    Pregaming for Super Tuesday (go and vote!!).

    It was Feinstein, through her husband Richard Blum. They're both dead, so who knows who or to what extent is the stake in the company (Tutor Perini Corporation) at this point. Regardless of now, there was a clear conflict of interest in many projects.

    Decals!

    KSJO, when it played Rock n Roll! 😎. Like 95% of other hard rock stations in the US, it bit the dust and changed to Spanish programming. I have a lot of stickers, just very few actually used. Still get pumped when a stickers is in the box of goodies. Some vendors throw in candy now too...

    Docking Station- 3 monitor set up for home office? File access, sharing etc?

    I use a Dell thunderbolt docking station connected to two monitors with company laptop. One big monitor might be worth looking into, or just a big TV depending on preference. Office 365, OneDrive, and SharePoint. I have OneDrive on the iPhone and can access every file on both personal...

    A huge fan of Music and "Old Vinyl" this is from a local store ............

    Is there a backstory at all? Is the owner just pissed at half the population or what? Way to drum up business! Maybe they'll have a name change soon: No Traffic Records

    Supercross tickets

    Peacock has every second of every Supercross and Motocross race. Another sport I'm priced out of watching in person. I just can't afford to pay crazy ticket prices. Certainly not as a family of 4. Bummer, as in-person SX and MX is awesome.

    Staggering amount of "new driver stickers" in the Seattle area..

    Ton of those stickers in DFW area. 99.9% are adults and from India. They're terrible drivers and use the stickers to gain some sympathy.

    Got Diddy'd - Smashed My Rear-End, Total Loss.

    Would it be worth the effort to buy it from insurance and repair it yourself? Get a new frame and Box Assembly from GM (or salvage yard)? Looked like a nice truck!

    Is Print Dead?

    Plenty of printed material still shows up in our mailbox daily. Print isn't dead in Texas. lol. We get the Sunday newspaper, which is still a decent size and sports page has stellar coverage of North Texas high school football. I did subscribe to WSJ 6 days a week, which I didn't have time...

    Performance automotive warehouse ?

    PAW's catalog was massive. Great dreaming material. I bought an unassembled 350 Chevy engine kit from them in 1998 for my 1971 Chevelle. My buddy helped me asemble it that summer. It's still going strong, never had any issues with it.

    Into The Fire: The Lost Daughter

    Finished watching just before OP posted. Wild story. The biological mom was spot freakin on.

    Better get out that suit and tie again

    Except inventory counts, we've been remote since the pandemic began. The 20 years prior I would visit client's 3 to 5 days a week on assignment, then work from home otherwise. Startup companies were allowing more flexibility pre-pandemic for their workers. Since the pandemic, their...

    I figured it out...

    Probably 2/3rds of NASCAR Cup drivers can't even change the oil. You're expecting the average young adult to tinker with things, be it a car, bike (motor or non-motor), home projects, etc?? Youth are more interested in YouTube, buying new stuff, and replacing it every few years to keep up with...

    COST of EVERYTHING is going thru the ROOF

    Not sure why this has turned into a pile on C-ya thread. He is a real person. RiverDave and others know him personally, from what I've picked up on here over the years. Not sure I see the fault with C-ya. People like him are well off enough to keep spending while everyone else pulls up the...

    Bait / food for mice???

    Black licorice candy. Orkin mentioned this years ago. Never tried it myself as mice drop dead after feeding at the bait boxes at exterior of house.

    Question for the inmates, weird assignment

    No way. I'd have to have a discussion with teacher, principal, district. Any/all if necessary. I let a lot of stuff slide, but not this. I can't imagine what context would make it appropriate to have a reenactment with high school students for a class. And a competition? I'm really at a...

    Looking to buy an RV and need advice

    I'd suggest renting the versions you're looking to buy. While it may be a 'waste' of money, so will buying an RV you end up not liking. My case in point is when my dad bought a new 2003 Gulfstream Super C w/Duramax. I want say 34 or 36 feet. Just over $100k and 1.99% interest. He slept in...

    1990 IROC Camaro with six miles on the odometer

    I agree, doesn't make money sense. Maybe for a select few models, depends on the holding costs. I'm not sure why people do this, but it seemed pretty popular during the late 80's through late 90's. With many things, not just cars. Everyone thought things would be worth a fortune in 30 years...
