Exactly. You want these same people designing cars, airplanes and bridges? Maybe not. As an engineer with an MBA, I would say "financial engineering" isn't exactly demanding from a math/science standpoint. Engineering will never provide rock star salaries. If that's what these people are...

At least some moneypits can be a lot of fun ;). Is you customer doing the paint too? You have any idea when you think you'll be done with it? I don't know if I'll ever take it that far, but I've only had the car for 9 years, so we'll see. It'll never be a showcar; I just truly enjoy the way...

I hear No_Vas would be happy to set something up in his man-cave. Wear old clothes and bring a respirator and a facemask.

Cash4gold is mining the stuff from the public for a lot less than that.

Congrats! I'll be waiting for the invite to my indoctrination to all things Big Lebowski.

Completely agree. The 28-30% was a number thrown around by companies that were doing the lending, the profits from which were tied to the size of the loan. It answers the question of "What's the most we can squeeze from this ____ before he/she runs dry?" Plus that number doesn't seem to...

What exactly are your motivations? Are you concerned about what your energy costs will be out-of-pocket, or is it more a matter of principle? A rating or a label are nothing more. What qualifies as "Energy Star" today probably wouldn't pass the standards 2-3 years from now. Do you know what...

The sarcasm is best when you imagine the avatar speaking the words. ;)

No worries, I don't live anywhere near Irvine. And to be clear, I'm just singling out the In-N-Out I went to. If there was another one close by I would go there instead. This one is always crowded...up until the minute they close every night, as far as I can tell. We thought if we went in...

I just had the worst fast-food experience at In-N-Out, so much so that I'm not going back, at least not to the one near me. As I alluded to before, I have been noticing a degradation of quality there over the past year. I was car # 10 in the drive-thru when I arrived. I kid you not, it took...

Fight on, T-man. Can't keep a good Trojan down.

Congrats! As excited as you are, that's probably about how nervous your beau has been lately.
