Obviously!

Lol a guy at a shop I worked at did this. He had already given his two weeks notice, but he got fired anyways. People were sooo pissed. Lol there weren’t enough toilets for everyone who got it to use at once. I thought it was hilarious and well deserved, they actually gave me a talking to for laughing out loud about it.

I’ll put the braniacs on it right after my coronation.

I’m not defending the practice of excessive idling, was just trying to give some perspective. Ty for calling it garbage tho, always nice to hear constructive feed back.

Local deliveries should be happening in electric vehicles. And 90% of long range trucks should have been a train. Go back in time a few decades and get the godless MBA having fucks out of the railroad industry.

Boom! Y’all should elect me king of everything, just solving problems left and right!

Ya it’s more wear and tear. It was more true with older engines than newer ones. Newer trucks have a more complex starting mechanism that’s easier on the engine.

Former trucker. If it’s hot or cold AF it sucks not having a or heat. If it’s a hot day, it’s way hotter on blacktop surrounded by hot engines.

It can be a pain to turn it on and off a bunch of times per day, I know it sounds minor, but when you’re trying to keep track of a bunch of things, making sure the right cargo comes off or on in the right order in the right way, hitting multiple docks or stops in quick succession. Trying to claim the space you need and trip plan (a lot of people don’t realize how difficult it can be to get a truck through a city, especially East Coast cities).

Then you get somewhere and hop out of your truck to check in, thinking it will take 30 seconds. Talk to whomever you may need to, clear obstacles and eyeball the space you need to get your trailer into. You’ll run into clueless, apathetic and just all around useless fucks at every corner. The sort of people that make glaciers seem on point. 30 seconds can turn into 30 minutes real quick.

It’s a tough gig, and having an army of mercenary profit driven people out there looking to make a buck off the guy delivering literally everything you need to survive that’s not air (and sometimes even that too) is kinda bullshit.

Edit: I’m not endorsing excessive idling, just trying to give some perspective on why a driver may fail to turn it off.

And also that a policy that pays anyone to report it is suspect at best. Where are we drawing the line on that? Jaywalking? What about immigration? Who’s to say I can’t start a company that surveils and informs for profit? It’s a slippery damn slope with nothing nice at the bottom. Enforcement should be done with paid public servants, full stop.

Presumably so the people can dismantle the surveillance capabilities of a government turned fascist.

I buy a bottle of whatever brand water, then use the bottle till it springs a leak. I get anywhere from a month to a yr plus. No water bottle should be single use. The amount of waste we take for granted is just fucking sinful.

Clippy!

Lol you can tell how old this picture is because no one has those asshole, melt your face led headlights.

Too late, ya been judged!

A portable speaker. What public space are you going to pollute with your noise?

Believe it biach, were all cousins, on our mamas side

I disagree about Taiwan. That’s a thing that goes back to the founding of modern China, it is, and has been a cornerstone of their policy. But otherwise ya, they seem to make rational economic choices.

Lol I forgot about jeeves, the Internet butler! Oh how he buttled!!

When they’re fresh, have been kept on ice, boiled in clean water, and served up with garlic butter they are.

When you send the scullery maid down to the shore to shovel up whatever washed up, throw it in a pot and boil the shit out of it… Well I imagine it’s marginally better than starving anyways.

This is the way. All beans, no bs sugar
