Cry me a river.  Nobody forced him to get married.  I'm sick of rich douchebags crying about how they have to pay their wives this or that.  Unless you lived under a rock your whole life, you knew the deal when you got married.

This is a tough subject for me. I worked at rent a center, where taking advantage of people is the whole job. I hated that job. People had a vicious car sales like culture where sales guys would joke about the fact they got someone to agree to pay $5k over the life of the rental for a used sectional couch that would…

What if the truck wasn’t underwater (on the loan)? I know they auction them, so it’s not going to fetch it’s retail value, but if he only owed a few thousand on the truck, the insurance is supposed to pay you the difference between fair market value + repo fee - the balance of the loan.

If you put them tip to tip, you can do four at a time, doubling your efficiency.

The anthem protests are a part of the civil rights movement. You talk about it in the past tense as if it ever stopped.

The private key should be time synchronized, like Google Authenticator. That wouldn’t stop the attack described in the article, as they are simply boosting the signal of the key currently in the area, not recording a simple signal and repeating it at some later point.

My kids aren’t the best people in the world, but I try to remind myself each day, “At least they aren’t Peter Thiel.”

I bought a $300 Festiva many years ago when I was going through a breakup and lost our car.

I wish I had the balls to do the Ron Swanson and just say, “I know more than you.” and ignore the hapless associates.

Other people’s lives are in your hands, too.

I have a road near me as steep as that, but also has a blind 4 way(no signs) intersection half way up that you can’t see from the bottom. Fun times in the winter.

Leno also was a conniving backstabbing prick during his battle with Letterman to take over the tonight show. “Night Shift” really made Leno seem like a shady prick, and it seems he confirmed it with the Conan fiasco.

The study you linked to claiming a link between cellphone use and suicide is BS.

According to the Dirty Money episode about the VW scandal, Europe has a terrible system to control Nox emissions.

They were using a defeat device to falsely reduce Nox emissions on their “smart diesel” engines. In real life tests they emitted an average of roughly 40 times the Nox claimed.

Nobody should call bank vaults impenetrable, because they aren’t. The Antwerp diamond district had arguably the world’s most secured safe depository.

If you’re insuring a $1000 phone, you don’t understand insurance, or you have a phone that is way too expensive for you.
