It also makes healthy shit taste better.

You can absolutely fuck up a bag of baby carrots and cucumber sticks and a tub of hummus too.

Also I claim the doctors visit as a work expense because in order to get paid I need one :) its a condition of my employment.

Exactly this.

Epstein courted a lot of people, he was a billionaire. He did business with people, I'm even sure most of it was legitimate (If you exclude the likely price fixing, insider trading and generally scumbag billionaire behavior) I'm fine with lining the people who knowingly fucked kids up against a wall, but before we give the order to fire I want to see some proof of guilt. I just dont support convicting people on vibes.

And anyone who claims to would need to dox themselves to prove it. Also proving that they make terrible decisions.

Look at the dude. That is an AMBIGUOUS looking old guy.

Age somewhere between 50 and 80.

Mexican, middle eastern, greek or mixed race maybe just a caucasian dude who gets a lot of sun.

Height "sitting"

The number of chinese parts on non chinese cars makes this slightly easier to stomach.

I made more in sales once I stopped giving a fuck and decided I was quitting (or ideally getting fired) the only question was when.

"I want you to give me your best price! I'm doing my shopping around and I'm going with whoever does me the best deal"

"No offence mate but why would I do that? So you can go to the next dealership with my price and tell them to beat it? Why dont you go to them, ask them for their best price and bring that back for me to beat?

"I cant believe this!"

"We all get them off the manufacturer for the same price. I dont mean any disrespect but I'm better off waiting for customers who desperately just want approval for the finance at sticker price. I'll get you the best deal I possibly can but I'm not doing the work if you tell me you're leaving no matter what."

My wife has a law degree, which makes arguing with her really easy.

Either I dont because I know she will win OR I do and she gives up immediately because she knows I have learned only to wade into arguments when I know I'm right and can prove it.

In all seriousness its not exactly the most simple thing for a layman.

I speak petrolhead, so when you tell me something has a 2000W motor (Light bulbs and plug in heaters are measured in Watts. I honestly believe they do that on purpose to confuse the issue) I immediately do the conversion to 2kw, which is 2.6 hp on an e-bike that weighs 50kg. A 50cc Vespa makes 3.1hp and weighs 100kg. Now you throw a 50kg rider on there and you have a better power to weight ratio on the E-Bike, and shitloads more torque.

The sheer ego in that statement.

Even Americans who are wholeheartedly opposed to whats happening cant stop condescending to everyone else like "If it could happen to the greatest nation on earth it could happen to you"

We know, we have always known. We're no better than the Germans, the Italians or any other nation that slid into authoritarianism or facism. America believed it couldnt happen to them because they are just so exceptional, which is why it worked so god damn well.

Especially when it comes to things like Tvs.

"Would you like the extended warranty out to 5 years for an extra $200"

No because that would have made my $600 tv an $800 tv which will be made to look like a piece of crap by a $400 tv in 5 years.

 

I realised today that I cannot actually remember the last time I felt relaxed. I'm so fucking tired.

 

The memes about it coming starting to pop up in mid october. Its one joke about the song being overplayed, the joke is never original, Ive never seen a creative version of it. If old people have "boomer humor" whats the short term for "Millenials without two brain cells to rub together who will share on any joke that they understand"

The song is well produced overplayed pandering pop garbage. The jokes about it suck more.

 

Ive been looking into what I can put together for the price I can get a Samsung q990f system for and this reciever seems to do everything I want and it has the benefit of being cheapish.

Essentially I want to watch 4k blurays on a 4k tv with good surround sound. I love the "one box, minimal wires, no legwork" nature of the Samsung. That has value to me. BUT its not quite as good and if something in the bar goes dead, the whole setup is pretty much garbage. So I'm exploring my options.

Second hand receivers that arent 15 years old are still demanding half of what that receiver costs me new, and it seems to have everything that someone setting up a budget 4k 5.1 home theater could want. So, thoughts?

 

Ok, I need an honest, no BS assessment on how a Samsung q990d system will compare to a cheap 5.1 (or 7.1 etc) system.

I can get a q990d for $1400aud which includes rear speakers and a sub. Will connest with the samsung tv and its all just ready to go out of the box.

Surround sound setups range from free to $40,000... of course a well thought out setup will be better but I just want to hear the cars overtaking me when I watch Ford Vs Ferarri.

For the "sub 2k" price bracket. As a novice, how much am I leaving on the table really?

 
 

You still look a bit of a dick, but so much less bad now.

 
 

17x7.5,, has a made in england stamping but no definitive stampings for pcd, offset or centerbore. Look like RS Cosworth wheels but arent. Has a retaining bolt hole for the flat bolt hole cover (which I'll post in another comment, which matches some 90s ford wheels) owner says they came off a Peugeot but my fellow french car enthusiasts say they definitely arent an OE Peugeot wheel.

 

Yes, Its a Nazi salute. I just didnt want to load the question.

 

 

If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997... which was 28 years ago this year.

Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.

 

For me "How long could I get away with driving like an ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE all the time before I lost my licence or had an accident." Speed limits, red lights, stop signs... forget them all. Every day I have to drive sensibly and obey the law because without my licence I dont have a job, and every day I see at least one person driving like an absolute moron and I wonder...
