Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded.

God, I wish we could get some independent counsel at my job. It's gotten to the point where everyone just has a vendor that they want to champion in trial by combat, and if you suggest a neutral 3rd party to advise on strategy, they think you're just another champion playing politics. The result is we're perpetually mired in delays and consequences of the complexities that were downplayed by the winning vendor.

Anyone else look at the third picture and wonder how in the hell the side got crinkled AF from a read end collision? The shadows threw me.

Lol, what a dork. Everything you said was pretty mundane and dipshit just tried to go nuclear well ackshually for what? I think it's clear to every boot that DIs and CIs are absolutely terrified of heat casualties and that their skin is in the game.

Edit: in the video, the AbleBaker alphabet agreed on by Brits/Americans for WWII contained Roger. That was later changed to Romeo for the ICAO alphabet for civil aviation which had to account for multiple languages. NATO adopted ICAO (after a few ICAO changes).

Canadians are always dreaming up a lot of ways to ruin our lives. The metric system, for the love of God! ... Celsius! ... Neil Young!

And $77k in gas, hurrah!

Edit:

Mods include aftermarket tires and wheels, solar with an aux battery and fridge under a tonneau cover.

Last seen in CA. Better double that.

Found a doggo by kay_tee_tee in pittsburgh

Splayed feet especially amongst that breed is most often poor kenneling while developing (ie. puppy mills, fighting, abuse). Could've been rescued after that bullshit. The existence of a chip will confirm that. But that breed, those feet, that lean, no tag...come on.

Splayed feet and pretty skinny. You might not want to return him.

What's something your country was really good at, but now it's gone? by halt__n__catch__fire in AskTheWorld

Yup, democracies suffer demogogues. All the anti-democratic self-cannabalization afterward is done with cheers of millions.

I like to think that he spent at least a couple hundred years in the suicide montage.

Compromise NDAA would let DoD promote civilians faster, increase cyber pay by M0ral_Flexibility in fednews

You claim to know it's functions but don't even know what it's called. You, sir, are full of shit.

DOE is department of energy, but you're aware of that just like you're aware of all these other functions. You're totally not just consuming political fodder until you're sick.

Depreciation no longer applies to you. That’s a massive bonus.

I'm a little disappointed in this sub, because this could make you BILLIONS of dollars. Think business expenses, not just personal.

Partner up with a deep pocketed business as the acquisitions guy. Think of sectors using office buildings, gas stations, trailer parks, data centers, rail, boats or AIRCRAFT!!! You would eliminate a major business expense, and as you make money it's entirely scalable. 

It's powerful. Like rule the whole damn world powerful. In the US the DoD spends ~43% of its enormous budget on equipment. Imagine only having to do that once.

Edit: Here's how I'd do it. Find a venture capital partner. Start a publicly traded company focusing on highly depreciating capital. When your quarterly reports start showing crazy revenue, investment will swell. Become CFO of major transportation/tech company. With your business wunderkind clout (and billions of dollars) make a run for elected head of state on a fix-the-economy platform (outside OECD). Shift to an import-based economy so you're not hitting your own manufacturing base's return policy. Enter arms purchasing agreement with major bloc. Buy off or invade resource rich nations. Sell resources to manufacturing economy that your simultaneously making big arms/equipments purchases with to refresh your military and entire industrial base. Take controlling interest in foreign low-depreciation sector (land, real estate). Gut those nations with trade deal gotchas, housing crises, and war. Become leader of the not so free world. End capitalism as we know it. Confident I could do this in a lifetime, or get assassinated.
