  1. 6 speed....stick! Saved me NO JOKE $6k on the car I just bought. Certified pre owned it was listed at $36k. Walked in made a really low offer....at first they laughed, thus I provided my name, my credit score as well as my contact info and stated "We live in NJ people here don't know how to pump their own gas, what makes you think they can drive a 6 speed car?" 7 days later I got a call, they agreed.

  2. I'm a man! As such! We will need to go bigger! Yeah huge freaking wings! AND ROCKETS! But I think he's on to something amazing. The kids I introduce to engineering love watching his video.

  6. We have fusion power right now. It's called "SOLAR". and very nice it is too - but not an economic game changer if we made it cheap enough? When visiting China I could not help but notice that almost every building had a solar panel on top and every bit of green space had a wind turbine. I had a chance to visit the Apple production facility....you do not want to know how those who assemble your apple products live. Google "Company town" Though the facility is not owned by Apple, the company who does run the place treats the people as if it owned them. Vietnam? Not much better. You have a vast well educated workforce for assembly of all types of products. And if you want to do R&D well look no further! I could not believe the people I met in Vietnam! They all graduated from the BEST US schools! When I asked why they didn't stay, their answer was simple....."In the US I would make money but here my money goes further..."

  7. God I would be standing up and screaming "wooo hooo! Look at the great work we did boys! WE FREAKING ROCK!" But that's just me i celebrate life. And if celebrating life is an issue for some, why should they keep me down? Yet further more, if these folks don't start showing that they actually enjoy what they are doing the next generation will not become engineers. After all what kids says "Yeah I want to be catatonic and totally devoid of emotion and passion like that guy or that girl?"

  9. 10 years of pushing rope will tire out a man.... They just lack any and all excitement! Even if something is a spectacular success! I mean people standing up and clapping and shouting...these engineers look as if they are catatonic! No high fives, no woo hoo....just....."that was nice" Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  10. Because unless your product is so simple that it could be run in Vietnam, you need people who have been in the environment for more than 3 days. I was just in Vietnam. Do you know how many American educated and American trained specialists I saw there? Who are perfectly happy and doing VERY well living on $40k a year? Most products are simple, and if they are not we quickly find way to automate their production. Average person who assembles the Ipad II has a high school education. Welcome to the modern world! But that said they stated on NPR that for the past 12 months the average job creation in the US has been 100k jobs? Not bad. Not GREAT! Not OK...but not bad. Maybe there is hope! As long as these people who are getting these jobs are making no less than what they made in their previous jobs we may yet see the end of this horrible recession....... But then again we all know that these guys and gals picking up these new jobs are not making what they once made.

  11. Judas that took forever. Yes I concur in this day and age, one needs ever increasing levels of education and training to stay relevant in the workforce. And with ever increasing efficiencies less and less people will be needed to do the same level of work. Yes there will always be jobs for plumbers and electricians and odds are they will be making more than engineers in the not too distant future. However for those who have gone to university and who are striving for a stable middle class 9-5 job....it may become a unobtainable dream. After all why hire anyone when you can just hire them as a temporary self employed contractor? And let's face it an unstable well educated under paid workforce will not be the engine of our recovery.

  12. I get a great one on my condo! I mean it's freaking rocking! I may hate the thing and want to kill most if not all the old ladies in my neighborhood but.....hell it keeps my taxes LOW! If i made twice what I made, about what you made, I would pick up another investment property that was rented out and which paid for it self.... another tax deductions. And so on and so on.

  15. Every person on this fucking forum is your accountant, since you keep thinking that vent your sob story of incompetence will get you sympathy. A lot of good advice was given to you- falling on deaf ears. Your doom and gloom rants would carry better if you spent a bit more time in thought, and did a bit more fact checking when you pull facts out of thin air. And after a deep breath this is the best you could assemble. Really? This was it? This was the up most you could synthesize? Funny I bet this kind of line works great on the jello crats. But when you meet someone with a bit of a back bone....well then what? Hi I'm Shah, I have a back bone. Please go back take a deep breath and formulate a coherent and well thought out rebuttal or a concurrence to the topic at hand which to reiterate is " Due to enhanced productivity, as it stands now with the continued reduction of worker compensation packages reviving the slumping economy would take an act of god or a down right magic." We are all awaiting your fully formed fully formulated thoughts on the subject. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  16. Yeah....fucking right? What a spoiled little brat Jesus H Bush was....that little shit never worked a day in his life. Just another freaking trust fund baby trying to prove his father wrong..... As for the Democrats....mother fucking spineless gutless pieces of shit! Get rid of the JHB tax cuts!

  17. this should be good. ever see the funky tax deductions people can pull off once they cross say $250k? Makes you wonder what those making $1mill can do?

  18. sigh it is what it is...... that's what I just have to keep telling myself.... maybe when the economy heats up i'll take my education and experience and walk away and find the "normal" folks.

  20. What gets me is that we went to war and he lowered taxes on those making over 250k. How was he expecting to pay for these two wars? Iraq cost us the tax payer just north of 2.5 billion per week. Afgan was 1.5 billion per week. 4 billion per week over how many years...... I know he was a solid D student but.....wtf? Yeah we get it he did what his daddy was too smart not to. And 9-11 well that was a real mess....but what did you expect when you veto a multiple billion dollar oil pipe line out of southern Russia and to the Indian ocean....hugs and kisses. But that aside he apparently spent the least of any modern president on infrastructure.

  21. So these things are crap? You need a grill to get a grill to get to 600f for it to be with it's salt. Shucks What a shame....I was hoping that this would not suck. The weber I has was stainless steel and it was so freaking sexy and cooked so well..... It worked better than chocolate wine in causing panties to melt.

  24. When I first moved into my condo I was told I was not permitted to have a gas on my deck. Apparently the fire department was worried about potential explosions incase there was a fire. Thus I bought a very nice weber charcoal grill which was amazing to grill on. Then one of the old ladies nearly burned down the entire neighborhood when she utilized what appears to have been a 55 galen grumble of lighter fluid to light her fire.....and thanks to her dumb ass behavior the fire department now has stated we can no longer have a charcoal grill either.......fracking old ladies. So Im thinking of one of these electric grills. What do you guys suggest other than going on a old lady killing spree?
