The Israelis are very good at adapting equipment to all sorts of things never intended by their designers - The B and D models, if memory serves, were always designed to be fully combat-capable for air superiority, but the main reason for the back seat was the training mission, not as a weapons operator station. But…

That whole “No reserve, nobody outbid you, but you still didn’t win” business sounds really shady. Isn’t that a violation of contract law or something?

Try shifting back and forth between reverse and regular psychology to rock yourself out of where you are stuck.

Another solution in search of a problem. Instead of adding an expensive gadget to the truck, Ford could have simply written the following in the owner’s manual:

Well, technically you could do those same two things at once in a normal shower, as long as you’re OK with stomping it down the drain when you are done...

ProTip:

Think “there is a toilet in the same 2.5 by 2.5 foot space as the shower head.” Like a shower stall with a door that happens to also have a toilet in it.

What interests me most is the dihedral wings on that car... This is the information that the Googles found for me:

It sucks when your article’s color text turns out to prove you don’t know what the hell you are talking about...

Why would you crank the engine when you knew it was overfilled? Wouldn’t you just, you know, pull the drain plug? This makes no sense.

That’s turn 7, after the long back straight that runs along the river. They were concerned enough about it that they put cones on the right side of the track to direct cars onto the correct line, and cones as brake markers on both sides of the track.

My mongoose is continuously variable.

Oh Lord, yes! How is it that anyone is brave enough to go into that business?

I don’t know why any company would want to be in the business of making safety devices like air bags or seatbelts. I’m not saying Takata isn’t negligent, but even if you do everything right, the liability tail is so enormous and unending that you can’t possibly charge enough for your product to make it worth the risk.…

Gibson has a long, sorted history in production design and art direction

It’s almost cartoonish, the way the management is trying to extract every last dollar from this facility, to the point of doing stuff like this because who cares if anyone complains? It’s not like they’re coming back...
