      @Adendum82 2 роки тому +17

      I've often speculated on that very idea. It's brought up at the most random, yet convenient moments. I think Raid Shadow Legends has the appropriate understanding of the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" advertising model. People have probably signed up for that game just to confirm or disprove the elite-level shittiness of that game, just because Simon has emphasized how awful it is. No one can believe how bad it really is...until they, and their credit card numbers, are already in too deep.

    Fun Fact about nutritional info: all numbers are rounded down to the closest gram and the serving size is carefully calculated to optimize that effect. This means something can have .9 grams of sugar per serving but still be able to claim they have 0 grams of sugar. This is how TicTacs are "sugar free".

      That depends on where you live. It's true in most countries but a number have a stick up their butts about misinformation.
      Like the U.K. the round down rule applies for some reason for advertising and packaging promotion, so something with 0.9 grams of sugar per serving can legally be advertised as "sugar free".
      However the effectiveness of this is diminished by the fact you have to on the packaging, place all the nutritional information down to 1 decimal place for a at a glance nutrient information label.
      So hilariously, "sugar free" Tic Tacs have to put that each serving have 0.9 grams of sugar per 1 gram serving on the boxes they sell you.
      It applies to other stuff. A few years ago omega-3 was the fad wonder food. It's a fatty acid found in fish and is good for all kinds of stuff I probably won't care about untill my unhealthy lifestyle catches up with me.
      But it's also found in trace amounts in flour, and when I say trace think 0.001 of a gram of omega-3 per gram of uncooked plain white flour. Biscuits (cookies) generally use white flour as the primary ingredient, go figure, and the biscuit makers tried to advertise the biscuits as a source of omega-3, small problem, you would have to eat about 25 kg (55 pounds) of chocolate chip cookies to get 1/10 of the omega-3 found in a small portion of grilled fish. The food standards agency lost their minds and banned such health claims because it would physically kill you to eat enough biscuits to get one good dose of omega-3. Introducing a minimum amount of a nutrient to be allowed for advertising purposes.

My brakes wouldn´t catch, until they did as I pumped them and the same happened to the guy behind me. He had held distance, and it didn´t make a damn difference. we were at an intersection, no cars coming from the crossing direction, no pedestrians, and I saw he wasn´t stopping and took my foot off the brake. we stopped about fifty feet past the intersection. Poor guy was in shock when I went to check on him but no one ws hurt. No real damage to the cars. If it had been a Pinto... Rear ending happens all the time. It doesn´have to be someone´s fault.

    I've had airbags deploy on me twice before and let me tell you, they are always shown like this big soft and fluffy pillow coming in to save the day but really, it's a Kevlar bag with a grenade behind it. It's better than smashing your skull open on the windshield or steering wheel when you hit a concrete barrier going 75MPH, but only just.
    To top it off, Airbags are one of the single most expensive individual parts of the vehicle to replace, often costing a few thousand dollars to replace at the very least. If your airbags deploy in an incident, the likelihood of your vehicle being totaled instantly skyrockets.

    • @amberkat8147
      @amberkat8147 2 роки тому

      And sometimes they fix the rest of the car but don't bother with the airbag, then resell the car and don't disclose that to the buyer. A lot of teenagers' first cares or poor adults' second-hand cars don't have functioning airbags and almost no one ever mentions that possibility. There was an accident where a teenager was killed and the airbag compartment was full of bits of paper, the parents were heartbroken. Guess it's a good thing when they declare the car totaled, at least it makes reselling it w/o airbags less likely.

    Something should be added to the "Pinto Madness" story: Lee Iacocca (the CEO of Ford at the time of the Pinto) repeatedly told his lieutenants that "Safety doesn't sell."
    He was known to *fire* executives that proposed improving the safety of their cars beyond what was bare-bones minimum to get the things to roll off the line without actively exploding from sheer cheapness.
    The lack of a safety culture at Ford was what killed those Pinto owners. Simon/Danny have a point about companies, though: they ARE obligated to make as much money for their stockholders as they possibly can within the law. It's not the companies' fault; they're sociopathic artificial constructs without morality, created to generate profit and nothing else. It's the GOVERNMENT'S job to hold their feet to the fire and keep them from killing people to make money. Unregulated capitalism taken to its logical extreme is fascism.

      Totally makes sense. My dad worked in quality control at a factory that made piston heads. He told me that Volkswagen lawnmowers had tougher quality specs to meet than Ford. Remember, piston heads go up and down the cylinders, the metal expands and contracts with the temp. That is what he checked. He worked there from the late 80s to around 2009.

On a cruiseship engine you can use pistons with an inch or more of clearance from the cylinder walls, where a weed whacked wouldn't have a piston if you allowed a inch of cylinder clearance. Your point stands that a volkswagen(I didn't know they made lawnmower) lawnmower is held to higher quality and tighter specs than a Ford Vehicle but I think you didn't quite understand the reasoning behind it. ( To be clear, I don't know the actual clearance of a cruiseship piston but I guarentee its 1000s of times larger than a weed whackers piston clearance and thus the ship engine is significantly easier to manufacture, assuming you have the tool to do that

    I worked at an office that was allegedly very shady. It allegedly had mob ties. Smoking had been banned from most public spaces even bars. The sales force though was comprised of mostly heavy smokers. It was allegedly a soul crushing telemarketing company that scammed people to pay hundreds of dollars for magazine subscriptions that cost a tenth the price. One salesperson would start smoking and within minutes the person next to them would light up and so on and so forth. By the time the last person would finish their cigarette the first person would start smoking another cigarette. The walls were painted an off-white color. I never realized this until one of the managers decided to wash the walls on a slow day. It was then we realized the walls were not supposed to be terracotta.

    Ford had to pay my cousin out after a bad accident in a Ford Explorer. The crossbar wasn't built with the correct metal strength, and the ONE THING that's supposed to help save you in a roll-over, crumpled and squished their so badly that the jaws of life were needed, as well as an induced coma.
    We thought they were going to die... It was horrible. They cannot walk ever again, but they made a sweet, sweet penny from the lawsuit against Ford. I don't think I have EVER prayed for anything harder than my cousin living. It was like a 24/7 thing. I constantly asked God not to take my cousin.
    Happily, they just celebrated their birthday, and they are married with a wonderful little one. They bought a lot, and had a custom-built house fit for their wheelchair. My cousin is such an amazing person, and I am so glad they're still here.
    Seriously, I love that family member -- and you are right -- Ford is a POS, known for their flawed designs and failure to recall vehicles. They'd rather pay the fines and let people die or lose the loss of their lower bodies than to recall all the vehicles they make poorly. They have more money than God, so they'll just pay you off.
    My cousin didn't even have to go to court. They were just like "Yeah....We knew about that.... How much do you want?" and settled for a huge amount. They REALLY, REALLY, REALLY didn't want to go to court or make it a public charade. My cousin doesn't have to work, but they do because they have a passion in life for their field of profession. I'm telling you - they are amazing. AMAZING.
    Also, if it seems like I've given little detail - you're right!!! I'm trying to be as vague and whatnot as possible, because my cousin did sign an NDA - and I don't want them to get in trouble.

So the jury will say, "These facts are true, therefore X." Meanwhile, the judge can say, "That's great, but unfortunately the law says Y." That's why you can have the jury award a huge-ass award but the judge cuts it down to be in line with laws and precedent.
