Well - that’s not true. Gold, silver and platinum have a by-weight value. Gemstones are marked up to all get-out, but precious metals usually aren’t, because they’re a traded commodity.

Lol - not sure we’re saying the same thing? I’m fairly certain that Ford just no longer wanted to play the part.

Last time I went to the ER for a fractured foot - the total bill was $14K - just for the ER visit.

What’s the difference between Nevada’s Vanguard plan and Utah’s Vanguard plan?

For what it’s worth - I don’t think Disney killed Han - I think Harrison Ford killed Han.

As a kid who grew up in the 80s on Star Wars, the original movies felt like theater, the final fight scene in the Return of the Jedi still is one of the most epic and powerful scenes in the genre ever. Everything since has been “fine”. I think I enjoyed Rogue One, but obviously it didn’t have that much impact since I…

So - I don’t have a picture of it, I think this one is listed at nearly $50,000, and my wife’s didn’t cost that much. Bear in mind that very beautiful sapphires can range in price from a few hundred to tens of thousands, but I bet you could find something nice for less than $10,000. It was pretty simple design, I…

I think the problem is that it’s pretty much the ones the story mentions. Moissonite, Rubies, Sapphires. Emeralds aren’t as rugged.

The entire diamond debate is pretty fascinating. Bottom line, they’re overpriced and artificially inflated. All stones have some markup, so it’s never really an “investment,” but diamonds seem like a particularly bad bet. My wife’s engagement ring is a fairly good quality sapphire and it’s stunning.

Could be called an “Estate”. If you’re in urrrrope

Lane discipline and proper merging are two things I’d really like to teach America through LED-display shaming. The merge thing actually really pisses me off because it actually makes merging more dangerous. Passive drivers are the worst.

$350 bucks isn’t going to kill anyone. If someone wants a Shinola for $350 they should get it. It’s handsome enough. I wouldn’t get one, but whatever - a lot of the quality swiss timepieces are overpriced as well at retail - you can usually get a steep discount online. I think the problem people have with Shinola is…

I’ve driven a 3.2 Carrera in traffic at over 100F. If this car is being that sensitive to heat I’d suggest something is wrong. As long as you’re moving these cars aren’t “sensitive to heat”.

Wrong song dude.

Counterpoint: Fleetwood Mac is horrible and everytime I hear landslide I want to stab myself in the eye.

Tucker Carlson getting absolutely destroyed by Jon Stewart is one of my happiest memories. In my entire life.

The only men that have 8mm wedding rings are overcompensating. Thin gold band ftw.

3. hundred. dollars.

3. hundred. dollars.

Air cooled Porsche here. 12 quarts of oil because it’s basically oil cooled, not air cooled, 10 quarts per oil change. I DEFINITELY see a difference in temps and initial cranking ease and speed between oil types and oil weights.

You’d have to calculate based on the interest gained on just the money you’re keeping, for the length of time you’re keeping it. If payments come every month during a semester, a quick and dirty calculation would be whatever tuition and fees are divided by half at the interest rate you’re getting over that period of…
