    Home buying thread

    Depends on the state, but in TX you can use a title company and get the same service and they actually will put their 2 cents in since their fee isn't a comission based on the sale. That's how I have bought and sold every piece of property/house. Just have the title company deal with it, they...

    Skyrim

    I got the SkyUI and got it going. I tried to put in the customizable favorites menu mod but so far I'm either too stupid to get it to work in game right or whatever. Really just want a mod that allows you to set up sets of armor/weapons/spells and hotkey them and have them change. I have a...

    What was your dream growing up before life kicked you in the nuts/vag?

    I would use one of the new phoblc words that are now popular, but 5 seconds after I heard/learned them I forgot what it was.

    If it's hot water you should hear the hot water heater come on and off if you listen long enough, if you're not running hot water for something else.

    Our parent company is in the bay area. We had to help them on a job. The amount of shit and mass bulk weight of a job due to seismic shit was unreal. Our side of the company said never again, lose our number lol. The amount of labor on a job was incredible. A two story building would be 2 to 3...

    No I definetly would be more worried about a fire, followed by a mudslide. Both of those can be managed for but they don't.

    Step Son Joining Air Force, Advice?

    Yeah I wanted to say the same. You can make a living with your hands, but you have to work at it. Our "tackers" start at $15-$20/hour and welders with experience who can set up a machine, weld in any posistion, the more difficult alloys and such will make $50-$60 per hour. I know pipeliners make...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Different industry obviously, but I always ask about turnover and when their last layoff was. Some people seem shocked you ask. One owner told me "you know, man up and man down". Yeah no thanks.

    Health Problems

    Here's an odd deal. Last week it got so hard to breathe I couldn't do anything. Sitting at the computer I was gasping. Walking to the other side of the house took 15 minutes of preperation and such. My mom said try some stuff that's made to combat acid reflux. I have had stomach pains and the...

    I'm only up to a whopping lvl 4 and just dicking around figuring out the UI and controls. I made an imperial. I guess I need to figure out how to cast since I haven't done anything so far other that hit shit with an axe.

    Yup when I took my last job they offered a posistion in the bay area of CA with the parent company at three times the pay. Wasn't interested. They are still working thru the process now of finding out people rather live in other areas for less pay that can actually afford a house and such...

    Ralph Stanley, dead at 89. Not only was he a living legend, he and his brother pretty much defined an entire genre of music for 70+ years. The number of awards he had won is staggering, given an honary PhD.

    Got behind a 3 wheel motorcycle the other day going 30 on a 4 lane highway I couldn't pass. I figured it wouldn't matter as the entrance to the interstate was right there. He gets on the interstate and speeds up....to 35-40. Where do these people come from?

    I'm not all that interested in a lot of the mods. What the game looks like is of no concern to me. I played for just a few minutes the other day to start off. I will say the controls/UI were a bit funky, but I guess you get used to it.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Never lived anywhere without a Sonic. I fail to see the attraction for the food. The drinks are a good deal to stop and get a drink and maybe something else while you're there. The appeal is it's fast, you drive up and they come out in a minute or so with drinks. I sure wouldn't wait for it...

    College Football 2016-2017 Season

    Someone needs to tell the aggies. They're all over the LSU board talking like LSU is their big rival. LSU doesn't want to be their rival. LSU is responsible for MO going to the east. That was a big mistake. A&M going to be in another 10-20 year downer period, they're still bitching about UT blah.
