Disagree. Most companies vest their equity positions over 2-3 years, and the max I’ve heard is 5. They also typically vest in percentages, which can be withdrawn immediately upon vesting.

I agree, 100%. My wife always gets down on herself because she makes X% less than me, but she works for an EXTREMELY successful healthcare cloud company, and has a boatload of stock (not options, equity). Averaged out over five years, she makes roughly the same amount as me. Averaged out over the two year vesting…

First, let’s bring you out of the grays.

Exactly. I’m on the HOA for my subdivision, and we were told that a contractor was going to be installing FTTH for AT&T U-Verse (which I’ve had before - not as good as Fios, but on a different plane than Comcast) by the end of 2016. Well, two months into 2017, and still nothing from the contractor...

You’d have better luck going to Monk’s, getting super drunk on expensive beers, and demanding that they pay your bar tab.

I called Comcast a few months ago, to bitch about price, and they told me to pound sand. A few days later, they called back, and asked if I was interesting in upgrading from my 25 MBPS service to their 75 MBPS service (with basic cable, which I wouldn’t have used), for the same price-ish. I agreed, and they said…

That’s Naval Air Engineering Station (NAES) Lakehurst (my father-in-law lives around the corner). Not likely. Anything that’s there is transient, and wouldn’t be tasked for intercepts, or armed, even for an exercise. McGuire is an airlift command, and doesn’t have any tenant fighter squadrons. All the other bases…

Are you sure they were Hornets? The ANG flies F-16s out of Atlantic City, and the Navy doesn’t typically handle intercepts.

What about all those ‘shovel ready projects’ during the Obama Administration. I’m not defending Trump, just stating that billions and billions of dollars were spent on unnecessary projects throughout the US to stimulate the economy, while needed work was left to wither on the vine.

Remember that time the US tried to replace the Minuteman III missiles with the Peacekeeper missile, which was deployed from 1986-2005, but then were decommissioned due to the START II Treaty (which the US never signed)?

I don’t even know where to start. It was delivered with dents in the roof and passenger door. Those were fixed via paintless dent removal at the dealer’s expense. The Sync 3 Nav system started failing the day I brought it home. The map would just die, and I’d get a message that there was a navigation fault. The…

I almost went Guard for my 2016, but went the complete opposite way, and picked Race Red. Given the issues I’ve had with my car, which was special ordered, I kinda wish I’d have taken a chance on something else.

No, it wasn’t. It was still an S197, just with some suspension and brake upgrades.

And a star for you, just for your commenter handle! Great reference!

According to Wikipedia:

I’d hit it, and I’d let it hit me back.

SVT Contour with the 3.0L block from the Taurus/Sable/Escape and the 2.5L SVT heads from the Contour plus a beefed up 5-speed with a Quaife LSD = awesome.

A few months ago, I was driving home from work, along the route shown below, which is a wide road, which then has an on-ramp to I-526, in North Charleston, SC. This whole area is frequented by trucks that are delivering wood chips for the paper plant (upper right of the picture). I turned onto the bottom of the ramp,…

Kinda like how Chevy puts a Corvette logo on their prototype racer?

Yeah, but CAFE standards aren’t going away. They need to get lighter, as evidenced by the amount they’re investing in their trucks. For the Mustang to make sense at 475 HP, they need to be down to 3400 to make it fuel efficient enough to avoid the gas guzzler tax and meet CAFE.
