I’ve had mixed results with these kinds of tools. Some just aren’t stiff enough to really lever the fastener out. Others are stronger (metal), but being metal, they tend to scratch the panels you are trying to pop the fastener out of. I’ve even had a metal one (AMZ garbage) bend on me.  There will always be some that…

“Reinbold is in bad company: hundreds of other assholes”
Can’t we could just fast-forward to the point in the movie where we stop calling them “Republicans” and start calling them by what they actually are - assholes. Why are we gleefully forwarding the asshole-rebranding-as-a-Republican effort?

I don’t believe for one second that right-wing media has the viewership it claims it has.  And I suspect something along these lines is how they arrive at their viewer numbers.

Yep, safety last from the Detroit FD. This seems like the closest engine station. You don’t exude safety when you pull your unoccupied engine well into a lane of traffic, just after two lanes are merged into one, just so you can wash it. There’s a few people there who need some talking to. First responders don’t just…

On the entry gate (Google street view), the juxtaposition of a “YOU CAN COUNT ON US” sign on one side, with a “PRIVATE TOW-AWAY ZONE” sign on the other is interesting. Very kind of them to print the name of the tow company on the sign itself. I’d certainly look to see if there is any association with the tow company…

I’ll start off by saying that hero worship is counter-productive and stupid, but while law enforcement has rightfully been given a lot of shit lately (bad process, bad training, bad hiring practices, and bad people), it’s first responders who come running when shit goes down. Reminds me of a time when all of the BLM…

Fox News does it better than Russia, and all in our own backyard. Why would Russia even make the effort?

Catalina Island is a popular destination for sportfishing so this is....concerning. Though, they have a lot of work to do, unrelated to DDT, to clean up Catalina. On my only trip there a cruise ship was parked in the harbor and the harbor was chock full of what appeared to be toilet paper.

No. And the “delta” is a terminal moraine. :P~~~~~~~~~~~

In 2021 everything is a camera and I’ve felt that NASA has lost out on a lot of good PR by not taking the time and effort to do big things with imagery....until now. New Horizons imagery was pretty, but this actual sound and video knocks it out of the park and then some. Future missions will be positively boring…

Oh, you’ll be paying more for fuel for sure. When corporations know their product is on the downturn jobs get cut, product quality goes into the toilet and price hikes soon follow. Given that oil companies are already very comfortable practicing monopolistic behavior, this is going to be a real shitshow.

....or a Macy’s winter fashion catalog.

I looked for Beetles in many many many Getty images of mid-60s Heathrow and the next best image I could find was this. Look at the look on his face.... https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/1st-june-1967-american-actor-clint-eastwood-finds-himself-at-the-of-picture-id3208752?s=2048x2048

Apologies for the multiple replies, but I was able to find a decent copy of the slightly earlier photo depicting the left side tail lamp....AND...,if I’m not mistaken, what looks to be the back of oddly rectangular, protruding headlights as well. I’m not sure if I can direct link to Getty photos, so here is a URL:…

I found a cached image in Google for beatlesarchive.net that indicates the date of the photo is 4/12/67. It has a photo taken a moment earlier showing that the other side of the car has the same odd taillight. That site seems down, though.
 

You and your “Cozy Coupes” can all fuck right off...

Can someone please take Nissan's steering wheel designer out behind the shed?

I’d recommend reading through some of Hyundai’s TSBs. They highlight some extremely fundamental manufacturing flaws that don't align with Hyundai's supposed newfound reliability record.

Can’t we agree to bitch about 1-size-fits-all seating before we bitch about weirdo steering wheels?

“is that all fine?”....(looks back on the last 4 years) evidence seems to point strongly towards yes. We are not currently a nation of laws for citizens from all walks of life. So, I’m calling this fine.  Time to put down the megaphone.
