Looks like I'm powering up on this thread.

http://www.nbcnews.com/entertainment...ver-6C10339683 It did $125 million, to be the biggest June opener in history. And all without a story. So now the next trilogy is guaranteed to be more of the same: non stop action.

Oh, when I was interviewing for grad school, the Dean asked me to apply the physics equation of water displacement. It was a complicated problem. Only I wasn't going to school for Physics, I was going for B-school. He was one of these guys who earned graduate degrees in Engineering, and then...

fixed that for you Wait, in this movie he actually has a personality.

I'd put this at 7/10. The tone was all wrong, Reeves nailed what the tone should be. Superman as dark and gritty makes no sense. Also, I love action movies, but this movie had more explosions than in Transformers 1, 2 and 3 combined. Michael Bay would be proud.

lol

Back during undergrad, I was going through the interviewing phase for Price Waterhouse (four rounds). My second round consisted of me sitting in one of the partner's hotel rooms and watch college football. He didn't ask me a thing about myself, since I went to a big college football team, all...

When I worked for someone, I didn't mind it. But I would limit the work to when I wanted to do it. I'd just tell the boss I had plans with the family, but I'd get to it later in the day. So I might do work at 5pm on a given day, after I was already good and bored. Now that I'm self employed...

It's pretty much accepted that if you are making six figures, don't expect a full vacation. At least that's how it was everywhere I've worked. As the saying goes, "There's no escaping voicemail." It's just the way of things. At that rate, they seem to think they can't run the business...

I never once got butthurt over having to pay $5 a month for coffee, I was working to move up in the company and get the real perks. At one point, I was driving around vehicles worth $60k, they paid my car insurance, gas, and maintenance. That ended up being like a $1,200 a month perk. You...

They bagged on Superman Returns for not enough action, and now this one has too much. Which is it?

55% on metacritic right now.

I never looked at that when I worked. The first place where I worked, we had no water cooler, and we all had to chip in and buy a coffee maker and have a coffee fund (that we paid for ourselves). Hell, when someone retired after 30 years of service, the company didn't buy them a gift, we all...

It's a crappy retail job, you'll be OK. When I was in college, my first Manager position was at an Amusement Park. I managed four or five restaurants. It was too much, I needed an assistant, and I was demoted to just someone in the restaurant. That was the last time I was demoted. When I...

Yup. The good thing is that it's a crappy retail job. There are plenty of crappy retail jobs to be had.

Yup. Especially when there is a union involved, they have to be extremely cautious. Because once you clear the probationary period, you have the full weight of the union behind you, and it may be impossible to release you later. I worked at a Big Three automaker, and once you were a full...

I'm playing Black Panther, and it does seem like playing him is a little twitchy. And in this game, you dodge hits, like you would in DCUO. It does break immersion with all of the Hawkeyes, Hulks and Iron Mans running around. This game is just a diversion, I don't think it's going to have...

I'm liking the game. So far, it's managed to hold my attention more than D3 did.

What kind of relationship do you have with your boss? It doesn't sound good.

None of these reasons should factor in to why you work somewhere.

I'm in on any league you guys form, and my in game name is Lyrical.

So, we are definitely picking up more work with me running estimates also. Only now I'm working in the business, instead of on it. But at least I don't have to worry about me stealing jobs from myself. I've noticed that I'm following the patterns of some of the douchebag bosses that I've had...

At least with Regulators, we actually beat all of the raid content before disbanding from boredom.

Having worked in sales at a Fortune 200 company, I saw guys like Pete all the time. They do one thing well, and that is sell. The rest of their lives are shambles. By the time these guys get to the end of their lives, they are alone, have kids that hate them, and are divorced several times...

We are sadists.

The ratings for last night were up 30% over last year's season ender, and the show drew the second highest numbers for any HBO for the season. http://variety.com/2013/tv/ratings/h...le-1200494715/

What a dick move you did by posting this. It's so obvious that this is going to happen on the show. If I had my sword hand cut off and had a dual wielding midget brother, I'd do the same.

Is there an endgame to this?

Get used to letters from the IRS and state governments on tax penalties. We border two states, and both states are constantly sending us imaginary bills. They are so hard up for tax money that they'll send you a letter saying you owe them $10k when you don't. So then you have to pay your CPA...

The problem is that fantasy has to be done right. No one wants to go see a low budget D&D movie, we all want LOTR. Who wants cheap looking CGI? Up until now, the studios probably saw the initial cash outlay as too high. But GoT is giving Sopranos a run for its money. My 70 year old parents...

http://www.vulture.com/2013/06/game-...ngs-chart.html So the show is pulling in Sopranos' like numbers now?

As has been said, pick someone that won't road rage or drive behind the wheel. Trust me on this, you don't want people calling you complaining about anyone's driving habits.

What a dick, he's not laughing with us, he's laughing at us.

I make sure I drove my car with the magnets to the country club every time we went. One time, I drove it, and a guy parked next to me that owned a large landscaping company (mowed lawns for corporate accounts), but couldn't do what I did. He asks me for a bid, and he's bought $8k of work from...

My trucks are all hand painted, I have vinyl stickers on my estimate car, and I had magnets on my personal driver (until they flew off on the highway).

I pick up $2-3k a week because every vehicle and truck I have is wrapped or painted. In some months, it's close to 20k. We've even had calls that I can tie to my personal driver (when I'm driving to the gym or dropping my daughter off at school). Believe it or not, wrapping generates calls...

Of all the things I could do, bus wrapping would be last. Of course, tracking numbers mean jackshit. Customers have an awareness of you, and then they go to the Internet or yellow pages to call. Like for my TV commercials, people say they call from something else (which is the last thing they...

I bet you are a devil worshipper.

He's trolling. You could send him a picture of Joffrey assraping Tenk's Dad, and he'd still say he's OK.

15k in approvals combined on Friday and Monday!
