Lots of people work on weekends.

My hand sanitizer only kills 99.99% of germs. Should it not be allowed to be called hand sanitizer because it cannot kill all of them?

I'd agree with this comparison if the ruling meant that they had to advertise their wings as "~99.9% boneless" the same way hand sanitizer labels itself as being ~99.9% effective.

I'm no expert on automobiles, but that truck would need to be 40+ years old to have no computers onboard. It doesn't look that old to me, though maybe he just kept it in good shape.

lol, I feel you there. I got a ruggedized, waterproof USB stick about 6 years ago to keep on my keychain and I've used it maybe three times ever. Though I've also been working from home for the last 4+ years so, y'know, less opportunities to use it in general.

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, though.

(They’re created with computer too.)

I've got bad news for him regarding how modern pickup trucks work.

6.06 "Dapper Drake" (iirc) was my first GNU/Linux distro back in the day. I was about 15 and spent a week tinkering with it trying to get the wifi to work on my old HP Pavilion.

Good times.

Yep! These guys are booked solid around the clock. I have to schedule well in advance any time I want to take my car to them, unless I want to camp out and be the first customer when they open at 5am. Worth it, though. They're good people.

Nah, I just live in a rural area. There's closer shops to me, but a very honest local business I've been going to for years is a bit further away and it's worth the extra distance for their service. They're a fantastic shop and they've always done great by me.

Women are undeniably a minority when it comes to being represented in politics/media in general. It's only in recent history that women have had any meaningful presence in terms of representation in those regards.

They're a minority in terms of representation because of said disenfranchisement.

Adding on to this: the repair shop I take my car to is too far from my house for me to walk or bike back, so I just walk the shops in town while they work on my car (unless they tell me ahead of time it might take more than one day to diagnose+repair, in which case I ask a friend to drive me back home after dropping off the car).

It's less that they "assume you can leave", but rather that it isn't really their problem. They need an uncertain amount of time to work on your car, depending on the issue being repaired, and you can leave if you want to during that window.

If there's nowhere for you to walk/bike to nearby, you just gotta sit and wait, which I've done on a handful of occasions. Just sitting in the lobby and reading some outdated magazines for an hour or two. It's boring, but what can you do?
