I guess they've never had to transfer an employee between franchises before, I remember there being a lot of confusion on how to do it when I started.

Layoffs again today. So far , five guys got let go, more to come in the second half of the day. What gets me is how unaffected the management/supervisors are by all this. Through 8 rounds, only one has been made redundant. There are five mill supervisors for about 12 machinists. Those five do not run machines themselves anymore either. All chiefs, no indians around here  Feels like the sword of Damocles is over me these days.

What I hate is paying and then having to figure out what I really have to pay because, surprise new tax bracket time! Just be happy you can claim anything due to a mortgage/buying your own house. It's a big WTF thought here when I heard about that. Here only landlords that rent out houses to the poor get concessions (a real "the rich get richer" scheme). Buying your own house here gives you a big gently caress all from the government (try and make a claim - say if you run a business from it or whatever means you have to pay CGT on the value you eventually sell the house for), so no one bothers to get concessions for their home - PPR. We're just happy we aren't taxed extra our house*, and we can't claim home loan interest etc, which you can do in the US I believe. Like I said, try find a loophole here and you'll get raped 20% at sale time. *fed/income. we still have local rates/taxes on our house. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jan 29, 2016 |

I like how ISPs have gone from the AOL model of pay per minute and take forever to 'load new art' to a wide open model and now regressing back to data caps and paying by the gigabyte while pushing streaming. I guess it's a way to guarantee a fat revenue stream for little extra effort.

Quite A Tool posted:I kind of figured that was a typo regarding the compressor, but in what world does biodegradable wiring make sense?? I think the biodegradable wiring was the result of trying to make the wiring more eco-friendly when it came time to recycle the car at the end of its life. Apparently the GXL/TXL wire (i.e. The Good Stuff) used in most cars is really hard to recycle because of the same qualities (e.g. heat resistance) that make it last for a long time under the hood. I'm not sure what Volvo's alternative was, but the insulation would crumble and fall off after only a few years in service instead of lasting for the life of the car. They ended up having to release replacement harnesses that used more durable wire; it's still possible to find used replacements in good condition if you buy the car and find yourself in need of one. davebarton.com also has brand new replacements. If it's running fine now it should fairly easy to keep it that way but if it has running issues they can be hard to troubleshoot because of the Bosch K-Jet mechanical fuel injection. Most of the rest of the driveline is shared with later Volvos so it shouldn't be too hard to find parts.

The plot thickens. Got a packet from the IRS this morning. I guess I wasn't paying my tax settlement fast enough because they appear to have canceled the contract we came to terms on and they sent me a bill for $16,000. So this might be what's up with my tax issues. I would like to know what happened to the $1900 I already paid them.

The crock of poo poo companies are putting out about ESC is terrible. I have never once seen it save an FF car in an understeer situation, it only stands to make the car understeer worse by applying rear brakes and cutting power to the driven wheels at the worst possible time. It's a fan-loving-tastic way to understeer into the opposing lane on a turn during slippery conditions. It's another system created to make cars more difficult to work on and supporting drivers being loving braindead at the wheel in cars that feel as disconnected from the road as physically possible. What's great is I'm sure insurance companies will be happy to drop you on any liability case if you turn your ESC off. Safety improvements like airbags and proper unibody engineering are great but the amount of needless technology being stuffed into every single car as federally mandated is bullshit.  How about a federal mandate that forces people to not drive on lovely all-seasons during the winter?

T-Square posted:Does anyone know of any good streaming options for the 24 Hours of Daytona tomorrow? I remember one of you (Adiabatic?) hung out with some people last year that had a bunch of streams going, and that looked bitchin'. That was me, but it was for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It's worth it to check the team websites to see if they have in-car cams. We got a lot of good feeds that way. Otherwise we just got lucky and found some dude that compiled a list of streams already. Versus / Speed / all that garbage generally has something either on cable or online.

For 2013 I messed up my amazon deductions so they taxed me based on the reported amazon sales, not what I actually made (Amazon takes like 40%). So after negotiations that was their best settlement offer and I had no choice but to take it. I was payingb$100 a month and I guess that wasn't good enough.

Just made the mistake of going to the grocery store in uniform. Jesus Christ never again. Saw this super cute blonde girl walk across the center aisle in front of me, like a solid thirty feet. When I go to pass the aisle she went down, she loving springs out in front of me. "Thank you so much for your service to this country sir. I just had to wait and tell you." You could smell the crazy. But drat she was cute. Eight years and I still have no idea how to react to that, so I never go anywhere in uniform unless forced to. On the bright side I did see a dude with downs wearing a superman shirt and cape, while looking like the happiest mother fucker in the world.

Double awesome for RLM, they're probably way better than whoever is commentating for Fox. I just wanted to at least be able to watch the start and finish.

I think Fox slipped IMSA  to make the website as misleading as possible, but the website will be streaming the whole 24 hours. Whether you can watch that inside the US is another matter, I have no clue on that sorry.

It's way too loving complicated and should not be this way.
