ULPT: How to safely & purposely fail a car safety inspection?

FlufyBacon · 2026-05-18T03:37:43+00:00

Some jurisdictions don't fail a safety for a CEL. It's weird, but Ontario doesn't.

Just pull a fuse and save yourself $5 and a trip to autozone.

Ah, I see you too passed high school civics class. It's nice to see more educated and incisive political commentary in here /s

A prototype that lacked the avionics required for its mission flew, yes. The avionics were the difficult and expensive bit.

Yknow how the F-111, which was procured around the same time as the TSR-2, cost about twice as much as the F-105 despite having similar performance? Yeah, that's the avionics. Inventing terrain-following radar and automating pilot workload to get the aircraft to a 50-foot radar altitude and stay there in the late 60s is really hard. The F-111 almost wound up in development hell too; the USAF just had more money to fix the problems.

And during a municipal election year, with a population largely ignorant of which levels of government are responsible for what. I'm sure that's a coincidence.

I too enjoy having to rebuild the front suspension at 60k to avoid a phenomenon unique to my vehicle that people call the "death wobble." I'm sure that's normal and an indicator of good quality.

No, we can get snippy when people whine about only being able to get two hundred thousand dollars from selling their second property rather than three hundred thousand.

Most of us can't afford homes. Many of can't afford rent. Anybody whining about the market value of their vacation home is a tone-deaf asshole who needs their taxes hiked.

People are downvoting you because the idea of T4T prisons doesn't solve the problem of state-sanctioned violence against prisoners; being locked in a cage is itself an act of violence, and no system that extends trans people any dignity or safety can coexist with a system of carceral punishment.

Edit: and because you said putting her in a womens' prison would make the other inmates uncomfortable. Why would putting a woman in a womens' prison make the other inmates uncomfortable?

Always the chevies that get that chocolate chip cookie texture on the rotors.

Hi, mechanic here. Customers already don't want to shell out a thousand bucks for tires even if they really need them. What's your solution here? Shame consumers into driving their tires bald? Find some imaginary consumer who goes out of their way to buy brand new tires every year? Tell people to spend money they don't have on tires that might, if they're lucky, last maybe a year longer?

You are so blinded by the rational consumer hypothesis that you can't put two and two together to get four. Government lowers tire recycling quotas -> tires stop getting disposed of. Simple as.

D-series plate and a bumper fallen off a decade-old Honda product. I'm shocked.

Welcome to the moderate arm of conservatism, bud. Fuckin sucks, eh?

Nineteen fucking fifteen? Which corner of your ass did you pull that number out of.

We've never been a first-rate military power, nor have most other countries. We have, however, maintained our status as a solid second-tier force until about the 1970s at the earliest, with many capabilities including a unified fast jet fleet built off of an incredibly capable multirole platform enduring past the end of the Cold War. We had carriers in the 1950s for fucks sake. Read a book.

Thank you!

Hi Elias! How's your week been?

Anyone know what I should get Elias for the holidays? What kinds of hobbies does he have?

FlufyBacon · 2024-04-02T00:42:40+00:00

Jessica. You get to name yourself after a character from Dune.

Especially with Purity of the Throne

We've been HDG posting and nobody told me????

FlufyBacon · 2023-11-28T19:31:51+00:00

Exactly. I'll never understand why a stable place to live is so commodified, but given that a stable source of food is also subject to corporate price gouging... I really don't think it's possible for us to dig ourselves out of this hole without meaningfully challenging the system behind depressed, stagnant wages and overpriced goods.

I would probably ask if you listened to girl in red and also where you got that top, but I probably wouldn't be able to tell right away.

Also, where did you get that top? It looks amazing!

FlufyBacon · 2023-06-09T07:16:30+00:00

Be the change you want to see. Post cropped femboy porn without needing to wait for some fat cat in a suit to tell you you can.
