    The Metal Thread

    Probably should have hung it up a decade ago. Megadeth was my first show, in '99. Marty Friedman and Dave signed my copy of Cryptic Writings. I still wish I had brought a better album. Saw them with Amon Amarth in Wisconsin like a decade ago and I couldn't even sit thru their show. It was...

    99% of my LinkedIn interactions go like this. "Hey are you interested in this gig?" "Is the pay gonna be worth my time?" "No" Why are we talking then?

    That's what I ultimately decided too. I'll see if the local hardware store has any of that shit before I order them online.

    As Kirun said, my pallet jacks are 1500lbs (3500 fully loaded) and my forklifts are 14,000lbs (18,000lbs fully loaded). You cannot have impaired employees doing that work, they can kill themselves or others. As soon as we notice the impairment, we pull them off of equipment and sit down and...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This I was sleeping on my sister's couch, 50k in debt, paying all the bills, and I had a domestic charge I was currently fighting. I had way less than you, and I'd still get a lawyer again. Get a fucking lawyer, or spend the rest of your life wishing you had

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    My 401k has a 9.5% rate of return this year. SPLG is up 18.6% in the last year. I was thinking about increasing my 401k contribution but it's fuckin pointless to contribute beyond the match to that horseshit plan that they've charged me $30 this year so far. Every time a financial fuckwad at...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    Really? I fully plan on taking all 401ks I ever have from now on and rolling them into the IRA I control. The return I get on just having everything in SPLG is completely incomparable to the "managed" plan I pay for the privilege of having at my employer.

    Chess

    Both. What is better depends on your situation. Chess.com has a shitload of cheaters that they don't do much about. They seem to be getting worse about enforcement lately too. When I started playing again a few years ago, I wouldn't go a week without getting rating back from banning cheaters...

    I went with bench legs, because they were the same height, but less artsy. Came with screws, but is it worth it getting those threaded inserts to attach to? I assume it's probably worth spending the money on that shit for a superior attachment point.

    3-0 again this week. My OTB record is now 8-0-1. (8-1-0? I'm not sure what format chess uses. Now that I think about it, maybe that - 8 wins 1 draw 0 losses). First game against a gal rated 1066. Got to play the Caro Kann - haven't played anyone OTB who's opened with E4 yet. My win rate in...

    I couldn't spend 50k a month if I tried. I'd have a baller month and still have like 32k left. It's why I like these boards - literally all walks of life. Everything from the degenerate welfare weebs to the degenerate rich, and all the degenerates in between!

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    So, it's really only 50/50 if you make the judge decide it. You don't have to do that. In my situation, my ex had run up about 50k in credit card debt, which I then transferred to my credit cards because they kept getting canceled and the interest rates were insane and she was too stupid to...

    My favorite saying I've heard from watching chess videos is "secret grandmaster move - knights move backwards." Retreating Knight moves are some of the hardest moves for people to see/play.

    Someone's job hunting, just not me. Just had to fire my best employee because she decided to come into work drunk. I guess technically she quit because she refused to get tested. Real mean drunk too, judging from the ride home.

    Well, this finish turned out way better than I had expected. Looks fucking amazing. Note to self - start on the bottom of the piece, so when you flip it over and get runs/globs, they're on the bottom and no one will care anyway

    I got divorced a little less than 7 years ago. Ended up 100k in debt, between paying out equity and absorbing her fucking credit card debt. She thankfully ended up keeping her student loans (which she tried to pawn off on me as well, but I told her if they were a marital debt, then her degree...

    Yeah, I'm about done with it. Maybe one more coat - but it gets very glossy with 3. You can see 3 coats on the on the last quarter of the second slab. I don't hate the legs, but I'm looking for more options before I pick one. This is going to go to my buddy a couple hours away - that way I...

    I am looking for coffee table legs - that's what this will be. I think probably metal - something I can just screw into the bottom and be done with quick. I found this site and there's a few options here. Anyone ever know or seen any other options? This is a little too "modern artsy" for my...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Just gonna toss this out there - Ozzy's book is a fantastic read. An example is the foreward where he says, paraphrased "I've done a LOT of drugs. The stories in this book are correct to the best of my memory. But if someone tells you differently, believe them."
