It's a discount in name. They're playing with words.
Yesterday you lunch at a coffee shop for $10. Today you go in to find that same lunch is $11.00, but if you pay with cash, you get a 9% "discount". So that lunch ends up $10. So... not really a discount, they just found a way to say "we're not charging extra for using a card, we're giving a 'discount' for paying cash."
"I'm perfect to join the Naval Academy! I have a belly button!"
That's the kind of recruits they want in apparently.
I've found they're not really giving a discount, at least in my neck of the woods. They jack up the prices to include the credit surcharge, and then when you pay cash, you're actually paying what would have been the "normal" price.
This belongs in c/funny... because it's funny if that dude thinks $10 is buying him anything these days.
Then they look at their "clean" EV and look no further that the EV itself because they're told "it's clean". Nevermind the pollution and destruction that goes on behind the scenes. Electricity comes from somewhere, the paints produced are the same process as traditional vehicles, the components and so on.
It's just burying their heads in the sand. The feel better about themselves because they see it as they're not affecting the environment (which is in itself wrong - just not doing it directly).
That's if they don't outright ban them in the name of the "environment." The amount of shit I get for my older vehicles and these kids telling me they hope the gov't bans them because of pollution (then same kid gets in his H3 or X5).
I seem to remember on most of the vehicles I have owned (admittedly none newer than 2000), the driver's door always opened from the inside, even if locked.

I can't take Mary seriously with a signature/username like that.
Wait, I gotta pay into my own pension, now I'm paying for those overseas?
And I guarantee when it's time to collect mine, it's done a disappearing act.
It's the usual game. They know that MSM hasn't covered this angle. So, now FEMA is going and FJB will say "Hey, look, we're here for you, we always were," and the fuckwads that worship him will believe him.
Systems controlled by greed, spew their content all over the place when they fail.
FTFY
Pepperidge Farm may remember, but Brandon forgot before he even finished signing the order.
If you don't have a DB5 with chain guns and an ejector seat, I'm disappointed.
To be fair, even if there were no incident, I wouldn't think anything of him refusing.
I used to ride to work with a train conductor I knew, and every day another passenger would bring her a coffee. When this other guy wasn't looking, she'd dump it. I was confused, and asked why, as she did like coffee.
She told me she didn't know if that guy, innocent looking as he was, tried to put anything in it. Made sense.
Seems like a smart thing to do if someone just hands you something to consume and you didn't see it from the source.
Seriously, my first though at as well. All I needed was a bullshit excuse to up my consumption of red meat.
That's the plan. They're going after staples, the things that will cause the most damage with least effort.
Sorry dude, what would that prove? They supposedly took the vax on camera too.
You just made the mistake yourself.
Some older vehicles would illuminate the MIL when there was a failure in the ABS system - more common pre-OBD-II.
However, let's stick with emissions. Perfectly fine, if one of those emissions sensors fails?
If one of the intake air (volume - MAF, pressure - MAP, temperature - IAT) sensors are failing, they can deliver the wrong info the computer. Your car can stall while you're driving as a result of too little or too much fuel.
A failing oxygen sensor causes driving issues. Slam on the gas to merge in with one failing, and the engine may fall on it's face.
Timing faults can trigger an MIL. Again, the vehicle can stall with the vehicle in motion.
Yep, only related to emissions, but far from "perfectly fine."
I have no idea how much actual electronics are involved to know if they have features that would identify if the cart's brakes are overheating
I haven't read too much into this incident tbh, but I seem to remember this being a failed gearbox and not a brake issue. The end result can be the same, the wheels lock and drag along the steel rail, heating the wheels and anything nearby. Working in passenger rail I can tell you this will happen very fast.
Unfortunately fairly common. Maintenance being what it is, they just say "false reading," and push on. It's just like you ignoring your Check Engine light because you think you know it's a malfunctioning sensor, and your car's still running and rolling along.
I'm with you. Then again I'm racist - I can't stand fried chicken by itself.
And yet damned near every black person I work with (and my workforce is majority black) raves about chicken and waffles... so, they love it, but to comply is racist. Victims no matter what.

Had to do you the favor as well.
Why do I picture this story being told on Seinfeld and this is George's takeaway from the whole thing?
It also states that the company has a history of down playing the severity... so it's possible this may be bad for the company too. May get another team in there that will tell the truth.
