...you bought tires sight unseen? Yeah...don’t do that. You’re supposed to inspect them before purchasing.

I’ve bought used tires before. Was able to inspect them thoroughly before purchasing. Tires lasted quite a few years through all kinds of weather on pot-hole ridden midwest roads.

Would I do it today? No. My…

Were they mounted on wheels when you bought them? Cause a cursory glance at the insides would’ve shown you they’d been patched and plugged.

So 4 tires, and each went flat 40 times. It’s hard for me to imagine that any tire would get 40 different punctures over its lifetime and be patched every time. And that apparently happened to all 4 tires.

You would be surprised by the number of people that buy a new vehicle and promptly swap out the factory rubber.  Oem rubber is made to a price point, not to be optimal for the vehicle.

I’ve got a few family members who’ve thrown out this “argument”. My response: “Do you take Advil? do you know what’s IN Advil? Do you know how long they studied the efficacy of Advil before deciding it was safe? Then why are you worried about that all now, when a headache is very unlikely to kill you.”

We don’t reclaim our vapor here in Michigan. I always top off my tanks. Always. When I think it’s close to full, I drop to the slowest handle setting. When it clicks off, I burp the nozzle out of my filler, give it a few seconds, and then top off on slowest click. Generally get about another 0.4 to 0.8 gallons into my…

Indeed. Many commercial pressure washers come equipped with a thing called an accumulator, which is basically a nitrogen-charged cylinder(ish) device that acts in exactly the way you describe. 

“it will trigger a slow flow condition, which ideally will result in a customer notifying someone at the station that there’s something wrong”

The cynic in me is thinking that the utility just wants someone else to cover their infrastructure upgrades.

You got screwed.

Path 5. The hospital/system is well managed, serves commercially insured, medicare, vets, indigent patients equally. 

I fell in love with the Detroit-style pizza that has spread it’s way out the furthest from Detroit, Jet’s, even though it isn’t a perfect replica (sauce under the cheese, you know). But I moved away from a town that had Jet’s and was SO excited for this Pizza Hut version.

this isn’t a “pizza style” this is “oops I really fucked up, how do I cover up for this? I know! Tell the customer the cold toppings are a feature, not a bug!”

God, Ohio sucks for more reasons than I previously knew.

I don’t swear often, but what the fuck is wrong with people?

yeah but it’s cheap

Nah, Little Caesars is fine, super cheap pizza. It’s not objectively good compared to a good local place, but it doesn’t try to be. It’s more honest than the Pizza Hut... thing above.

It’s also hilarious because the exact same thing has happened with apple multiple times.

I like to refer to him as Lil’ Lafayette Hubbard, just to rub it in that he was always a fuckin’ joke.

I’m impressed that simple links are cutting it so cleanly. For the Kursk removal I thought they used some sort of diamond embedded cable or something.
