Why is (this general concept of marketing sticker) not like the easily-removable decals that surrouund your TV and monitor when they come out of the box? The TV decal gets removed as soon as I’ve got it on the wall, but that “Intel inside” sticker hangs around for years because it’s kind of a pain to remove cleanly.

Necessary edit “Drywall is very heavy and is hung on ceilings by A WHOLE LOT OF COARSELY-THREADED, BROAD-HEADED SCREWS DIRECTLY INTO STUDS”.

On dealing with front-flange anchors once they’re no longer needed: I take a drill to the front. A few seconds usually gets through the relatively thin section of material joining the flange to the body shaft. The remaining donut of flange falls off and the body of the anchor can be pushed back into the wall cavity.

Streaming has this issue as well. My Google Home speakers default to Youtube Music and I swear that the depth for any one music prompt (“play classical music”, for instance) isn’t more than 20 songs deep.  

Or you don’t. I did a new-construction house this year and optioned in a gas stove. An outside exhaust vent was NOT part of that feature package. In fact, I had to ARGUE with them in order to get them to vent the range hood to the outdoors (and charge me extra for it).

My dad (who was a property manager, landlord and multiple-car-owner) had this massive ring of keys that he took everywhere. It was intense.

I’m curious when they’re going to announce pricing for the Prius Prime.  

Basically the same process for tequila, isn’t it?

Ranges - even wide ranges - should be expected. Not every person with a given job title will perform equally well.

If I’m hiring an “Engineer II”, for instance, knowing that there’s an “Engineer I” and “Engineer III” that flank it, each with their own defined performance/experience criteria, I have to post a salary…

Exactly. The bar stays in place to provide crash-stability for the seats (I think it’s the same parts as from the SL sedan). My Outback doesn’t need that, but it’s a LOT bigger and a LOT more structure in the body (and seats) back there.

That’s mostly it. SL and SW shared basically everything but the body panels back of the B pillar.  Still, you could get a LOT of stuff in that car even with the suspension intrusion (which looks bigger than it really is because that is a SMALL car).

I owned two Saturns - a 2000 SW2 (manual) and a 2004 Ion (manual).  The wagon got totalled, the Ion got sold when family needs moved us to a minivan.  They were wonderful, plastic-bodied transportation.  

Except for sports.

2015 Odyssey : cannot lock the doors using the fob or touch-button until both of the very very slow sliding doors have completely closed. I really want to get the kids out, start the doors closing hit the lock button and walk off, trusting the locks to engage as soon as the last door shuts.

I’d prefer a never-fails, optically superior mirror over a camera, display, wiring, extra-light-in-the-cockpit-at-night solution.

Are those camera-based side-view “mirrors”?  If so, then: Yay for the extra 0.02 that got them on the drag calculation, but boo because that is not a place I want screens and electronics at this time.

I have a hard time recommending grills not made by Weber, in part because Weber grills just seem to LAST when compared to the other stuff at the store, but also because of the aftermarket! Weber is such an industry standard that EVERYBODY has fun accessories that drop right in.

I am a “just big enough” person - I like my cars compact, my computers portable and my furniture from Ikea.
