Minor offences that lead to jail time, which gets extended indefinitely due to minor infractions or serious infractions cause by prison culture.

I never thought a commemorative cereal box collection could tell me more about a person, but this "centerpiece" would say a lot.

You understand what a centrist is, however the meta perception in online America is that a centrist is a right-winger in disguise.

News has determined decades ago that they get more attention by being entertaining. Dry factual news and clearly delineated opinion pieces don't get the views/clicks, and by extension money, so it is unsustainable. It still exists, but it isn't prevalent.

Roddenberry better be right about this one. If the Simpsons can call it as much as they have, Star Trek can have this one.

I have 30 years of cables and adapters in a box. I needed a cable in that box, it is in my storage unit that is an inconvenient 45 minute round-trip away. I still need that cable weeks later.

The box should never be thrown away or be located further than a short jaunt. Such is the law of the random cables and adapter box.

That's the one.

Snow tires are great, but I had to replace mine every two years. My area only has bad snow a few times year, they were fantastic for that, but the road were clear enough most of the time that I wore them down entirely too fast to justify the investment when high quality all-season tires did well enough in the poorly plowed times, combined with my driving ability, to make snow tires not worthwhile.

Absolutely a YMMV purchase and everybody in the snow belt should give them a try to know if they are right for them. Buying them with cheap dedicated wheels is absolutely a pro move; you only pay for a tire rotation instead of mount and balance and you save the risk to tire pressure sensors if your car has them.

Bigger is always better. You literally cannot go overboard with capacity because the jumper pack is smart enough to deliver the juice needed and not open the firehouse on a toddler.

It gives you more jumps for your own car between charges and it can help the stupid truck owner that can't even bear the mantle of responsibility of truck ownership by being prepared, and willing, to help others.

Regedit windows so it can't update. There is also a windows tool to disable Windows updates, except critical security updates, for 2 years. I can't remember the name of the program I have and can't be assed to figure it out, but it is out there. ~~Might be winaero tweaker?~~(See reply, Windows-Tool is the app.)

Cables and a jumper pack. A jumper pack means you don't need someone else to help you.

Don't get the ones that have an air compressor included, they are almost always terrible for anything other than inflating a ball. You don't want to leave the jumper pack in the car during severe cold or heat, it will reduce performance and may cause a premature failure. Having to sit in a -20 car while you have the jumper pack in your jacket so it can warm up enough to work sucks fairly hard.

NOCO makes great jumper packs.

I will also add that getting some hard plastic "traction mats" with a jack pad can really help you or someone else out if you or they get stuck and can't get out of the snow or have a flat tire on the highway in a snow storm.

Jet engines are a "stay the fuck away" during operation. Complacency being close to running jet engines means getting turned into chunky marinara, which nobody will enjoy, except for that one exicted guy that uses the bathroom after an incident of turbine-human interaction.
