That’s true, and but the part
they just don’t often get held accountable bcs it’s never to, for, or by the public (and pubic values, common morals, etc).
Is the “special” part of it. If they were held accountable by their peers, their peers might also be held accountable. Class solidarity in action.
Well, yes, except not for executives because they’re special. And they have golden parachutes.
But wow if I was to take over some of the VP roles I’ve seen with the risk they accept, there would be years of work just patching shit.
Well that’s the exact reason these people are so horny for AI.
the VP accepted the risk
Ok, and you fired him, and the replacement… did they accept all the risk too?
At the time the computers were kinda newfangled and they tolerated some hippies over there in research.
The business part, well, yeah.
It’s a good thing that there’s no illegally imported guns in Canada, otherwise this might just punish legal gun owners.
This supports my practice of waiting until the plant is wilted and dropping leaves, right?
I don’t think that’s a heat shield; all it would be shielding is the ground from the engine. It’s right under the oil pan.
The metal probably is sharper too, and harder. It’s an opportunity to tell the customer that something broke and they should come back tomorrow and get it fixed for 1/4 hr labour, or it may fall off in the near future.
The tech cut corners and the chain may suck, but I object to the way the article presents the issue. It’s not like they zip tied brakes on.
TFA really overstates the importance of the part in question. The part is typically is plastic, and serves primarily an aerodynamic function, improving fuel mileage, with a secondary function protecting the engine bay and limiting ingress of dust and debris. It’s really not a critical part and typically replacing every bolt with a zip tie of sufficient size (that is important) would be enough to hold it in place. It is indeed quite common for the bolts to be replaced with zip ties; often the bolts are weird shapes and sizes and threading. In fact, several cars I’ve worked on have used plastic screws which wouldn’t have significantly greater strength than a zip tie.
But in this car it’s metal, which makes me wonder if it’s a semi-structural component and therefore the zip ties wouldn’t hold, though this is again a pretty uncommon configuration outside of convertibles (which need reinforcement as they lose the roof structure). The photo in TFA shows some very thin sheet metal, and I don’t think that it is structural in any way.
In any case, if a shield falls off your car and it makes you drive into a ditch, particularly after you’re made aware there is a problem, I’m not sure you’re really prepared to safely operate a 1500kg wheeled vehicle at 100kph.
Some big (expensive) names in there called out.
Now I really am curious about the bulk companies like myprotein.
Also, a lot more in plant based. Is soy a heavy metals sink? Rice is, and cocoa.
I’m gonna guess:
she’s not part of the establishment
she tells it like it is
And other such rot
Class solidarity in shambles.
Unionize when the going is good; don’t wait until the company is struggling, and the job market is strained.
Just look at tech. They’ve got the latter, not the former, but there’s a lot of people wishing they had a collective bargaining agreement guaranteeing a payout if they’re laid off because management fucked up.
“Let’s try to get this thing done with a ridiculous deadline, knowing full well that the work will be discarded because of overriding factor X but it looks good that the team got it done in the deadline someone set, so the someone will get their bonus”
Now, ask them if they’re going to start paying rent because they don’t own the land their house is on.
“NOT LIKE THAT!”
I understand why you say it’s an environmental waste, and that has some merit, until we consider the impact of junk mail, flyers, etc. There are many areas of modern society we can economize and improve upon before we get to the impact from paper billing.
What is your alternative to a pile of paper on a desk? It needs to be persistent, timely, and reliable. Online billing portals mean I need to log in on a regular basis to multiple portals in order to check for notifications and invoices, which simply doesn’t work for my brain. Having a bill sitting out, on which I am able to write the payment amount and date, permits me to keep track of the bill throughout its lifecycle at a glance from across the room.
I agree with all those points. Door to door mail delivery was a postwar job creation program in USA as far as I know, maybe it’s the same for Canada, but it is a luxury unless it’s super high density.
I have a recycling bin next to my mailbox. Almost everything goes in there. I can check it once a week.
But schools should be teaching critical thinking and reasoning, empathy, and expose children to different cultures.
You know, woke stuff.
When kids aren’t taught how to think critically, there’s a greater chance they’ll be caught up in the fallacies of the populist conservative movement.
