Not saying this guy is wrong, but what you're describing as the Toyota way is pretty much how all traditional OEMs operate (my limited experience with Ford included). They have a book of specifications that they release to a tier 1 for a part when it's being developed. The problem with this...

I promise you it's not. This has been going around, but it's a bunch of clickbait bullshit. If you look, they cite a rider to one of these omnibus bills that requested NHTSA work on a standard for drunk driver monitoring/interlock targeting implementation in 2027. Problem is, the technology...

Just got an email from my local shitbag utility asking to complete a survey. As compensation for my time, they'll donate $10 to a charity of their choice in their name. How about you guys pay me and I decide where that money goes. Also, while you're at it, stop paying for advertising and pay...

More like happy nub season. Fucking asshole deer...

I've had two procedures on my knee, the first was just a scope and the second a full ligament reconstruction. The scope I was given the option to stay awake and just have a local. I opted to get knocked out, but I sort of regretted it later on. Second time around, for the reconstruction, I told...

Dumb 19 year old me drove into Canada to drink and my first thought was: "Holy shit, gas is cheap here!" I proceeded to pull into a gas station and promptly remembered they were on the metric system when the amount in liters quickly rocketed past my tank's capacity in gallons. Probably a good...

It's good to see he's all grown up now. Added the missing caption.

It's hard for me to offer advice there - I didn't have any coursework, was just sort of thrown to the wolves and forced to figure it out. I know of some people that used The Learning Pit — LadderLab Temporary Sales Pause but it's currently down while they update the courses or something. I'd...

Have you considered something like industrial controls? I'm sure you could easily pick up something like Logix on an Allen Bradley PLC with your background. You honestly wouldn't be taking much of a pay cut if you got good at it.

Yeah, one. Try dozens. Women put out some of the dumbest possible signs. I went on a first date with a girl, she rebuffed any advances I made, but it went well (so I thought), ended with a pretty g rated kiss. She texts me and says it's not going to work out. I ask why, she says "after that...

My son is suddenly really into Curious George. I found an episode compilation on YouTube from the official Curious George channel. Turns out it's an edited compilation that only has the set up of George causing some issue, but never shows the resolution. The fuck is this bullshit? What kind of...

I googled this and was severely disappointed it wasn't an arm wrestling simulator set in the 80s. No sale for me!

That's definitely supposed to be a dick those people are dancing around, right? Oblig: GIS for dumbest outfit

I think those whole home arresters are a good additional step for most houses. That's probably as far as I'd reasonably go (whole home at service entrance, surge protection power strips for sensitive electronics). For convenience, your utility can even install them in the meter if they're not...

I get that, was more talking about stuff I've read about it like the submarine garage, the hospital with hyperbaric chambers, and the whole research wing that allegedly is on the ship. The stuff they focused on just seemed like generic yacht stuff - oh wow, they have a nice kitchen, who would...
