Yeah, they’re not even close for hotel. Here’s the etymology:

They’re correct about motel, though:
Holy hell there are some great deals on that website! Thanks for the rec, I wouldn’t have believed it was real if I just stumbled upon it.
If the government doesn’t take care of his poor, minorities, what are they doing.
Facilitating the transfer of wealth to the richest fraction of the population.
I’ve been wondering why Tesla (or others) doesn’t set up a system where drivers opt-in (no opt-in by default) to sending anonymized driving data to help train the model.
That’s exactly how they train the model, but every Tesla is opted in with, to my knowledge, no option to opt out.
I have seen some surprisingly uninformed users on the Internet, but you’re definitely up amongst the worst of them.
You know you’re on the Internet, right? You can use it to learn things instead of uncritically repeating whatever your favorite talking heads said.
GotDAMN, that’s the fastest preemptive block I’ve ever made here. Thanks for pointing that out.
He truly is an idiot. I wish he’d just step down from Tesla. The company has some great ideas, but instead of making them better, he’s making everything worse.
Edit: some of the newer cars are being reequipped with radar but it’s not being actively utilized because of idiocy.
I’ve also had mixed results. My 2018 Prius is flawless, not a single false brake in nearly seven years. We recently purchased a Tesla (I know, I know, long story) and we had to turn the braking sensitivity so far down that the feature is now basically useless.
It’s actually Steve Huffman, AKA “Spez”, and the website Reddit.com.
I do love that so many people on the internet know exactly who you’re talking about when you say “greedy little pig boy”.
Hi, I’m disabled although I’m still working (at the moment, may break further). I agree with you.
The biggest issue to consider for any company hiring a significantly disabled person, whether mentally, physically, or both, is they’ll be less productive and may require much more oversight, meaning they contribute less to the company. This is the justification behind the lower pay. It makes sense if you’re a shit sack capitalist that values production above anything else.
With that being said, Goodwill is absolutely taking advantage of the disabled. They’re ostensibly a non-profit charity that exists to provide employment, leading to training and work experience, to the disabled community. They pay their disabled employees the lowest amount possible, actively working to justify low pay. Imagine if your employer was constantly looking to drop your salary so you had to constantly fight them over it. Now pretend you have a significant TBI or are developmentally disabled (just imagine your mental capacity while drunk, but without the feeling good) and still having to fight that. Welcome working for Goodwill.
Fuck Goodwill right in their “charity” hole.
I think their metaphor is referring to ease of use and the knowledge required for use. I have a few personal anecdotes as examples.
I’m an eighties kid. My first PC was a Commodore 64 and my first car was a 1966 VW Bug. Neither was reliable nor easy to use. I had to learn to utilize interfaces that were more finicky and complex than modern equivalents, and I spent a great deal of time learning how to make them work when they glitched out or were broken. The alternative was not having them at all. It was hard to get BBS advice when your PC took a dump and no one else you knew had one you could use, and then where would you get car advice? Certainly not from my dad!
A kid growing up with an Apple anything and driving a 20 year old car doesn’t face the same kinds of difficulties. Many things just work more reliably and aren’t as difficult to use. One can easily buy gaming systems now where we often had to build our own to get what we wanted. My buddy’s 23 year old daughter had never even heard of CLI. That’s all I had!
It doesn’t make one generation better than the other - younger people today are skilled in ways I could have only dreamed of. We just have different opportunities for excellence.
Oh shit, no puffins for me after all. Thanks for sharing this.
The United States in the Seattle, Washington area, land of the million dollar starter home and $8.00 cup of (shitty) coffee.
I’m totally into that, we’ll check it out. Thank you for the recommendation!
It helps that we’re from a high cost of living area. Honestly, we’re paying less to eat out here than where we live. The tourism industry is absolutely gouging, though, and I hate what that’s doing to the economy for locals.
Great so far! There are a ton of fellow tourists and it’s a bit pricey, but it’s beautiful and the people are very nice. Plus where else can you eat a puffin?
This isn’t terrible advice, but it’s presented in such a way that I want to strike the author for being such a smug prick.
Get out of here with your “nuance” and “critical thinking skills”!
/s, great job, keep up the good work
