Every year, almost every teacher.

I am applying myself, Jane you ignorant slut (SNL reference).

I was embittered before 2nd grade because teachers wouldn't answer my questions and acted like I was being a smart ass.

No, YOU just did a shitty job explaining why something is done a certain way. "Just because" isn't a fucking answer.

College was just as bad, maybe worse.

Most teachers suck. As in about 95% of them.

Ooh, like that too!

Because it just wastes wax paper, which, being waxy, attracts dirt and dust. A nice little breeding ground.

How hard is it to wipe the top of a fridge with a wet cloth and a couple shots of degreasing spray? I buy degreaser (Super Clean) by the gallon ($10), make my own diluted spray. That gallon lasts years, and works better than the expensive stuff.

Using wax or parchment for a tray that catches grease under something makes sense - then you just ball up the paper and pitch it, rather than waste gallons of hot water trying to clean the tray.

These kinds of people should work in a restaurant for a while, see what's involved in properly cleaning/maintaining a kitchen.

Yep.

There are times and places for this kind of idea. Maybe covering the tops of cabinets because that material is porous... But why not just paint the porous wood instead? Do it once, and if you use a gloss oil base paint, it'll never need repainting and it's easy to clean.

So awful, so bad, so.... DAD.

Fine... Take my upvote, cause I chuckled.

Put the factory muffler back on? 😁

Just kidding, what's the story on the mufflers, is the factory one quiter than your aftermarket?

I've seen baffles removed, and some aftermarket have removable baffles so you can put in what u need...so I'd think you'd be able to baffle it a little.

A ooooold trick to quiet down a hot car was to stuff steel wool into the muffler and wire it in so it wouldn't blow out. Get it inspected, leave, cut the wires and the steel wool blows out.

Maybe you could pack a metal tube with steel wool, make it so it slides into the muffler and use a simple bailing wire through drilled holes across the pipe to retain it (or hitch retaining pins could work). Easy to remove.

It will affect mixture, the additional backpressure will make it run a little rich, but that won't hurt the engine.

The pita factor is having to do this every morning, then take them out, stow them. I'd probably end up leaving them in, being lazy.

Seems like a win-win

Christmas Eve... 5 months ago? This stuff needs harsher penalties.

Looks like a 14-year-old's hubristic attempt at being snarky.

When permitting security failures costs more than preventing, then companies will do something.
