Zac Brown Band's John Driskell Hopkins reveals ALS diagnosis

Saw that. Hopefully it keeps dragging on slowly and give him a chance for a continued normal life and career

I believe it.

The old half a glass of water analogy.

Optimist: The glass is half full

Pessimist: The glass is half empty

Engineer: The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

There's nothing quite so boring as waiting on an oil change. I'm about to fall asleep in this waiting room

You sure it isnt your gonorrhea flaring up again?

All engines should be that way. We're probably dumping oil too early in most cases because somebody set a number "to be on the safe side". Engines burn cleaner these days, so you'd definitely expect fewer pollutants to get by the rings and contaminate the oil.

Did they really "set a number to be on the safe side", or did they set a number that would double their revenues?

The worst part is when they tell you everything else they want to do to the vehicle. I got so tired of getting a clean air filter explained to me that I just started going dealership only or drive through only. It’s so annoying.

That cuts deep

‘I bring laughter, I bring Music,
I bring joy and I bring Tears

That's Thursday for me.

Maryland requires all vehicles bought out of state undergo a $100 inspection by a licensed station (full body, not just emissions), who then try to upsell you on all kinds of service. Then you take that form and pay $500+ for two license plates that you have to give back when you move out of state.

I am sure it sounded reasonable when the measure was passed.
