    One of my employees coughing every 12-20 seconds. ALL DAY. GTFO if you're sick....

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    $280,000 in business lost this week due to clueless and ignorant clients. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

    Make your tenant pay for that. The box specifically states "do not fucking flush".

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    If I had to guess, I would say a good 25% of drivers are incapable of keeping their foot on the brake pedal to keep the car from moving, when at a light. Is the pedal too difficult to press? Does everyone have nerve damage and twitch all the time? WTF... The other day I sat in my car and...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Break in procedures are bogus. Drive the car like you normally would as long as the engine and trans are warmed up first. Only advice is not to launch the car hard or slam gears during the first 1,000. But, that's to ensure the trans/diff are OK. Also, engine break a bunch early on.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    You're doing it wrong. You need to daily drive it, have the exhaust in loud mode, and take it to redline at least once per day. Otherwise, you have no business owning it, hahaha. They are wonderful cars. So much character. My HC had a nail in the right rear tire a few months ago. It was 3...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    That Land Cruiser will last you 250k-300k miles with just regular maintainence. Would love to get one as a daily for my wife. But...I might get an SRT Jeep or Durango instead because they're silly. Selling the Hellcat now. Got an M4 to get to work and back and I'm trying to decide on a project...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Interesting topic, Kiroy. The wife and I have been talking about something like this for the past year. It's still 12-15 years off, when we're done in the corporate world, but we want a dozen or two acres in: Tennessee, Georgia, or the Carolinas so we can have chickens, goats, horses, and dogs...

    Home Improvement

    Well, shit. Yet another reason we're glad we didn't buy this time around (First reason is the flooding, since we're in Houston). Depending on where you are, I'm almost tempted to offer help, but it's fucking summer in Texas, hahaha.

    Warhammer 40k

    I've enjoyed ALL of Abnett's books. He doesn't do space marines like a lot of the other authors, but he's a much better writer and his characters are much more interesting (their human, essentially). Try to find: Eisenhorn Omnibus, Ravenor Omnibus, Gaunt's Ghost's series. Eisenhorn and Ravenor...

    LOL JK. Every primarch that was dead is now back. Just because.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Hmm, guess you're right. I just had the colonoscopy and it required 28 hours of fasting, plus drinking that god-awful mixture, then being put under. Aside from the drink you have to take, it was fine.

    Actually, you'll be asleep for the procedure and they'll use a tiny camera on a wire. But, I gotcha bro.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    OK, perhaps you haven't actually had your medical history looked into. I happen to be in life insurance, investments, and health/LTC. I run a 34 person marketing firm. Apnea can be a straight up decline for most people and IF you use your CPAP, then you can get coverage at a higher cost. But...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    No thanks, wouldn't want that in my medical records. Makes it really hard to get life insurance and some health/LTC.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Shit son. If I'm gone 2 DAYS I have too many emails and it's a shit-storm of stress to play catch up. You may just have to say "fuck it" to anything older than a week and start from there.

    Battlefield V

    I guess I've gotten to the point where I'm just tired of 90% of games being about killing. I used to be really good at FPSs too. It does look really cool, but I don't think I'm the demographic anymore.

    Surgery to fix: deviated septum, inferior turbinate, and collapsed cartilage in my nose. NOT bouncing back from this one. I feel like a whiney little kid I'm so uncomfortable.

    Hey, it could look goofy as all hell, but as long as the physics are solid as hell and it's smooth, it'll be fun.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yup, that's the whole point. I don't care if I'm slower 0-60, I want to enjoy the drive. But, there are so few cars left that can be had with a manual and it's sad. IF the Mercedes AMG GT had one, for instance, it would be awesome. I think the new Vantage will have the option in a year or two...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    There are already commercials for 15-20% off MSRP on GM trucks and SUVs. And these are manufacturer commercials, not rando_dealer_547. Their business model makes no sense some times.

    Ultimatums will never work out. If you have opposing opinions about something that important, the relationship is already off track. If you give in, you will be very unhappy and the marriage will break up eventually. If she gives in, she'll be very unhappy and the marriage will also eventually...

    Dealing with insurance companies (and I'm in the insurance industry). Fuuuuuucking pain. Everything moves at the speed of a glacier.

    Boot disc so I could play MechWarrior 2 and Tie Fighter. God, I don't even remember the computer's specs. But, it was an IBM of some type. I'm pretty sure my computers today collectively cost less and could fly me to Jupiter.

    Gotcha. Makes sense now. I think I'm just wired to build decks a certain way and it's got nothing to do with winning tournaments. All of my play is casual and fun and I like themes and synergies. Appreciate the insight.

    MTG thread

    You have a legendary who buffs angels, but you have no other angels. You have the saga that buffs Knights, but no other knights. Are you just relying on counters to keep the board clear and having one or two (ballista?) damage dealers?

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Millions of people buy sedans every year. Just not the American ones, because they aren't nearly as good as European or Japanese/Korean. You're right though, when it comes to domestic brand purchases, the SUV or Truck is more popular. In America.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Do it. Won't hurt anything and will be more comfortable. Won't have restrictions on tint % either, since it's not a safety factor for a police officer being able to see you.

    I don't want to be racist, but; it's because he's a lazy, entitled piece of shit that expects to get something for nothing and it's perpetuated by his culture and by society. Obviously, NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE THAT. But, millions are. Fucking....millions.... Get the fucker fired and keep your gun...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Well, as a car lover, I'd tell you it's hideous and soul-sucking and the antithesis of everything I love about cars. However, as a financial advisor (which I am) I'd tell you that it sounds like a smart move for your daily commute. You save on the monthly payment, which is smart all around...

    Witcher 3

    I went fast attack and pure combat and I just hit lvl 20 at about that many hours played - I still use Igni or Ard or the trap one for the effects, but not the damage. Only sign I upgraded was the one for dialogue - Finished Novigrad Saturday. I made a point to do a bunch of side quests (because...
