Who is it? Laying under the white honda with only the floor jack holding it up?

If thats the picture I said the same thing about, the jack stand is just hard to see.

Look to the left of his ass.

Yeah, he's right beside it. I'd prefer to see another up front through.

There may be another under the rear suspension. I use 2 stands and a jack just touching a lift point. All weight should lie on those stands and the jack should be a backup. Thats how its done on my driveway.

Yep, there's a jackstand hiding in plain sight.

Judging by the height of the rear wheel versus the front, I'd say you're right.

I thought of this: Looks rather unsafe to me.

Could have been about stealing a swing-axle car while self-pleasuring

The world needs less safety police. How did we ever make it this far without them?

why has no one pointed out that we can't see if this person is wearing the proper eye protection and whether or not their health insurance premiums are paid up in case something happens?

I thought it was about malware.

My work computer got infected with something nasty, Google searches are redirected. The registry looks clean and there's nothing obvious like the browser being sent to a fake DNS server or a proxy server or even a simple .hosts entry. Malware clean-up software shows nothing. Looks like a rootkit, have something that may clean it up BUT the computers are all on admin passwords for any software installation, and the only person who has the password is away this week for training, so...
