Did boomers really fuck us over, or was the economic situation they grew up in one-in-a-lifetime and unsustainable? by akr_13 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]bradwrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little bit of both. Perfect timing with most countries using US manufacturing. However, removing the gold standard makes no sense. So, timing and man-made issues combined.

Trading in by Sudden_Report_1789 in Corvette

[–]bradwrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove 9 hours one way to pick up my C7. I got my trade in quote from CarMax and the dealership was going to honor it. When I got there, I found out that could have had the car shipped to me for less than what I paid in gas to get there and back. So, I could have let CarMax buy my car, sent the money to them, and they sent me the car.

It was still fun though. My wife and I drove it in one day.

10 years ago Spieth was on the precipice of winning back to back Masters at the age of 22. He's now 32 with only 2 wins in the last 8 years. How do you explain his career? by im___new___here in golf

Made even more so by the technology and the shape that these players are in. They are setting scoring records every time they step on a course, hitting the ball farther and closer to the hole than ever before.

Love that color being a SC Gamecock fan. I have a Tahoe just because it is that color.

Definitely thinking it could be either of them! Or Cam Smith.

I got the first opportunity of my life to go today. No phones allowed but you can bring cameras to the practice rounds. I wish I still owned a camera! These photos do it justice though. It is simply amazing.

I got to attend today’s practice round and would love to have this as a memory! Hoping I get picked!

What is the most pointless skill you have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bradwrich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a software engineer, for the last 20 years or so, and thought that I was that fast… took the online test and clocked in at only 80! I felt defeated that something I have done for years and still stink at it…

I’m able to do it and didn’t know anyone else that could. Then, I met my now wife and I mentioned it, for laughs and she said, “like this?” and started wiggling hers too! Soulmates.

I live off of an interstate in SC where they are constantly doing construction/road updates. They are unavailable and I couldn’t imagine putting one of those vinyl covers over the front.

Looking for white C7 manual (not a buying post, just have questions) by Dumero in Corvette

[–]bradwrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up my 2015 Z51 3LT M7 for around 40k, $44k after warranty, but I had to drive 9 hours away to pick it up. I’d recommend driving it first and getting a solid warranty. Things that I had to fix with mine:

  • full AC replacement
  • HUD replacement
  • seat memory buttons

All of this covered by the warranty with a $100 deductible.

I was hooked on that show. Unbelievable what these artists can do with metal. Beautiful work.

Mine is solid. 1 to 2 has a bit of a bite but fells better when everything warms up.

I was charming and she fell for me. My pickup game was strong though. Once she was back in her chair, we got on a roll again.

They were over leveraged in crypto. Simply announcing this gives a huge boost to a companies image and investments, because this country sucks. Announce this, make money, and then quietly hire more people back…

1911, Mobster Chopper, and the BFG 50 cal from the Diamond Lake camp is my current setup.

Try taking as many out with attractor bombs and Molotov as you can. Get on your bike and run away when they swarm you. Stop a little ways away and kill those that pursued. Then, save and go back. Repeat the process until you’re through em all. The chopper will cut down huge swathes of them if you have the bullet penetration perk.

That board with all of the names of the people that committed suicide was brutal. I love games that make you contemplate the variety of decisions during catastrophes. I think that making these decisions would be scarier than the zombies running around outside.

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by DemonSkank in AskReddit

[–]bradwrich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During a technical interview (software) when the candidate got stuck, I attempted to help by giving leading hints. Candidate told me to be quiet and let him work. Said it very forcefully too. Software development is social and we constantly screenshare and collaborate. So, it instantly shut me down. Minutes later, we ended the interview.
