  1. I’m about ten years in and I guess one thing I will say about this industry. It pays well but it’s bumpy as hell. You better be prepared for some instability. Always keep a good amount of cash on hand as an emergency fund. I do think the death of oil and gas is extremely overblown, but at the same time the growth prospects may not be what they used to be. Also you better be prepared to deal with a lot of bureaucracy and politics at the majors. That being said I do like my job and I’m getting paid more than I ever thought I would be, so there is that! I’m just stashing away as much as possible, hopefully I can retire early.
  2. Skiing on New Years is always a giant clusterfuck.
  3. That thing looks like it could put some lead down range in a hurry.
  4. I think there was a bit of both sorts of landings. The guy that went down hard though was definitely in a pod / shell so he must have been landing on tires. One thing about California though there’s a fair bit more terrain relief and wind / turbulence, standing updrafts over hills etc that may make it a little more complicated than Texas.
  5. That’s a hell of a gift. Sounds badass.
  6. My friends got into this pretty big out in California. One of them got out after a few broken ribs on a hard landing but I think the rest are still doing it. They really enjoyed it but it can definitely get a little sketchy sometimes.
  7. Those are some serious lookin snails right there I tell you what.
  8. Dude. 12k ceramic coating? I got ceramic coat and 3M bras put on my new F150 a month ago for $1500 all in. What kind of ride are you getting taken on here?
  9. If we’re talking Caymans I think we would be remiss if we didn’t cover the new Cayman GTS 4.0. It’s got the flat six and 394 HP. I’ve been playing around with configurator trying to convince myself it’s worth it. They don’t come cheap though. Some basic options gets you to 90k with a lot of room for growth above that. According to reviews they are supposed to be the purest sports car Porsche is making right now.
  10. Have any of y’all Ecoboost bros gotten tunes on your V6s? I was doing some research and it seems pretty easy with a cost of $5-600 for approximately 50 hp / 50 ft•lbs. Just wondering if anyone has done that here.
  11. I’m on Synchrony making a solidly shitty .5%. Maybe I’ll try increasing my holdings by a solid 20k like you said. Right now I only have 1000 in there so yea the ticket number is low.
  12. Lol. I need to shut my dumb mouth.
  13. KEF Wireless LS50. Read the reviews. I love mine.
  14. ALPP is wilting fast right now. HODL.
  15. I haven’t won Jack shit either. I won $.36 so far. My real savings is in an online high yield and I don’t see a big reason to make a switch over just yet.
  16. Bitches be crazy. And I bet she took half hubbies shit too!
  17. Lunch cancer? Is there any money left in the wreath fund??
  18. Came here just to post that I bought a technivorm moccamaster yesterday. Pretty stoked on it. Been using an aeropress or french press but I’m stepping the game up now.
  19. I personally prefer stocking foot waders as when you wear out the boots you can replace them. I am usually a fly fisherman though and the rocky streams and hikes can chew up the rubber more than sandy bottom stuff might.
  20. Someone’s always gotta be a wise ass. Guess this time it was me.
  21. Lol, are you keeping your lemonade on fish ice? That’s a nice pair of fish either way.
  22. Could it go around the recoil buffer tube?
  23. No power means the refineries can’t run. When they get shut down without warning they have a lot of hydrocarbons being processed that suddenly can’t be processed anymore. That means they need to safely take those hydrocarbons and flare them off to depressurize the plant and make it safe. That means massive simultaneous flaring.
  24. Likely either weed edibles or psilocybin edibles.
  25. What’s left Asset wise haha. GOM? Eagleford? Permian?
