Who would want this? Why would a factory want to introduce a fuckton of complexity into their production line? Why would a tesla owner want to spend a bunch of money to have a refreshed version of their old car? Why would a jalop want to constrain the supply of junkyard tesla parts?

Jalopnik pre-Nov 2019: blobby crossovers are rote design and dumb for many practical reasons, just get a sedan or hatch ffs. Also the Eclipse Cross is the worst naming convention ever, let’s hope it doesn’t start a trend.

Luckily most Star Wars fans are easy going chaps, and don’t mind a touch up here or there to established canon.

I do have a law degree, as do the judges who wrote this decision. I worked a law clerk for nearly 3 years.

Yes, and he’s right. The statute is design to punish worse dealers who go “Oh, we changed your oil and replaced your fuel filter,” but didn’t DO that. It is not designed to punish ordinary negligence in “oh, we changed your oil, but did it poorly.” One represents a fraud on the customer, the other is just negligent.

And in this case the court was right. There was nothing unfair or deceptive about forgetting to tighten the lug nuts, what was just negligence. In this case the mechanic *did* actually rotate the tires, he just did a shitty job at it.

As penetrable as the wall probably is, someone who’s planning a climbing trip and says they’ve done a lot of climbing probably exceeds most reasonable people’s definition of novice.

Leave it to Jalopnik to cry out for buttons when their isnt any, and explode when theres too many... w/e

Houses are pretty overbuilt in that way. This one still had about three and three-quarters of its walls and the header that spreads the load across all those remaining studs in that wall was probably intact. (In another important aspect, the damage was not only small compared to the size of the house, but really…

Let’s not forget that balloon framing makes every wall cavity in an old house a chimney. Old houses burn much more quickly than new ones. The 110-year-old house I live in could have stood at least one more load-bearing wall. Headers around the stairways and the windows would have been a good idea too. It’s no wonder…

Most cheap home builders in the 90’s and early 2000’s were only using OSB at the corners for lateral bracing and used that cheap foam fiberboard sheathing product everywhere else. Combined with vinyl siding, you have an exterior wall you could put your fist through. Not to mention the other corners that were often…

When you think about it, he went through maybe four 2x4's — maybe 2x6s or 2x8's because of the height, but still, sticks — and some wood siding and sheathing, and on the inside, drywall. That’s pretty stout with respect to its intended loads, but not meant to stop a speeding truck, so no surprise that it won’t.

Yup. My house is one of those older houses and lathe and plaster was on every wall. But do you know what wasn't behind that lathe? Insulation, decent wiring, beams spaced on center, ECT. Old houses can be good but you had better learn carpentry and quick or be rich. I'm not rich. 

What do you want out of a house? The shells that the battleship Pennsylvania weighed 1500 pounds. That truck weighs two tons.

Vinyl siding, I believe is the term you’re looking for. With oriented strand board and house wrap behind it.

The original was about climate change too, the skeksis were doing the same exact thing they were doing in this one, sucking the crystal and land dry for their own benefit. If anything you see the effects of that more in the original.

Yeah, because hundreds of scooter flying around at hurricane force wind speeds is almost as dangerous as when they are being ridden by people.

Google: “Haha! Suck it bitches! We found a BUNCH of vulnerabilities and exploits on the iPhone, lots of you are probably compromised, but we ain’t telling... LOSERS! Who’s phone is secure now? Butt munchers!”

Maybe if you were fancier you’d understand how useful this can be. Remote control of some functions is good. Being able to access the car just by having the phone on you is good. Not having to carry around a bulky fob is good.
