  1. Imagine a world where people can just come together to create jobs! No bosses. No Products. No Stress. People show up. Do whatever work feels right. Then get paid at the end of the day. Vote Bernie Sanders!
  2. A car from another row in a parking lot pushed forward past his space, taking the open space I was pulling into...
  3. Is it better to deal with the financial manager (dealership) or go straight to the office holding the service package?
  4. I'm dealing with an outdated bank that forces me to talk to a real person instead of having my account information available online.
  5. Not sure about it but.. I think the Credit Union paid off the balance of the car to the dealer and now they hold my loan exclusively. The problem is that the statements only come every quarter, so I don't know if the dealership has refunded the money to them until I check the balance history. The local credit union has no online/phone service to check myself (technically it's available, but actually doesn't work). I have to go to the physical bank and speak to a representative. (which is the reason I waited 3 months since it's a pain to keep checking, -probably why they use this institution) I'm considering the BBB and lawyer, but didn't think about involving the news. I'd hate to take it that far unless it gets to ridiculous levels of incompetence. I figure it's costing me about $7/month extra in interest.
  6. I recently purchased a used car. During financing, the salesperson convinced me to buy an extended maintenance and service package. While I tried to get into specifics he kept insisting that it would only raise my payments by $10/month. I calculated that it would raise my principal only $600 at that price and was worth it, so I accepted. He didn't contradict me and even re-inforced the idea by showing me a brochure close to the price. I signed the pile of papers and moved on. At home I had time to go over the stack of forms carefully, and while it was highlighted that our agreed upon monthly was only $10/month more like he said, the final principal was raised $4500 instead of $600 as I figured. It took me time to figure out how he did it, but the dealership increased the interest rate to come up with the initial monthly figure, then lowered it and pocketed the difference. The next day I immediately went back and canceled the maintenance package. They told me that it would take 4-6 weeks to clear the refund and would be delivered to the lean holder, not me. Perfectly reasonable. I waited two months with nothing happening. I called and they again repeated that it would go to the lean holder (which I said was fine) but it might be a little longer. I waited another month. This time they told me they don't know what is going on and that they would email their Financial branch (in another city) for the holdup. They told me that they would call me with more information when they get it. It's been a week. My question, is what can I do now? Do I see another loan officer to see if he's lying? (have been working with the same guy) Do I see his manager? (not sure that changes anything) A lawyer? (a bit extreme) what do I need to show? Should I be asking for copies of the cancelation? (which I don't have)
  7. I had to go into work during my vacation because they couldn't find anyone else who could my job.
  8. I was forced to use my phone's internet to find out why Windows 10 killed my desktop wifi.
  9. I decided to choose the opposite to see which candidate's policies I oppose the most: Bernie Sanders: %100 Hilary Clinton: %90 Cruz: %5 Carson: %1 I knew it. Bernie is pure evil.
  10. What if they hack EA and delay the release of Madden.
  11. It's okay guys. This only affects the %1
  12. I would prefer TT to start the season, EJ when winter sets in, and Cassell in the playoffs.
  13. I was running dual graphics cards in my franken-machine. Windows 10 didn't like that they weren't identical so it killed one. Now I have to buy a converter to be able to use my old VGA monitor with the newer DVI/HDMI card. ....upgrades never seem to include old technology. update: What the hell is Cortana?
  14. Just installed windows 10 free upgrade. Apparently there is a common problem with Windows 10 not being able to connect to the internet after the upgrade. I had to uninstall/reinstall my network/wifi card drivers to get it to work. Got a bit worried since It took me awhile to find the CD. There seems to be other connection problems that aren't as easy to fix... FYI, my computer now feels like a giant tablet. be warned. Update: I can't get dual monitors to work. fiddling with graphics drivers again.
  15. A good reason: The Bills don't need a playmaker (Taylor) at quarterback. They need someone that can get it to the playmakers (McCoy, Clay, Watkins, Harvin,)
  16. The more I think about it, the more I want Trump to be President. It would be more entertaining than Hilary.
  17. I want to know how much better the stock market would be if it weren't for global warming.
  18. I saw this hack coming from Mr Robot.
  19. "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." -Albert Einstein
  20. The shuffle on my music player likes to pick the same 10 songs to play over and over again from 10,000 to choose from...
  21. Thwarted by scotch tape. hah. Not much of a backtrack... They're working hard to bring as many as 700 off-brands under their license, instead of the single move of removing the DRM requirement altogether. ...but I like the public's reaction: They lost 23percent in accessory sales (more expensive), to gain only 14 percent in licensed k-cups (less expensive).
  22. The dead one can be replaced with CGI.
  23. Were the marines in uniform? They might get charged for disobeying Obama's foreign policy directives...
  24. Gatorman would make a perfect citizen of North Korea.
  25. If College were "free", I would go back to school: 1)to make use of the taxes i'm being forced to contribute... 2)experience what it would be like to not care about grades... 3)meet college girls....
