    Would you like to supersize that?

    While wages in other professions are not keeping up at the same pace. It’s becoming more lucrative to work for a food chain or grocery store than it is to take up a real trade. It’s a sad reality.

    GM finance rates

    I’m in the same boat. I typically change cars every 1-2 years. The lease on my Lexus is about to be up and I think I’m going to buy something a little older this time around because the newer car prices are completely out of wack right now.

    3D Printer drawing software

    I’m not sure about the software since I don’t do any of my own designs but the Bambu is an amazing 3D printer. You’re going to be very happy with it. They are faster than most and don’t require all the tinkering many others require.

    The insurance industry has become predatory

    A couple things. Insurance companies don’t make money on the policies they write. They actually lose money, they make money on investment vehicles that they purchase with the revenue they generate from their loser policies. Most investment vehicles have been struggling and market volatility...

    Oregon VS Colorado ??????????

    Not just for Boulder. The entire state of Colorado. The loss to Oregon was a tough one, we all knew it would be a loss, we didn’t expect it to be that big of a loss. I still love Coach Prime. I love what he is doing for college football and I love what he is doing for the state of Colorado...

    CU vs Oregon

    I expected CU to lose but I didn’t expect it to be this bad. They are out matched and outclassed at every position. The defense has zero answers and the offense can’t move the ball. CU only has 23 yards of offense to Oregons 378. If Oregon doesn’t pull their starters this thing could finish...

    CU vs Oregon

    I do the same thing. I usually start the season with $100, my balance is usually $100 or so at the end of the season. The bets are small but there’s definitely another fun element when you have money on the game even if it’s only $5-$10.

    For the Real Estate Drop in sales and price Naysayers HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS

    In 1990 you could buy a house for under $100K with a 9% interest rate, the median income was $50K a year. Today, that same house will cost you $600K+ with a 7% interest rate, the median income today is $70K. Let’s also not forget that in 1990 you could buy a new car for under $10K. The...

    Do you drink alcohol at lunch?

    It depends on the setting and the customer. If I take a customer to lunch, I let them order first. If they order a beer I’ll order one too. I keep it to one beer when that happens. If I take a customer to Top Golf for lunch, I can guarantee you we’re drinking our lunch.

    Bring back public execution!

    The drivers mom is taking a different stance. 'I don't know why he did this. I don't know if God can forgive this.' This is a really bad deal all around. Multiple families lives have been destroyed because of reckless actions that occurred in a matter of seconds. We live in an incredibly...

    How do you think reinstating student loans will effect the economy.

    It gets even worse. That person with $300K in student debt will have their $55K a year job replaced by a robot or ChatGPT. AI is about to f*ck everything up.

    How do you think reinstating student loans will effect the economy.

    They take student loans pretty seriously. My brother went to one of those vocational colleges to get his A+ certification. He racked up $20K in student loans for the certification and never used it. My brother never paid on his loan. They garnished his wages, he went on Social Security and...

    Anyone see Colorado State VS Colorado University last nite ??

    Things are about to get even crazier in Boulder. Warren Sapp plans to join Deion next year on the coaching staff. A staff containing Deion Sanders and Warren Sapp is going to be awfully difficult to recruit against, these guys are going to have the pick of the litter. Initial estimates...

    Nick Chubb Injury

    Not a good situation. Considering this is the same injury in the same knee for a second time his career is likely over. He’ll end up with $26M of a $36M contract. Add in his previous contract and the guy has made over $30M during his NFL career. Hopefully he was smart, put a big chunk of it...

    F35 on auto pilot but pilot ejects = missing fighter jet

    This entire thing blows my mind. About a year ago I realized I lost my phone. I was already home and had been all over the place that day. I fired up find my iPhone on an iPad and went to town. Find my iPhone is not very accurate. It will give you a pretty good idea where things are but it...

    Anyone see Colorado State VS Colorado University last nite ??

    It’s hard to say how long he’s going to be here. There are a lot of people who believe he will stop coaching when his sons are done playing. Coaching is very hard on Sanders. He recently had a couple toes amputated and may end up losing his entire foot. It’s extremely challenging for him to...

    Anyone see Colorado State VS Colorado University last nite ??

    It’s a pretty exciting time to be in Colorado. Nobody is even talking about the Broncos right now, it’s all CU all the time. I’ve been here since 98, this is the first time CU has been relevant since I got here, it’s a nice change. I think Oregon and USC are going to smoke CU. It’s...

    Used car purchase tips, opinions, pointers, do's or don'ts

    GM V8’s from 14-21 are known for having lifter and camshaft issues because of the active fuel management system. I would check the service records on that vehicle and see if it has had the issue, if so, run away. I had a 16 Escalade and it ate 2 lifters less than 10K miles apart. It’s a...

    How's Business?

    Software After building a large expansion sales team for almost 2 years I was laid off in May of 2022. My entire team was laid off. We were making our numbers but the bean counters saw the writing on the wall and made huge cut backs. Half of our CX group was laid off as well. I struggled...
