The point being that the tow truck drivers are essentially running a scam. They can only tow a car (in the UK) if the car is obstructing traffic(and the owner isn't there to move it). Since it's their word versus the owner's, and because the cops get paid whenever someone wants their car out of impound, the cops tend to believe the tow truck drivers.

After doing a bit of research, it sounds like the tow truck is doing something illegal, as they aren't allowed to tow a car if the driver is there to move it.

I will never complain about how hard it is to draw ever again.

Sad man doesn't understand the problem... There are plenty of ways to save ink and use less packaging, but it doesn't matter because the ink/printer companies would just put less in the cartridge. He'd be far better off telling people about toner sensor hacks and refills than creating a hard to read font that strokes his own ego.

I'm going by numbers I've heard outside of the clip. The professorship example, while anecdotal, supports a number between 90% and 97%.

He dismisses women's career choices factoring into their lower pay at 3:30, 5:38, and 6:52. I get it, he's trying to make a point in an entertaining way, so he glosses over a few points. It's just I find him more inciteful than insightful.

If I wanted the close the gender gap, I'd encourage more girls to get into engineering, and pay teachers more (try to make the US education system more like Finland).

That's wrong. Women doing similar jobs to men make 96 cents on the dollar
(still bad). But Oliver is arguing that men and women doing dissimilar jobs should make the same amount.

Here's the problem with that: It would force men doing similar jobs as women to make a lot less. For example, if you've ever worked in a game studio, you'll notice that 95% of all engineers are men, while for artists the split is 50-50(ish). Assuming engineers make twice the rate of artists, in order to achieve gender equality you'd have to mandate that female artists make nearly the same amount as engineers, while male artists would not. Once you include the extra cost of education for engineers, it makes the issue very cloudy.

So while I think that gender wage equality is an important goal, it is a terrible mandate.

Bigfoot?

Part of it has to do with the old guy's back tire. He's smokes it to warm the rubber and make it more sticky.

Batman?

Posting this video is not really so much making fun of a gambling problem, so much as it's making fun of the dismissive way the German team is referenced (Presuming you'd have to have some sort of moral defect to root for Germany).

seems like that should have blown up the earth as well.

Anyone else horrified by this?

And people say we get sick more often these days due to antibacterial soap.

This method was invented in 1906, the refrigerator was invented in 1913... So this is really about preserving cake without a refrigerator.

Even if the employees don't want to walk, why not try a golf cart or something?
