Yup. Definitely the alley. No way it could NOT be that.

Actually, I’d wager that it was the fact that they “marketed” their products to the younger buyer... but then made them so expensive that the younger buyer couldn’t afford them. The bare bones xB starts at 19 grand, with a typical configuration closer to 25. I still shudder at the thought of spending 25k on a car. My…

It’s never as clear or as simple as that though. Because a criminal case has more severe punishments and a mostly binary result (guilty or not guilty) the requirement for what can and cannot be used is a bit more rigid. However, since a civil case will only cost you money, and that it could either cost a little or a…

No... that’s definitely on-topic. Plus, being able to use the nicer model is the equivalent of eating Cheerios for those seven years... as opposed to Oaty O’s day after day after day.

It’s the other way around. The case *should* go forward until someone can provide a valid reason why it cannot. The Cosby team threw that up as a reason why it shouldn’t go forward, and the current judge said it wasn’t a good enough reason to stop the proceedings.

But DO you have a piece of paper that says Home Depot only paid $2.18 for it? Chances are you don’t, and you don’t go out of your way to find one before you go shopping for light bulbs. And you don’t pester the guy stocking the shelves to give you a better deal than what you can at the other Home Depot down the…

I concur. Pics or GTFO.

Man I’d pay good money to get my XP laptop back up to spec. But the problem is that they’re never upgradable past a new HD, a bit of memory and maybe a handful of Mhz on the CPU. After five or so years there’s an entirely new style of processor and they’re not even using the same word to measure disk space.

The first thing that I think of when I hear “netbook” is “eye strain”. And there’s no amount of money that you could pay me to put up with that on a regular basis.

I’m in the 10 year club myself. My current laptop is about 5 years old, and I have no intention of replacing it in the next 5 years. My laptop before then was a Dell I bought in the 90s.

Counterpoint: a laptop with top of the line specs won’t be seriously outdated in a matter of months.

That’s like saying you should thank the NCAA for the success of the Olympic Basketball team. Leagues and national teams have nothing to do with each other.

Not... exactly. The problem is that there are no apples to apples to compare with men’s and women’s soccer in the US.

As I mentioned earlier... I really doubt you’ve ever headed into the hardware store and said “I know you only paid $2.18 for this $4.00 light bulb. I’ll give you $2.10 for it.”

He may have haggled on a used Saturn, but the dealership would lose their franchise if they haggled on a new one. I’m not saying it didn’t happen. I’m just saying that nobody went from Saturn dealer to Saturn dealer cross-shopping on the same vehicle because of the policy.

Yes and no. The thing that Scion (and Saturn had before them) was that it was a rule across the board. You couldn’t go into one dealership to get a price quote and then use it to shop for the same vehicle at other dealers.

Ask to speak with the Office or Clinic Manager. They’re the ones in charge of personnel in the clinics. The scheduling aspect of your visit is typically done without any interaction by the doctors themselves.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with getting a second opinion. But keep in mind that an orthopedist is first and foremost a surgeon. They’re always going to look at problems with a “will surgery fix this?” mindset. If it’s something that you don’t think surgery is appropriate then I’d suggest looking to see if…

Let’s also ignore the concept that some frogs can actually change from a male to a female. This was not just randomly dropped in there for shits and giggles.

I’m pretty sure the dude lives behind the movie theater.
