    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Both times I was backed into (or so it seems) and the doors were pushed in pretty bad. The outer part of the door along with the hardware was replaced. Each was about $1,400 per door, but my deductible was $500 per incident. So, I was out of pocket a grand, instead of almost 3.

    I feel ya Troll. I've had a car hit in a parking lot; twice. Out of pocket for that bullshit.

    DOTA 2

    Is Valve going to limit tickets purchased per transaction, or do we just have to hope we can beat people running bots?

    Bring car in to get oil topped off (it burns oil with 20,000 miles, go figure. At least it's free). Walk around while waiting. Salesman "oh, you want to buy a new car?" Won't leave me alone. Actually order new car. Assholes.

    First World Problems

    I know all of those things. It's my job to save people money on taxes, create a retirement, and leave a legacy to family. I think your numbers may be off, however. $90k/yr is the 35% bracket here, not 17% (of course, states matter, so perhaps for you it's 17%, but it would still be 28% federal)...

    You think taxes will be lower when we're older? They are at historically low levels now and can only go up. When it's time to retire you don't have kids as a write-off and a lot of people don't have home payments to write-off like they used to; overall tax bracket is equal or higher in many...

    Despite what America "knows" or has been taught, tax-deferred investments aren't a great idea. They benefit the gov't, not the retiree. If you can get a match in something, contribute up to that match, but otherwise, pay taxes now and put it into something that'll be tax-free when you access...

    First World Problems

    Not quite. I have a sensible, fuel efficient daily driver that I want to be cheap and economical and I have a fun car with crazy power and crap MPG (achieved 8mpg one day in the canyons) with many more of both kinds going into the future. I don't dislike the idea of full electric cars. But, I...

    First World Problems

    Could be, but over all it's a cheaper proposition if you're going to turn over your cars more frequently. I'd love for electric, hydrogen, and hybrid cars to get more efficient and cost effective (diesel too). That way, I could get access to petrol at a more reasonable price, for longer, for...

    Titanfall

    Gotcha, thanks. You think there will be a Titanfall 2? Were the box sales enough to make this a financial success? I haven't heard a single thing about it's longevity. Even friends who got it were done within a few weeks.

    Except when the battery packs die, which they will. And, will cost about as much as an engine in a cheap-o economy car.

    The miserable prick who thought it would be a good idea to sew the tag of this shirt onto the torso, just above waste level. That mother fucker can burn in hell for this itching piece of crap that requires tearing stitches and resewing the damn shirt to make it wearable.

    Counter Strike: Global Offensive is both difficult and popular. *edit: and makes a shit-ton of money.

    That's not legal on the LL's part, depending on the state. Not nearly enough time allowed for a tenant to make arrangements. Fuck 'em.

    Offered to bring in a business relationship to a new partnership with someone he knows - out of courtesy and respect, not because it was necessary - and this guy now wants 1/3 of all profits for doing jack-all. Fucking pissing me off.

    Cannot fucking believe how god damn slow the GIF thread is. And, some how, it seems like it's getting worse. Nothing else in the whole of the interwebs is as slow.

    Equus starts at about $61,000 On the car related things; my stupid car thinks that when I turn on the defroster, it needs to be on FULL FUCKING BLAST, even though I have the fans at 2 out of 10. Luckily only needed about 2-3 times a year.

    Darkest Dungeon

    If you find a Hellion with the double stun, get her. Auto-hit, stuns 2 targets for a round. Big help early on. And while we're on the subject of Hellions; I also got one that hits 3 targets at a time, fairly hard. Ran both in a group together along with a Vestal who had AoE heal; did pretty well.

    I would assume it'll have fairly constant tweaks and patches (fingers crossed). It looks like fun so I got it; decent price. I hope it has CONTENT updates in a timely manner as well.

    I'm not sure GW has ever made a sound business decision; at least not in the time I've played. Here's their idea for making profits: "Hey Bob, let's make this new army we're releasing the most powerful yet - followed by the NEXT army they release being the most powerful yet - but only if the...

    Really good first shot at painting. Despite what you see on Golden Deamon and coolminiornot.com don't get caught up in trying to go balls-out. Pick 3 or 4 simple colors and make the units/army cohesive. That base work looks great too; wonderful way to tie an army together. I burned out on...

    Just how it works bud. However, because you aren't in the wrong, most banks do go after the other party (sort of like having a car accident. You pay deductible then get reimbursed). Don't let it slide. Get that shit straightened out.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Congrats on the new Vette man; awesome ride. Very often I miss my old Z06 and would love to get something fun again (manual sports car) but it just isn't in the cards right now with needing 4 doors and moving soon. Hell, my Buddies' wife's car is now faster since he's modded it (300 SRT8).

    Absolutely. You'll definitely get that 2k you're looking for with a little practice. LFR isn't a good yard stick, but if you joined a Heroic - or even Normal - you would have a more thorough set of mechanics to work through.

    Right. Curious to see what our Heroic run is like this week. I'll be running Fury on some fights too with the recent changes for my class. Just got lucky on a 1h drop from Butcher in LFR so I have 2 one-handers now.

    Our 640ish ilvl hunters are doing 22-23k usually, movement and all. But, they have a fair bit of raid experience. I bet you'll be at that same level with a little practice and becoming more familiar with fights. Same for our melee and movement; if we get a fairly static fight (Butcher...

    What freakin' ilvl is that run at? Jeez. Nevermind, found it. Average ilvl 696, lol. So, not relevant to us yet, at all.

    At no point in history has Blizzard understood how their classes perform and created any sort of balance. Yes, Gladiator is popular; it's because the other two specs are utter shit. How about you try to fix the broken and worthless crap instead of nerfing the only viable spec?

    Yeah, it doesn't sound like it's a market-savvy person. But, someone else could buy his up and re-list slowly, maybe making 10% back on each. On our server, there is almost nothing on the AH for any slot. Real shame.

    Haha, ok, thank you. Appreciate the advice. I'll look elsewhere for a thought-provoking and strategic game. Was hoping what I heard about Diplomacy were exaggerations.
