Pressure frying is a relatively new thing. Col Sanders came up with that 20 years into his chicken cooking carrier. The breading was first.

What the GP describes was called the invisible A-pillar and was SOP for decades.

A smaller pillar could do the job just fine. But it could not be stamped and folded out of cheap sheet metal.

Agreed; but good luck with that.

These are the same companies that make 11 second cars; but never put 11 second NHRA cages into them. So fast it's street legal, but not track legal because it's too unsafe.

I have long dreamed of inventing a new crime.

God damn computer fraud and abuse act makes anything a federal judge doesn't like retroactively illegal.

The colonels secret recipe: Take 7 seas italian dressing mix, put in blender and powder. Add to flour used in breading chicken. Flour, egg wash, flour. Let sit for 10-15 minutes for breading to set. Fry chicken.

Even better, you get to entertain those around you. They all love it.

Mmmmmm. Northern Lights, Purple Urkel, Chocolate Kush, Silver Haze, Ozark mountain Retardo, Trainwreck.

In that order. With a small course of food and a nice drink between rounds. Trainwreck on the couch.

I recently visited the lookout tower in germany built by my great, great grandfather. He put a bronze of his head up with his name, profession, hometown and date of construction. It's a cell tower now.

Building monuments to yourself looks very strange to American eyes. But places are different and times change. Perhaps it was advertisment. Germans still like to just give their small businesses their names (e.g. 'HornWumpus Troll Service')

They weren't tricked. There is no surgery to fix man hands. Just closet cases.

There's legally insane. That's decided in court.

Then there is insane and unsane. Been a long time since I took psych, IIRC insane means you can't deal, unsane means you're nuts, but your bills mostly get paid.

Based on that standard I'd put the line between unsane and insane at if the heshe was paying for it's own insurance and out of pocket costs.

Honk! I'm about to do something blitheringly stupid! Honk!

I just changed lanes so now I'm putting on the blinker for a second.

Some of the best my ass. Granting there are many contenders for worst. Florida has some epic bad drivers. So does Oregon. Minnesota old folks learns some insane driving habits. Left turns from right lanes were apparently normal back when they all wore onions tied to their belts.

In my experience they don't put double yellow lines where there is 'plenty of vision', but I'm not from Boston where they simply assume if they get into a bad spot everybody will stop for their dumb asses.

Nobody builds 'Tornado proof' buildings. They build Tornado shelters into the building. The shelter is intended to keep you alive.

There are a very few exceptions.

Fair enough. Get your house up to current electrical codes. Now.

His insurance company should demonstrate in a concrete way that it is _more_ expensive to not bring his structure up to current code. With rates based on which years code his building complies with.

Agree with everything you say. Except the 'worlds worst drivers' part. America's worst drivers are in Boston. The world's worst drivers are in Mumbai.
