He is absolutely correct in all of this.

Speaking as a guy, here is my cake horror story:

That might be a thought on the part, I have done that in other situations.

Funny how Japan could put together a car during the exact same era, using the same manual labor, with significantly better quality.

Here’s the thing, go back as recently as the 70’s and 80’s and there was a word that was used for kids with sever autism. Retarded.

Do we have to listen to both sides of the “world is round” and the “world is flat” communities?

My point exactly, just holding up any object for an entire concert would be distracting, let alone needing to pay such close attention to it to make sure you were keeping things in frame, etc.

You’re right, because skimping and cutting corners to reduce costs should bring excellent results. And if it doesn’t then doing the opposite clearly won’t help.

What cars are you driving? I expect components like starter motors, alternators, water pumps, etc. to have to be replaced eventually. I have replaced tie rods before, and calipers, but never before 150k miles.

I listen to all sorts of music, but have gotten into jazz lately. I heard an interview with a performer who talked about how much he enjoyed a special benefit show out in a national park.

During the gas crisis in the 70’s my parent bought a Toyota and were absolutely shocked that it went to 36k without a single repair. They had never experienced anything like it before.

I expect some repairs as well. I usually run my cars up to about 150k. I have owned Subaru’s Toyotas, and Suzukis have have not had this many issues on any car that I took to 150k.

Where I have noticed it is in rural areas that were once GM/Ford/Chevy only areas. I guess people realized how much more reliable these are then what they have been use to, plus they handle really well in the snow and are very practical.

if someone claims down the line they can’t get a job because of a tattoo you did

Yes, these are people who invest a large part of their identity into the groups they belong to.

There is really only one solution, police leadership has to start holding cops accountable.

Let’s assume everything you say is true, all that justifies is that the cops showed up, not how they behaved once there.

Are NFL players aware of things like cabs and limos? It’s certainly a career where even if you are making league minimum, you can still afford to have other people drive you around.

Who makes a decision that ticket holders are not allowed into the concert because there was a small fight inside?

Because you have been doing this since before email and if no one has cared about this for 30 years, why would they start caring now?
