To the surprise of nobody except the completely moronic.

The records and personal accounts offer a portrait of an individual who has repeatedly been accused of defrauding business partners and lenders, has struggled with drug addiction and whose home was raided by the FBI over a decade ago.

Also to the surprise of absolutely nobody except the completely moronic.

I grew up in the 90s so just existing would cause people to call you gay.

Current profitability is up. Profit margins are also up from last year. But I could see investors looking at the lack of any path after the current Xbox and wondering why they employ so many there. I'm sure other areas have also seen some stagnation.

I use it quite a bit when I need to study for a cert. Maybe some of the more advanced features have a learning curve but just using it as a flash card system that also syncs up with Ankidroid on my phone was extremely easy to setup and use. The only cost was time to make the cards and the minute or two it took to install.

Not even 20 minutes. If you are doing 300 miles, you probably only need to sit on the charger for maybe an extra 100 miles of charge. That is maybe 5-10 minutes.

Or if you get something like the Equinox EV, you may not have to charge during that trip at all.

Almost certainly. The issue often isn't difficulty to repair but knowing what the error codes mean since they are pretty nonsensical. The company that builds them sued a company that made an add-on that made troubleshooting them significantly easier (the FTC sided with the company making the add-on). McDonald's corporate owns a large chunk of the company that makes the machines and also the company that provides the technicians. The technicians are usually done within a couple minutes because it is usually just a machine reset.

These are really not that niche. Every fast food company has similar devices but does not have machines that often breakdown and require waiting several hours for a technician to show up and fix the problem in a few minutes.

"Repair" is a bit of a stretch. Oftentimes it is pushing a series of buttons and takes less than a minute.

Managers at McDonald's don't really make a lot of money. Calling out for a tech is much more expensive and likely loses a good amount of revenue for the location.

Doesn't this open up the number of techs that they can get in which makes them cheaper? Then you are more likely to get a tech who tells you exactly what is being done wrong that causes it to stop working. If I recall correctly, it is often something done incorrectly during the cleaning process.

Another occurrence of the actual meaning behind the term "fake news."

They do especially in Texas which has no income tax. So even immigrants working under the table pay what they owe to Texas

Oh yeah. These allegations and his role in them go back years. Behind the Bastards did a pretty good series of episodes on McMahon. The guy is a massive piece of rapist shit.

 

Angela Chao, the billionaire sister-in-law of U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell and CEO of the shipping company Foremost Group, drowned tragically when her Tesla Model X, with its nearly unbreakable glass, plunged into a pond on her Texas ranch. The vehicle’s reinforced windows, a feature designed for safety, became a death trap after a reversing mistake sent her car into the water.
