I think you forgot the /s tag (especially since it is an editorialization by the BBC, not the HN submitor). But yeah, the author probably has a motive for doing that.
People seriously underestimate how much trouble a pickup truck rental from U-Haul can be.
I’ve wasted so much time trying to track down which location near me has one available on the exact day I want to do major yard work. Often I have to reschedule my work or plan out super far in advance. Or take a day off during the week because everyone else also wants to rent trucks on the weekend. Then I’m running against the clock the whole time.
An extra $100-$200 a month car payment to have a truck instead of a crossover is totally worth it.
> He said it revealed that 26% of Black respondents said it’s “not OK to be White” and 21% said “they weren’t sure.” With a degree of amazement, Adams said: “That’s 47% of Blacks not willing to say it’s OK to be White. That’s like a real poll. This just happened.”
> Adams said that the poll demonstrated that there is “no fixing” current racial tensions in America, which is why White people should live in largely segregated neighborhoods.

> “But it turns out that nearly half of that team doesn’t think I’m okay to be White,” Adams said.
> Given the poll results, Adams said he’s now “going to re-identify as White,” arguing that he doesn’t “want to be a member of a hate group,” which he claimed he had “accidentally joined” with his supposed Black identification.
The alternative is delivering no items. Spamming all your friends with $0.83 items is a waste of resources, period. When Temu did this on an industrial scale the USPS was not happy about it and it shouldn’t be any different when you’re abusing the postal system as a gag.
I bought a unique product that didn't have any branding in the pictures, but when I got it, it had their brand on it. The seller said that is due to Amazon's branding policy. Stupid policy.
A long time ago, when I went to I think the Event Manager or something, it showed a Bluetooth event when my laptop woke up while it was in my backpack. I don't know if the Bluetooth software caused it, or after it woke up it did a Bluetooth thing.
I imagine Event Manager or whatever still exists for those that want to investigate after it happens.
