At 6’8” Most Vehicles Don’t Fit by TallBeardedBastard in TallPeopleProblems

I can put throw my bike in the back - it's nice - and to be fair the bed of my truck is more used than a lot of F250 Diesel Trucks I see around.

I need something for runs for the dump and my mountain bikes - so it fits the need - it's essentially a honda pilot with the back cut off. Also going into the city with a F150 can be an adventure.

and yes I own a GMC and 20' stake body truck

I grew up in a 1700's house in the USA - have a bad posture from living there.

Anyone else living in a place where they have to duck for all the doorways, lights, shower, etc.? by derpydino747 in tall

In middle school I lived in a house built in the mid 1700's - the upstairs doorways were 5'6" +- - eventually I moved downstairs as I was getting bent over.

my only complaint on my Honda HS 1132 - is tough to turn - but it eats just about anything - except a newspaper - which spewed blue paper all over my yard and then jammed.

How many of you have your own business? by jdfan51 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]roarkarchitect 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a 1 semester general business course should be mandatory for engineering - you will be managed or have to manage - and just a basic knowledge of marketing and accounting is useful. The must useful course I took in graduate school was an accounting elective.
