"The front fell off."

In a 2012 interview, he said that he recalled his original audition, after which Roddenberry approached him, touched him on the shoulder, and said, "You make my writing sound better than it is."

That doesn't make the software take up more space on a drive. Optimizing is likely to result in a slightly larger install that runs more efficiently.

A McLaren is not an everyday driving vehicle, much less a truck that is supposed to be good for going offroad and all the body strain that goes along with it.

A McLaren also has an extemely light carbon fiber shell, which works well with adhesives. Pretty sure the shell sits on the car as well which is the opposite of heavy panels of stainless steel hanging off the sides.

If one understands gambling odds, being reincarnated in the US is a horrible bet.

Me everyday at 8 p.m.

Not sleepy, just worn out mentally.

If the same event has multiple versions of the same story on the same site, that would be lazy but most likely intended to draw in different readers by being presented in different formats.

Are the articles recycling the same wording for the body but with different titles?

Are you sure they aren't about different incidents with similar events?

Are they expanding on a prior story with new information, but reusing prior article text to show the ongoing trend?

Articles that I can think of from major news sites tend to put out new articles involving ongoing events with the new stuff at the top and then cut and paste from the previous article for context. Kind of lazy, but also providing consistency for a developing story.

A watchlist is a reminder that I wanted to watch something at some point in time, but like most things, I won't ever do it.

That is a combination of rivet and adhesive for additional strength.

Rivets are placed on the Prowler in a one-second cycle. (One interesting aspect of using this mechanical joining method: sheets of different thicknesses can be put together.) But then there is the issue of stiffness. Which led to the need to utilize epoxy adhesives. So now there is a combination of technologies, with rivets used in combination with adhesives. The result is a structure with a stiffness that’s improved by 40%.”At Chrysler,” says Dr. Saad M. Abouzahr, Prowler Materials Executive,

The adhesive improves the the stiffness of the joint that already includes a rivet. Body panels aren't going to fall off if the adhesive was faulty when there are rivets.

The cybertruck doesn't use rivets, they went even cheaper than fucking Chrysler.

This isn’t the first time a panel has decided it wants to make a dramatic exit from the Cybertruck. In fact, the boomerang-shaped panel above the doors has a habit of detaching itself, so Tesla recalled every single Cybertruck to apply a more aggressive adhesive, along with a stud and a nut, to keep things in place. What’s surprising here is that the front panel is also popping off for some owners.

Bolding by me to make it very clear that the cybertruck didn't even have a single nut or rivet holding body panels on.

Understanding the other side doesn't mean there will be a common ground. Understanding nazis doesn't mean there is common ground to share with them.

I'm sick and it is still snowing so I didn't do the whole patio, but did scoop two paths for the dogs to reach some grass. Can't do one because they will assume the other side would have been better and just hold it in.

Will need to redo them in a few hours when the dogs are ready to go again.
