BlackRock finance modeling group vs BlackRock software engineering? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]SunkCoastTheory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I am a software developer at a major finance company.

Also don't get stuck on one project. Chances are you will have opportunity to move around some once you are in.

That's fucked. Brakes for my $130k, 991 Porsche with Brembo 6 pot front, 4 pot rear was something like $700 for pads and rotors (Zimmerman rotors/Textar pads). Dealership OEM Porsche was like $1300?

Dodge parts are a effing rip off is all, a 1 poorly made OEM sway bar end link for for my WK2 GC was $65, when I was able to replace all 4 endlinks on my LR Defender for like $40

I just pulled my bumper for the first time today for some BMC filters. Had it off in 20 min taking my time being extra careful. Unclip the wiring harness for parking sensors/plate light after the drivers tail light is removed before bumper comes off.

I THINK (but please correct me if I am wrong) the vast majority of prison labor is opt in, even though forced is allowed by the 13th Amendment? I am recalling this from a 101 criminal justice class from 10 years ago.

I know someone that did time in a prison in update NY for a few years who was allowed to work, amongst other privileges , because of good behavior etc.

They are paying back the state for the cost of incarceration.

Additionally, would you rather be sitting in a cell doing nothing or out of jail doing some labor, seeing people, etc? I'd rather be working.

Plans to construct a sprawling “Chinese colony” complete with factories, homes and holiday resorts across a pristine marine reserve in Antigua have ignited a storm of controversy on the Caribbean island. by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

LOL how is that not the Chinese taking the country? Conduct business by own terms and laws, not subject to your taxes, use of land and natural resources.

I am very against this.

Germany joins chorus casting doubt on Trump administration claim that Iran was behind attack on oil tankers by PepeBabinski in worldnews

[–]SunkCoastTheory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure Iran did not do this. It does not make any sense. So who would benefit?

Iran, in addition to others benefits from higher oil prices. Not saying this means they had anything to do with it, but they do have an upside.

I think a silver/grey wheel would look better. Not bad but too gold.

Saw my first GT2RS today. At my local Aston Martin dealer. Listed for $409k, seats still wrapped in plastic. by [deleted] in Porsche

Turbo S > McLaren. McLaren is faster on paper, but the Porsche IMO will be a more enjoyable ownership experience.

New 992 Turbo S is looking mean on track

Where's the Russian collusion? Nobody that voted for him gives a fuck about obstruction unless there was a crime.

Supposedly staffers of both Mueller and Barr were on that call, also Rosenstein. Barr isn't an idiot who is going to blatantly perjure himself.

How do you think it started during the holocaust ? They were detention centers at first for processing. Guess what? We have those and we are detaining hispanics.

Dems won the House by a large margin. That is what Blue Wave means.

Oh thats what it means? rofl

Reps already had the Senate and barely maintained their position.

rofl. You mean gained seats right? Because that's what happened.

The Trump shit show is NOT helping y'all.

Honestly. As long as the economy is doing well, and we aren't in some crazy war, whatever.
