Anyone have any hot tips for painting new wheels? Recommendations for paint that will hold up? I'm thinking about buying some black RPF1s, wet sanding off the clear, hit it with VHT engine enamel, and clear them; leave the barrel black.

Oddly enough, a lot of people assume I am black since my name is Damian. Everyone at the beauty school my gf went to was rather surprised when I showed up the first time.

Pre-ordered the Mad Max game, now to wait a week for it to actually release  Also, goddamn my roomie either thinks i'm an idiot or is just insanely ballsy. He just bought himself some smoke last night, then today has the nerve to ask me if he can borrow $10 til Wednesday. I'm having a really hard time resisting the urge to reply with "lol, gently caress no, learn to budget."

mafoose posted:Sorry but 280zs are an airdam, bumpers, and turn signals away from almost indistinguishable for most from a 240z. They also have way better electrics, factory subframe connectors you'd add anyways if you are making any real power, and way better door/lock mechanisms (with a real crash beam!). And provisions for ac which is nice here in the desert. Aren't all the 280Z's the weird 2+2 ones? I thought I remembered that they were visibly different. Fo3 posted:All this new poo poo and they haven't made it any better for life's necessities. Booze, smokes, other accoutrements have got more expensive as well. Well, minimum wage is 20% higher now than it was in 2001, so that helps. I don't remember what grocieries etc cost at that time (I was in middle school, lol) so I guess it's possible that that stuff has risen more than 20%.

Sounds like he's just a super aggro crag, and didn't even think about money until he's already spent it.

It's not just the car, he just seems to make a predictable series of posts that go something like "oh man I just bought a [bunch of weed | cool trinket | bunch of alcohol] and life is great!" ... "bawww woe is me, I don't have any money, somehow! Why does this always happen to me??" Honestly, I didn't really intend to rip on you, SAC, I just wanted to use you as an example of the kind of person T1g4h's roommate seems to be. I know a few people like that in my personal life, but obviously nobody here knows those people, so I used you instead. Raluek fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Aug 24, 2015 |

Minimum wage is the standard we should judge everything by (and vote/listen to/for people that keep claiming that raising it is the worst thing ever). I had a weird thought today, take it for what it's worth. But you know how most people say that want better for their kids than they had it? [baring mega millionaires and egoists that say they did it hard, here's a few $K to start you of etc], but you know what I mean. Why i it when it comes to "peers", people think the opposite? Rather than "I want to make it better for others (their kids)", people switch to "I did it, so everyone else has to". I'm talking about the bullshit you get in school, apprenticeships, trades, military, civil services etc. Stuff like hazing, "tradition", treating the FNG like dirt and things like that, just because that may have been how you were treated. Like there's a switch in your brain for improving "x", but making "y" suffer if you had to. That's my thought for the day. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Aug 24, 2015 |

I'm personally sick of the "gently caress you, got mine" economics that's so pervasive today. Nobody wants or proposes a tax cut on the lowest tax bracket that would save everyone money. Instead its a cut to the middle or top brackets. The middle bracket cuts are particularly heinous since they disproportionately affect top earners under the guise of "helping middle class families" who eat that poo poo up but only save maybe a couple of hundred since they're just a few thousand dollars into that bracket.

That's pretty obvious when you think about evolutionary pressures. The monkey that dicked over everyone else but helped its own kids a lot had more successful kids than everyone else. It's just human nature, and human nature is poo poo.

If minimum wage kept up with inflation since the end of the Gold Standard, it would be like $21/hr now. Whenever someone gets pissy about the $15/hr minimum wage fast food workers want I have to remind them that they are also getting hosed on their pay. Talked to the owner of the telecom company I mentioned last week this morning and we are gona try and set up an interview for next week. I just want like $25/hr and benefits is that so much to ask for!?

The Midniter posted:Don't you not pay rent or something? How can you worry about finances when you're living rent-free? It was a perk of the girlfriend's job. Various things (mostly her father's cancer) lead her to take a leave of absence without really consulting me about it. Like we had a on refundable hotel and event tickets for Chicago this last weekend and had I known our finances were going to so drastically change I'd never have bought any of them. So we went from $1200 off rent to $500 off. I over extended myself paying off other poo poo and I had cut my hours at work recently. So I'm gonna be scraping for a few weeks at least.

Probably, but you'll pay more for someone else to do all that basic work for yourself. Use online bill payment, it's much easier to keep everything organized.

Consolidation loans are A Thing, but the bank will generally shut down all forms of credit you've got and usually won't issue any more until it's paid off. If that's something you think would benefit you by all means do it but personally when I was in that situation I chose to just keep chipping away and eventually got caught up.

What you should do is max out a credit card, then do a balance transfer to another card so you can max the first one out again! This is the AW Method, and it works the first couple of times no problem.

If you're 26 and unable to get a card that carries a limit below the price of an Xbox One then, please, by all means, don't loving get a credit card. edit: wait, is getting a card with a limit that low even loving possible!?

I do have pretty much perfect credit for someone without (major, non-school) loans, though. I had all the credit checks, leases and bills solely in my name for the entirety of the time I had roommates during college.

Just without the crazy lady on the 12 heading to Burlingame Fred Meyer who is talking about her kids being "in the trees" while making stabbing motions at anyone getting on or off the bus and taking up three seats (no one minded) because her dead children needed to sit down... Nah, I get what he is saying.
