I understand it in highly populated areas. But these are suburbs pretty much in the middle of nowhere, you can drive 5 minutes in a couple of directions on be where houses are on multiple acres (sometimes LOTS more). You drive thru the hill country of nothing but ranches and then boom, 200...

That's San Francisco if his location in the upper left is right.

I don't understand it, rather have a smaller house and a bigger lot big enough to have a garage to park the cars in rather than the road. Not a fan of houses with the garage in the front either. Looks like they designed the house around the garage. I realise lots of people can't afford the...

Her sister lives on Lake Travis. I went and visited. I looked up the house next door since it was for sale. Only $16 million. Nice house, but it didn't do anything for me. If I live where I pay $16 million for a house I don't want to see neigbhors, and damn near not close enough to have a...

My girlfriend drives a Maserati. It's a nice car...but she makes about 1/4 what I do and she always complains of how expensive shit is where she lives and the price of home ownership/rent is going up up up (Austin). Of course I make 4x what she makes and I drive a 7 year old truck I paid $27k...

The feds announced last week they are suing a gun range in AR for having a sign that said "No muslim terrorist" allowed.

I guess stock in comanies that make signs that read "Management reserves the right to refuse service" are going to tank.

Mostly in the firearm industry. As noted even when the laws don't specify sending to an FFL lots of places now just refuse to ship straight to CA. I have also seen it in hobby related businesses online, they just refuse to ship to CA mostly for whatever reason not related to a rule on...

Edited, left out "to ship to". Not all that uncommon and they put on the website why as well.

Surpsied you guys haven't thrown a fit about businesses that refuse to certain states that they don't agree with politically or didn't vote their way and impacted their business/industry.

I guess I'm in the really super minority. I never cared what someone else at work was making. I figured I agreed to what I wanted to make for X job when I went to work there regardless of what someone else was making. Never understood it. As far as my employer knows I have a GED (which I do)...

You realise most of that was people who were dyed in the wool democrats. You couldn't find a democrat in the south until just recently. In fact it was in my lifetime that a lot of counties in the deep south even had a a republican primary for state and local elections.

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...
