    Excellent. I might have to follow those footsteps. I'm currently grounded right behind the HVAC panel. So, I just need to shuffle the positive.

    But then I think I’m a yes too because so many of my contributions to the thread have been shit. Can we toss some short essay prompts in there so I can have a fighting chance?

    No. And @Hobbs will chime in too. I am betting he goes no from his hammock.

    It's a work in progress. See my build thread.
    I did discover that there is a small bit of plastic that looks out of place, and that if you slide the cover on at an angle to accommodate that plastic, it fits better. I will likely just slice the offending bit of plastic with a razor blade when (if?) I actually do the install.

    Since the beginning of time, people have used handles for many different things. According to Wikipedia, “a handle is a part of, or attachment to, an object that allows it to be grasped and manipulated by hand.” KTJO4x4 makes “OEM” grab handles for Toyota Tacomas. Some argue that these handles are bullshit and return them in order to provide KTJO restocking fee capital. Others keep their KTJO handles but feel a deep sense of ennui. Many people on the popular truck forum Tacomaworld use memes to discuss their and others’ grab handles. All of these things align with Marcus Aurelius’s epigram that “everything that happens, happens as it should.” Professor, I really, really need an “A” in this class. I really enjoyed the class too, and you’re kind of cool sometimes, even when you make those dad jokes!

    Sorry, but that's a B+. I will grant extra credit if the pupil updates the wikipedia entry to fully inform the greater populace of the KTJO 4x4 shitstorm?

    I'm sorry son, but this is Chem 103. I have no idea what a handle has to do with it, but your assignment was to determine the concentrations of the 3 different hydrochloric acid samples.
