That's actually damn funny! :D

Most definitely. I've been a night person since I was a little ***. From 8 until noon, I'm a zombie. But after 6 until well past midnight, my brain is fully engaged. And on weekends, staying up til 3AM or so is perfectly normal to me.

Thanks, Ice. I still watch Squawk Alley and I used to watch Bloomberg West. As far as websites, I like The Verge very much. I just miss the dedicated tech news that I used to have access to on my TV. There's a fair amount to be found on my Roku. It's just a chore to search for it, unless I have...

Good to hear. I'll have to start checking them out again. Lessening the downforce is a good move, IMO. I think that helps the truly talented drivers to be able to show their stuff, while the ones who have to rely on the car being nailed to the track will fade to the back once the tires begin to...

Cool trip down memory lane. Thanks! :thumbsup: As far as the babes, two of my favorites were Victoria Recaño and Sumi Das (sic?). I think Morgan Webb was everybody's favorite. There were some really good shows on TechTV. Yeah, I miss it too. Other than whatever I stumble across on my Roku, I...

I cut back on watching the races when Darrell Waltrip started his incessant cheerleading for Danicant Patrick a couple of years back (she dropped a puck for a hockey game and Darrell said, "Look at that! There just ain't nuthin' she ain't afraid to do!" Seriously, dude? :rolleyes: Are you *****...

I am so, so glad that we have the qualifying situation sorted out again. Even though it was another Mercedes 1-2, that was some damn exciting stuff in both Q2 and Q3! :clap:

She can't act her way out of a paper bag and she plays the same basic character in every movie that she's in (no range whatsoever), but Jennifer is the one that I've always thought was a hottie. She's knocking on 50 and she still cleans up well. I mean, look at her in that pic. That's about as...

George Zimmerman is an unaccomplished **** stain. Plain and simple. Race aside, the only thing this punk has accomplished in his life was ******* a *** who was delivering the ass whooping that Zimmerman asked for. In the Martin incident and in the multiple incidents afterward, Zimmerman has...

I was reading another story about this foolishness at Harvard the other day. At the end of the story, in the reader comments section, someone mentioned how annoying feminists and their demands for "safe spaces" (and other make believe Social Justice Warrior grand standing) are. He referred to...

I saw her in Hackers years ago. I guess that was one of her first movies. I thought she was cute. But that was about it. I never saw her as hot. As the years ******, and she turned into more of a typical, Hollyweird freak show, I've just tried to look away most of the time.

I got Starz several years ago just to watch the fantastic show, Boss (your gif was taken from a scene after her character's life had fallen apart). Kelsey Grammer starred and Kathleen Robertson had a major role. As a blonde, she looked SO different from her roles on previous shows, where she was...

It's sad to think that the leaders of tomorrow are graduating from these advanced nursery schools, such as Harvard and UC Berkley. Seriously, how in the world will these whiny, little candy asses EVER compete in a competitive political or economic environment? Answer: they can't. So their...

So what happened? Would someone just blurt it out already and stop screwing around?! Did Will and Countach get into a fight with each other, or someone else? Neither shows up as ******, but BC's rep is now 0. It doesn't say Closed Account under either of their names, so what gives? And Will's...

She'll never be hot in my eyes. Just the (equally annoying) tranny version of Justine Bieber, no matter what, IMO.

:thumbsup: :wave: I got the Limited just because I wanted a sunroof. Crazy cool cars, eh? I thought my modified Stage 2 WRX was a bad little *****. But this thing scared me after I had it modified to Stage 2+. I've driven some very fast cars in my life. But this one has speed and crazy...

I don't think that he's looking to have his ass kissed in this case. He just wants the same thing that you or I would want if we're sick and we need medical care: we want to be in the loop and to be treated like we're humans and not cattle. And while I'm no fan of ObamaCare, it has nothing to do...

I used to get a kick out of the GoodGuys events (Cool Cars. Cool People. Good Times.). The cars were generally roped off for the indoor car shows and they didn't want anyone to even breathe on their rides. But the cars that participated in the vintage drag races might be worth twice what you'd...

The article in the OP is a very good one - very informative and unbiased, IMO. How (and why) this turned into a discussion about individual wealth and incomes and *** control is completely beyond me. Anyway, as the article states: The underlying reason U.S. companies invert is that the...

If I'm not mistaken, our very own Briana Lee and Xo Gisele have done car/bike shows and tuner modeling in the past. They are fun. The NOPI shows that I used to go to were great. I haven't been to one in several years. It seems like the tuner scene (for both Euro and Japanese cars) has fallen...

:hatsoff: Rep for the Worm, but the system wouldn't let me.

International corporate tax inversions are just another example of why we desperately need income tax reform across the board in the U.S. Other countries are taking advantage of our inefficient and confusing system by allowing (and encouraging) companies and investors in their countries to take...

Wherever the minimum wage lands, it will be what it will be. If it leads to general wage inflation, prices will also adjust. That is a given. In some cases, it may lead to a greater push for automation or cross training, in order to reduce the number of lower skill positions. That is already...

I remember ****** on my first plane trip to visit relatives in California. I can remember the loud sound of the prop engines too. I know that I was 2 on that trip. I figure that's why I get sick or ****** babies near me when I fly now. Karma truly is a bitch with a long memory!

