Been a diabetic for 38 years and an infection will do it every time. I get a sinus infecton nearly yearly. But just to put your blood sugar into perspective. I had to have mass steroid infusions 5 days in a row. They debated if it would be too much on my blood sugar. Dr. said the alternative was...

Yup there are shorts and shirts there for $14 each that you could play on nearly any course in the country and the shirts are pretty comfortable if you are out doing something else.

Where are you golfing? One country club I belong to doesn't allow shorts period on the golf course and this is the deep south (welcome to the poorest state in the union). Cargo shorts would really be a no no in my opinion in a business deal and I really only see them on the public courses, and...

Wow test is dead. A dozen people in the bazaar.

Well that sucks. I logged in my main account today, as ranger. Went to log in my shaman and no password. I gave it to someone from the FoH boards and when they gave it back they PM'd me the new password. Well that was a totally epic study idea since FoH disappeared.

No shit I have a 1-1/2 hour commute each way. BUt they would have to make a truck version and put normal controls on it. I can't imagine a refinery, chemical plant, or nuke plant allowing me sit there and have a self driving car tool me around on site.

I disagree, that's what lead to the entire multi box, solo, and merc dela to begin with. People rather struggle by on their own than deal with a shit group.

You realise you're not entitled to X job. If you don't like it, move on to another one.

Depends on the region. Small lots here are really popular for certain types of vehicles. You see lots of them with only trucks on the lot here. I never really see cars. Guys pick up a used truck for driving to work, they want one semi reliable and don't care what it looks like since the paint...

Dumb question, but livig in a very rural area how is a self driving car going to manauever in places where there is no defined road etc...? I guess commuting self driving cars would be OK. Wouldn't be worth a damn in a truck I think.

I was actually in town visiting my parents when my dad said they had an ad in the paper. They didn't know I was looking to get a full time permanent job. This was the ad in the paper (and linkedin but I had never looked) structural steel detailing layout/design estimating project...

Well they call it a bonus but it's not really based on profit or anything like that. Basically it's how much effort you put forth in the year. The guy I replaced made 20%, but he pretty much ended his career and retired early when he found out how much the general manager made and his was a LOT...

I hung it up Friday. Didn't even ask for two weeks pay or give two weeks notice. I just told them I couldn't commute to town any longer and I wasn't move to town. Of course we got our yearly bonus Friday which was approximately 40% of my gross regular salary as it is every year. They called this...

Yeah me too. But I hate to tell you along the gulf coast, NJ, and the state of WA and probably lots of other places in my industry it was regular industry practice where I have visited for work. If you worked in the refinery industry (and the chemical plant industry along the gulf coast as...

Why? You basically quit when you give your two weeks notice. Why should there be a law that you keep gettig paid after you quit?

It's standard practice in our entire industry and has been that way since I got into it 25 years ago. Some people who work in management get to give notice and get a two week check or whatever. If your not upper management you're done for the day and they mail you a check. I don't know what...

It's pretty standard procedure here. You give notice you're done for the day. You get a check to the minute you gave notice and that's it.

I'm a speeding redneck, and I doubt it.

I go and pick up macaorni and spill it and laugh when they can't get the scooter to go over it.

Because if you ask for X sanwich they ask if you want the meal. It's a no win situation.

I still don't know why we can't have the death penalty for minors. If they want to spice it up or make it more entertaining they could have the person who does the injection dress up as slenderman (whoever that is) and do it. Then he would be real.

Good luck with that. From what I have seen it's like a combination of the mob and a union which is why they used to all be closed on Monday if you are old enough to remember that.

12% are black and I'm gonna guess your chance of being born in the US as Mexican is pretty low compared to being born in Mexico and coming to the US. 25 years ago I knew a fair number of Mexicans who were born here, now it seems that 90% are wetbacks.

I guess I didn't/don't. I bought my last 2 new trucks at a dealer that has 20 trucks on the lot and 1 car in the showroom. The salesman is also the owner/finance manager and the only other office employee is a receoptionist. They ran an ad in the paper for my truck and it was $24k something on a...

How many accidents do you have to have to make your insurance $200/month?

I applied for a loan earlier this year for some land etc...The lady at the bank who did my paperwork provided me a copy of my credit score but I'm not sure which one it was. I'm sure they did a full credit report as well but she forwarded the score to me just because I was curious and I've never...

That's why I pick where I live based on the district attorney to some degree. The AG will have the largest impact if you run into similar situations. A guy here shot someone in the back who was running away and was unarmed. The person he shot had been sought by police for a few weeks. Not only...

I drive a truck that gets 15 mpg 90 miles each way to work every day. It's comfortable and at least once every few months I save myself a shitload of time by jus jumping a median or cutting across it on the interstate when there's been a wreck.

I guess Monday I'm walking away from a job that puts me in probably the top 5% here with great benefits to find a job that pays probably 1/10th what this one does becuase I can't stand living in the city any longer.

That's why I support the death penalty for minors. Get it over with now.

The shooter or the 1/3 of a guy? Dunno but NY is damn near a gun free state now. Just read an article today about politicans bitching about Remington leaving their state and taking the jobs to a pro 2A one.

Apparently students at a university in Seattle aren't smart enough to read the no gun signs in the gun free zone.

Yeah it was basically like a phone book. You could get one off of ebay for nostalgia sake but they only seem to go back to 1990. I clicked on one from 1990 and it said 700+ pages.

Born in '71 and graduated HS in '89 and apparently I didn't watch near as much TV as the average kid in the '80's. Anyway I did own computers. I remember similar type ads and prices. Hard drives were often referred to as winchester drives. I remember this VERY well. I spent...

Grammar nazi.

Yes, because people who currently make $15 or slightly higher are going to be happy to work their ass off for what people who flip burgers make.
