    I bought a new car earlier this year. I got a Toyota. I intend on being its only owner (I will drive it until it is totaled). With the reliability I expect to get out of the car, that means I could be driving it for 15-20 years if I treat it right. Since I figure I’m going to be owning it that long 1) I wanted to get a specific configuration that I like 2) I was okay with spending a little bit extra (when you consider the intended lifetime of the car) to get it brand new.

    Since I don’t ever plan on reselling it, I don’t care about the value of the car decreasing after I buy it personally.

    It’s clearly laid out in the National Labor Relations Act as what a “supervisor” is. If you do any of the activities you are a supervisor. As a director you probably have the “responsibility to direct” employees, which would make you a supervisor.

    NLRA Section 2.11

    S’pore faces higher risk of technical recession as factory output slumps again

    Found it lying by the side of the road earlier this week. Needed a new belt and some lubricant on the cue mechanism but I think once the belt comes in it should run like new!

    Do you guys anticipate a massive increase in Lemmy traffic during the blackout, and are you preparing? It would be awesome to see Lemmy have the ability to seize the moment and capitalize here.
