Diamonds being rare is the greatest racket ever. Although the colored diamonds are legitimately more rare. My mom used to run a jewelry store and they used to go bananas for the colored diamonds. If I remember it's the full reds are the rarest and go for crazy bucks, I wanna say something like a million dollars a carat but that sounds a bit crazy.

We have evidence that a credible threat exists on Jupiter. They have a tremendous stockpile of toxic gases that could be weaponized into a chemical WMD. Given a complete lack of diplomatic response on Jupiter's side we will be invading tomorrow.

As a member of the Federation, Ganymede has agreed to be the host nation for our expedition. Other moons will be interdicted by Kessler Bombs. The exception will be Metis, which as a distinct celestial object in the northern (top down) sector will be allowed to form the new nation of Metistan.

Also trying to keep the wedding and reception low but gently caress, feeding and boozing 60-100 people adds up quick.

What do you guys think about weddings abroad? Dick move? Making people shell out for a ticket and all? Good because you force them to take a vacation?

Having a mainland thing and then a small one there with close family might seem ideal

Depending on how abused it is, it's probably trending more towards "gently caress me" than "alright", mainly because Daimler-Chrysler is hot loving garbage with build quality.

Did you miss all of my posts about how poo poo the brand new one I had was? I never even broke 25k miles on it and had to sink over 6k in repairs and the transmission was starting to pop out of 1st gear on starting to move from a red light.

I'm glad I was able to get 11.5k for it on a trade-in because I'm sure if I tried to sell it bluebook price of ~15k to a regular person they would have told me to gently caress right off.

Hot loving garbage. They moved their manufacturing plants from the US to Mexico sometime in the mid 2000s and the build quality since then is dog poo poo. It wasn't amazing before but now it's pretty loving terrible. Don't expect to get more than 150k out of it before it falls apart from frame rust or other terminal ailments, and expect to spend a lot in repairs on the way there.

Am I correct in my assumption, you fish-faced enemy of the people?
What the gently caress. I've been telling friends and family for probably 6 months now that I'm going to get a new Focus hatch, so of course when I'm like less than a month out from pulling the trigger suddenly people are bringing up the auto transmission issues. I knew about the issues with earlier models that seemed to be ironed out for the most part by the '17, but I can't mention the car now without someone acting like the entire drivetrain is going to seize up and drop out of the bottom of the car without warning.

I went halfway across the US to get married because I was active duty and all of our friends and family lived halfway across the US and I'm not an rear end in a top hat who makes people buy plane tickets and get hotel rooms for the privilege of honoring me.

Personally I guess I got lucky when I bought my 2016 Miata, because I went against my gut and bought the auto version because when I test drove it, it actually didn't feel like a slushbox and was really quick shifting and didn't slip like autos always do. 2 weeks after I purchased it, there was a TSB issued for the 6MT mulching 1st through 4th within 500 miles. Apparently a bunch of bad gears got through QC and almost every 2016 MX-5 with a manual is having their transmissions implode.
