I mentioned up top that, yes, they are making several commercial jets in the dozens, but I confess surprise that they were buying parts internationally, like engines.

I appreciate your point but you’re not accounting for the supply of untraceable and used parts; fell of a truck, long hours, no logs, etc. The cost of the real thing makes the illicit profitable and a sudden scarcity doubles down. It could be argued the world will run out of popular components eventually but demand…

Impossible. These people have known each other and worked together for decades. Even if they stopped talking Rock would still know from the grapevine.

I’m confident Chris Rock is experienced with people taking a poke at him.

Best thing you can do for a tire in a trunk well is to clean out the well persistently. The worst thing for a spare is sitting in all the spilled squishee, vegetable oil, windshield washer fluid, undercoating, rain, and rust that builds up in there. Also helps the metal finish remain intact.

Architects think they rule the light, maximal light approaching god-like power, and maximal glass lets the unwashed see to worship the gods in their temples. I gag every time I see an expensive architectural project surrounded by flood lamps, so the lowborn can marvel at the wonderment 24x7 and pay taxes…

Actually, after studying the B&W a moment, here’s a guy that’s just the right middling age, a little weathered but healthy and could pull off the entire lifespan with makeup:

Maybe it’s the curse? The first person I thought of is dead:

I have frozen vegetables in regular rotation because they tend to be the cheapest option—not always—but I’ve learned to live with the shortcomings. If I was planning to pour cheese sauce over everything I’d make time for better vegetables, but a handful of frozen California mix goes well with instant ramen and …

I’m still pissing myself over the egg. After dinner and some mints, Atouk zug zug Lana.

I ridicule the assumptions as “would think” doesn’t cut it when safety is critical. The worst are the bean counters who look at bad events and decide there’s no point in reacting if it’s only one in eleventy billion customers affected in addition to demanding compensation.

I don’t know what certification body this falls under but it’s bad GMP to put anything in any unlabelled container.

Is sight, touch, or smell required to be a customer of or work for Starbucks? I imagine sight might be obligatory and manditory, but I don’t imagine knowing the temperature with my hand or putting my face near a customer’s cup for any reason.

It’s odd that anybody believes somebody would bother to look inside. This is why safety protocols never work compared to passive restrictions.

To think—all that time it my apartment was covered in bacteria. I am no one to be trifled with, and I spent the last few years building up an immunity to bacteria.

I’ll never forget the instructions left on a high school blackboard, when I arrived for a night class. I hope there was some dynamic participation building the list, but I keep thinking the same exercise today would be four hours of building a PowerPoint presentation:

Better than buying people food that’s so bad you wouldn’t feed it to the dog.

I’m sorry, is this a strainer joke? I gotta know.

Also handy for finding where the bastards who sabotaged the engine bay were yanking on things.

Please share. What did the design look like before the circlips?
