I will be in need of new tyres in the not to distant future. The first CT (a strict roadworthyness test similar to the british MOT (but more stringent) and unknown in America) is due in October. It's possible that Nokian will get fitted but more likely Michelin or Pirelli

I love Red Death. Despite his appearance, he's a friendly and pleasant every day man. But that one night a year (pre-Council), he shows his red skull and being called Red Death are both great for him.
Phantom Limb is funny. Doctor Orpheus is very funny (what I love about him as a character, however, I would hate in a real person). Hunter Gathers is definitely a character. Doctor Girlfriend, she's another character I like (and I've known a few long time, chain smoking females with wrecked voices like hers from it - one of them thinks she actually sounds awesome when she sings even though she sounds like Yoda with bad strep throat). Hatred is probably the only character I don't really like much.
But 21 I love, and his being a giant nerd of a teddy bear.

No doubting that one, given it's the "base spoof." But the rest of it, like James Bond; Kraftwerk; Star Wars; Star Trek; Dune; Mars, the Bringer of War, probably most of that show I'd imagine requires being a huge nerd or just having been born during the right times to catch on to all that stuff than anything else. Or it's just a scene that anyone can get, like Mol's chastity belt and Brock having to go take care of something.

It actually all depends on what's going on. Is it being filled? The glass is half full. Drinking from it? Then it's half empty? Don't know? Half volume.

We don't have tread tests here, but it's still against the law in many places to drive with worn treads on your tire. But they're never checked for general use (they are for a ride share inspection). It really does need to happen.
Its not just tyres,its the complete safety aspect of the car. tyres, tread depth and damaged, wheels checked for damage, joints are all serviceable and not worn, engine and suspension mounting points, engine emissions, fluid leaks, brakes, steering, glass is not cracked and not obscured, seat belts.. etc, etc.
At least in france the test is every 2 years, in the UK it must be done every year.

Certain states check engine emissions. Brakes, steering, windows, seat belts, horn, lights (turn signal, brake, etc), doors, speedometer, exhaust and emergency brake is checked for rideshare.
Yes, those bits you mentioned i forgot about, i think the french test is around 144 points to check.
Its a pain but really should be done for every car

The rideshare inspection has 19 individual points.
Some of them look a bit drunk.
