Exactly! That pos has the attention span of a potato. Just tell him “yes sir, all done” and he’ll forget all about it

See the much faster leak really messing with the valve stem provides? This would be even faster if snipped rather than just removing the stem core

If you snip the stem off, the tyres will be flat very quickly, they will immediately notice this when pulling away unless they’re completely clueless and ignore the car handling like shit

Yes, yes it is. The tyre is at a higher pressure than the atmosphere so any hole will allow the air to equalize but the difference is how that air comes out:

Stab the sidewall (big hole, rapidly) air rushes out with a big bang.

Snip the stem, smaller hole, air rushes out slower but still very quick. Likely flat in under a minute. Different structure/strength that sidewall which is why it doesn’t pop/explode.

If you get a puncture, the reason it doesn’t leak as fast as snipping the stem (nor pop) - usually the nail/screw is still in the tyre, keeping it plugged somewhat, the distortion of the tyre under weight means this hole can open and close as the car rolls letting out a little at a time.

Source: have had punctures that take hrs to run flat, have watched tyre techs clip stems on an old tyres, seen videos of tyres being stabbed.

The air is like a flock of sheep - as soon as one finds a way out, they all immediately rush out too.

Even a tiny nick on the stem, the tyre would be flat before they’ve fastened their seatbelts.

Next time AF1 goes for a jaunt to pedo-island, the air traffic controllers that trump is insulting have an opportunity to become really American heroes…

Well, if that’s how it works, every country now needs to renames the US to something else on their maps. Whoever has the best name wins something - like, the Olympics or free membership to the UN.

Suggestions now open, I’ll start: “Little Girls Blouse”

They never seen to connect the thought that “the government is useless at everything” with “oh shit, WE ARE the government!”

Govt departments would be no worse than private business if they:

1. Were given the budget/resources to do their jobs properly
2. Didn’t have to 180 their strategic direction every 3 years because of changing ideologies
3. Didn’t have to rebuild staff morale, skills, experience and office culture every 6-10 years after a clean out.
4. Were able to keep competent managers/staff. Good ones don’t seem to last very long due to the above and more.

“> The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people,” former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper’s writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.

“You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those.”

Can only hope this is the case. If they’re not being useful, chances are they’re not being genuinely destructive either

Marley and Me

Just let the shows stay dead!

Ted Lasso was awesome and ended well but to drag it out of retirement for one last encore is never good. There are only two options - Hollywood ‘they win the championship’ which feels forced or they don’t win but learn lessons and we’re in the same place as last season.

You can’t recreate scrubs. They tried and failed and the same will happen here - bring back the old cast but they are much older now and it doesn’t work OR they recast it and everyone says “where are the old characters!?”.

To my eyes, scrubs is a coming off age early 20s, first big job, learning life and who-you-are kinda show so it has to be recast but getting that magic a second time will be nearly impossible.

Yes! DH but almost anything played straight as a change would be brilliant!

I was sad when I learned the episodes now available on streaming don’t have the same music - apparently the rights expired and they had to change many/all of the songs. I only checked one episode and immediately went back to my low-res, offline copy

They behave like this on the floor too!

And this is exactly why we see these sovcit crazies…

They see this sort of BS and then believe the entire world is built around secret codes and BS legal mumbo-jumbo. If you manage to crack the combination, you are set - and the reason this filthy scab didn’t get paid is because they didn’t have the correct paperwork - which in this case is basically true!

Missed a massive opportunity: the grin reaper!

Well, I’ll be damned! The republicans were right!

All it takes is a good-guy with a gun!

I’m reminded of a comedy skit I can’t find right now where they talk about how it was once illegal to remarry. I won’t spoil the punchline but it was revoked as soon as it inconvenienced the rich.

So I suggest a (theoretical) social experiment: anyone who is sick of this BS joins the force and start pulling this acab shit against those in power.

Pull over politicians, the 1%, nra lobbyists and ceos/executives or anyone with a net worth over $5 million, and have one of these accidental mishaps (bodycam activation is optional).

I estimate that it won’t take more than a dozen “whoopsies” at most, then watch how fast cops are held to account!
