They are usually self-employed
That varies wildly depending on city, county, state, and (I'm guessing) country requirements. I drove for a few years in a small-ish city, and neither me nor anyone I ran into at the usual spots were self-employed. We all worked for one of two cab companies, making hourly wages plus tip.
Plug Power has also done about fifty rounds of layoffs in the last six months. Excuse me if I'm skeptical of good news.
"Not admissible because it was illegally captured" didn't give me the warm-and-fuzzies this comment sounds like it should've.
When I was in high school, the girls' running team made shirts that said, "Fast girls have good times." It's been more than twenty years, and I still think about how funny that double-entendre is.
So, yeah, you would've sold a lot more weiners.
That's why the move is to edit all of your comments into jumbled nonsense and then delete them.
The pressure of the water against the door would've prevented her from opening it regardless of the door's mechanical features or power supply issues.
The windows not shattering is absolutely a Tesla design flaw, but there's no way that woman was ever going to open a door from inside a submerged car.
It's funny how recognizing the legitimacy of the world court would just instantly remove one of the world's biggest problems.
I remember saying this about George W twenty years ago.
difficult to pin down what they really want
They want to vote for Trump and not have to tell anyone they did. It's why Trump won in 2016 despite the polling.
They're saying there was no measurable change in their lives driven by political leadership in the last 16 years? They're arguing in bad faith.
This is not a joke, they believe this.
Except for the 78% of Conservatives in support of IVF. This article is literally about Republican lawmakers scrambling because everyone is in favor of IVF.
extremely anticapitalist and pro-leftist
There's definitely some enlightened centrist bullshit crammed in there pretty unironically.
This. Everyone I talk to says, "but socialized medicine has such long wait times." But these same fuckers avoid going to the doctor until it's absolutely unbearable to deal with because it costs to much to find out if it'll get better on its own. So if you're getting symptoms of something and waiting two months anyway, how is your system better?
if your goal as a parent is to maximize success of your children.
"Success" is very subjective.
early-mid 1900s
It was still happening in the late 1980s. That's why I have bad penmanship with both hands.
What are you posting, step-brother?
"Stick it on Max" still costs money? Royalties, hosting, closed captioning and translation, GUI requirements all are going to keep chipping dollars out of a product that they did not believe would make them money.
And, as you say, DC movies have really underwhelmed. Did anyone reasonably think that the (apparently) worst one was going to draw in new subscribers?
You're close to the truth at the end there. They spent $90 million on it, found out it was an absolute dog when they started test evenings, and decided to scrap it rather than pay another $50 million+ on promotion and other post-production expenses.
With a $20 million write-off on a $90 million movie, they still lost $70 million. They just didn't want to lose more.
It still sucks for the actual creators and the fans, but it's not like doing this actually makes the studios richer. It's just about not falling into the sunk-cost fallacy.
I have a problem if I owe the bank a thousand dollars. The bank has a problem if I owe them a million dollars.
