Still unforgivable

It's not an oddity at all. Given that rock bands were at least partly helpful in the collapse of the socialist block in Europe, it shouldn't surprise you that most rock bands got a second wind in ex-socialist countries, and are making concerts there to this day, 30+ years later. It's like a...

I still don't believe it. Can't believe someone would butcher a classic like that. Bleh.

Passive protection is what brings you to avoid the accident, like handling and so on (case in point above). Active protection is what protects you after it hits the fan. It's not news anymore, but shell-wise - the Tesla Model S apparently broke NTHSA's roof-crushing machine during the tests...

One might notice that the overwhelming majority of artists who sing in English while not being native English speakers are from Europe. The above is valid mostly for them. Pretty much any band or singer there that communicates with spoken language and wants to make it has or had to use English...

As fun would have it, I finally went through my pipe's box today to check what else is there, and it turned out that what I thought was some piece of makeup was actually something else. Given that this box is mostly a time capsule, I'd say it must be 20ish or so years old. Maybe less...

Could be somemething as simple as more AWD being sold than RWD, and the wheels and tires being shared with some other model. Buyers care about tire replacement prices in the US.

This ^^^ We used to have a Mitsubishi Diamante, was going through rotors every 12k miles (known issue, undersized rotors). Always dealer - maintained. Not a single time did "replacing rotors" come to be mentioned. It was always resurface, resurface, resurface. T'was 20 years ago, but I'm quire...

I think what they want is tools/furniture/lawn&garden/recreational/renovation

I don't see anything to support 1. other than your desire for it to be so. Thus 2. is no more. Cockpicts have been spied on for half a century via voice recording. If anything, pilots are the earliest professionals in history to have gotten used to be recorded. Adding cameras to monitor...

If you got it to 117k miles and the only issue you got was the AC, I'd pay to see how many times the depreciation savings from a German you'd have to cough in repairs if you owed one. Sounds like Lexus is your only bet if you are looking for simple.

Already received my replacement. These things are built by the million. Some bad batches are inevitable.

Given how it's two vehicles living in the same location and likely serviced by the same dealer, I'd look into what exactly parts the dealer installed. I wouldn't put it beyond them to have used some econocrap line from who knows where. Also ditto on the holding the pedal after a stop. What I do...

I'm all in for Ukraine, but for what it's worth - the Russians have little interest in downing it, even if they could. Their scoreboard of downing civilian airplanes over Ukraine is already full.

Excuse me, Sir ? Sir ?? Sir ?!? Yeah, so, if you don't mind me asking - WHERE are your statistically mandated 40% obese people-units and 10% severely obese unit-peoples ?? ARE YOU HIDING THEM ??? I can help. For a reasonable fee, I can stop by.

But then, you'll be legally required to continuously cross 125th street in Harlem on foot - hooded, head slumped 45 degrees downwards, and DIAGONALLY to the the street, ALONG traffic's direction, Airpods in blasting full tilt, so your street crossing takes the longest amount of time possible...

Beware, P. Diddy will eventually get released...

Poor guy. If any consolation - in such a fire, my understanding is two or three breaths in he was dead. It's not like he roasted from the feet up.

Mile 22. I love it for what it is (one of the best movies ever), I hate it for having tricked me to go through several episodes of Wu Assassins thinking that there's no bad bad movies with Iko Uwais (who also was in The Raid, which became the base for Dredd, another two pure pearls). Little did...

A global conspiracy by a dark kabal, fortunately caught by a sharp mind, as is usually the case with most facepalm life moments...
