  1. I guess my Audi must be bulletproof. No one has EVER had issues with an Audi.
  2. Fucked up. I was referring to the fact that the article says that they continued to travel upwards for another 3 miles.

    You may also have success in gay bars (no shitting for real).
  4. You know, I've watched the explosion several times, and I wonder where the other "pieces" went. Clearly, you can see the two SRB's careening off in opposite directions, but it doesn't seem like there are any larger pieces remaining. Not disputing the story so much as posing another question.
  5. Couple of thoughts on this; 1: Keep in mind that this IS the same dude who told the world at the beginning of last season that he was the best athlete in all of collage football. His is a humble dude, but he knows what he is, and he has supreme confidence in his ability. 2: Those camps are RIDICULOUSLY competitive. Add to that the fact that he "underperformed" throughout the season and is probably getting told all about how he isn't a real WR/doesn't belong/won't make it in the league...I can see how a guy would have a pretty legit chip on his shoulder. And if I was schooling all these cats, I'd let them know about it too.

    Lol @ "Shannon Dougherty Eye". Are you just now realizing this?
  7. Yeah, there are vines a'plenty on twitter right now of Brax making DB's at the camp look straight ridiculous. Some examples; Every time I watch these, the clip of the "Deez Nutz" guy saying "GOT EEEEM!!!" Roles through my head.

    I agree with a lot of things Bob says, but this ain't one of them. Lol.
  9. Understood on all points. However, I have to think that the mention in the articles that "everyone had obeyed orders to surrender" except the two that were shot implies that they were either firing on LEO's, or threatening them in some way (reaching for a weapon, etc). So, I'm curious to know the details of that exchange, thats all. Did the two criminals draw down on LEO's as they approached? Did they wait until the others had complied with orders to surrender? Did the LEO's come out firing, already knowing that at least one person in the group had essentially said that he was going to go down swinging? I'm not at this point questioning the legality of the actions taken.
  10. Yeah, I'll be interested to learn who shot first, or if the LEO's were responding to an actual threat. EDIT: I've watched the gif of that gomer getting bodyslammed like 50 times, and it just doesn't get old.

    The first four responses had me like :lolguy: Bro, if you can't get an appointment with your PCP for MONTHS, then you should WANT to go find a new one. That's bullshit.

    This thread delivers.
  13. I'm not sure I would label that as "polite".
  14. The crux of the issue.
  15. So, perhaps he SHOULD be living in one of those more "ethnic" hoods?
  16. To pile on the subject of being open to change a bit, my entire life before I was 20 I wanted to be an architect. I pursued that goal relentlessly, to the point that I had two (AA in Architectural Drafting and CAD) degrees along with my diploma when I graduated from Highschool, and was hired at an engineering firm immediately to run their drafting department. 6 months later, I quit. I found that I had no interest in the reality of the job. So, what is one to do when they have literally spent their entire life (what little of it there was at that point) wanting to do something, and then learning that it was a terrible fit for my natural desire/skillset? Well, I spent more time than I would like to admit bouncing, trying to figure out that exact question. Through a combination of networking, deliberation, and just dumb luck, I found myself with the ability to become part of a start up. I took that risk, I was open to a new opportunity, and spent 5 years helping to build that company into one of, if not the, premier energy brokerage firms in Ohio. It was a lot of work, a lot of long hours, but I loved it. When the opportunity came for me to take the next step, to "write my own check", so to speak, I jumped at it, even though it took me to Houston. Now, at 37 and much wiser, I find myself unknowingly doing exactly as Bob suggested. Sales, grinding, learning how this business actually works. I won't be here forever, and my next step will most likely be back to the broker side, working for myself or as a partner in a firm. Tl:dr ; If I had learned what I know now when I was your age, I'd be a millionaire. The most important things I can give you are, "Trust in yourself, your ability", "don't fear risk or chaos, that is where opportunity lives", "Be willing to work harder than anyone else". You got this, man.
  17. Hey guys, I don't normally put my business out there on public forums like this, but I know that experts on CR can help me out. I'm looking to get some advice on how to ask for advice. It seems like I've lost the ability to think critically, and I'm hoping that CR can ascertain more about the multitude of variables that should factor into my decision making process than I, who am actually residing currently in my situation, will be able to. Additionally, I'd love some advice on GIVING advice, as I typically don't allow my own inability to come to a conclusion get in the way of offering my uninformed, knee jerk opinions on other folks personal and/or professional lives. Every little bit helps, guys. TIA!
  18. My thoughts exactly. Thank you GM, for naming an entire car after a trim level on all of your other cars.

    Whoever put an auto in that car should be tied down and beaten with a rubber hose.
  20. Spooge. Damn, why couldn't I have won the powerball?
  21. No, fuck that. You may as well have just asked me to get used to eating Haggis for dinner every night. Bicycles have two pedals, Automobiles have 3. EDIT: Dat blue, though.....:megusta:
  22. Camaro? Mustang? Or are you only thinking sedans?
