I don't like DCTs/DSGs. Both my TDI and M3 suffered from similar shitty "normal" operations such as. Low speed clunking noises Slow engagement from a dead stop if you immiatly get on the gas Clutch shatter with rapid engagement and re-angement making your head bob at partial throttle (wor...

It's hard to put in hours when you are busy stuffing your suitcase with ziplocks of cold chicken. That’ll be me this weekend prepping for my trip to DC. Got a gold’s gym 1.6 miles from my hotel at least. I’ll likely hit that on Tuesday, unless we finish meetings early in which case I’ll jet the 10 ...

I can acknowledge that my view point is also coming from a job where you get absolutely nothing for working over your 40hrs/week, so it’s very easy for me to say that fitness doesn’t negatively impact job performance or salary at all. Regardless I think it's kind of a bullshit excuse, particularly ...

That is most definitely not the case in this region. Top producing male realtors are good looking, buff and 80% gay. That's how they sell real estate to other gay dudes.
The other 20% of the time they’re crushing mad amounts of puss.
No man. They are not.

Childbearing takes quite the toll on the female body. To the point us men will never understand. I’ve seen my wife deal with that after she gave birth and still dealing with it four years later.

I always wonder if chicks are actually physically attracted to the dad bod, or if they just “like” it because it takes pressure off of them to keep a fit figure as well.

How much of a pay bump? Not sure. Apparently they can only bump base salary up to $10k at a time. So no more than that. Likely more like $5k, but yearly bonus target goes from 15% of base salary to 20%. Additionally, the city wage tax no longer would apply and my effective tax rate would drop by 2....

So compared to an m3 imo the CTR is a far more usable aka throwaway car you can put some miles on without excessive maintenance/cost worries. Imo I would feel much more comfortable taking it to 100k than an m car… better mpg, cheaper parts, better dealers. And probably close to the amount of fun… y...

What kind of plant?
LNG
Its a plant that is always on call but essentially never operates. I think its been used twice in the last 3 years. Downside is its all hands on deck when its online which could be at any time of the day or night.
How much of a pay bump?
