- Well, if 1200 people think it in a survey, and someone reports it to Fox Business, it must apply to everyone! -- nm - David Mar 22, 08:05
- 48% would go back to the prior job. That is shocking. I'm not being snarky -- nm - St. Epiphany Mar 22, 07:44 3
  - Looking into it, that’s actually a mischaracterization of the survey responses. 48% would try to get their old job back *if* they felt “Shift Shock” at a new company. -- nm* - znufrii Mar 22, 08:15 2
    - ahhhh - that makes sense. Seems the Guardian is desperate to please their corporate overlords with spin - St. Epiphany Mar 22, 08:31 1

- MGK can go away now, please. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 22, 07:25 20
  - How is he doing arena tours? How is he that popular? -- nm - sycor Mar 22, 08:05
  - It just makes me laugh he basically got owned so badly by Eminem he changed genres and it kinda worked for me. - Tim Mar 22, 07:55 4
    - This. I remember when he was rap, so I was confused when I learned he was rock/alt now. -- nm - MDH Mar 22, 08:46
    - eh - I disagree. Hotel Diablo came out after the Eminem issue. I don't think he got " owned". Half of the pandemic songs were rap - ish. - St. Epiphany Mar 22, 07:59 2
      - Heh. I’m a sucker for the pop punk sound and I guess Travis Barker wanted to make songs that sounded like Blink 182 again. -- nm - Tim Mar 22, 08:01 1
        
        I'm going to listen to anything Travis plays on. -- nm - St. Epiphany Mar 22, 08:04
  - The whole genre of him, 21 Pilots, etc. is awful. -- nm - MDH Mar 22, 07:34 7
    - Oh yeah, well your whole genre is awful! -- nm - Qale Mar 22, 09:22
    - They're... tolerable. -- nm - Reagen Mar 22, 07:52

        Okay, at least we are on the same side (sort of). - Spawn Mar 22, 08:47
  - I always feel like I'm being spit on through the radio. -- nm - Reagen Mar 22, 07:33
  - yup -- nm - budice Mar 22, 07:32
  - The fact that he is playing at American Airlines Center is quite something. -- nm - St. Epiphany Mar 22, 07:31 2
    - Noting the fact that there's no Chicago date means he's also likely playing Lollapalooza. Could he be headlining? That would be . . . disappointing. -- nm - pmb Mar 22, 07:51 1
      - He is like the Nickelback of this decade. He's wildly popular but who is his audience? I like his rap/rock songs - St. Epiphany Mar 22, 07:58

  - I didn't know Garret's had made it to DFW, that's good to know. Salt Lick is in Terminal A though I don't how their breakfast is. - ty97 Mar 22, 07:15 2
    - Yeah, I think there's a couple. I've found it (pre-packaged) as far as HKG. - spamlet Mar 22, 08:01 1

LYC: My EV saga continues. I think I have written off the Polestar as an option now. Looking into it deeper, there are no service centers in Illinois - oblique Mar 22, 06:16 25
- Buy this one! -- (link) - decline Mar 22, 07:18 1
  - Did they take a porsche and put the maserati logo on it? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 22, 07:27
- the EV6 is reportedly huge markups most places. I have seen reports of $15-$20k over MSRP, so investiagte that before you fall in love. - amanda jeans Mar 22, 06:52 3
  - The Kia logo is awful. Truly awful. Dealer markups are such a scam. It's hurting themselves - TWuG Mar 22, 07:08 2
    - That's so funny regarding the logo. I first saw it at an auto show in 2021. Didn't understand it immediately so thought it was dumb. - zunk xometimes Mar 22, 07:31 1
      - I wanted to change my logo when I had my Kia in the shop - I love the new one so much more. -- nm - St. Epiphany Mar 22, 08:01
- not that it helps, but the new volvo c40 recharge seems to be popular with the reviewers at the moment. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 22, 06:39

    - Build quality isn't an issue. Hasn't been for ages. -- nm - TWuG Mar 22, 08:06
  - Kona =squishy. I'd go for a Leaf Plus over a Kona. -- nm - Reagen Mar 22, 06:41 9
    - My business partner has a Leaf - he really likes it -- nm - decline Mar 22, 06:47 4
      - But then you would be driving a *Nissan*. - Spawn Mar 22, 07:40
      - there are a *lot* of leafs here. I'm not sure why. I think it's probs the #2 EV in town after the musks. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 22, 06:53 2
        
        Probably has to do with how long the Leaf has been available. Its low range keeps the price low, too, so they are affordable. - TWuG Mar 22, 06:57 1
        
        ohhhhhhh a very good point. I see them all over holmes foster so probably it's the three minute commute to central campus or ten mins to - amanda jeans Mar 22, 07:00
    - The Kona is one of the few EVs I haven't seen in person yet. - TWuG Mar 22, 06:47 3

        Most car makers have at least one on offer. Quality is mostly good. Range varies widely. Prices are still higher than the ICE equivalent - TWuG Mar 22, 06:54
