There's a hydraulic oil leak right in the upper middle of the frame, aerosolized oil spraying all over the ceiling and falling on hot equipment and igniting. It's like a grease fire on steroids.

Why not all three?

Wall framing question: stud spacing between openings
Personally I would include it just so that the next homeowner doesn't curse you when they go to drill something into an expected stud that isn't there.

You probably don't remember these but I have a question
Seperate from the FM transmitters that other people have mentioned, you can install an FM modulator into your car. This is a box that goes behind your stereo, feeds power off the stereo power supply, and connects directly to the antenna wire to supply the frequency modulated sound signal directly to the antenna without traveling through the air. Similar to an FM transmitter, it has a headphone wire that plugs into the headphone outlet of your ipod for the audio signal. It can bypass the interference problem that FM transmitters run into, but the one I installed back in the day actually picked up engine revving noise from my alternator, so maybe it needed better wire shielding. Obviously this requires taking out your stereo and doing some wiring work so you need some tinkering skills or have it installed by a pro.
The reason the USB plug on your ipod doesn't work is that earlier audio devices like the original ipod didn't have a way to transmit audio digitally over USB, it was only used for charging and file transfer.

It's a flexible coupling for a drive shaft. It probably does show up on stepper motors for 3d printers. It's used to allow for some misalignment between the motor and the rest of the drive assembly so there isn't any damage to the motor bearings or binding of the shaft.
