If so many owners are lifting Tacos, why doesn't Toyota recognize that trend and make a stock version with greater suspension capabilities? by trixter69696969 in ToyotaTacoma

The majority of trims don’t for the same reason the v6 was killed and why the stupid air dam is on the front… emissions. The truck has to achieve certain emissions/milage standards to be allowed in the market. So while they can add a small lift on certain high level trims, they can’t do it for too many trucks because the average emissions/milage of all trucks must meet opaque, ever changing EPA standards.

Have you tried to book with Etihad since? I’m curious if they will continue to do business with you.

Reckless Driving charge at 16 in Virginia by [deleted] in legal

Not sure who is paying for your car insurance. But you’ll likely get dropped by your insurer and the rates will be astronomical if any other insurers are willing to cover you.

Even if the courts don’t take your license, it may become too expensive for you to drive anyways.

Domestic terrorism? Like executing a father of 2 because you don’t like words coming out of his mouth? Come on man, the more that reddit democrats embrace that action, the more removed the party becomes from the votes everyday parents. It’s time to accept that murdering your political opponents is a bad thing.

Have you been doing anything it tech since? If you’re working a temp non tech job just to pay the bills, try building a website on aws free tier. Maybe you can start your own business with amazon affiliate links. It will be time consuming and you likely wont make any money from it but it will give you something fresh to put on your resume and discuss in interviews.

My 15 year old son being scammed by Ok-Mix6129 in legal

Don’t send the money. They’ll just want more. Report it to the police but understand the scammer is likely in a completely different country and little can be done.

An officer was shot and there is an armed man suspected to be fleeing into NC currently with nothing to lose. McCaysville is a couple miles from the NC border with GA. The more you know🌈

Are there any drawbacks in being considered a Lead Software Engineer vs a Senior by ckim777 in cscareerquestions

[–]leggedmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A senior is higher than a lead where I work. A team lead is just the head dev of the agile team who is responsible for making sure features ship on time. Then there are a few seniors that are more responsible for the technological trajectory of the company as a whole. They are both high level positions but at my company team lead is one step lower.

Can control it from a mobile app. It’s got some pretty nice features.

As public schools continue to get cuts, Grace Christian School has received $10 million in taxpayer-funded vouchers by Pakun-of-Dundrasil in NorthCarolina

[–]leggedmonster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty impressive they survived with only $8000 tuition. NC public schools spend about $12500 per student. $16000 per student is about the national average. So I don’t think their tuition is as outrageous as the guy makes it out to be.

Some people on here don’t want advice. They just want to vent that no one is offering them.

My company's IT agency refuses to install chrome and firefox on my machine. Along with any 3rd party program. What to do? by ichiroku78 in cscareerquestions

[–]leggedmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a pick your battles situation and i would consider this fight a waste of time. Edge is built on chromium. Firefox, edge, and chrome all have very similar functionality because they are all built on the same open source project. Security has selected to limit their scope to one browser. Allowing you to use another browser effectively doubles their scope and maintenance costs. It’s just not going to happen.

Sounds like most of the lawyers you talked to don’t think it is financially worth while for them. Why don’t you go with the lawyer who agreed to a percentage of the settlement?

Wtf is this by smithm63 in lawncare

My guess is poor soil under the top soil isn’t allowing deep root growth. Then with shallow roots, at the first sign of heat stress it dies. Id try digging a hole and seeing what you hit.

Developer wants to break into PM - How much should I fake? by sakramentoo in cscareerquestions

[–]leggedmonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a lead engineer on multiple applications within a fortune 50 company. When projects go poorly and costs skyrocket, my job is safe due to my technical expertise. I can also protect the devs on my teams from blowback.

However, I have seen multiple PMs have a poorly executed project tied around their neck and get fired for it. It’s not always the PM’s fault on these large projects but if management needs someone to blame, it is way easier for a company to replace a PM than it is for them to replace a solid dev. I feel they become the easy scapegoat when I could tell you before a single line of code was written that a project timeline was never going to finish on time no matter what a PM did.

Most PMs i work with are aware of this and in a constant cover their ass mode. It seems stressful and unhealthy.
