At least it wasn’t also behind one of those asinine display doors that has a screen on it telling you what might be inside.

“There’s kind of a lot of people leaving X lately. How do you intend to reinvigorate the user base?”

‘this calls for a price increase’

If that means the Trump administration not having sway over WHO, it’s probably worth it.

I have to say that I am totally fine with the US no longer having influence over the WHO.

“I got mine.”

“Almost instantly.”

Where were you when the water wars began?

This is totally it. Car is already required to support OBDII, adding the ability to display diagnostic info to the screen costs more.

A recall implies the product is irreparably damaged, or too expensive to repair, and needs to be returned/replaced.

No, it does not. I can’t think of an automotive recall that wasn’t repaired and resulted in a buyback. I’m sure there was one or two, I just can’t think of them. Edit: Here’s the list. And most of those have to do with bad welds or badly adhering paint (which affects windshields in collisions).

Lots of cars from all manufacturers end up with recalls that get fixed as a matter of course.

Maybe that counts as the notification? I’ve never owned a car that does OTA shit. All the recalls that have applied to any of my cars have been mailed to me directly, sometimes even well before they are even able to be repaired, waiting on parts availability.

I think a “recall” has a very specific legal definition, where the manufacturer has strictly defined responsibilities (identifying and notifying owners of affected vehicles would be one of those). It wouldn’t surprise me if there was some external agency that acted as an auditor on that.

On the other hand, manufacturers can put out a “service action” bulletin, where a particular repair is free to the vehicle owner, but none of those recall responsibilities are in place. This means that, for example, vehicle owners are not notified, so you just need to bring your vehicle in with the complaint specified in the service action. In this case, the vehicle owner might need to point out that there’s a service action, because a shady dealer will pretend it doesn’t exist, charge you for the repair, and also submit the repair to the manufacturer for reimbursement. This was a lot easier to do before the internet, since the information about that service action wasn’t readily available to the public.

When they insist that you come into the office, but also don’t have a place for you to actually work when you’re there, you’d damned well better only do exactly what you’re told.

I’m surprised that the Finns haven’t invented a biathlon that combines rally racing and target shooting.

We’ll just have to try and find out.

Converting office space to residential is costly (if even possible for a given building), and would require a lot of effort. There may be zoning issues in the way as well.

Much easier to just use the CEO hat to keep desks full, and the landlord hat to collect rent.

Bold of you to assume he already doesn’t. But WFH across many industries drives down urban office space value overall.

When the CEO personally owns the building and leases the office space to the company, that’s not an option.

I am totally okay with that.

University of Chicago is a pretty prestigious school, too. Tuition-wise, it’s on par with Yale, Harvard, Stanford.

UIC is half of UofC. NIU and EIU are a quarter.

OP is asking why one of the most expensive universities in the country is expensive, and assuming that all universities in the US are that expensive.

It’s likely to differentiate between the general admission cars and the cars that do have assigned (and probably more comfortable) seats.
