There should not need to be haggling in a retail environment. They make it that way, and it means someone who doesn’t want to be confrontational gets to pay more. They reinforce bad behavior because they reward it.

It’s like being in a car crash in slow motion, knowing everyone else in the car is saying “at least some of us will survive” and as a result won’t stop it.

Probably the guy who started body world.

All used purchases are a gamble. Much of the time you would likely come out ok, but I’m not sure I’d buy from a rental. I’ve known folks who worked at rentals, and the idea that they maintain the fleets on time I’d say isn’t the case. A lot of cars go over their mileage for maintenance, and to me the most fragile time…

I wouldn’t reminisce about an old teacher sending me a pile of floppy dicks.

Was this done inside the dealer or out on the lot as the family perused? I feel like 10 cars scratched would be more than in the showroom where a salesperson would be. 

There is a lot in this world to worry about from a privacy perspective, I feel like when uninformed fear mongering is added to the mix it just dilutes the message.

I at one point was flippant with it. My only real exposure was South Park and I didn’t think much of it. Then I worked with a guy who matched the stereotype and I found out from him that where he grew up it was a legitimate pain point. He had people who would shove potatoes into his locker slot and to all manner of…

If we want to look at this like it’s his career, how many other careers can you be caught doing unethical things and still be able to keep your job or even sometimes stay in your field? Not many. If it’s this important, don’t do things that jeopardize it.

Complete freedom to work as you please would be setting one’s own wage. Honestly I feel like they could get around a lot of this by having the ability to set a ride price but make them have a fixed amount paid to the company. Higher priced contractors would price themselves out, except in the lesser used areas with…

The would rates play into “How it will be done.”

You sound like me. Nothing was able to fix mine, had to reformat.

I suspect a recent update basically broke my entertainment center machine. Couldn’t find the boot disk information and consistent with all other times I have had windows fail not a single one of their tools worked. Roll back version? Nope. Fix issue directly? Nope. Reload checkpoint? Sorry not happening.

Not a matter of need. Lots of cards are just that way now.

It is less about mom and pop, and just larger distributors who cater specifically to what you are buying. Rockauto (I would guess its not an option for you since you used euro for your quoting) for instance when I bought by brakes for my Jetta and Jeep probably had 30+ options of rotor, at varying…

The only way you should “remove your shoes”, is when they are on your feet and you are exiting the aircraft.

I used to actually get this on my Wii U. Wonder if the hardware used for the sticks is similar between both systems, or at least the general engineering of them.

A foot of water also can turn into a jet stream of it right into your intake. Lots of youtube vids of guys in bro-dozers locking their engines in what is fairly low water levels.

When I was younger I owned an XJ Jeep Cherokee, and I was commuting home through an area that had been hit by torrential rain and high winds. The main road was at a stand still from flooding and the lights at intersections being out. So thinking I’ll be smarter I’ll take roads through neighborhoods and I go through…

I didn’t really understand why they had those two exist at the same time in general and I’m not surprised that in the end the Air won out on longevity. The Pros are so thin these days that its diminishing returns on going thinner for what was the replacement Macbook, and I think the design of the Air allowed for more…
