> you weren't in a short car, you were in a normal car

What's normal can change. Today, 37% of used registrations in the US are sedans and about 18% of new registrations.

Have a truck with a light bar. But it's for offroad use only. I'd never drive with it on regular roads with traffic around me.

> It's a deceptive way to sell people less game.

That's a dumb take. The buying phase is an integral part of the game mode. And the game is free.

Would be interested in hearing more about (and maybe joining) the manager peer group if that's a possibility.

Is there a way to dig up old GeoCities pages? My only thought is to remember the URL and get it from internet archive but I can't remember my 4 digit number. I think I was in the "Baja" area.

Smart glasses will have the potential to cover more use cases than a smart phone ever did due to the potential of AR-enabled viewing display.

Lol record high stock price, fiercest competitor banned, and cutting 5% of under performers. They're thriving from a business vitality perspective.

Most large tech companies require the manager to write some sort of a promo packet to be reviewed by a relevant committee. But it's not a mystery and ultimately it falls on the manager to put together a strong packet that makes it clear why the candidate should be promoted. The promotion attempt itself is the manager's vote. Beyond that it comes down to how strongly they champion for the candidate's promotion. It's the only way to ensure some consistency between promotions, IMO.

Let me rephrase: Cyclists are maniacs at a much higher % than drivers. I say this with no data.

How is this surprising at all?

Do they buy-and-resell or do they just provide a front for the ticket-buying flow with their own fees added on top?

Let me generalize on your behalf: Cyclists are maniacs. They want to be given the equal respect of cars in traffic but absolutely don't follow the same rules.

Many people clearly love them and have found great utility using them. Not sure what point you're trying to make - that you're different?

You said 1 or 2 people who aren't executives. There's way more than 1-2 E7s at Meta, as an example.
