    Where is the line between car maintenance and car repair? If your battery fails and you just replace it, I think most people think of that as car maintenance. If your alternator fails and you replace that, I think most people think of that as car repair. Is it just an accessibility thing? Is it whether the car has to go on a lift? I don't think that can be it because replacing your tires is definitely maintenance. Replacing the valve cover gasket, which is easy to get to and does not require a lift, seems like a repair, not maintenance.

    Repair is fixing something broken. 

    Maintenance is replacing something that has a limited useful lifetime in order to prevent future repairs. 

    Ideally, your maintenance items cost less than the repairs they're designed to prevent

    You're absolutely right - but there's definitely an implication in some of the above posts that the women listed there are somehow equivalent to the some of the women I saw waiting in line for a popular KC "BBQ" joint I had to eat at because a client said I just "had to try it." He's a fucking idiot, their shitty deli meat "brisket" sucks, searing cubes of beef does not a burnt end make, and their women are busted. The pork ribs were OK, I guess. Also, Anna Kendrick and young Susan Sarandon in particular - absolutely would. All day long. Or at least 37 seconds it would take me to finish

    Anyway, I got mad about horrendous KC "BBQ" and kind of forgot my point. 

    i mean my standards are definitely lower now than they were, too.

    Mah Shelf!

    Top row: The Onion (in plastic), Kate Beaton, Sandman (acquired before finding out he was a dirtbag), Gunnerkrigg Court, Elfquest (1st two volumes of the 2024-25 reprint... next two volumes are both on preorder), Bea Wolf/Augie and the Green Knight by Weinersmith.

    Bottom Row: Drive, Girl Genius, Giant Days (John Allison is a god), and a bunch of random things.

    I also have the complete Far Side collection on the shelf above these two (it wouldn't fit on a shorter shelf).

    Seriously, who ARE these guys? We lost all these dudes to free agency and injury... and here we fucking are.

    can you imagine what that smelled like after a day? 

    just think... someone had clean all that shit up. all the post mortem defecations... the flesh decaying rapidly in the humid tropical sun. The creepy crawlies feasting on carrion.
