Just brought a used car 2 months ago to replace my 18 year old car. It died the other day and got the call today that the engine is done... I am absolutely this person right now.

Like this bozo even enjoys symphony orchestra's.

Yes!

The other part, kids are hit with tons of extra fees these days. Nothing is included, everything cost extra, and it adds up. For example I don't think there is a week that goes by were his school is not asking for donations or setup some dumb event that requires more money. Like pajama day cost $2 if they want to participate... Sports is not only a fee anymore but you have to pay for everything extra and uniforms as well which is funny because they are normally sponsored which i thought meant that business donated the money or uniforms so we didnt have to. Everything is nickle and dimed these days, which also doesn't help.

Read the stuff below. What a super lucky person... seems like every step of his life lands him in front of a better opportunity that quickly turns into a bigger success. His point about how the computers were cheap and comparing it to the wood costs is interesting, but the difference here is 10 to 15 years later he may have to replace all those computers with new ones while the wood is basically forever. I think that's the worst part, knowing that all that money spent will just be obsolete soon enough and do you keep doing it? If you got the money I guess the answer is absolutely!

Then poured the juices back into the glass to drink the new Guinness creation!

Seriously though, that looks really good, and thanks for the reminder to pick up some to cook this week as well.

Honestly , I wonder how they got 37 and what they are. My guess is that most were really small software updates like you said. With that said, here is the list of the ones that I heard about. Out of the 6 listed, 5 were exclusive to the truck, and it looks like 5 of the 6 were actual recalls.

I'm not sure how people are ok with that, considering the price and how awful the reviews are about how it's built and drives. For comparison, I have now owned 5 cars in my life and had a total of 3 recalls. The total cost of the 5 cars combined is 26k, and that's over 25 years. My one and only point is I can't believe people are willing to throw 90k at a car full of problems when 90k should be buying you a well-built luxury car with peace of mind.

Looks like a Nintendo DS a bit.

Although the idea sounds cool, is it really something people want or will use? It just seems like a lot of work for something so trivial. The coin could just be a button, right?

One can only hope this deal falls through just like the 2 others recently.

Pretty much. I watched my favorite coffee hut (literally a hut that you drive up to) go from $3 large like 5 years ago to $4, then within a year hit $5. At that point, I stopped going, although funny enough, i did go there today since it was convenient and it's now $5.50... I laughed and said yeah I'm definitely done now. As much as I like coffee, it's now a high-end luxury item that I can no longer afford even occasionally due to everything else raising as well.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Yeah, that makes much more sense. I absolutely agree, sadly most places draw the line on ever allowing that to happen. Although I do remember reading that some states have minimum wage tied to it which was pretty shocking, despite making perfect sense.

When i read the article, it stated it will not touch grants as that is another department, but the person even says they are skeptical.

What exactly will be impacted? I honestly have no idea what they currently do outside extra funding for states to allow everything to function properly. Also what are the American people benefitting from this exactly? As far as were concerned it's no change to us, so where is all this money going now, outside the pockets of some rich person? So gut everything and higher our taxes? I'm assuming state taxes will need to go higher to supplement more money for schooling which means even higher taxes again? I'm super thrilled my kids are the perfect age to see exactly the impact this will have on them soon... I wish I could leave so bad.

I see both arguments for this as valid. I get that you wanna stay and live your entire life in the place you owned forever. The reality is taxes are needed and will increase forever, which are important to keeping your state functioning (as long as the people in charge are doing a good job and actually using the funds wisely). I wonder what state they are from because I know property tax can be wildly different depending upon that. I'm sure they don't want to, but there are like 6 states that currently offer no property tax to seniors over 65 and 10 that offer exemptions based on income and age. At the same time it is good to see them complain because maybe they can try to sway the state to also offer the no property tax benefit to seniors as well. Still if he is hurting that much, then it's probably easier to sell the place and move to another place that will allow him to be better off with less worrying. It's a valid option even if he doesn't agree with it.

Considering i get premium Peacock for like $6 a month after discounts I agree. I get the live channel plus a ton of other stuff and other pre-made channels to watch. Some sports as well plus the Olympics when they are relevant. Asking $8 just to remove some ads sounds awful. I will stick to using Firefox on mobile and pc with ublock origin which removes all ads.

I came here to say the same thing!

I'm pretty sure the reason is not the reason. Personally I feel like this excuse is just a push to tank smaller businesses so they can either fail altogether or be sold dirt cheap to the biggest corporations to eliminate competition and also fill the pockets if the biggest companies with even more useless money. Same thing for housing, push people out so companies can buy up as much land as they can.

IT Networking in Healthcare. Used to be administration side but recently moved to networking a year ago. Had the same job now for 19 years and it was my first job out of tech school where I worked help desk for the first 5 years. Used to do a lot on the telecom side but now it's mostly setup firewalls, program switches, and know cloud services to setup virtual networks. I know I am underpaid at 87k, I am being promised a raise soon with hopes of getting to 95-100k but even that is below what I should be around. I may have a new opportunity later this year which looks to be around 110-120k if I can pull it off. I want to move on not only because the pay but also because going 19 years at a place that's 24/7 with bare minimum holidays takes its toll on you since your basically on call all the time. Outside that the job it's self is fine and challenging at times.
