The average American simply cannot afford "higher quality" products created by "craftsmen". The crapiture sold at Walmart and Target is often as much as people can afford to buy new, and not everybody wants some else's old moldy spoiled stained torn broken down used furnishings in their house.

That guy in the video has a serious gait problem ... I’m not sure that saving 7% energy is going to do him much good if he can’t extend his legs better, he’s wasting lots of energy each step by simply trudging and not extending his legs. He needs to straighten them knees more on each step and land on his heel rolling…

Lol, “worked pretty well” ? They never got off the drawing board, as the design was physically impossible. You been readin some really REALLY old Soviet propaganda? That photo is a mock-up.

Yes, if in your country “meters” is equivalent to our American measurement called “inches”. Commercial airport runway concrete thickness is between 10 inches and 4 feet.

Neutral: How Much Would You Spend Fixing Caddy?

If those Bently Butthurtgineers claim that *their* car is 100% original, they’ve been smoking some really bad crack ... I’ve seen similar shapes on dozens of cars over the past couple/few decades; the Bentley design is NOT pure.

Okay .... I think I’m getting it ... the ceiling leak itself has nothing to do with the cat ... the presence of the cat is why he hasn’t called the building management to get the leak fixed. That’s kinda stupid. He shouldn’t just let his domicile deteriorate from lack of maintenance because he’s too lazy to park the…

No, it doesn't really tone down.

I like the cut of your jib, mister.

The "leaky bathroom ceiling" is pretty much your fault because you have a cat? How does having a cat, regardless of legallity, affect the state of the ceiling? How does that even work? Is this some kind of weird New York logic?

attorney is closer to barister, solicitor is more like lawyer

I'm actually okay with switching to metric here in the U.S. just as soon as they reset the naming standards to the original rational terminology — for example, temperatures in centigrade not celsius, and frequencies in cycles not hertz ... I'm pretty sure there are other abominations out there that need to be stamped…

"should of not" "had I of" "could of totally" ... I'm not so sure it's the computer being a jackass.

Your comparison of gallon to gallon is correct, what's gone wrong is your internal math ... you're thinking in "gallons per mile" instead of miles per gallon. If a US gallon is smaller, you get fewer miles per gallon, you see?

I get what you're saying, Jaymez, and you single-handedly proved my point. Most people hear "Chevelle" and in their mind's eye they see this:

There were good Chevelles and there were not so good Chevelles. Bear in mind that the car most people see in their imagination when they hear the name "Chevelle" is a totally hot-rodded SS version, and not the eminently more popular (as in total units sold) plain jane base models that were never ever even remotely…

I'd hold any definitive declarations about the '16 model until we see some more pix ... if they changed up the Optima by the same degree that Hyundai changed the Sonata, it could look substantially different in profile and from the rear.

I got divorced in my late 40s. Overweight, out of shape, decent job but starting my own household all over again by myself meant my new domicile looked like a hobo shack for quite a while. Anyways ... I jumped right into online dating (match dot com). I was on there for almost 3 months before I got a date ... and that…

CalTrans seems to be one of the least incompetent state DoTs out there ... sure we bitch and moan about every little thing when they do freeway repairs/upgrades/construction, but I'll be damned if the end results aren't usually excellent, and often completed either under budget or sooner than expected. Sure we have a…

You can't continuously bring charges on one event.
