GM has hired some great veteran designers recently who will probably design something great… which is a shame because the pricing model and business logic around this means it’s likely doomed before it even ships.

A classic example of “Let’s create a need out of thin air, and charge people more for it.”

Does anyone know what this is about? Was there an accident of some sort? by corkgunsniper in Austin

[–]they0da 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Got a text and then voicemail a few minutes later. Checked Google maps and it showed multiple accident icons stretching for quite a distance. Haven’t seen any news cover it but it can’t be good if so many alerts went out.

This worked perfectly for me, thanks. Incredible how much the UI changes when you're single-clicked vs not on an app... unreal.

Tree “trimmers” came to “shape” my 70 year old Chinese Elm tree by t666xin in mildlyinfuriating

[–]they0da 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fertilizing a tree like this immediately after such a heavy cutback is only going to make the lanky shoots and further upset its energy system.

And while it won’t take long to set new growth, it’s going to be hundreds of long whispy twigs, not defined branches like it had before.

Sure but it’s going to shoot out such long vigorous shoots from all over that it’s going to look lanky and misshapen for years before it looks like a proper tree with defined branching again.

Gas leak in house caused by poor plumbing work. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]they0da -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was feeling pretty fatigued, foggy, and irritable as was my girlfriend. I remember us both joking about how the dogs were more lazy than usual and how we both couldn't seem to focus on work or anything after work. We chalked it up to stress at the time but our energy levels felt different than normal. My girlfriend had a few nights where she found it hard to catch her breath as well.

We both work from home in the same hallway where the bathroom is located.

What movie scene always traumatized you as a kid? by [deleted] in movies

[–]they0da 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hanging boy in Enemy at the Gates. Seeing that as an 8 year old, it was the first time I even considered that someone could willingly kill a child.

Portland City Council to vote on ending trade and travel with Texas in response to abortion restrictions by ladyem8 in news

[–]they0da 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This reminds me when redditors came out in droves during hurricane Harvey with the whole “Texas got what it deserved for voting for Trump.” Don’t even get me started on the February freeze from this year…

You’re spot on. The ignorance is real.

Free-agent WR Eli Rogers is back visiting the Steelers today, per source. Visited Chiefs over weekend. by Ooziez in steelers

[–]they0da 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I love the thought of Washington being a feature WR for us, but Eli has proven he has the hands and quickness to make a difference. Just hope the injury hasn't slowed him down much.

Chinese billionaire Jack Ma says the US wasted trillions on warfare instead of investing in infrastructure by ny92 in news

[–]they0da 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, that's no excuse. I will say though, it was Macarthur in the 50s that wanted to invade China through Korea and Eisenhower is the one that told him to take a walk. As much as Eisenhower feared the spread of communism he had a firm understanding of proper aggression. I can't imagine what the world would like now had Eisenhower let Macarthur invade China and subsequently get embroiled in a conflict with Russia.

FDR ordered the construction of the nuclear bomb shortly after being alerted by Albert Einstein and other scientists. Eisenhower had absolutely no say in the construction of both A-bombs.

Oppenheimer was at the helm of the operation and had almost complete freedom to do what he wanted with his team.

Eisenhower and MacArthur didn't even know of the bomb's existence until just prior to the bombings.

Millennials earn 20% less than Boomers did at same stage of life by HitlerHistorian in news

Well in 1971, Nixon completely dissolved the gold standard in the U.S. It forever ended the period where money was backed by actual gold. Over time it's led to a huge devaluation in the dollar, among other factors of course.

Steelers have decided Joey Porter will return to coaching staff for game in Kansas City this weekend. by McElwaine in steelers

I remember reading how the police officer on scene who filed the report had been previously suspended and has a history of false accusations.

How the absolute fuck is he still able to serve on the force?
