That one was about the Titanic. A guy wants to tell Everett about a Titanic joke and Everett smashes him on the floor and tells him to joke about that for a while
Rockefeller alone accounted for as much as 3% of the US GDP at one point. That would be like 800 billion today. It's difficult to just draw a straight line of inflation on his net worth from his height to today, because the economy has fundamentally changed since then. Partially because of how fucking ruthless of a motherfucker he was.
Imagine if all cars were electric, and Tesla was ultimately the only source of electricity for everything you own. And Elon basically said if you don't vote for his guy he'll shut off the lights. And had done exactly that before.
Rockefeller, and others like him, also purchased their fair share of elected officials and if you worked for them, it was understood you voted for the guy they wanted. Or there would be consequences.
Your oil gauge really shouldn't be moving a whole lot. That's a feature, not a bug. The information you need is too cold, too hot, or just right. Knowing the exact temperature might obfuscate the important data. 99.9999% of the time, your oil temperature is within operating temperatures. You really only need to know when it isn't.
Kind of the same thing for oil pressure, you either have enough, or you don't. There's no need to buy a quart of oil just to throw half of it in the car. That warning comes early, it's "you need to go get oil in the car you're currently driving, make that the next thing you do." Not "you're out of oil pull over."
If you ever see an externally mounted oil reservoir, it will have two lines. One near the top, and one a ways from the bottom for max and minimum fills. If the machine that's connected to has a sensor, it goes off well before that minimum fill line, and that minimum fill line leaves enough oil in the reservoir to lubricate everything it's lubricating multiple times over before it runs dry.
Gyms typically want your checking information, rather than your card to avoid exactly that.
So you just have to go to the counter and tell them to remove your payment information and when they don't, (they'll say they have but you'll magically get another change months later) then report them to your bank for fraud.
They'll get a hold of you real fuckin fast.
When they take your checking account details they're required by law to remove them from your system when you ask.
Amish paradise is not a parody. Coolio actually had a case if he had sued.