That would have at least put some broad logic to it. But it still doesn't speak to the vast differences in costs of living nationwide. I don't know how to quantify "wage fairness". I guess what I'm asking is, what base rate do you start from as you move forward?

True, it's not a black & white issue. But let's not confuse demand with job creation. And even if demand leads to a job being created (as opposed to expansion of an automated process), it may not be a domestic (U.S.) job. An increase in demand for products sold by Walmart, for instance, would...

Did you ever work with Seka? As she (and Vanessa del Rio) was one of my all time favorites, I have to ask. She did some anal scenes, though not a lot, right?

I'm not a Tony Stewart fan, but I think that fining him for making a comment about safety was WAY too much. I agree with Zeeblofowl, in that NASCAR needs to get back to its roots. Modern NASCAR reminds me of F1 in the late 80's and early 90's under Jean-Marie Balestre.

If I hit a day when everything seems to be going against me, I pick one task (doesn't matter how easy it is) that I can accomplish. As long as I can end a day, even the worst day, with at least one victory, I can convince myself that it's worth it to get out of bed tomorrow.

I think this is one of the best topics to hit FreeOnes in I don't know how long. To your question, as I stated above: Consumption, whether retail or wholesale, seldom happens in a way that a product or service is paid for in advance (other than custom built houses or cars or maybe some...

I think this is a fascinating topic. I really do. And this fellow is correct: without demand for a product or service, there is no profit (or motive) to supply that product or service. But even when there is a demand, perceived or real, it usually takes capital to begin producing or supplying...

Au contraire, mon frère. All one has to do is take a quick look at the tone of the movies that generally come out of Hollywood, and I don't think that a finance degree is required to know that there is a great deal of money and power within that sect (and it's not JUST about atheists). In...

When people complain that there aren't enough "good topics" on FreeOnes, I tend to look to your threads and wonder why these very same people don't reply. This is a topic which every single person on this board should be taking the time to look at.

Perhaps you should spend some time reading about South African apartheid, the history of Mexico and/or the social structure of the Roman Republic. It's actually not at all uncommon, in the course of history, for an elitist minority population to find ways to dominate and mistreat majority...

I saw a movie about some ******* that get stranded on an island. The penguins (and all the other *******) were talking. Lies! All lies! ******* can't talk. Clearly this is propaganda by ****** rights extremists. I've told my friend to keep her **** away from this blatant attempt at mind control...

I missed this post on the first go around. :clap: While I can understand people not posting in threads that either don't interest them or which they find troublesome, I don't understand them not creating threads with topics which do interest them... and then complaining that there aren't any...

Cool thread. :hatsoff:

As I see more of the names that I grew up with passing on (*********** and in real life), I get that odd feeling of mortality. R.I.P. Mr. Haggard. :hatsoff:

I agree with both of you. Not to take issue with whether or not someone wants to post (or continue posting), but this era of hypersensitivity that we now live in (safe zones, safe spaces, the right not to be offended, etc.) might be part of why some have chosen to leave forums where there are...

The most interesting name that I've seen so far is Formula One driver Nico Rosberg. But I suspect there could be some real fallout if any prominent U.S. politicians show up. I'll be genuinely surprised if the Clintons, or some entity connected to them, aren't in there. You simply cannot go from...

You absolutely do. And I applaud you for that effort. There are (or were) also several other posters who post interesting topics - though not as many as there used to be. Your topics, and those presented by these other people, would spark intelligent discussions, if that's what people were...

I think that he's on *****. That young fellow showed great restraint, if you ask me. After Katt threw the sucker punch, the *** had every right to go to town on that little **** addict. He got his little ass knocked out at a birthday party in Philly, or somewhere, awhile back too. When you're...

Had it for several days. So far, so good. What issues have you experienced? The only update that I noticed a performance difference was iOS 9.1, I guess it was. My battery life got AMAZINGLY better vs. iOS8. Before that update, I could leave my phone off the charger overnight and by the next...

I finally got caught up last night, so I had to stay away from this thread. Kim could make a turn toward the Skyler side. But Skyler had a stick up her ass from Day 1. I never liked her. And she just got worse as time went on. But Kim doesn't *seem* to have the same nagging, holier than thou...

Great thread. That info really blew me away. I had no idea whatsoever.

Agreed.

Same here. And when people with **** ask me, "who's going to look after you when you're old?"... my response has always been, "same people who will be looking after you: nobody!" I like ****. But not that much. If it comes down to choosing, I'd go with a puppy or a kitten.

I have no use for the reality TV, circus sideshow that is Donald J. Trump. But the big difference between your examples and this one is this fact, stated in the OP: The University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC) is a government funded public institution. If Harvard doesn't want to let Trump speak...

That's extremely debatable. The perspective would have to include the fact that Johnson was impeached shortly after the event which nearly destroyed the Republic. His extremely poor leadership, corruption and ***** of power (which made Obama's current power plays seem like *****'s play) could...

Donnie Boy couldn't, even if he wanted to... which he doesn't (Donald J. Trump: "First of all, there’s nobody on this stage that’s more pro Israel than I am."). But even if he did, the Cranston Amendment would stand in his way. Social Security and Medicare may suffer cuts at some point (programs...
