I spoke to them, and they are only going to pay depreciated cost. But the reality is I pretty much spend 3k a month replacing parts. My one truck that is 110k would only fetch me 20k in case of complete disaster, but the reality is that it's rebuilt and like brand new. I'm trying to get out...

Keg, I don't give a shit. In another life, I consulted to hundreds of small and moderate sized businesses, and 100% of them dealt with waste (in this manner). The only owners I've ever met that didn't worry about this either have their heads buried in the sand, or have no employees. That...

No trolling in B&F. Contribute something of value or move on.

Anyone have any good tracker they can suggest? I've looked at two of them now, both with Iphone apps for realtime tracking. At the end of the day, when you have different teams all over the geography, they need to be monitored. A friend of mine owns a business with 30 vehicles, and catches...

The owner said that the estimate was that there'd only be 35k people at the parade. Oops.

I wonder what other teams think he's worth? And yeah, the Giants can't afford to lose him or Nicks.

Wow, that's a lot of people at the parade.

And 85+ for t4 raids. I have an alt who is 79 and couldn't get a spot in a t4 raid the other day.

I looked at a house we lived in NJ in the 80's. It was built in the 50's, has vinyl siding and orange shag carpeting, is 2500 square feet, and the market value is $880k LOL. I miss the East Coast, but not the cost of living. 250k buys you 3,000 square feet or more in the Midwest.

I've moved around a lot, and some realtors want to share 0 data. In retrospect, any realtor that won't share their data should be fired.

So they write him as losing control. It's been done before in the comics many times over. It could be as simple as having a side storyline where the Avengers fight the Leader, and the Hulk is exposed to one of the Leader's gamma ray experiments by accident, causing him to absorb more gamma...

Zillow has always been a great starting point. I've had a few realtors that tried to get me to pay way more than I wanted to - News Flash at 11. In my area, in the last few years, large homes have cratered. You could literally find some of those homes for 40%. And what does your realtor do...

I'm not sure what all the bagging is on Zillow, but as I've moved so much, it's helped me get a good feel on home prices. Hell, one time the Realtor tried to get me to pay way over what Zillow said, and it helped me negotiate. As with anything on the Internet, your mileage may vary.

No one has talked about schools (in #2)? In general, the better the schools, the more the property values will increase (or in this case, hold their value). It's like when we lived in Atlanta, you could get a cheap home, but the schools sucked, crime level was high, and property values didn't...

I've purposefully stayed away from historical accounts. Maybe they try to make us feel better about the deaths of our heroes by saying it spurred Caesar and Crassus to push for equality across Rome. And then they can still spring board into the next show. I'm just not a big fan of being...

There have been numerous articles talking about how politics at DC have made it tough to get anything greenlit. Apparently, there are two factions under two Execs that want to take over the studio, and if you are on one side, you aren't on the other. So you might have a great idea, and then...

When I first start dabbling in home theatre, my first HTIB was an Onkyo, and it would still probably kill soundbars now.

/thread. The tech just isn't there yet, despite what some salesperson working on commission tells you. Systems are better than they were, you can actually hear some directional sound, where a couple of years ago, you couldn't. And then the general quality is nowhere near as good. All you...

Oh no, some anonymous guy on the Internet that I would never associate with in real life doesn't like me. Irrelevant.

It is what it is. What I paid for my system doesn't invalidate my argument, it was a statement of fact, and not bragging. I'd much rather pay for a traditional setup then go the soundbar route, whether it's at the low, mid or high range of system setups. I have yet to hear a soundbar...

Wow, you are nerdier than I am. Congrats, and keep it up.

And yet, many of us have friends whose personalities totally change while on cycle, and then come back to normal when the cycle is over. Study or not, how many guys have you known that are usually mellow until they get on cycle, and then they become the biggest dicks? A few weeks after the...

And I feel like they are doing this to get us ready for the spin off, while trying to make us feel good about the deaths of Spartacus, Crixus and Gannicus. I'd rather see the villain of the show as the villain, and not as a hero. What's not to like about Crassus? He lives as honorably as the...

Voyager's writing seems to have gotten better halfway through season five. It's actually not so painful to watch now. I can't wait to get done, so I can rewatch DS9. It's been awhile.

Class envy much? The subject was traditional setup versus surround. Using a soundbar is necessary when you have weird shaped rooms, a point you missed in that post. That would be the only reason I'd get a soundbar. Other than that, why not go with a real system that has real power? There's...

Let's face it, the DC Execs are full on retard, and studio politics kills a lot of projects. Pretty much any moron could cut and paste Marvel's cartoon and movie strategy onto DC and make ten billion dollars.

I had a audio visual company just set up my new movie room, and they were trying to sell me a high end soundbar. Part of that is that I wanted to move to a room that is built like a great hall in my house. There were too many angles and cubbies to make it work, other than to buy a soundbar...

Soundbar tech still kind of sucks. I'll go with my 7.1 sound system until soundbar tech is perfect. I've got like a 7k sound system right now, and it's embedded in the walls, so it's not a big deal. I doubt I'd find a soundbar system that could match the quality I have right now. Also, you...

Yup, but I believe it was the second highest rated cartoon on TV, under Clone Wars. Apparently, 2 million viewers on a Saturday morning is nothing.

What's the difference?

LOL @ Apache Chief on Young Justice this morning

What does it say when my kids run around emulating Iron Man and don't even know who Superman is? Think about it, if you were born in the last seven years or so, all you know is Marvel characters. A friend of mine turned me on to a Metallica song I hadn't heard. I was playing it on my PC...

If you banged a holographic hooker on the holodeck, and deactivated the safety protocols, could you catch HIV?

I'd love a Black Panther movie series done right. I wonder if Marvel would change his name, since the Black Panther Party has politicized his name.

Did you guys know there is a Founder's program? 'Cause I just got another email on it.

Home Turf DLC Pack Now Available! Player Bases Legendary members and owners of Home Turf receive two Lair Themes: "Gothic" and "Deco", and a Theme for a smaller, limited "Dive" Hideout available in the Dispenser. Look for "Home is Where Your Base Is" in your Mission Journal. Complete...

Based on those prices, I'd definitely love more info.

I'll do my own mailers. Between computers and Zillow, I can target homes just as well as they can. It used to be that you'd have to pay companies to do that, but nowadays, pretty much anyone with a brain and some time can do them. Thanks though.

The problem with door to door is getting someone that will reliably drop them off. At times, when we are slower, we drop door hangers in targeted neighborhoods. But that's just too much maintenance and manpower involved doing this full time. I have toyed with the idea of doing direct...

Anyone doing the new DLC, Home Turf yet? I've talked to my old leaguemates on the phone that said it's got people reupping their subs. I guess the gear is an improvement over t4 (it was cr 71, this stuff is cr 74). I may check it out. The only problem is that t5 is just around the corner, so...
