Dog, I see you out here trying real hard. But just know that if they can’t figure out marginal vs effective tax rate they aren’t going to understand the concept of opportunity cost and how to apply it to their own situation. Good on you for putting in the effort though.

Ya this has the potential to be Woodley-Wonderboy III. I think Till will pressure Woodley more than Thompson did but by the numbers Thompson vs Till actually had less action than Woodley-Wonderboy I and barely more than their 2nd fight which is the one everyone likes to bitch about. That’s just based on strikes…

Should have booked Usman or even RDA. I don’t care that he lost his last fight. He was deserving before he lost to Colby and if Colby can’t fight then RDA is a perfectly acceptable replacement. It would make their interim belt look even more ridiculous though so I’m assuming that’s why they’re not making that fight.…

The Fertittas were the brains behind the operation. It’s not just you: the UFC is in fact a poorly run promotion now. They got their big TV deal though so it doesn’t even matter at this point.

I got my ‘02 for 9k in Dallas. Also silver. 130k miles. It had a 2" rip in the top that I patched and then I bought a hard top for it. It had a couple of other cosmetic issues as well as a CEL which is why I got it for 9k. I beat the piss out of it like I used to do to my ‘92 integra. Easily the most fun car I’ve…

That is a good price. Where do you live?

I agree. As much as I love America and our car culture the s2000 is a good example of how fucking stupid people in this country can be about cars. Everywhere else in the world got the 2 liter for the entire production run. The stroked it to 2.2 just for us and the sales went down anyway...

The s2000 has a super forgiving clutch. The flywheel is of a moderate weight as well which helps (lighter is easier to stall). I’ve stalled every other manual car i’ve owned except for my s2000. It’s even easier to drive than my 92 integra.

It’s not your fault. You had a shit teacher.

Too cool! I thought my uncle and I did a good job shortening a Lincoln Town car body to fit our hot rod (hand-fab frame from scratch)... This thing looks to have some seriously clean lines and body panel fitment. Nothing like our amateur hour production. Master fabricator indeed. Any idea what it needs to rule the…

I prefer MMA (wasn’t always the case) and what you deacribed is a big reason why. Boxing are so much more technical but I have somewhat soured on a sport that is so limited that turning your back to an opponent is somehow an advantage rather than a huge mistake. Also as bad as the scoring system and judging can be in…

3 weight classes. Terence Crawford was unified champ at light welterweight (2 classes up) but he vacated about a week after unifying the belts and is going to go for the belts at welterweight which would be 3 classes up from lomachenko. In theory he could go back down and meet lomachenko at light welterweight but I…

You do realize that kinja is a blog platform that users don’t get paid to contribute to, right?

Maybe journalism just isn’t a good paying career. I’m sorry if you choose an industry that is contracting but that’s a personal choice.

That is floyd’s MO. I refuse to pay for any event involving him. I’m not ashamed to say I have been suckered in multiple times in the past. It is amazing to see his skill for about 3 rounds but then you realize that this is how he fights literally every round. It’s just boring after the first 10 minutes or so.

Huh. Jose aldo is now either a grappler or a bum. Not sure if you forgot about him or simply don’t know much about mma (it’s okay; most people don’t and they can still have an opinion. It’s part of the fun if an event like this. In fairness most mma fans don’t know shot about boxing). I’m not a Connor fan. But jesus…

Holy shit. It sounds like the biggest change the game has gone through in well north of a decade have happened all in the last 2 years or less... almost like it’s a new game altogether. I appreciate you two giving me a quick run down. What match are you referring to in your other response? I’m unable to watch right…

I was an avid player for many years (since the original mod on WCIII). How has the game changed in the last 2 years? I have literally not touched it since I watched TI5.

If you’re employed at-will like these non-union mechanics then yes it is the same as quitting.

They do it for every home run.
