You get hit hard enough with something with a raised design on it it will cut you. Someone with a ring on will leave an impression in your forehead.

I couldn't find any on AliExpress, but you can still find the oil filter adapters.

That's why the TSA is always changing their process and being assholes. Apparently "looking around" and "making eye contact" are suspicious behavior. One of the agents was being an absolute dick to my wife, I was already waiting to go, he turns around to start doing the same thing to me but I was already standing there waiting on him. The guy looked absolutely shocked that I was looking straight at him in the eyes while I was pissed off.

It doesn't matter what you're writing, using plain language doesn't mean you're dumbing it down. It makes it easier to read and understand what you're trying to say. You can take corporate jargon as the opposite of this. It can be vague, different people will have different definitions of certain words.

Great, go do the brakes with standard tools, oh wait, you have to use a special "triple square" tool instead of having a standard hex bolt like every other car. And on and on with the bullshit.

Technically some houses can be moved or stilted, but they need a place to move them to. The government subsidizes flood insurance and they'll keep paying over and over again instead of just making people move somewhere else.

Because he was hit with it hard enough to make the mark, but his eye socket didn't allow it to hit him all the way so only part of it left a mark.

European car manufacturers largely suck ass, I'd rather buy a Hyundai or a damn Nissan than some French or German piece of crap.

Asians are racist af even against other Asians
