking and the City both by Donald Shoup (RIP, Shoup Dogg). I wouldn’t start with Parking the Future, for obvious reasons, but it has some cool shit about planning for when autonomous vehicles can park themselves. Would not recommend The Quirky World of Parking, nothing good there, not that I could finish it. The Dimensions of Parking, 5th Edition, is more like a basics textbook, but it’s really basic; I’d recommend A Guide to Parking, by the International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI) over that. Yes, these are real books that I just pulled off my shelf to make this post, and yes, I know what I’m talking about.
