are you a bot?

Bad Luck When I had this issue and read this thread, all i eventually accomplished was getting it to work a few extra months by spring silicone lightly on my key. Eventually I just took it to the mechanic who installed a new toyota ignition and drivers side door lock.

T4R2014 I definitely agree with you about 95% here.

Well the thing is a degree by default won't make you rich, in fact an advanced degree may make you poorer by locking you into a field. A STEM degree might cost $50K but possibly much less. And that's only with a bachelor's degree. Folks with bachelor's stem degree can make hundreds of thousands...

Look, China is a serious threat and needs to be dealt with. And they will be. I'm just saying that the more they crack down on personal freedoms, is the more they score goals on themselves. Basically Xi is ratf#cking them because his authoritarian policies lead to reduced GDP and far far less...

I mean dude I presume you know that those lists are total B$LLSH*T right and also rigged / corrupt. China is a concern yes but they are neutering themselves. China does not have freedom. They will never overtake the US+EU unless the communist dictatorship falls. China's ability to steal US...

Slightly related ... I just listened to this limited episode podcast that came out a few months ago called "Sold A Story" and it was all about how millions of kids in America are failing to learn how to read because schools are not actually teaching them to read at all. It was very fascinating...

I've got some catching up to do on this thread. Is the blaring glare on the hood you talk about only when you have the lights running, correct? If so just move them to the bumper. Everyone that puts the lights up high like that has that problem. The ARB has great mounting points and the...

I’m extremely sad to read this. I don’t keep up with T4R as much lately definitely was taken by surprise. RIP Nick.

Truck is looking good Tony!

That sucks. I def get it. I’m pretty confident the market will go back up. A lot of enterprise software companies are KILLING IT in sales revenue and cloud companies too. The market will go up and down but overall long term I worry much more about things like housing inflation. Generally...

If you are talking about stocks value then this is really a misunderstanding. Unless you sold (withdrew) then you didn't lose anything. You aren't planning on being dead right? If you don't die and don't sell and the market goes back up in 6 months then you lost ZERO. As for inflation well it's...

Uhhh dude well you have you remember that you can't sell the stocks for 2 years from purchase date IF you want to avoid the gains counting as income, basically to qualify for long term capital gains. Always a good time to buy stocks. And it's definitely not a bad week to have cash. But then...
