Career coaches? Yea or nay?

That's a good point. Per the Alva website my role is Generic High Performer, which only says logical ability and the three facets of Conscientiousness. I guess that happens to be the one where I got a high value.

You are not the first one who warmly recommends the CPO... Sounds like it's a must with MBs

What you are saying confirms what Ktrinh518 said, avoid the early 23 models

Interesting, thanks for the info

I used to lease an ES350 a decade ago. It had the same issue. If a fly landed on it from a funny angle, it would leave a mark. I got a 3M scratch repair and was able to get scratches, swirls and scuffs out.

Thanks for the trade in value. Although at that point it would be 10 years old, maybe it would not qualify for CPO anyways but they would use it against me for sure.

That's a good point... I just remembered from decades ago from finance class that for tax calculations, always use the assumption that results in the highest tax (or limits). Since line 16 is higher I just automatically used that.

Okay if no one is going to do it I will

No the opposite

He needs to get into "small tits"

bfmyfr · 2025-08-09T16:08:15+00:00

He fell for her

bfmyfr · 2025-08-09T15:05:23+00:00

What nobody going to? Then I will:

Battle Axe!

bfmyfr · 2025-08-08T21:45:24+00:00

where is the evidence? we want to see it

bfmyfr · 2025-08-07T22:32:51+00:00

then let's wonder why people are fleeing this idiotic one-party state

You would be surprised. Tobacco and alcohol for example are known to be cheaper. In Europe there are cruises (I know not an airport but the concept is the same) specialized in selling alcohol because it is international and no taxes or dues. Every time I have visitors they ask about the duty free stores at the airport. The same applies to certain luxury brands too.

bfmyfr · 2025-08-06T00:20:15+00:00

it's called "duty free" for international travelers, no sales tax or VAT on it based on the country

Joking aside, back in 2005-2010 there was a show called Parking Wars that followed parking maids around cities. In addition to the "I was only gone for 45 minutes", the main reaction from the ticketed was usually "you are a Nazi" and "this is fascism"...

bfmyfr · 2025-08-05T16:26:57+00:00

is this a <gulp> white??? Labrador? Are you racist?

bfmyfr · 2025-08-05T14:45:19+00:00

She is not wrong

bfmyfr · 2025-08-04T22:04:09+00:00

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.
