A good deal is what one perceives to a good deal. I negotiated someone down a couple of bucks on something that was worthless... i walked away like I was genghis khan.

You poor benighted soul.

Flat bottomed wheels make the rockin’ world go ‘round.

And I hope that whatever fortune he amassed is awarded as damages to the family of the innocents he killed. 

The story is interesting on its own, but the headline is one hell of a stretch. A car is worth what someone will pay for it, not what shares in a company would have been worth if those shares had not purchased the car decades ago.

Pretty sure that’s a Lambo butter slicer, dude.

My only takeaway from reading this story earlier in the week was:

It has not been a pain at all the past couple years. Pay $10, and get a full 24 hour, commercial-free stream that I can access through the WEC web site, or the iOS app. This year though, I have the exciting prospect of not watching it at all because they decided the only good way for US fans to watch is on a premium…

Also cyclists who refuse to use the sidewalk in areas where it’s completely legal, in fact encouraged, for them to do so (I live in LA).

I hope he’s driving himself to a barber to get that haircut fixed. That should be investigated as child abuse.

“Well, selfish Volvo driver, did you bring enough safety for eeeeeveryone?”

Maybe it is what she thought it would be, and that’s why she took the job. She comes from a right-wing evangelical family. A lot of right-wing evangelicals look at Trump as a tool to get what they view as God’s will done. For her, perhaps the ends justify the means.

Come on DoD, it’s time to move to a cloud based license model. When you sell tanks, planes or AA artillery to a despot, use a license subscription model. Unless they keep the license up to date, we terminate their ability to use the equipment. Nothing splashy just a basic control circuit that renders the equipment…

Hot cakes are delicious.

This one has five doors.

Yes, I do fall down, but I try to pick myself back up and when people try to knock me down again, it hurts.
