Welp, I can officially strike the new Outbacks off my list for my next wagon. I just rented a new, pretty loaded one in "Touring" form for about a week. Base engine, which is gutless enough for such...

Can't wait to do that on the next go-around! Bring it, mofos!!!

Thanks, and you are absolutely right in your thinking that this role did NOT need more protection than the big tech companies. Non-competes have been used more as a tool to intimidate workers more...

This is most welcome news! Some of you may recall my recent HR battle for a prospective role I ended up turning down due to their "non-negotiable" bullcrap NCA. I wonder if I should hit them up and...

In case you haven't seen it, check out "The Founder." Pretty wild story. Michael Keaton was great in it. The original "McDonald" owners got completely dicked over! Poor guys.
...

Yup, but the games are unapologetically so. The show is of course derivative of the Fallout series, which itself is inspired by their own previous creation, Wasteland. Interplay's post-apocalyptic...

Yup! See: Post #2

Think this may have been mentioned somewhere here already, but this one is classic and sadly representative of modern hiring practices.

Last time I went through a McD's drive-thru while travelling, I saw a Big Mac meal for about $15 and I noped on out of there and left empty-handed. Just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Nah. We have a right to be grumpy, cuz we're all old enough to witness it's devolution from fast and cheap to sloth-paced slow and ludicrously expensive. In & Out has definitely taken the crown from...

Yup! Not only do they ALWAYS seem to screw something up (even on simple orders for one person), they've all become unbearably slow. They have 2 windows (which used to be one to pay, one to pickup),...

Is all that really still the case if you get one of those slick premade wiring harnesses? Was perusing Crutchfield and their kits seem pretty plug-and-play. Looks REALLY easy on the Tundra.

Wait up. Was SUF the infamous Hemingway alias this whole time?! O.o

I do believe the perpetual road construction is ENTIRELY on purpose. Lines the pockets of the fatcats in the good ol' boy's club. See: Michael Douglas' excellent rant in Falling Down...

...

Who's ready for Saturday night?! This one always get the party started.

Ever wondered what the eclipse would look like from orbit? So cool!

Get her a [gently used] MB with the intelligent LEDs! I know I bragged about them plenty already when I acquired my wagon, but now that I've had it since last summer, I am STILL blown away by these...

Well that was neat. Was cloudy unfortunately but was still a trip to see everything get dark as night there for a bit. Odd how the animals and everything gets super quiet. All you could hear for a...

You got this, homey! Thanks so much for doing this. We all super appreciate it. Can't wait to go pick up my winnings! :D

Any time, bud. See you at the most epic mag gathering of all time we'll all be attending after our big win tonight!!!

YES!!! Just read about it here: https://collider.com/alien-theatrical-rerelease/

The original Alien goes down for me as one of THE best sci-fi/horror films of all time. A true cinematic...

Welp. Guess I'll have to add one to the stable to go alongside my new RS6, E63S, and V70R after we win teh jillions tomorrow night! :D

I'm loving this scholarship trend. You guys rock. I'd hate for us to be swimming in our Scrooge McDuck money bin whilst our homeys are still out there somewhere dumpster diving for old duct-taped...

Yup! Enemy Mine FTW!!! Freaking loved that movie as a kid. I seriously need to rewatch that one. Roots was another highlight for me. Wonderful show. Gossett was a great actor for sure. RIP.

Seriously! The naysayers are missing the point here! This message is for them...

Of course! My pleasure to share the love a bit. Would be SO rad if we won and got to surprise those guys out of the blue with a few million buckazoids. :D

Sure! 220 221 whatever it takes!...

Just sent my coinage for the 4/6 drawing! Plus a few extra bucks for scholarship tickets to cover Buzzworthy and Harry! Now Harry can build that sweet lakeside mag chateau on his island for us! ;) ...

Interesting! I was a big fan of Ex Machina. Bought the BD for the great DTS:X track. Also enjoyed Annihilation of course. He also wrote the screenplay for Danny Boyle's excellent Sunshine and 28 Days...

This looks like a pretty clean V70R M66 with only 96. Appears to be pretty well maintained with all the big 100K stuff done already. Who wants it?...

The fact that this crew's doing jillions scholarships really does show that when you look past all our usual poo flinging, this crowd really is full of great peeps! Appreciate you all.

Did my first scheduled maintenance job last week on the E wagon aside from the couple oil changes I've done already. Air filter was a piece of cake and actually a pretty bomber design. SPARK PLUGS...

I know we all have fun shooting the breeze about dreams of buying sweet wagons and what not, but in all seriousness, if we actually won, can you imagine all the good we could collectively...

In! Thanks again, Dan!

Been a minute so hopefully I sent it to the right place, but I think I'm in! Haha. With the pot being so big, now we can fully fund our wagon fetishes with hangars full of RS6s, E63s, AND classic...

Hahaha. We on for BBI 2025 Palm Springs then? Perhaps we can get a group rate for all us old fogeys getting scoped whilst being fed grapes and fanned with palm leaves by beautiful women.

In again for 3/30, baby! Thanks again, Dan. You da man. I know this is a huge PITA, so we really appreciate it.

LMAO. For sure. Sorry bout the thread drift, entertaining as it's been. I'll go ahead and get 'er scheduled once and for all, or at least order that kit. Thanks for the advice, everyone. When we're...

That would be the most insanely epic result of a colonoscopy. Would make it alllllll worth it. Speaking of which, I'm long overdue for the same but don't want to spend the $$$, so could REALLY use a...

In!!! $2 sent for 3/27 PB. Hope whoever won last night's MM is wise about their newfound fortune. Good for them tho. Now it's our turn. :D

This thread is going to take a wonderful new direction as soon as we win teh mega jillions tonight. :D

Numerous midlife crises averted.

You know you're talking to a group of skiers, right? Pickle ball's the least of our worries. Haha.

Aaaaand that's a problem? It's still plenty for me to kick back IRL while I take my fake business to the next level!

In! Thanks again, Dan. See you all at our upcoming meeting for the hostile takeover of the YC.

Oh yeah. Good question. I was assuming we were in for teh mega jillions but with both pots being pretty substantial, I'm down for whatever Dan & Co. wants to do. :D

In!!! Thanks for herding us cats, Dan! Super cool of you.

Hold up. Your guy's only going to charge $350 labor for a timing belt job on that? That's a steal!!!

FWIW, if the timing belt's due, then when you do that, it's also recommended to knock out all...
