For that matter, proceeding with your logic, proper spelling is not important. 

 

Is this also part of your simplistic argument? 

 

Nothing means anything, simply because anything can, potentially, mean everything? 

 

You just described the core of the post-modernist's ideology.

Fast fix.  Get something flat like a thick piece of plastic to cover the drains when not in use.  Can put something heavier, like a bottle of water, on top to help hold it down.

 

Better fix.  Change the floor drains to ones that have a flap on the bottom that close when no water is draining.  Keeps odors and critters out.  There are 2 types.  Those that use a spring to keep it closed and those that have a weight flap.  I like the spring ones better, they seal tighter.  Just saw a third type on Lazada that uses magnets.  No experience with those.

 

Global house sells some or on Lazada.

 

The flap style drains you recommend are a good way of avoiding smells.  The only problem being that you have to ensure it is cleaned regularly.  My wife's hair eventually builds up over time, and stops the flap from closing properly.

I hope it wasn't the pinky finger from his dominant hand - retraining his other hand to relieve nasal congestion may be an issue.

On the other hand, time will be saved at nail cutting time. 

I don't begrudge anybody having a beer at any time of the day or night. 

But what is it with the dudes who buy a beer at 6am from the 7/11 and drink it sitting on the steps, wearing short-shorts with no underwear, and their tackle poking out?

Side Note - who's responsible for the Scandinavians and Russians not getting the memo circa 1985 that short-shorts and budgie smugglers (Speedos) ceased to be de riguer unless you were running a marathon or swimming in the Olympics?

I doubt they have sufficient square meterage of prison space to fully enforce the law.

I don't think he could successfully kill them using abusive language.

And motorway can be quite stressful if you follow any keep left rules.

You will be passed on the right, you will be passed on the left. Lane change is an adventure.

Do like the pros: rightmost lane, 120. Don't care about approaching Ferraris. They will zigzag their fast track somehow.

And when the fast approaching tosser behind you flashes his lights to tell you to get out of the way, activate your right-hand indicator.

Where's the video. 

It's actually a good read.

I'm especially impressed with the definition (on page 1) of an automobile as any engine powered vehicle with 3 or more wheels.  And the definition of a motorcycle as anything with only 2 wheels, except when it has an additional wheel for a sidecar, being 3 wheels.

It's been done by a dog. I had the same problem a couple of years back. The dog was a puppy and was sleeping under the car during the day. Luckily my car was new and the dealers replaced the damaged part free.

 

I agree.  Rats and mice aren't famous for chewing the actual copper.

The OP mentioned the term "guesswork", which reminds me of the electrical wiring in my house. 

 

It's shocking, really. 

 

Nothing seems to be properly grounded. 

 

Sometimes the lights flicker, if they glow at all. 

 

Some of the electricians here are self-taught. And others are not taught, whatsoever. 

 

Does anybody know that an electrical plug is designed to be plugged in one way, and not the obverse? 

 

Thai food is wonderful because it's an artform. It's the guesswork in Thai food that makes it what it is. 

 

But it is also the guesswork in Thai electrical wiring that makes it so shocking. 

 

In mathematics, a matrix is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or a property of such an object. 

 

99 percent of people here in Thailand do not know how to mathematically manipulate matrices, worth their salt. 

 

I find this simple fact, shocking. 

 

Still, the food is exceptional. 

 

I assume that most of you didn't come here to learn advanced Algebra. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tangible evidence of an alternate reality.

The retard raising the bags high and intentionally dropping them was a bit OTT. Obviously in need of a career change. But this may be difficult as he probably has an IQ only slightly in excess of his shoe size.

However, imagine how much longer the process would take if they treated each item with kid-gloves? I don't want to wait at the carousel for an extra hour just so my crappy suitcase doesn't get scuffed.

If the rear wheel locked up to the extent the OP states, it probably wasn't a stall.  A stall results in normal deceleration, even on a semi-auto.

OP - it's probable that your transmission locked up because the gears didn't mesh correctly at the shift. Difficult to achieve, but can be done. Particularly if you did a slow stab of the pedal and the shift is made too early.

Important note for non-Aussies: - Thongs = flip-flops not underwear

Clarification for Kiwis:  Flip-flops = Jandals.  Thong = G-String.  ????

Buy a hand held-held gas torch.  Best fire-starter ever invented.

Credit where credit is due - that's a very neat paint job.

One thing I do not understand when looking at the video. The Gentleman appears to be looking directly at the oncoming traffic when he steps out. It is clear the car is going far too fast to stop in the distance. Seems almost like a suicide mission, unless he is not capable of judging distance and speed.

I hope he is ok and recovers quickly.

Absolutely correct.
