re: Gulf Coast Beach Condo rental rates
Posted by concrete_tiger on 4/24/24 at 10:24 am
[quote]All the owners jacked their rates in the last 4-5 years.[/quote]
After Hurricane Michael, our building's insurance went up by a crap ton.
Little things like beach chair rentals doubled (i.e. the amenities for renters that are included with a room)
It's all nuts....

The punishment:
Hire a shitty coach with a worse record than the shitty coach you just fired.
Falcons have had 14 coaches since 1970 if you exclude interim coaches.
Steelers have had 3 coaches since 1970

re: Mitsubishi Outlander: anyone had experience with their reliability or any other issues?
Posted by concrete_tiger on 4/23/24 at 4:08 pm
I had a Mitsubishi suv 2001-2006
It was fine, but I also would never own another one.
Repeated issues with transmission, they replaced it once and then added a cooler when the issues persisted. The issue was I would be on an incline at a stop light and it wouldn’t move after driving for a few m...

[quote]Pretty fricking stupid to waste legal resources on one disgruntled employee[/quote]
Exactly. There are other agreements you could sign, NDAs, etc etc... but to restrict someone's ability to earn is just low. My previous company did this ALL THE TIME to former employees. Nobody wants to batt...

Posted by concrete_tiger on 4/23/24 at 3:08 pm
It's all fricking criminal, and they purposely hide the costs from you. When you are in the midst of an emergency, medical crisis or procedure... should you really have to ask if "this is included or will it be extra" every time they do something?
Just recently had to take a kid to the Dr. for so...

[quote]Why is the federal government involved in consensual employment contracts?[/quote]
Because employers, especially in narrow fields... are dickheads and torture employees that dare choose to leave.

re: What's the deal with guys who go in the stall to urinate?
Posted by concrete_tiger on 4/23/24 at 10:11 am
Probably masturbating or doing drugs, or both?
Or maybe they just like using a urinal? Pretty sure 99.9999% of us don't have urinals at home, why is there stigma attached to peeing in a toilet that isn't at home?...

re: WSJ: Sofas made much worse now
Posted by concrete_tiger on 4/22/24 at 9:52 am
We bought 2 sofas and 2 love seats back around the year 2000.
They were built to withstand a nuclear blast... in fact, we still have one of the sofas. The only reason we got rid of them was we wanted something new and they were worse for wear. Recovering was more expensive that a new purchase.
