Yup, and just like the sub Tesla did multiple things that were substandard because they worked in controlled environments and even worked ok the real world for a short time before failing.

It’s like car features that have been around for 70+ years are the way they are for a reason.

Where did you get the idea that wanting reasonable wages before tips means I hate servers?

Drivers on their phones are more responsible for avoiding pedestrians than pedestrians are for trying to avoid vehicles since vehicles are large and deadly and supposedly require a license to drive. In addition to that, a pedestrian on a phone will be moving relatively slow compared to a distracted driver, and it is far easier to avoid hitting a pedestrian than it is to avoid getting run over by a car moving at an unsafe speed.

Drivers are always at fault unless a pedestrian leaps in front of them intentionally or the sidewalk is close enough to traffic that tripping and falling would end up in the path of a vehicle. The latter would be the fault of the street design if an attentive driver hit a pedestrian.

We can look at the US to see exactly what the outcome was before Obamacare. It is still awful, but it was even worse then.

A reasonable tip ensures that someone will accept your order. Nobody is forced to go pick your food up.

I member when restaurants employed drivers that actually delivered reliably without needing to bid for their attention first. Hard to forget since I was one of them!

Hourly pay was regular minimum wage instead of the server level chump change, and when using my own car I received an amount for wear and tear + gas. So in my case tips were actual tips on top of a living wage and even if nobody had tipped it would have been an alright job.

I can’t imagine trying to do the same thing for only tips.

If someone tips a set amount regularly they can easily plan ahead.

A reasonable required base level of pay for service is necessary before a tip is showing appreciation.

Whoopsie!

Netflix punished me, who does not share a password, by making it impossible to sign into a TV while on a trip because it wasn’t at my ‘home location’ without switching the location. That isn’t an option when the rest of the family is still at home and wants to watch too.

Plus Netflix had already said that sharing a password was cool with them, so it was a reversal of something that they were completely fine with when it was increasing their market share…

That has been the internet since it was first created.

You are clearly more interested in blaming drivers than acknowledging reality, so have fun with that.

Good, unpaid internships are just a free foot in the door for children of the wealthy who don’t need an income to get experience.

This is clearly an indicator that Tesla doesn’t make their suspensions as beefy as they need to since it keeps happening.

Maybe you should read the articles instead of assuming there are holes in them based on your uninformed conjecture?

You are still making things up by assuming every failure involves prior noises and symptoms.

His exuberance came to a “grinding halt” one day later, with 115 miles on the odometer, Jain told Reuters. As he drove with his wife and three-year-old daughter, he suddenly lost steering control as he made a slow turn into their neighborhood. The vehicle’s front-right suspension had collapsed, and parts of the car loudly scraped the road as it came to a stop.

Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.

You got a downvote from me for making shit up about something other than the issues being reported.

They had those as well, actual toy slot machines.

I now have a habit of giving as firm NO to anyone who seems like a staff member trying to ‘help’ me at checkout or those kiosks in the bulk type stores.

One of these days I’m going to do that out of habit when I do want help and will feel like an ass. Worth the risk though.

Or only offer annual contracts with early cancellation fees.

People that don’t pirate won’t have a choice.
