For most these things, it is far cheaper to simply use some sort of SaaS than to actually set things up in house. There's probably plenty of times where it'd in theory be cheaper in the long term, but most businesses are going to see the short term savings as extra capital to try to expand.

Homeboy here probably wouldn't, but this is Missouri. Cops getting shot/shooting someone who shot at them because they're dumb as fuck and don't announce who they are is not an altogether uncommon occurrence here. There's a reason STL (at least ostensibly) banned no-knocks.

I'm pretty sure the main reason people hate Jobs is because by all accounts he was an absolute ass and was objectively a wackadoodle when it came to that homeopathic healing shit and not showering.

I'm aware, and I'm more than happy to trade my car for my neck in any situation.

The issue is the proliferation of big fuckoff trucks. Had it been another reasonably sized car, it likely would have been a simple bumper replacement for both cars. Instead, I'm out a car for a significant period of time in an area where doing anything without a car is essentially just not a thing.

Ah yes, because something you know ahead of time is a comedy/tragegy/what have you is totally the same as randoms on the internet

It's honestly ridiculous. My sedan was totaled last year after being rear ended at a red light at maybe 5mph by a big fuck off truck. Minor cosmetic damage to their bumper, completely crushed the rear frame of my cat.

Thankfully, no one was hurt beyond bruising, which is the most important part.

I believe they changed it to just Max (because heaven forbid they keep the same name for more than 18 months)

To be fair, a record low is still record engagement

Maybe it's just a case of hindsight being 20/20, but it in some ways really feels like they were borderline asking to get sued.

I spent way longer than I ever hoped to primarily selling printers. This is the answer. I'd wager a solid 80% of people would be better off buying a cheap brother laser and just going to walgreens/office depot/where ever the 2 times a year they need to print in color

Just because I know most won't actually click on the article

In a quirky response, the company’s customer support team reduced the bill to $5,225. And when the story started trending online, the CEO decided that the user wouldn’t be charged at all.
