Except Honda didn’t advertise the system as “Full Self-Driving Hardware” or really any manner that stated or implied you could do whatever you want and you’d be swept to your destination safely and efficiently. Tesla has done that only to walk in back in the fine print, and pretend it is the same thing. At a certain…

I’ve heard that there is money to be made getting OTHER people to invest in real estate, if the leads are good and you’re a good salesman. But that’s why I drive a Hyundai to work, and they drive an $80,000 BMW.

It seems like the cost of money is so low right now, that these crowdsource deals would only be on more risky projects that the traditional lenders weren’t interested in. Is that the case, or something I’m missing here?

I’ve got a 99 TJ, and now that I’ve got a kid and all the crap that comes with them, that LJ is looking more and more attractive for weekend escapes.  But damn, that pricing premium is hard to get past.

Major Anderson played a huge role in a very scary time in world history. His death probably marked the closest we’ve ever come to all-out war with the USSR.

Quick correction on the U2 shot down over Cuba: I think it is: Rudolf Anderson.

Also, in case anyone is interested, here’s a photo I took of the starboard inlet from Maj. Andersons’s U2, which is located in a museum in Trinidad, Cuba. The engine is located at the Museum of the Revolution in Havana, but why this piece…

Live look at the logo team:

But refusing a free shot out of spite is pretty Irish. So disrespectful. 

USB-C is still a pretty large port. For small stuff like this, expect micro to kick around for a while.

This is a bummer. I’ve had Nissans I loved in the past, but the current offerings were bad across the board when I went for a test drive.

I probably would have bought an IDx if they’d produced the concept regardless of how bad it was to drive.

But the government wouldn’t grant you that, because they are the other people who buy up this data. 

Been super happy with the Hue lights setup with Amazon Echo dots, with limited exceptions. Setup my apartment about 4 months ago with a Hue 3-bulb color starter pack (came with a free Echo dot) and bought a few other white bulbs to supplement.

I certainly didn’t mean to appear against social safety nets. My point was merely that if we’re going to have social safety nets, there should be a penalty for companies that rely on those safety nets to act as a subsidy to the company’s profitability. Otherwise, you, me, and Joe Taxpayer are subsidizing Uber’s…

BRAVO! I’m going to spend the better part of the afternoon concocting a way to get a coworker to watch this video just so I can steal this joke.

We’ve decided to (try) not become a 3rd world trash-hole by setting a base wage to prevent a rush to the bottom by wage earners. Couple that with social safety net programs in place, and you’ve got the average taxpayer indirectly subsidizing corporate profits.

Maybe poor thermostat technology? A cold engine takes a lot of wear. Perhaps they designed the engine and the during budy design they moved the radiator around the engine bay to find a good spot for the desired engine temp.

I think you’ll find that when it comes to Jeep meets that people with older Jeeps will gently rib people about newer Jeeps being too “soft” or something, but its done with a smile. Even with Wranglers, the CJ people rib the YJ people, who in turn rib the TJ people. It is the circle of life. That said, these are often…

There’s definitely a glut of so-so lawyers coming out of third tier schools, but those lawyers are still putting downward pressure on wages pretty much everywhere except in big law.

Couple that with the fact that average annual cost of attendance at someplace like USC has rising to the $90,000-$100,000 range, those…

“who the hell keeps telling these kids that spending $50k per year to some tiny private school for some bullshit degree is a good investment?”

Job listings. Almost everything requires a college degree, even if having that degree helps you 0% in actually doing the job. When they started slashing the education budget,…

The ROI on some of doctor/lawyer fields isn’t what it used to be. Docs and lawyers who still went to school when it was cheap are making gobs of money, and retiring later and later. (It used to be with lawyers, that alcohol/drugs/stress would give them a heart attack, and they’d realize they were pushing too hard, and …
