I always thought Dwight was the basketball equivalent of Donovan McNabb. Both good players that showed little interest in trying to take their game to the next level. They relied too much on raw talent. They also have the same thin skinned passive aggressive goof off personality. All in all, underachievers who could…

Can someone point me to another industry that gives so much of their worth away so cheaply and then complains about said worth? Between unpaid internships and this “advice” there is a race to the bottom in terms of value. I went to school for accounting and never was I offered or did I offer to give away my services…

With this self driving disaster, and the weather disasters in the news lately it had me thinking. How do self driving cars respond to human traffic commands? We’ve all been in the position where one side of the road is closed so someone directs a certain amount of cars to go and then alternates sides. How do self…

You can’t invest more than you made. A drug dealer who claims nothing can’t just drop a couple thousand in their Roth. The smart thing for them to do is pay taxes on their drug money. At some point they are probably going to get caught, and while a couple years in prison might not bother them Uncle Sam taking their…

It’s not that he took out a loan for the PSLs. It’s not even that he did so at 8%. I am baffled about the 15 years he took it out for. If you are so cash poor that you need to stretch out 8K over 15 years then you can’t afford the parking let alone the PSLs and annual ticket costs. I would say that the underwriting of…

I’ll take one with a Buick Roadmaster Estate please.

Actually to fairly compare paying in full vs a 0% (or any percent) loan you need to factor in opportunity cost. There are lots of things you can do with say 30k. One is to put it all into a depreciating asset. Another is to put it into something that might make you money and then slowly pay off that depreciating…

Be aware that the rate a dealership quotes you, and what the bank quotes you are not the same. A dealership can give your info to their lender who comes back with 3% APR. The dealer can then say the lender quoted 8% and pocket the difference. They do it because if they get you to buy at any rate above 3% that’s extra…

Seems like a good idea until you realize that the players, like the middle class, will never push for something that helps the vast majority because they see their position as just a stepping stone on their way to the next level. Look at the NFL, despite the fact that most are out of the league by something like their…

I have been mined for content. I feel so violated.

True, but sometimes she lets me return the favor and whip her. And that makes it all worth it.

It’s not much of a dream when you have to put a bed in the back.

I live in a free country too, but my house is run by a dictatorship.

The perfect car for a family of 5 with a dog and a dad that hates SUVs. Sadly my wife has an aversion to cars this old.

When I think of Mark VIIIs I think of this.

This is almost like when Gizmodo delivers hit piece after hit piece against Uber. We can all agree that Uber is one of the worst companies around in a business that is pretty bad all around. It just looks bad coming from a company that takes advertising dollars from their number one competition while also treating…

Bumper stickers are for people who have worn out friends and family with their opinions. Those people have blocked them or stopped taking their calls, so they moved on to putting their views out in a way that you can’t just ignore them. They are not interested in actually discussing their opinions, but just letting…

I was always a Dreams Never End guy, but they are all great even the well known songs

So you’re going with the “it’s her fault for dressing like that” defense?

So in other words, give the brat what he wants so you don’t have to listen to them whine. Great solution if you are thinking about the short, like say a babysitter giving in to a child crying for a cookie. But in the long term we all know that it’s best to say no. Not only might the little brat maybe learn a lesson,…
