It’s a piece of poster board which is pretty much like cardstock. You can usually find some at the stationary section in a lot of stores in the US.

Meanwhile my sister’s fiancee drank the whole pitcher and is back working there totally believing Elon is some super genius and that the cars are capable of full self-driving. (I really have to bite my tongue when listening to him)
My camry can self-drive too, same outcome. (just off a cliff, rather than in front of a train)

Easy there, tiger. 1/3 incorrect.
I wasn’t going to explain all of the health effects, aside from an irritant, that the “!” could indicate, especially when the general rule of thumb is to go over the SDS when you see the symbol. The second symbol is definitely for indicating a hazard to aquatic life.
The “G” in the third was confused with a “Q”, given the printer resolution. I wasn’t sure, so I used more relative wording for saying what it looked like on my screen.

The exclamation can mean that it’s an irritant. It could also be other potential health concerns.
Try not to be too quick when trying to correct someone next time, especially when you are only half right
- Comment on Both drive by wire and conventional throttle bodies are controlled by a wire. 1 month ago:
Throttle by wire.
The fuel is never really actively controlled by the user, more by its relation to the amount of air going into the intake.
- Comment on Both drive by wire and conventional throttle bodies are controlled by a wire. 1 month ago:
Both are technically cables though. One, a power cable, the other a steel cable.

The first is a standard warning symbol, telling you to read the warnings.
The middle looks to imply that it’s harmful to aquatic life; so no flushing, (upside-down fish and a piece of coral)
Third one seems to be dosage frequency, but saying a symbol isn’t available. (QHS = taken every night)

Their system screwed up an auto-payment which they eventually fixed. They however left the delinquency mark on my account (they only corrected the notice sent to the credit bureaus), so any purchases had to be paid within 30 days.
Couldn’t and close out and delete my account fast enough.

You might be overlooking the undertone of sarcasm in the complaints. No one is actually truly mad or anything, more humorously cynical of it.
I think most of it stems from how half-assed the censorship usually is along with the relative pointlessness considering how common explicit words are on the internet

Going by the writing on the wall, it’s for a 3-way dimmer switch. It also is likely the picture was taken during its install and not from someone trying to find a stud

- Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why 2 months ago:
That chronological duration is more of an estimate based on how much the “average” car may be driven and is just to give someone an idea of the frequency.
The standard for cars built for synthetic (“conventional” cars may have a bit more susceptibility to contamination, so they normally have shorter durations) usually usually go for 10-15k miles (~16-24k km). So going 30-45k miles in a year isn’t really unheard of. (Some cars are much less, while others like company cars/taxis can be more than double)

Try with a different/new cable.
The contacts on a USB-C cable can become fatigued and lose the tension needed to maintain a solid connection, which can cause this issue.

It might be by locale. I live a couple blocks from a high school and I’m seeing the opposite. Kids are wearing baggier and baggier jeans, some even near JNCO style.
- Comment on Boys and beans and... 2 months ago:
Meme:
why did boys stop wearing jeans like this??
My answer:
I just saw a high schooler wearing black ones when grabbing something to eat at the store.
(I.E. They are still wearing them, and in different colors)
