Re: OT 20: rotisserie roller coaster

There are pros and cons … however jobs are jobs they are not going to be from home where you can Jack off between meetings and mow the lawn. Those days are coming to an end. Been saying that since day 1. Also I expect anyone not physically present to be severely disadvantaged from any sort of promo...

Re: Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Zillow and Carvana hold significant amounts of physical assets (carvana at least, are depreciating). Most tech companies Ive worked with are held to ebitda growth. Market share is one factor, but reasonably mature companies will have ebitda as a primary kpi...I can see carvana or zillow having massi...

Does it not run at all? It really seems like a decent :scrooge: moving option IMO. Unless it's too much of a project to trust driving that far?

Only a matter of time until I get another total shitbox and own this. Previous contenders included a rusted out explorer, clapped out Sebring and a hail damaged Rx8 (which I still kinda miss).

Re: Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Surprised to hear of rear end issues on the GM car. Most of those components are evolution instead of revolution. For example the 2.0T engines are pretty much all derived from the same ecotec platform(s) which even borrowed a lot from saab. Many of their other main drive components follow the same p...

Small motorboat. I may also get a little sunfish or something too, but thinking 17-24 ft or so, bow rider with an outboard would be ideal. Gotcha. Growing up, we had a 17' Maxum that we would tow to a ramp in North East River and then spend the day water skiing in Still Pond. It was an outboard tha...
