It is the same idea as people who press parts of a car and bitch that the metal ‘bends’. The strength and energy absorption is designed into the necessary areas. Making the roof so strong someone can climb on it just makes the car heavy

All the same it’s kind fun having crazy tough things to abuse

What I think is marvellous, is the way the US address problems. Like customer puts full plate of food in dishwasher. Fit dishwasher with macerator

These solutions usually involve beefing things up! Rather than any kind of recourse to operator education

Food ‘recycling’ is encouraged now

I’ve never imagined a macerator in a dishwasher!

I’m admiring the rise on the Yorkshire pudding

That’s a strong roof. A man of his ‘stature’ couldn’t do that on a modern car 🚙

I like Dr Pepper. Perhaps they should claim Easter? I don’t know what the link would be. That would be for the professional marketers.

Is a vetonline like a valentine 💘

If so I’m assuming it’s like a valentine from a rap singer?

I think it when I walk past the dreary cars. They take what could be a sleek and clean design, and turn it into death of soul, by being ruthlessly stark

And I don’t think the poor panel fit counts as Wabi-sabi
