When I started my new job 3 months ago they gave me a week off at a future date (now) to go home and get my stuff in order which I thought wasn't bad. Company jet picks me up Monday at an airport 10 minutes away and I get dropped off an airport literally 5 miles from my house. I could used...

Just got in from setting my mount and tripod for a night of viewing. Going to start out with a 102mm refractor and graduate to an 8" newt. These were the only two telescopes I had handy since I moved. No idea where my 12v powersource is located, so goto and no guiding tonight. All manual.

I'm going to start a religion that mandates the followes not wear shoes or shirts, then sue every business with a sign that says "No shirt, no shoes, no service" till I'm a billionaire.

Next time they'll just bake it and use lots of exlax in it. They won't get any gay referral business plus the befefit of laughing at them shit all day. Win/Win.

Everything is a trade off. Gram weenies just weight less weight more than comfort. Some stuff like cooking stuff I go really light, I prefer to carry a tent over a hammock.

Same people who are against will bitch next that people who own a business are just greedy fucks who are in it for the money only. Gee I wonder why.

Here today, edited tomorrow, gone the next.

I still fail to see the issue, as mentioned above make it a club where you instantly make people join for a small fee of $1.00 or whatever and it's good for a year. They do that in lots of other "retail" type businesses like bars and retaurants. Don't want to server them, fine "you're not a member".

Reminds me of an article I read yesterday about a guy who mouthed off to a Chik Fil-A employee when they had a sit in or whatever. He waited in line for hours to get his turn to get free water to protest the CEO talking about gays. He got up there and recorded it and posted it on youtube and...

Charge a fee to be a member, make it $0.50 and ring it up at time of purchase. Don't like XX refuse to let them become a member. No different than in parts of the country that still have dry counties or whatever. They want to keep XX from getting drunk, the restaurants require you to be a...

KBB gives a private party price in good shape and it has 72,000 miles on it in 8 years so it's in pretty good shape and nobody ever sat in the other 3 seats - a price of around $17k which seems really high considering I paid $23k for it new.

Any experience on how accurate the online price guides like NADA and Kelly blue book are for selling a used vehicle? I'm thinking of selling one of my trucks and it seems like the price they come up with to sell to a private party is incredibly high. Like 70-75% of what I paid for it and it's an...

Should the BBC have dropped Jeremy Clarkson? - poll | Media | theguardian.com Should the BBC have sacked Jeremy Clarkson? 64% Yes 36% No Poll closes in 1 day

That's why I park way the hell out and go only once a month. Their insulin is 1/4 the price of buying it at another pharmacy.

Similiar to that, but they had angled spots, the right lane could only turn in one way. The oncoming lane turns into the opposite side.

She was behind me going the same direction I was, just decided to pass and then cut me off to get back in line. Odd. She really thought it was all one way, which still doesn't mean you pass on the right. That part of the parking lot was basically empty and I normally park pretty far out.

Got hit in a walm-mart parking lot late last year. Was driving out near the edge of the lot in a lane that went both directions. A lady passed me on the right thru the parking lines where nobody was parked and then cut me off clipping my bumper to get back in line. She told the cop she didn't...

So did Mike just pick up a dog at the pound just to see the vet and then return it lol?

BBC tweets they aren't renewing his contract. Jeremy Clarkson officially fired by BBC; in doubt - Yahoo Autos

I'm sure it would be a big hit, but you have to agree there's a lot of stuff he could do with the BBC behind him that a regular network isn't going to bring. Stuff like the excursions all over the world, driving a car off of a Royal Marines landing craft onto a beach and shit like that.

I would love to see them do that at something like an NFL stadium. The amount of drunks leaving the game trying to use it would be worth the laughs alone, then you know a super drunk would get stuck in the thing and possibly lose their life. Not to the machine but the pissed off other drunk fans...

I got bumped due to a mechanical problem in Salt Lake city and had to rent a car to get to Settle overnight. I could only find one car cause it was the week of Bonneville. It was limited to 65 and the speed limit was higher. I pretty much wont rent a car again, EVER. As someone who drives...

Our IT guy had never heard of a mouse with buttons on the side so you can go forward and backward on a website or whatever else. "Sounds complicated" when I told him to get me one. Getting an ad together for his replacement tomorrow.

I laid limestone pavers and I used a special blade on my bandsaw, probably not an option here tho.

We get notifications when we upload drawings and RFI's (or answered) via their computer system. I assume they like it that way because unlike an email you have to file out their form, follow their guidelines unlike an email. We are just finishing up an expiremental coal fired power plant at...

I get off at 11 on most Fridays now. By 6-7pm I feel like it's time to go to bed.

Fair enough, just pointing out how it works in our small little industry. On capital projects you want to CYA and prepare for arbitration. Faxes go over well in arbitration for whatever reason. Most offices that do what do also keep two phones in every PM's office, VOIP phone and landline...

'Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson Hints He Will Be Sacked - Yahoo Autos

Just read a news blurb on yahoo of all places. Their brackets for some contest only had 3 people get thru the first round. Then all 3 idiots didn't complete the rest of their bracket. One woman get all first round right and then just picked Kentucky to win it all and left off the other rounds.

If they never click "OK" you still haven't covered your ass. Sorry I kind of like it to be covered 100% when you send a fax that instructs someone in the shop or field to make a quick change on something that could affect a large amount of time/money on a project and it needs to be deal with...

The reason the offices in engineering/construction want it faxes is you have an instant confirmation via the fax machine that they received at their office. Emails you never know when they get around to actually reading it. Most engineering/heavy construction offices have a fax in the...

I don't have the bandwith at this location.

My Alma Mater, SFA got in for only the 3rd time and we don't get Tru TV.

I remember when this was the motto of this board and especially screenshots, not a discussion about whatever.

If nobody is going to post passed on girls at a frat party move this to rickshaw, or general at least. Threat title is misleading.

Sometimes it pays to break the rules. Offically got the title of VP of engineering today after 2-1/2 months on the job. Only 3 VP's in the company. I sent in a blind resume and cover letter, made a two page resume and a two page cover letter. Sent it in via snail mail. President of the...
