    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    The Dolphins are going to have a tough time, when their rush defense is #30 and they are facing Le'veon Bell. It looks like the only game that will be any good this weekend will be when the Giants win later today.

    My phone has no problems running, and I feel like it's a Godsend. It doesn't matter if I'm not near a TV now, I don't have to miss anything.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I just told a big construction company they could go fuck themselves (nicely). I bid the contract at $11k, and they came back to me wanting 1,800 off. Everything is based on straight time, the hourly rate is set by the licensing groups. In one of the areas, it is a high traffic area with a...

    I might buy that argument partially. I did see the fight and saw Nunes slip in past her defense effortlessly. That shouldn't have happened so easily. The only time I ever saw anyone do that was against people that had less than six months' striking training. We can agree that MMA has...

    I tend to stay out of these threads for lack of good analysis. And I was a Giants fan last year when they sucked, as well as every year, good or bad. I don't jump on the bandwagon like you do.

    I have all of the signed helmets from the Giants Superbowls (the MVP's) in my mancave. We had a Security System Installer come in who was a Pats fan. He about puked. The helmets are right where he was doing the install. I called his Manager and told him he did a shitty job (I'm friends with...

    Striking is not defined by just the striking, but in maintaining critical distance and timing. Anyone can put together a bunch of strikes, but not everyone can hit their target. Her timing was way off, and she made Nunes look like a genius. Her footwork was also superlative.

    Ronda Rousey Reportedly Barely Sparred Leading Into UFC 207 Disaster I thought she looked really off. Her strikes looked sloppy, and she didn't have a good feel for distance. But Nunes did. Nunes would let her strike, flailing her arms around and missing, and then step in and hit her. She...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Everyone wants the lowest price for what they buy. I ran an estimate yesterday for $830, and the guy wanted to pay me 350. My labor on the job would have been 330. 20 dollars is the only contribution margin I would have gotten. My overhead on the job would have been substantially more than...

    Second best December in 15 years. It would have been number one, but I spent a couple of thousand on a direct mailer. I had my wife look at the months, and our worst December was a loss of $57k. So I'll take break even. December is the worst month in our industry; companies go bankrupt in...

    That's a good projector. I looked at a demo on it a few times. I just prefer the 80" flat screen in my mancave, because the kids use the room a lot. When I ran a projector and screen, the bulb didn't last long.

    Everquest II

    I believe this game got a total of three new instances for content last year. Two of them were the same zone (one for group and one for raid). I logged in, ran around a bit, and didn't see a single soul in Freeport. I went to the new xpac, and the music was horrible. This game does not...

    Not with the current owner. Most of the games now get very little new content, but you can buy high level raid armor with cash. Ridiculous.

    I wouldn't wish a business failure on anyone. In the business I own, I had to make a bet and risk it all. If I went under, then I'd have lost my retirement and personal belongings. The business is doing well, but it still takes a wad of cash to keep going. I've had 30k in deposits come in...

    We just watched an upconverted Tomorrowland, and it sounded amazing. The sound objects have a sort of "mass" to them, it feels like they are really in the room. When the robots came in shooting lasers, the lasers were vibrating around the room, and I thought we were under attack. It's that real.

    Are you still getting a good Atmos experience at that cost? I dropped 800 on both of mine, and am floored. I'm not the type of guy that upgrades every year (the last time I did was seven years ago), so when I upgrade, I go big.

    The funny thing is, I read a few articles on this, and didn't know much about it. I saw all of the hype and dismissed it. Then I listened to a demo and knew within the first minute I was buying it. I dropped $3,600 on the spot. I never do stuff like that. But it is literally that much...

    Thanks guys. There have been some tough times (around the Great Recession). There have been times when customers owed me over $100,000, with only 13k sitting in the bank. There have been times when I should have laid off employees for non-performance much earlier than I did. I attach myself...
