I always thought the whole "wake up without a kidney" idea was an exaggeration... yet again I was wrong.

While the lack of immobilizer is dumb it makes sense they use that rationale as a way to cast doubt on their liability in the situation.

I'm actually most surprised that insurance companies (and their own finance dept) have allowed it to happen. Eg, Subarus in the mid-2000s didn't have immobilizers - insurance rates were very high (if allowed), eventually sales were affected and they added the feature.

It shows your comment happening 5mins earlier than the original post. Odd.

Firefox printing is painful. Didn't respect grayscale setting for PDFs, fixed for a few months, back to doing it again.

There are many types of drywall compound (mud) for different use-cases and skill levels. The premixed bucket stuff sets by air contact - this stuff is usually more forgiving and sandable, just be ready for some shrinking and being patient with allowing to dry fully. The all purpose, lightweight, plus-3 stuff can do most jobs. Many pros will use powdered "hot mud" that sets by chemical reaction - you'll see numbers like 90mins, this is time you get to use it (assume you'll actually get half that before it gets weird). They use this because they are on a job and can get multiple coats done in a day but it takes more skill to get it right. Those are usually less forgiving and harder to sand. Also bucket mud goes rancid after sitting, but what you need for the job but don't expect it to be there for next project.
