  1. Explain that last sentence' date=' please. I don't follow. Are you speaking of 'relativity' ??[/quote']

    I'll take a stab:

    We all CONNOT be completely equal. We each have different talents, and not all of them are as "important" or "marketable", therefore, some will be earning lower wages.

    Should the high school kid throwing the mystery meat into the tacos at Taco Bell be making the same as the guy that went to school for years that designed the equipment that said taco parts are stored in?

  2. I've been there, and the real Irish experience, at that. I went for work, with my old job though. I can't really remember for sure where to tell you to go. I know the place was in County Mayo, the town was called Ballina. I stayed at a hotel (nothing like a US hotel, not a chain, but a local place!) for a couple nights, then at a B&B that was above a bar for a couple more nights, then back to the Hotel for the rest.

    It was a great experience. I got to spend some time with a couple families to give me something to do on the weekend, went to a football (like our Soccer) game, even went to a (closed for the day) pub to watch the F1 race, to another just to hang out, there were even people playing old Irish type music. Not the typical tourist stuff at all!

    Getting to work with machinery I knew well, training the locals to operate it, and fix and maintain things, was cool, too.

    I wish I could remember it all!

  3. I don't have anything above 10% and most of it is under 5% In this shitty economy I do love that more people are fixing thier cars. Before if a car needed 2-3 grand of work people would just get rid of them but now they are fixing them.

    :plus1: Somewhat. Then you have the ones that just let the car sit, instead of fixing it. Or the ones that have you fix it, then let it sit at the shop forever, after the shop has put parts and labor into it. We have a few like that.

  4. Been using it on a PC since the CTP was available. It's worked well for me. I've never really had any issues with Vista either, other than a couple of the betas ran really slowly, and even the shipping version never got back the performance that some of the earlier betas had. Windows 7 has been very consistant and stable for me. Unfortunately, that's not my primary machine, so I don't get to use it extensively, since the software we use hasn't been fully tested and verified with Windows 7.

  5. Damn. I bought you were over that fan comment. LoL.

    Over, yeah. Forgetting? NEVER!!! :lol:

    I see the above described sub humans alot in the car audio dept. at Best Buy. :D

    Pretty much the last place I go to buy car audio stuff.

  6. I'll start a new thread for a possible get together at the place in Cleveland Hts. Some highlights of the pub: (from their facebook page )

    "Dress as your favorite politician, train-wreck celebrity, or whatever you can think of.. be creative because whoever has the best costume will win $150 CASH! Bring your friends because the contest is judged by crowd participation!!!

    Happy Hour til 9pm as Always-- $4 Import Drafts, $4 Cosmos & Wine, $3 Long Island Teas & $8 pitchers of Smithwicks & Harp"

    Irish beer on tap! NICE!

  7. I've seen cars that were totaled, but looked pretty decent, only scratched up. If it shoves the impact beam just right, there's a lot that can be tweaked out of shape! I would make sure to get a professional estimate (or 3) to make sure it's not that bad.

  8. Actually the only people I see still wearing Shants are older tubby white men with an old skool Justin Timberfake jawline beard and fake gold chains on top of 4XL jersey length polos.

    Looking in the mirror? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    J/K Sorry man, couldn't help myself!

  9. Did you get pics? Like with your cell phone?

    Excellent reminder! That's the first thing I would be doing, especially the other party's plates, and possibly even the VIN of their vehicle (in case the plates are fictitious) and if you can manage, a pic of the driver.

    What a way to put a damper on what should've been a good family fun time. Did you still get your punkins?
