IOwnCalculus posted:And yeah, it seems like any concept of "what is negotiation" is long dead. I think it may just be that the games have changed. Take, for instance, my search for a couple-year-old midrange SUV this past summer. I struggled for a couple months with failed deals and dealerships not moving an inch when all I wanted was to give them cash and take a car off their lot. I guess my mindset is outdated. I saw this video last night and it all made sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLxVyeFmod8 I'm sure the game has changed in other ways that I don't know about, too.  In other news, Dax Shepard is awesome and has the best taste in cars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ7M5mM7BiU

 Guys, we have a problem. As you may have noticed, there are two chat threads currently open. This has caused a great disruption and this is exactly what Russia wants. But we're on to their scheme. Did they really think that we wouldn't notice the fact that one thread has a Cycles tag and the other has a Cars tag? It's clear how this will go down. The cycles people must squash the cars people. You know what to do.

InitialDave posted:I usually have enough stuff floating about to last a couple of weeks if I really needed to, but I can't say I'm expecting things to descend into some kind of apocalypse. Even if what you're seeing is an overreaction, it's still a reaction. I just keep going back to New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina -- it only took about 3 days without services and utilities to fully devolve into chaos. We're not nearly as ready for disruption as we think we are. I'll be stocking up on Bota Boxes. If it all goes down, I don't want to get caught drinking swill beer, I'll get caught drinking box wine.

Ether Frenzy posted:Ticketmaster doesn't set the prices, the artists do, Ticketmaster doesn't own the tickets, the artists/and promoter do. This is not a theory, it's how it works. Nope. I've bought tickets to shows for a long, long, time. There was a fundamental shift in the pricing structure when ticketmaster enlarged its online presence, and the tacking on of "convenience" charges and fees out the rear end just sours me to the whole experience. Neverminding their whole "facilitating a secondary market," which just means that they are profiting multiple times on the same ticket. Which makes today's ticket buy surprisingly nice. Fairly large "indie" band has a lead singer that's doing a solo tour. Very few stops and one of them is about an hour and a half from me. Checked with my wife and we agree to go. I pick 2 General Admission tickets for $35 and I'm figuring it's going to be $100 or so in total after all the bullshit. Nope, bottom line was $70. ZERO fees, ZERO convenience charge, ZERO taxes... wow. I mean $70 for 2 people to stand and listen to music isn't cheap, but I appreciate it just being a straight price upfront.

The Door Frame posted:It is a big deal on the global scale due to its "high" mortality rates and governments should worry, but individuals? No. Not unless you're already worried about the seasonal flu killing you There are multiple things to consider -- this is a new virus, so nobody has immunity. This is a new virus, so we don't know its proclivity to mutate, or its dormant cycles or... anything. I'm just sick as gently caress of everybody becoming immunoviral scientists all of a sudden and spouting off statistics they heard on their news outlet of choice like it's some kind of "proof." Everyone needs to chill out and see how it develops. I've said from the start that it's not going to be a plague event, but there will be disruption. It'll really show how our system (and the global system) accounts for stress of the system.

Along this discussion thread -- The latest F1 documentary on Netflix is pretty good. A lot of behind the scenes drama in real time that makes that component much more interesting than the lovely racing that's been on the track the last few years. The thing that sticks out to me, though, is a phrase from one of the main Red Bull guys who said about the first open practice at the beginning of the season "It's where we drop our pants and see what everyone's got." I have already used that phrase since I heard it last week and I intend to use it frequently.

cakesmith handyman posted:A fulfilling weekend, daughter finally picked up this whole "cycling without falling off" business. Also, got a cast iron pan for a tenner when the wife and I couldn't decide which of the thousand equally poo poo looking £30+ non-stick pans to get. It's unbelievable how good this is. I've got a big cast iron pan that I salvaged from a house my brother bought. Haven't worked up the gumption to use it, it seems like it's a while "thing." XC90s -- avoid the I6 and V8. Turbo 5s are solid. Angle gears are problematic. FWD T5 is stout, but hard to find. I loved the one we had in the late '00s. If non-dealer canbus equipment was easier to source back then, I still may have it. It was a seriously nice car. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Mar 8, 2020 |

So I've been notified that I'm off next week too (spring break this week), and the week after, my college will be doing online classes. Except I don't have an online class. I don't have a plan for an online class. I think online classes are bullshit and don't accurately provide proper challenges at the college/university level. And I've been told that "it will be burdensome for you. " Ummmmm.... I'm a contract employee. I don't really give a poo poo about continuing contracts with this organization and there's no provisions in my contract to change the method of delivery. This is gonna get weird. And interesting.

T-Square posted:Yeah but the difference is we have vaccines and medicine that can drastically reduce flu symptoms and infection rates, we don't really have poo poo for COVID yet. And it's a new virus that we know nothing about generating immunity, or mutations, or any of that "science" stuff. Plus, the PERCENTAGE of people that have died from COVID is higher than the flu, but you know... Fox Trump talking points.

Good luck, Powershift. I've been stocking up over the past 3 weeks and I'm ready to just pull the ripcord and take the family underground for a few weeks. Congress was just briefed that the US has tested 11,000 people IN TOTAL. South Korea is testing that number PER DAY. We are being directly lied to by our government and, while the virus itself isn't going to cripple us, horrible mismanagement of the situation just may. I'm not normally reactionary, but this combination of an actual situation needing immediate response, paired with our government's ostrich reply is honestly frightening.

rdb posted:I think that may be the strategy here. Don’t test, that way numbers can’t be bad. Repeat “its just a normal cold” or “the flu kills more people” until people believe it. Pretend it never happened/we won. No one can test, so evidence won’t exist otherwise. This is my thought/fear, also.

sharkytm posted:Ohio seems to understand how serious this is. They were the first to admit to having a massively under-reported infection count, too. It's a Republican governor, and I'm inclined to disagree with his moves, but credit where it's due -- he's listened to the science and made strong, difficult calls that needed to be made. I'm absolutely on his side right now. rdb posted:So many people live paycheck to paycheck and this forces them to loose their paycheck. And stores are empty, not that they have money. And at just about the same time he announced the restaurant and bar closure, he announced that he was signing an executive order giving people that are out of work because of coronavirus unemployment. Another strong, good move. Good luck on this week, rdb.

I just want to say “Its a Democratic hoax, fake news, testing not required because you had it in November, its safe to go out if you gargle salt water, flu kills more people, and the real disease is people skipping church on Sunday. Go repost this before Facebook takes it down because its the truth and media is evil.” Maybe the results will open some eyes. I follow some wacko Right-wingers on facebook and they are full-on deniers. Quoting Swine Flu numbers and saying that this is nothing worse than the flu. Bottom line is that in 6 weeks, it'll be clear who was correct.

What I was intending to say is that a short-term  doesn't do anything to alleviate the damaged caused in the last month. It'll help people in the short term, I just hope that's not translated into "Trump helped us when we needed it," when it's demonstrable that Trump amplified the damage.In other news, the DJIA is lower now than when the orange one took office.
