Disclaimer: could be illegal where you are and definitely if you damage anything

Battery powered impact driver and a scissor jack.

Jack the front or back end up, push it over toward the street, pick up the Jack's and do the same on the other end.

Walk it to the street.

If you want to go scorched earth, Sawzalls and acetylene torches to cut the car along the pavement. This one will probably draw more attention from police.

If you view his comment from a technical standpoint, you're both right. She is manufactured....

But no more so than any other country singer. Bo Burnham's country song plays quietly in the background

I drove past a church yesterday that still had 10+ of the NO signs dotted alongside the road.

Funny, I remember a time when churches at least pretended not to try and manipulate politics.

I absolutely love tall ships.

I'd love to find a quality model to assemble over a weekend, forget on a shelf for two months, then spend a week painting.

I live near a parking lot for semi trucks to chill after manufacture, before leaving the factory properly. They used to have obnoxious sodium vapor lights that bathed the general area in a dull orange glow at night, maybe a bit brighter than full moonlight.

Then they massively expanded the lot (and bulldozed 5 acres of forest, and at least 100 more of what used to be pollinator habitats, and put in led lighting.

As they stripped it all down and put down flat black asphalt they were all over the news about how environmental they are for using LEDs.

The LEDs have even worse than normal light spill because the lamps are all 45 degree canted, thus flooding the sky as well. Each lamp that used to hold one small boxed sodium lamp now has FIVE PAIRS of 2ftx3ft panels spaced every 20 or so semi spots.

In spring and fall when clouds/fog sit right above the hills, you can see it clear as a beacon from almost 10 miles away. Farther if you're on your own hill.

And in winter, the trees around me are bare enough that I needed to buy blackout curtains.

Every so often I fantasize about ripping them all down with a truck during their holiday shutdowns, and leaving an extremely condescending printout of proper lighting techniques taped to each pole.

Nobody holds a vice quite like the religious.

When you can just make all your sins disappear by thinking really hard at your sky friend, why bother with silly things like "morality"

I know a few people who have dipped into OF, and only one of them made enough after a few months to keep going. Still has a day job though.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like someone going out and being beaten for the entertainment of others should be well paid for their beatings, regardless of their "top skill" status. I don't watch ufc, but I've only ever heard bad things about their treatment of the fighters.

She'd never have made that much of it weren't for her time with ufc, but it's also no wonder she makes more on OF.

O'Neill (two Ls) absolutely would not be just sitting in a bar playing darts. He'd be poking around where he should be, telling Daniel to ask his annoyingly humanitarian questions to make sure DS9 isn't some weird hidden prison camp (anymore) and probably trying to step in to help assist against the dominion. If it's Mitchell, above still applies but he'd also be participating. I assume it would have to be Mitchell if the Atlantis team is able to appear, but hey it's time travel baby! Rules go byebye. Sha're and Drey'ac could show up too.

Daniel is always translating for the group, and we only get to hear other languages spoken when Daniel has trouble translating. It's their version of handwaving why everyone speaks English instead of handwaving as a universal translator (that wouldn't work if you aren't on a ship or don't have a comm badge or are on a planet where no tech works, but everyone still understands each other anyway)

And Carter would be having so much fun trying to figure out how all the tech works, I think she would demand to see the chief engineer and science officer. Things could get weird if she's read the Atlantis mission files yet.

And if it's the Atlantis team showing up, they're probably going to assume someone figured out Laiden's plans, saved Cowen, and now they're plotting revenge on a repurposed mining station from a long dead civilization.

Man there are so many actors that have been in both franchises, it's hard to pick which would be the most interesting in-character interaction to see.

Jellico/O'Neill would be hilarious. The Nox could sure teach quark a thing or two. I'd love to see Q come face to face with Simmons. Teyla rounding a corner and running into Tucker would certainly be a fight worth watching.

I wonder, would Teal'c even recognize Ishta as tpol?

If they want to attack me, do it directly, fucking cowards. Let's see who's shaky ass early-stages-of-dementia hands are more accurate.

It's an American tradition, right?

"sorry, you can't present relevant data"

The legal system is a joke and we're part of the punchline.

Andy serkis?

That one guy who does a shitload of videogames and anime dubs whose name always escapes me?
