we are simpatico

 

I would have no problem with tech support from the Philippines or central Europe. Sadly, we're rarely allowed to use them.

 

I had to ask the nice lady to repeat herself 5 times

all I wanted was a refresh sent to my router

But nooooooo

she had to read thru her script

 

Debt.

Loathe it.

Truck and travel trailer are paid off.

0% loan on the Tesla, $20k down. $500/mo

2%-15 year loan on the house. $2700/mo. Trying to pay that bitch off in 12 years

 

I picked the right wife (actually she picked me. I still haven't sent her to the eye doctor about it). She just HAD to have this house - about $50k more than we had in our budget. Whatever - - happy wife happy life, and I'll get over myself about it. But then she sat down and did the books, we knuckled down hard and made huge extra payments, and paid it off in 4.5 years. That last payment took just about all of our savings except for IRAs and 401(k)s, but it made our paychecks way more powerful. That was 6 years ago. We paid less than $20k interest over the short life of the loan.

She's a goodn.

 

Very cool, you guys are badass

 

Hot damn! Most folks don't even pay off a vehicle in 5 years. Our mortage is the only thing we still carry debt on. I'll be paying much more in interest that you did that's for sure.

 

I don't care for it but at work I have to get up at 4:00 to be at work at 5:30.
I do enjoy watching the sun come up as I drive east to Little Rock..

But since January, I enjoy not going to work even more...
Should go back around September or so...

 

Was down to just the house until I bought the new trailer two years ago. New trailer eventually led to new truck. Planned never to have another loan but since I’d been putting a “payment” into savings for a while I had a good down for the trailer. Retired that note late last year.

The truck is a bigger loan since someone had to get a diesel…but will knock it out in a few years. Busy saving a strike fund for a likely walk-out next Sept (2026). If we don’t strike that savings will nearly clear the truck note.

 

Some dipshit on the ford forum is trying to say that kuwait, where he lives, hit's 170°-180° during the summer. He's got some retarded idea that the highest recorded temperature records are done in the shade so in the direct sun it's hotter than the records. He also thinks kuwait is the hottest country on earth.

That level of stupid might be what finally has me deleting my account there.

 

I did the same for the near UPS strike in 2023 and the 15-day strike we had in 1997.
Some coworkers were in a panic, but we told them they should have been saving for it for the prior 3 or 4 years.

We didn't strike in 2023, I didn't think we would anyway.
Like you stated, so we had money saved for other things or just to keep saving..

I'll retire before the current contract expires 7/31/2028.
The CEO is already spouting off about restructuring the pension plans...

I hope y'all don't have to strike, no one wins.
It's just a pissing contest between the company and the Union and the workers are caught in the middle..

 

Troll his ass and tell him that's the same temps you smoke your enemy on.

 

Need one for a blow job too, cuz I'm not into dudes.

 

Sounds like he's just trolling you. Probably lives in his mother's basement in Detroit.

 

Was going to link it, but I'd be side-eyeing a ban hammer. If you want to hear a gloriously insensitive, NSFW, politically incorrect joke about it, google 'Chapelle glory hole'. But not whilst in the office.

 

All the wife, really. If not for her I'd still be some chump living in an apartment, and still driving my '06 (not that there's anything wrong with an '06).

 

Yup. Record in kuwait was 129 and change. He keeps trying to say that's only measured in the shade. He's retarded.

 

And the temp swing between shade and sun isn't 50 degrees, either.

 

I can't remember if I've asked before, but do you ever eat the bass you catch?






I quadruple checked to make sure that I didn't accidentally leave the "B" out of that word.

 

Just egg the guy on and fuel his stupidity. If you can't fix the problem, then be part of it and ensure the downfall.

 

There's no downfall there. They don't really care what is posted. Plus, he's dumb enough he's conflating surface temp with air temp.

They have to shield the thermometer from sunlight otherwise the surface heating of the sun would run the temps insanely high, and he thinks that makes the temperature an "in the shade temp."

 

I'll bet the Kia forums are just off-the-hook.

Edit: "off-the-rails" is probably a better way to phrase that.

 

I had to look that up. Possibly, only one way to find out.

 

Probably a bunch of day drinking soccer moms bitching about how their androgynous purple haired barista with a half shaved head used the vegan oat milk instead of the ultra vegan quadruple filtered oat milk from free range oats that have words of affirmation played on loop throughout their growing and harvesting process, and that has like literally ruined their entire month and has thrown off their whole astrological alignment with their spirit animal's true moon phase intent and their truth.

Yeah. Off the hook.
