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

    That was the biggest selling point of a polaroid. Women weren't all that enthused about everyone at the photo place having a copy. Not to mention when 1 hour photo came into being they had glass walls in the malls so people could see what they were developing as they walked by.

    Driverless Cars in 2016

    I can see for in town commuting. But I can't see in my lifetime wanting a vehicle that doesn't have human controls. Off the top of my head I can think of dozens of situations a computer isn't going to handle. I guess I am in the minority.

    They came up with $1 million on kick starter for a polaroid type camera, because nobody nowdays has seen a camera that makes an instant print camera. All digital now. Kids these days. Apparently they still make film for it.

    Driverless Cars in 2016

    I thought I read a few weeks ago that google driverless cars had a fender bender rate of twice that of human operated cars. They weren't equipped to deal with people who gave up the right away to merge and such. Not major accidents but small fender benders. As someone mentioned just because...

    If they are going to stick with the limited playoffs I would rather go back to the old bowl game layout. Let times get invited to a bowl for a good matchup regardless of record. There was no interest in LSU playing Texas Tech, who really gave a shit? I would have rather seen them play a team...

    I think at some point in the not to distant past they had downsized. I mentioned it earlier but they had faced a series of business lawsuits from what someone else had posted. I'm not sure if they were related to the downturn and he got behind or what.

    I think the only choice they have is 4 months tops in prison and then after that he can face "up to" 40 years if he violcated probation again.

    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    Saw a video not long ago of a company that had put on a conference on how to work the H1 visas to your advantage. How to advertise for jobs so that nobody would be qulaified, where to advertise for them and such. The whole deal was so you could hire foreigners with little to no hassle.

    No, but I owned 85% of the company I owned before I sold it back to the original owner. I never made $1 million in a year and we netted a lot more than $15 million per year. We could have a change of materials request and change alloys and the net would change from $25 to $15 million for that...

    For him? Possibly. Our president in a $450 million a year company doesn't make $1 million a year. Maybe sheetmetal is different. Our materials eat up the biggest bulk of the gross. But the media makes it sound like he's a mega rich mogul. Not even close.

    Just rustled that people I know are dying left and right. I really don't hang out with people my age or less. I know quite a few 70+ year olds and do stuff quite often. Just sad. Guys who to me actually did something. Victory at sea is known as one of the best series documentaries on the way...

    They've acted like his family is Bill Gates and Trump rich. I read today his dad owns a $15 million per year sheet metal shop. Ummm OK. Profit margins in something like that are a lot lower than retail and electronics and such.

    What's so laughable about it is he was on probation. Report in and don't do stupid stuff in videos and eventually it goes away. It's not like he was on the run from a murder charge. His mom got deported back to the US and he's still in Mexico for whatever reason.

    Aquaintance of mine died. He had been a long time gun writer and editor for some of the largest magazines in the day having known worked with the legends in the business like P.O. Ackley and Elmer Keith. He worked on the series Victory at Sea way back when. Sad.

    It was all fun and games and everyone was in line to get on board until Cosby got old and didn't have pull any more. In 20 years or so there will be someone else for the same thing. They couldn't get in line fast enough apparently. But now that the music ended they don't have a chair to sit in.
