It’s been mentioned that the passengers were flying on employee passes and thus had different standards that applied to their dress code.

It does have the benefit of being phrased in such a way as to cast blame on the modding community and make it easier to get things like aftermarket exhausts and hood vents banned. “Look it killed these two teens! We need to ban it!” is a popular cry from legislators towards the modding community.

So Transporting the Furious™ isn’t crossover’y enough for you?

I would imagine that the parts of this most susceptible to failure would be the output gear, the reverse gearset, and then the driveline... drive shaft, rear pinion gear, maybe the ring gear.

“if you agree to let someone tie you up and then they do all kinds of things you don’t consent to, what can you do about it? who can you tell? who will believe you?”

There are predators and abusers along the entire spectrum of relationship dynamics. It has nothing to do with BDSM. In fact, in tight-knit, healthy communities where most of the players know each other and respect each other, abusers are quickly found and shunned. Malicious parties tend to prey on those without…

Keep your judgement to yourself. Clearly BDSM isn’t for you, but that doesn’t make it wrong for others.

You don’t get to define love, joy, sex, respect, pleasure or pain for other people.

You also don’t understand the nuance and interplay involved in BDSM play. Pain sparks endorphins which feel good. Sometimes it’s…

They’re wearing racing suits. That’s adorable. In case, what, their arcade cabinet catches fire?

Part of that was tongue-in-cheek. Most of that was tongue-in-cheek. They knew it was animation and thus wouldn’t really have any bloopers, so they thought “Hey let’s make a gag reel for the credits anyway!” because it would be fun and silly. So they did, because they could.

Really? Show me someone who makes a TV show or an album or a video game who doesn’t want to maximize the number of people who have access to it.

Your analogies are weak.

They didn’t make the show for themselves to enjoy, they made it for as wide an audience as possible to enjoy. If they’re not interested in selling it on a platform we want to buy it from, we’ll get it somewhere else.

For some people lego is about modeling and the build process itself, rather than playing with the thing afterwards. Admittedly for kids, the “play with it after” factor is one of the best parts.

But, take for instance the big-ass technic sets. I have a few of them. There’s no way they’d stand up to the rigors of kid…

I’m in the middle of doing a keto diet right now. I’m 2 months in and feeling pretty good. I’m down almost 40lbs. The first couple of days/weeks are hard. And, like anything involving your body, it’s not linear or predictable or consistent. You lose a few lbs, then plateau, then go up a little, then lose a bunch. You…

You know how Jeep got its reputation and brand cachet? From having a vehicle that won a war. From having a vehicle that could go anywhere on earth in a straight line. That dependable, rugged, “what’s-a-road?” sense of freedom is what made Jeep what it is.

That’s only on the 13" with 4 ports. The 15" has full functionality to all 4 ports, and the 13" with 2 ports has full functionality to both of them.

My first car was an ‘84 5-spd Caravan. That Voyager sure brought back some memories. If it were any -- and I mean ANY -- closer, I’d probably snap it up for old time’s sake.

I’ve been saying for years that the brightness of brake lights or how many come on ought to be dependent on how hard you’re pushing the pedal. That’s especially true now that LEDs have gotten so much cheaper and those “nighttime signatures” have gotten so much more elaborate.

Counter-counterpoint: These are children. They likely did not pay hundreds of dollars for their phones. And, they also likely have protection plans which they will whine and beg and plead (or get their parents to bully) until the company acquiesces to give them a new one. Then suddenly those insurance companies decide…

Since Trump has never held public office, it’s kind of hard to put them both on a level playing field. But, given all the absolutely horrible crap he’s said he would do if he ever got into office, and given his horrible track record as a businessman which is his only real bona fide credential, Yeah, I’d disqualify him…
