There's a happy medium. I have a slightly newer VW GTI (2017) with a touchscreen but there are still buttons and dials for basically everything. It's a perfect infotainment system if you ask me :)

To be fair it's pretty hard to be miserable on a cool bike.

He did it before and he'll do it again. The last round of tariffs was backbreaking and this one will be worse.

I work for a small business and we're still doing okay but all those tariffs get passed directly to consumers. If it costs 7.5% more to import something, it will get sold for 7.5% more.

And that is the low end of tariffs.

So I just watched it for the first time earlier this year and honestly it wasn't bad. It's cheesy (and by most measures not a great film), but it was genuinely fun to watch.

This is sort of beside the point you're making, but a lot of 1st/2nd generation Latinos still look down on immigrants. "We did it the hard way, so they should have to as well" similar to bootstrap mentality.

It's some real mental gymnastics, but I've had several latina girlfriends over the years and some of their families were poor or super well off, but they openly hated Mexicans and/or Puerto Ricans.

That number isn't really that surprising.

From 2005 peace corps, it also shows up on a business insider list with some more info.

What a dire situation.

Probably just a summary on the lock screen?

If you're pounding one out that won't really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn't want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

Ya, family holidays are stressful. If you smoke weed and know a relative smokes weed, it's tradition to "go for a walk" or have a "safety meeting" or "take out the trash" to break away from the main group and get some fresh air.

In my family it's my brother and his wife. Usually right after dinner.

The obvious one is an enclosure or latches door to prevent accidental falls. They might be wearing fall protection that we can't see but I doubt it.

There's a good chance nobody ever fell from one of these but those regulations exist for a reason.

Maybe less obvious is fail-safes for any elevator system so if the brakes fail it doesn't freefall into the ground.
