  • Sometimes there is a sign saying "front in parking only" and I get it for angled parking spots but why would a sign like this ever exist for normal spots?

    Jump

  • Oh I'm sure there was. Unlike my neighbor who put up an official looking "No street parking" sign in an attempt to keep people from parking in front of their house. It lasted maybe 2 weeks.

    Always question authority.

  • LPT: Not all signs are legally binding or even enforceable.

  • New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why

    Jump

  • For what it's worth I have yet to actually physically see a new vehicle without an oil dipstick.

    It seems to be mostly a euro thing. BMW stopped using oil dipsticks nearly 2 decades ago. Land Rover also somewhere in the late 00's.

    But I agree it's a moronic idea. Not only does it prevent you from checking oil condition like you said; if it's after an oil change, it takes about 15min just to check the level (and another 15 if you messed it up). At $150+/hr shop rates, that adds up.

  • Anyone else notice a lack of Cinco de Mayo celebration this year?

  • OK, USA. Meant to add that. Definitely quieter overall.

  • With ICE being given carte blanche to do whatever they want with no oversight; would you be having a gathering? Even if you were 110% legal, would you risk getting someone who isn't snatched up?

    I tried to be festive and have been blasting Mexican music for the neighborhood; but it's like 10pm and I'm old, gotta shut it down.

  • How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?

    Jump

  • If you can't find it used or local, use eBay!

    About half the time I try that, the seller just buys it from walmart/amazon and has it drop shipped to me. So I'm not sure how much good that does.

  • Framework “temporarily pausing” some laptop sales because of new tariffs

    Jump

  • Well, my original question stands. Is it really a better business decision to choose not to sell at all vs raising prices.

    I run a US business where the cost of materials has always been volatile and the cost of the end product follows that. 40% swings aren't uncommon and just get passed onto the end user; my profit stays relatively the same. So I can't fathom just locking the doors when things get expensive (and people are still willing to pay it).

    I could understand it if they were doing it as some form of protest, but then it doesn't make sense to only stop selling the low priced options. That's just hurting the people furthest removed from what you are protesting.

    Jump

  • But like that article says, automakers have ~3 months of inventory already in the US. They aren't pausing sales, they are just continuing selling what they have here while betting the tariffs get lowered before they run out.

  • How is pausing sales in one area, rather than just raising prices accordingly, the better business decision? No one is forcing them to sell at a specific price point.

  • Why can't I block rule 34 community?

  • If you are using the web client can you go to: settings -> blocks -> Block community, and block it from there?

  • US egg imports meant to drive prices down could be hit by tariffs

    Jump

  • It appears a hen needs about 115g of feed a day to produce one 50g egg, so the product yield is less than half the input,

    That's surprisingly efficient.

  • I meant it as "So what if they ask for help? Do, or don't (donate)"

    The initial post came off to me as a dig at the admin for openly asking for money.
