I would guess more than 90% of cars on the road don’t have their mirrors adjusted correctly. Drove me nuts as a motorcycle rider to be behind a car and able to clear see someone’s face in their side mirrors. That means there is a blind spot the size of a semi truck next to them... and nobody turns their head to check…

Exactly. They are SIDE view mirrors, not rear.

Proper mirror adjustment is CRITICAL, sadly too many people have them set to see the side of their car, not what is beside their car.

Yeah, if I’m behind a person and I can see their face in the side mirror they are not adjusted correctly. The only exceptions are work vehicles and the like that either have an obscured or non-existent rear-view mirror. 

It’s one of my pet peeves when I can fully see a driver’s face in their side view mirror when I am stopped directly behind them. They’ve given no thought to the uselessness of adjusting the side view mirrors to have the same view as the rear view mirror.

Yes that was a missed opportunity. Getting the mirrors right are vitally important to driving. From the first image, all the mirror real estate outlined in red is wasted space.

Adjust your mirrors: Misses how the side mirrors should be adjusted.

Sounds like the beef hasn’t changed since I was in high school in the early 80's, which is why that’s the last time I had a DQ burger.

We used the Rust-Oleum kit in our kitchen. It turned out really well. We used the light toned kit and it actually covered the corner seam in the laminate. We did as BassPaul suggested and lifted the sink to paint under the edge as well. Another tip: be sure you let the coatings dry before using the finished countertop,…

Arkansas or Alaska?  Arkansas is AR.

It’s a car I wanted since I was 10 and saw it at the local auto show. I found it 3 years ago in the garage of an elderly couple. They used it at their Florida house when they went down for the winters. 48,000 miles when I got it and 53,000 now. It was a little sad and dirty when I got it, but I am always working on…

Same reason candy bars are smaller than when you were a kid.

I’m willing to take on those costs - I don’t mind the extra work of scanning my groceries if it means I don’t have to interact with the cashier and wait in the line of people with tons of items in their cart (plus I get to organize my bags how I want more easily). That the store benefits too doesn’t bother me.

This is the problem that my very handy friends ran into when redoing their own kitchen. Their house was almost 100 years old, and none of the walls were straight anymore. It made hanging the Ikea cabinets a nightmare--but then again it would have been a nightmare no matter what kind of cabinet they were using. The…

Cilantro will absolutely spread and take over a plot, much like mint.

Extreme right wing conservative.

Honestly? If I’m eating a burger at all, I’m usually not getting fries these days. And if I am, it’s a small, which I don’t even finish. But for sake of argument, I’m a fries first girl, as most people realize the life of good fries are much much shorter than any burger.

You’re right about Nena; “99 Luftballons” went to #2 in the USA. I heard both versions a lot, too, although the German version was the one that charted. I think it was the last top ten not to be in English until “La Bamba” (another banger from the 80s, albeit a cover of a 50s song).

Edit: I just googled, and I’m wrong; …

Chevette - My mother had one in the first year of production, which I think was '79. It literally could not go up a hill without stopping 2/3rds of the way up, taking into neutral, revving the engine then dropping it into gear to complete the climb. Sometimes we had to do that twice.
