  1. Then things have changed drastically from when my roommate was a car salesman. And this was before 84 month car notes.
  2. The conundrum is whether to buy the cheap beach front summer property, or the cheap summer mountain cabin. Do you want to lose that uninsurable property from the Cat 5 hurricane storm surge - or from the uncontrolled wildfire caused by unraked forest floors?
  3. “Scourge of black vultures.” Trump supporter post checks out.
  4. One of the articles I read last night said that the number of lower FICO score car loans in default more than 60 days has doubled in the last month. The article mentioned that keeping a car note current is one of the priorities of people who won’t pay other creditors because everyone needs their car. However, not being able to afford food or medicine will prime a car note. I was about to lease or buy a new vehicle as I get ready for a retirement in a year or two, but I’ve decided to wait a bit because I think there will be a large number of very inexpensive and newish used vehicles on the market in the next year.
  5. I obviously have no idea if this is the correct translation. I did not know that brave Sir Robin had even moved to Russia.
  6. The important thing is, they are doing so much better once he saved them.
  7. And yet, there’s at least a 50-50 chance he will chicken out again after another Putin phone call.
  8. I am shocked that Ukraine successfully using long range missiles to hit Russian refineries has led to Trump now allowing the use of long range missiles to hit Russian refineries.
  9. Putting an already deeply in debt Gazprom further in debt is a good thing. As a state controlled entity, Putin has to go to the state rainy day fund to keep propping it up, money that can’t be spent on the war.
  10. my underwear is furtively moving
  11. Yup. I worked at the Hanford #2 plant in Washington State - and then the Waterford #3 startup in Taft, Louisiana from 1980-1986 pre-law school. BWR and PWR, respectively. Gata in the containment vessel circa ‘83-‘84. 120 degrees of fun wearing hazmat stuff. A couple layers of booties and gloves wrapped at ankles and wrists with duct tape. I think I see my alarming dosimeter in case I lingered too long by some boron management pipes. And as far as I can remember, the craziest sons of a bitches I ever partied with were the fuel pool divers. Highest paid cats too.
  12. Also, containment vessels are woke.
  13. I am saving so much capital gains money right now….
  14. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_distillation Looks to be an unimportant hit. Not.
  15. Gloom, despair, an agony on me. Deep, dark depression, excessive misery.
  16. Well, I for one very much appreciate their contribution to my current happiness.
  17. Ya see, “ lie, cheat or steal” are all individual descriptors/actions. If you combine lie AND cheat, that is something completely different. That we will tolerate. Stupid Sip.
  18. And then, when they land, we will explain to them who was responsible for their being burned.
  19. I see this as potentially directed at Donald Trump. It’s a way of saying “who needs your tomahawks?” - we have our own icbms - and also saying that we are kicking Russia’s ass in this war and all of your stupid comments about Russia destroying us are obviously false. We are winners. We are strong. Russia keeps dunking on you, Trump, and will never win.
  20. Oh, wait!! You said “peephole”? Nah.
  21. Interim head coach Billy Gonzales announced on Monday that quarterbacks coach Ryan O’Hara will call offensive plays for the Florida Gators moving forward after Billy Napier’s departure. Russ Callaway will remain the offensive coordinator. “Coach Callaway is going to be the OC, but I’m going to let Coach O’Hara call the plays,” Gonzales said during Monday’s press conference. “I think the most important piece to that is there’s a rhythm piece between him and DJ. I think it’s really important that the quarterback is an extension of his teacher. In this particular setting, for the next five games, I think that’s going to be critical. DJ has got a great relationship with both.” “I see the same things,” Gonzales said. “Obviously, we want to be more productive. We want to be more explosive. That’s going to be something that we’ll talk about as a staff, offensively, to see what we can do.” Gonzales was asked about potential wrinkles and changes within the offense. “I think you’ll see some things that are a little different,” Gonzales said. “I think one thing that I want to hopefully continue to assert in the offense is I think we’ve got a lot of playmakers, and I’d like to be able to spread it out a little bit hopefully and get some of those players involved.” Gonzales mentioned tweaking some of the plays to put his guys in the ‘best possible position and play to their strengths.” “We’ve got great players here. If we can get some guys the ball in space and let them work, I think you’ll see a Florida offense that’s ready to roll,” Gonzales added.” Edit: not outright dunking on Sunbelt Billy, but a little bit of shade to be inferred.
  22. This board is filled with guys who will step in to help the misses out. One of the things that makes this board so great. I respect your decision, but all cancer flavors are not the same. Every guy on this board will probably have prostate cancer in their bodies in their 60s or 70s, and will die before it does anything. Again, all due respect, but maybe you should get a second opinion or at least go to someplace like MDA and see your options before you decide on the most invasive procedure with the highest percentage significant side effects. Either way, you have this. But again, if you are going to have surgery, make sure you have the best goddamn surgeon in the country who’s done 1000 of these procedures, and not just the guy or gal at your local hospital they assigned you to. I admit that me sharing this is largely due to the fact that my local hospital surgeon wanted to get me like a fish to cure my liver cancer when it turned out I did not have liver cancer. The best cancer care I ever received was none at all.
