    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Portland strip clubs are where it's at, no cover, cheap drinks and heavily tattooed women. I've never spent more than 100 bucks in a strip club, usually I can walk in with40 and last through a couple rounds of drinks and dollar a dance. Lap dances are not my thing, my days of high school dry...

    I think this is proof that Mist is an actual woman. Bitching just to bitch, even though she knows the solution, she refuses to act.

    Car Buying Help

    9 times out of ten those grill guards that people mount to their cars are purely cosmetic too, a couple small 10mm bolts through the fenders and front bumper is all that holds it on. I know I installed one on a land Rover last month that didn't fit quite right so I bent it by hand.

    Car Buying Help

    Depends on how the manufacturers design their cars, less to do with total weight and more to do with crumple zones and shit. Sure your car might get more fucked in the accident but you'll walk away from it unscathed. Hondas and Toyota just fold up around the cabin buy the cabin is fine. I...

    I can't stand how large pickups are becoming, we have a Ford f150 in the shop right now and it's the size of a f350 from 10 years ago. Tacomas are freaking massive now too.

    I'm well aware of that, I'm just in a really good spot (ten minute bike ride from the house, downtown location, 2 weeks vacation). I lIke all the people in the shop, plenty of work but i just have massive issues with the owner so I've finally decided that I need to change jobs cause obviously...

    What do you do?

    So I'm currently looking into switching shops. We run a 3 tech set up at my current shop and about a month ago, another tech got put out on workers comp, if I quit there will only be one tech. Trying not to screw them over but I'm not interested in staying at the shop no matter the raise they...

    My thoughts exactly, heard about this earlier and laughed, I wouldn't be surprised if more companies get found doing this.

    I like that layout on the side that shows mph, grade and all that other stuff. I really have no need for a camera/Garmin though, ever since I lost my go pro I've been over gadgetry.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    Well they are pushing for 15/hour out here so it's the number in my head. I do think it should be around 10 nation wide though and still does nothing to address my concerns over the people who make bad life choices. People care what others make, just hire a new guy who starts higher than...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    And when the minimum wage goes up to fifteen , then you'll have to pay 20 an hour for a non retarded worker because like you saod, no one worth a shit will work for minimum wage.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    I'm only able to speak from experience but my industry deals with a good amount of near min wage hires usually we hire about 1 to 3 dollars above min wage for entry and most competent people, move up within a year to a better role. Its just the career min wage employees that never seem to...

    Or they drink on the job, refuse to learn job tasks that would promote them, show up late and go home early, bitch when it gets busy and they actually have to work. These are all the things our lowest paid worker does who makes roughly 1 dollar over OR min wage. Oh and they promised to...

    My girlfriend used to give me a hard time about being on my phone the whole time she watched TV until I told her that if she quit putting such terrible shows on, I wouldn't need to distract myself. Now she still makes me watch some of her shows but the garbage ones she watches on her own time.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I go very long times without vomiting, I think I forced something out last year once and before that was like 2005 or 2006 when I drank too much and decided to take a handful of vicodin. My Jimmie are currently rustled because Portland rent is getting retarded, it goes up 50 to 75 bucks...

    Put me down as another person who drinks coffee black, though sometimes Ill have a splash of cream. I will drink energy drinks on a hot day though, I usually start my day with coffee but when it's 90 degrees out and I just rode my bike into work, I'm not chugging down a cup of hot coffee.

    From what we were told, they won't give out conventional home loans or first time home buyer loans since you can't appraise a home that hasn't been built. After you've lived there for a year you can then refi and get a conventional home loan but the initial loan is a pita.

    Yeah, fenders are a must for any rain but still in the PNW, you need rain gear along with it. For commuting I'm pretty biased towards jackets with hoods since you'll also be waiting for the bus/going to the bar. Maybe look at the Columbia, north face, NAU, Patagonia jackets? My advice is...
