Ginger is great for nausea. Maybe try eating some candied ginger shortly before, then a little more if you get nauseous?
Calm down there Panera.
Criminal prosecution and civil liability are different. If the criminal conviction also includes restitution (pay for the damages) then there likely wouldn't be a need for a civil suit, but it's possible that the suit is to go after additional damages. For example, the criminal conviction might include $1000 in restitution to cover the property damage, but the civil suit might ask for money to cover lost revenue for the time the car was out of service.
I used to be an insurance adjuster. Coverage for this is questionable and the damages would likely be under your deductible. This is a workmanship issue, so the J channel itself isn't covered. The (hopefully minimal) ensuing water damage would likely be covered, though. My main concern is water inside the wall saturating insulation and creating a mold issue.
If there was significant water inside the wall, the amount of covered damage could escalate to the point that it would be worth putting in a claim. Just know that coverage isn't as straightforward as the previous comment made it sound.
Take it a step further and turn that chicken into chicken salad and you have a delicious one step sandwich for lunch.

Now I'm imagining a butterfly blacksmith. I always love seeing swallowtails, they get so big!
That's exactly correct. The point that the wax could interfere with the measurement is only where the chain checker touches the chain. Waxed chains wear much slower than usual, though, so I wouldn't be too worried about it.
It's worth the extra work. I keep three chains in rotation and generally get about four weeks of riding out of each chain. That means I'm only having to get out the wax a few times a year.
My favorite part about it is that the chain is clean to touch. I don't have to carry gloves in my saddle bag in case I have to touch my chain, and I don't get black lines on my leg.
The biggest down side is the initial prep, but silca has some one step chain stripper that works great. You only have to do that once for the life of a chain, though, so it's really not that big of a deal.
The chain checker also spans ten links, but only touches one link. The very small layer will not throw off the reading.
The canyon has a 1 1/4" (1.25") steerer tube. This will make replacing the stem more difficult because almost all other brands use 1 1/8 (1.125"). Ritchey makes a stem for 1 1/4" steerer tubes if you get the canyon and need to replace the stem.
I'm also skeptical of the integrated seatpost clamp, but that's just a gut feeling rather than personal experience.
Also consider the kind of riding you really want to be doing. Are there even rougher trails you would like to get on if your bike could handle it? If so a hardtail mountain bike is worth considering.
I usually get a bowl, my partner gets tacos. The tacos are a much smaller serving of food. The last time we got Chipotle, both food containers weighed about the same. We haven't been back since, despite there being a location very close to where we live. Once before that the rice was visibly under cooked (it looks slightly more opaque). At this point it would take some "free food" coupons for me to bother with them again.
