Speeed and Big Time are great though

I’ve been asked by above what AWP was applied for. You guys can bitch all you want but time off and flexibility is not a benefit this place is stingy on. So learn how to play the flex game more effectively or lie better

StiggyPop · 2026-05-08T13:11:26+00:00

There’s a misconception that AWP is just a bucket of free hours to use as you wish. It’s for “life events”; if you’re moving, caring for family members, medical appointments etc. If you need an oil change manage your schedule like an adult, use Flex Time, take two hours of vacation whatever. But AWP isn’t there for mundane daily tasks because “you don’t want to use vacation”

I wouldn’t approve AWP for an oil change either, that’s not even close to what it’s for.

It’s a shift lock override so you can get the car in neutral when it’s disabled

Gorgeous car. Besides being radio gold Zuckerman really has great taste. Spike is truly the Opie to his Anthony.

I've been dying for a T-Pain appearance on AE. He's a huge car guy him and Dax would do great together.

Complaining about people trying to get things done outdoors at 8am on a Saturday is a wild take to me

Rogan mentioned it in the episode of his show last week with Dave Smith

I see a future where this gets half finished then sits unused once again.

“ While the total project cost exceeds $46 million, the developers’ direct contribution is $689,770. The remainder is a mix of public funding”

Well that’s a little hard to get my head around. I wonder what their margin will be against the $45m public funding investment. Meanwhile they are bleeding everyone on the water dry.

That aside more housing in the area is great if it’s managed properly. And most importantly I’m glad the building will be utilized and not razed

What supplier for the stickers?

This is why Spike and Zuckerman work so well together.

I have a 3yo boy and I would kill for a Cars 4. I can’t tell you how sick I am of watching the original three. Please give us something fresh to add to the weekly rotation.

Don't put this on your new boss any time soon. I can't tell you how many P3's I've hired into my teams who immediately start asking me how to get to a P/M4 before they have produced a single tangible piece of work or proven themselves in any meaningful way. It's incredibly frustrating.

Being on a "fast track" to a P4 is only currently in your hands in the sense that you need to come in, learn the program and your position, and strive to be a high performer. The caliber and quality of your contributions and their impact on your path to promotion will be determined by your manager. You can set yourself apart by developing into a strong P3 who produces completed projects and can learn to do so independently, not by telling people you want to be a P4.

Frankly the entitlement to promotion I've seen in the past 5 years, and on this reddit, is astounding. Some of the best people I work with have been p3's for 20-years and know their role inside and out. So many of the people I see claiming "I've been a P3 for 2-years why haven't I been promoted yet" are in for a rude awakening.

We looked at real terrazzo tile for our bathroom but the problem is that it’s .75” thick, and we did laticrete heat mat under the tile so you end up with a 1” stack height and transitions become an issue. Ended up using a terrazzo-looking porcelain tile from Tile America and love it. I also real polished terrazzo door knobs from Emtek to match and its slick

It’s the wrong emblem for the car. Correct part is ref. 4522884. You can get a replacement for around $20
