Ground guide or at least a crew commander at the top of the tank/armoured fighting vehicle. I can see lots of people accepting a lookout on top of their Personal Support Truck before they'd consider downsizing or gulp not driving. I guess that would also increase vehicle occupancy above the abysmal 1.4 people/vehicle it's currently at!

How much of those parking lots do you think is dedicated to tailgating? (Hint: It's a minor fraction of the overall surface lots).

Tailgating originates out of the lack of nearby bars, restaurants, public spaces around stadiums. That's why there's a trend of newly-built/in-planning stadiums in urban areas with entertainment districts attached. They've realized there's money to be made, and creating walkable spaces just puuumps out the cash.

First off, not an officer, a high ranking enlisted(E-8) personal was the culprit.

Typically, anything E-4 or higher is considered a Non-Commisioned Officer.

EDIT further clarification: from my experience in the Canadian Army, what "Officers" means depends on context. Most often (and what !Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de probably meant) it means just Commissioned Officers. Other times, it's anyone in leadership, including NCOs.

I think you have the cause and effect backwards.

It doesn't say "own a car", it says "own car". As in, "How do you get to work?" "By my own car."

The Verge's recommendation of Brother Printers

Yes, they literally wrote that article as a meme. It's been a joke on the VergeCast for years that their printer recommendation is, "Get the cheapest Brother printer that meets your needs (duplex, scanner, colour, etc). You'll almost certainly be happy with it." In your case, even if you don't want it, you'll probably get a scanner, but it doesn't add that much to the price.

And it's not like it contains any sensitive information. I'm sure all your emails are just friendly correspondence with your pen pal.

Because why not 🙂

Because security.

You realize an ATM doesn't have a teller...

Great comparison, a dialect used by millions of people to a dead language. It really shows how much you care about the people who speak that dialect...

Having a Québécois convenience store company try to take over a Japenese convenience store company, who recently took over an American convenience store company just feels like the crazy future capitalism presented us but never fulfilled. Instead, we're usually just dealing with late-stage capitalism.
