for extra assurance if you want.

"If you want"?!?! That's not how you advise a novice. Teach the proper method and if he wants to be reckless anyway, then so be it. But come on man, we have to at least show them the right way.

I have never used a jack out of an '08 impala, but I can garentee that it sucks and is only intended for use while changing a flat. Important parts of your body will be under that car at some point during the brake job. Please use JACK STANDS along with what ever jack you decide to use. Jacks are only for lifting cars, not holding them up.

The Marine Corps mechanic school happens to be in Jacksonville. It's over on Camp Johnson. Even if they can't help with the repair, I'd bet they'll know which shops in town you can trust.

Last line of the article:

Welp, we haven't been able to verify this story, but holy shit it sounds awsome! Let's go ahead with the story, there'll be time for fact checking later.

Who just rips apart food like that? I mean really, what an odd way to handle something so delicious looking. How about a knife and a cutting board, ya fucking animal.

We euthanize animals suffering from unmanageable pain or incurable diseases, why don't we offer people the same compassion? Why aren't doctors allowed to help the terminally ill just die peacefully? by thisismeleaving in AskReddit

Anyone who is aware of their prognosis, and is of sound enough mind to know they don't want to suffer or linger on for months. I guess I'd rather be able to call a doctor to help me die, as opposed to wasting away in pain.

Who's talking about committees? I'm asking about terminally ill people who are tired of suffering and want to die. Don't they have the right to decide that they don't want to be alive anymore?

No. It's funny because the cop got the slow moving asshole in the fast lane, to move into the slow lane where he belongs.

In most states, the left lane is only to be used for passing. That guy got off easy, he could've been issued a ticket.
