It couldnt hurt provided you remove it immediately after the storm is over and you would need to use something substantially stronger than kitchen grade wrap. Think industrial pallet wrap and a LOT of it definitely a large expense and a mountain of work for a questionable level of protection.

Practically speaking though it could prevent a lot of minor storm damage and prevent it from becoming large damage, would definitely protect the windows to some degree and secure items so they dont get ripped off the house.

The storage requirements are the real killer, cars become 3 times larger the moment you start dissasembly.

Motorsport CAN be done relatively cheaply… drifing is not one of the cheaper options unfortunately.

Theres a hillclimb circuit near me and I’ve contemplated buying a cheap hatchback just to have something to take out, abuse and upgrade as I can.

I can only really stick at sim racing these days.

No story, no fetch quests, no save scumming or p2w bullshit.

If you tell me I’m not allowed to boo… thats fine. But you cant make me clap.

Dont worry, Leary is still doing his act.

In my experience most guys who work out, eat clean and get lots of exercise are super conscious of not being “That guy” at their gym, running spots or wherever they go to get their workout on. They also dont tend to have to do a lot of work to meet women outside of that environment. If a guy is handsome, employed and is generally polite and friendly available women will make the advance because as you have found, theres a lot of (even if they are very nice people) guys that well… arent.

SOME things were better in the past. Most were not. Just because someone can you can name a few examples of things that were better doesnt make them right.

IMO they should have made the expanded universe for the adult fans and done their own thing for the PG fanbase.

It really depends on how granular the laws get in certain areas.

But for example indecent exposure may not be a mandatory register on the sex offenders registry, but within 200m of a school or playground is mandatory. (even if it was 2am on a sunday in the middle of the school holidays during the dead of winter.) Like the whole getting booked for drunk driving for being drunk and going to your car to get a jacket.

There are people who are on the register who shouldnt be and people who absolutely should be who arent.

Michael is probably the hardest case of this too.

Its easy not to support, discuss or enable Kevin Spacey because while he was a brilliant actor in a few movies he wasnt irreplaceable. Michael on the other hand was likely one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He was a cultural phenomenon.

A lot of allegations and concerning behaviors absolutely but no convictions and a lot of people who knew him who defend him absolutely. A lot of potential substance abuse or mental health issues but also a lot of financial reasons why people may have alleged things that didnt happen…

Michael is a very grey case.

That was the advice I got when I went to Europe.

Learn how to say four things “Hello”, “Do you speak English?”, “Sorry” and “Thank you” and most people will do their best to work with you.

My point was that good policies can be interpreted poorly.

The company has people it KNOWS are first aid trained and they were trained recently. Letting someone who claims to know take precedence over someone who definitely does would be bad policy, switching out for someone who is documented as trained asap is good policy. First aiders need to sign waivers and forms saying they accept the risks and responsibilities, which limits the liability of the company if Bob doesnt make it or Bob had hepatitis. Standard corporate BS but sensible policy.

Some idiot interprets the policy poorly as “have the person relived by first aiders only” and refuses to let anyone else help.

Its definitely liability related but my point was that good policies can be interpreted poorly.

My workplace has a similar rule about CPR or medical emergencies. It has to be supervisors or the official first aid team members IF POSSIBLE. 1. Because we know all of the first aid training for those people is current. 2. Its traumatising for people to perform CPR especially if its ineffective. And we are to encourage staff to return to their duties or at very least advise staff to clear the area and give them some privacy because if you arent actively helping (Which this person was) you’re just gawking and you need to fuck off.

Could very well be common sense rules that have been misinterpreted by an idiot.

My wife has warned her friends “Never refer to my husband looking after his kids as “babysitting” unless you want a snarky, probably very rude response.”

Except on their anchovies.

The sad thing is how good some of those family cars that were so god damn pedestrian 20 years ago are now.

I drove one of the v6 Camrys with the 8 speed… 300hp and half a second faster over the quarter than the gt86… Sure its not manual.and isnt rwd but for a daily… it fucking slapped. “iT cAnT dRiFt” yeah I’m a 40yo man with two kids seats in the back, I’m not trying to tackle Mt Akina.

Why arent people buying more cars from the 70s?

Parts and servicing is a big problem now. A lot of shops wont touch anything they cant plug a diagnostic computer into.

Some parts are made of unobtanium and require complex workarounds or paying through the nose for parts.
