    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.

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

    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.

    Totally Accurate Battlegrounds

    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.

    There really aren't that many "men" left and the future of mankind looks bleak.

    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.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

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

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

    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.

    MTG thread

    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...

    It's a very cool little car when done right. 250-275 hp would be perfect for something so small and lite.

    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...

    Yeah, or I eventually pass them at 126 decibels, hoping that sends the message.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yeah, I thought I had escaped the rampant retardation that was California drivers & highways when I moved to Texas. But, it still happens here too. Morons in the outside lane going under the limit or slower than the flow, NOT moving over. I'm pretty sure driver's ed stopped teaching people wtf...

    Far Cry 5

    Agreed. Only buy games during Steam Sales though. So, $15-$30 instead of $60. Just got Witcher 3 finally plus all expansions for $25, I think. Awesome game. It'll last me until something like FC5 is on sale for 50%.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yeah, the Demon is a lot more out of the gate and many dealers were trying to add an ADM on top to swindle some more profits. So, that particular model was over $100,000. Which, I think, is really stupid. It's not a $100k+ car. Hell (lol) it's not even really a $70k+ car. But, it a ton of fun...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    That's been around for decades. But, it's not $7,000. I have just about the least fuel efficient car in America - which I also bought in California, btw - and the GG tax was under $2,000. So yes, you're right that there are extra costs due to poor MPG (not just because it's a V8; many 6...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It's not elevation that determines octane requirements. It's compression ratio of the engine (which is determined by boost - turbos or superchargers - and intake/exhaust manifold designs, pressures, and air:fuel ratios). California only having 91 is due to politics and taxes. It's a shit state...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    No. Curious where you heard that nonsense from. @Hachima Love the M car. Been looking to get an M3 for a daily since I want to get back into something smaller and lighter, but I can't find a 6 speed anywhere that isn't gray or white. And I've been looking for a while.

    Toys R Us -- ruining a company is very lucrative

    Yes, this is pretty crappy but, not all financial services are "evil". That's like saying all doctors, lawyers, dentists etc are evil. Or all car dealerships. There will always be bad eggs or straight up pieces of shit. But, there's a whole lot of good that goes on around the world. This just...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Relying on third parties to make things happen, in order to close business. IE; two clients needing a letter of credit from US Bank in order to secure a loan. Fucking bank can't even do that right, in a timely fashion. It's what banks are supposed to do!!! We're three weeks into a process that...

    In November, we spent just under $7,000 for spinal surgery for one of our dogs. Burst disc. She's doing great now, but still has some tremors. Only 3 years old. They're family; the decision was an easy one for us. Your pup is a little older, but 6 years from now, would you regret the choice to...

    Justice League (2017)

    So, what you're saying is; if someone's eaten a raw squid covered in baby vomit and SJW turds and doesn't like it, they need to eat that same meal 2 or 3 more times to convince themselves they DO like it?
