"Did you know that the Fiat 500 comes in 15 different colors!?" Yeah, and Fiat is the 7th largest auto manufacturer in the world and the 500 isn't a Japanese RWD roadster, so who the gently caress cares? 32 hours...

Viggen posted:Yes, this is AI. Why am I not driving? I can fly out and RENT a car for about what gas would cost round trip. Shame they live in $AAB$PENSIVE zone. I'd try to grab a cheapy and limp it home for the folks, since they're down their two vehicles. I have to go to Florida this weekend because my last grandparent passed away. Hop on Kayak... Cool, $400 for a flight from Raleigh to Orlando with a stop in Miami; 6 hour total flight time plus getting a rental car and driving down to Vero Beach (1.5-2 hours). Or just bite the bullet and drive myself 650 miles for 2 tanks of gas for the same amount of time. Ughhhhhh... My body is ready for high speed rail.

It's about 350 miles straight west to US129, I need to just do 650 miles straight south. Thinking about leaving Friday afternoon, get in around midnight, and leave Sunday morning to be back in time for dinner on Sunday. This weekend is gonna be R O U G H.

I've only got one grandparent left, fortunately she's doing just fine and I wouldn't be surprised if she sees 110.

keykey posted:That's not quite the issue at hand. The issue is the system is churning out kids/adults that are led to believe that just because they go to school they are entitled to a job or even a certain standard. that's not the way it works, you have to work and be willing to accept the poo poo jobs to begin with to build a resume and to not only realize an opportunity, but take it. As of now, it's more of a congrats, you have a bachelors, so does drat near everybody else. A bachelors is the new high school diploma. Honestly, the program we have here where students will earn the highest amount of money out of this place because we have instructors that work in the industry with a direct line of work is welding. Guess what we are cutting next year so we can pad more programs that are worthless until you get a masters? Don't get me wrong, school is great, however somewhere along the way we have lost the greater vision of vocational programs. Believe it or not, not everybody who graduates with a psychology degree will be a psychologist. Nah, the issue at hand is always this quarter's profits. Worker productivity is at an all time high, record profits are posted every quarter, and only if people would stop being so lazy and get a poo poo job then we wouldn't have any of this! The problem is more base and systemic than you think and it really comes down to the straight up greed of corporations. I do agree with you on the vocational stuff, but you're shooting the messenger by placing the blame at academia's feet. sigtrap posted:That "my job is harder than yours" thing is a bottomless pit, anyway. There's always someone who has to wake up earlier or dig a deeper hole or whatever Computer janitor harder, etc. Phone fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Sep 5, 2014 |

Darchangel posted:NOT what I said, stop trolling. Discipline is not abuse. The touchy-feely poo poo that they're trying to use now for a while isn't turning out stellar members of society, is it? Just because you don't understand something, it doesn't mean that it isn't effective or a not a good idea. The mechanisms behind child development and whether or not a child was spanked as a child are well known. Also, I have a strong feeling that csb was being facetious; however, I don't want to share or misrepresent his childhood.

I went from an iPhone4 to Nokia Lumia 920 to Nexus 4 to Nexus 5. The N5 makes the N4 look like dogshit; it's such a better handset in every regard.

Can we get a cool off period for talking about cars needing power and pedantically defining a PROPER SPORTS CAR? I get it that people are mad about the Toyobaru twins and poo poo, but if I wanted to see endless horsepower pondering, I could go to literally any other auto website. It's a boring topic that gets brought up all the loving time. Alternatively, allow it and rename this place Automotive Sanity. Phone fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Sep 15, 2014 |

Smashed two screens over the past 2 days. The Nexus 5 met the pavement due to the ridiculous spring my work has on it's door; however, Google has an exemption that was just published literally 10 days ago. Silver lining?

Looks like I'm finally selling the 6-speed after it being on CL for a few weeks. Freaked out a friend when I told them that I was meeting a dude off of CL who's interested in trannies.  Also I have poor impulse control and bought this (along with brakes for the Mazda2 (lol $70 for the fronts)):  I don't know why I'm so excited to have a radio in the kitchen, but I am. some texas redneck posted:You know, I'm not a fan of Tracy Morgan in the slightest (I consider him to be a homophobic jackass with the IQ of a couple of rocks), but apparently WalMart is saying it's his fault that he wound up in the hospital... after getting hit in a limo by a WalMart 18 wheeler. Please keep in mind that Wal-Mart's HR department has resources on hand to help employees apply for food stamps because they don't pay their loving employees a liveable wage. All hail the GLORIOUS job creators, etc.
