I think you can pick up a 2000-2005 Silverado (stay away from 1999, and run from anything earlier) in that range that hasn't been abused. I've been in charge of maintenance of a couple of decent size fleets, and Chevy has proven to be slightly more reliable in the long haul than the Fords. My sugges...

Corporate compensation packages rely heavily on bonus payouts, not always tied to company performance. The lump sum payment is a way of deferring salary in a great many cases. Though not on the same scale, my standard of living is reliant on this year end check. Those calling for their cancellation,...

Any SoCal advice?
I've been working and living in the great PNW my entire life, but now the career says it may be time to move. It would be a big change for the family, so we approach it with some trepidation. Long Beach is gonna be the workplace, and I'd like to keep the commute within 30 minutes. What do you locals...

It's about $282 Billion a year. I had to redo the numbers. I based it on refined product per barrel (you get about 20 gals of gas per barrel), number of American drivers (57% of population), average miles driven per year and gallons needed (around 600 gallons per year), and cost per gallon of refin...

Just out of curiosity, I did the math on what it would cost us to provide Americans with free gas. We used about 377 million gallons last year, at about $3 a gallon averaged out across all grades. That's approx $1.1 Billion. But if you look at it on a barrel per year basis of oil, we use 11.2 barre...

I got mine about three months ago, and I really like it. As an apps platform, it can't be beat right now. I have a few minor complaints (battery life, no cut/paste), but the one thing that drives me batty is the lack of a turn by turn GPS app. I think I read that Apple is keeping app developers out ...

Any collective bargaining agreement is in place for the protection of BOTH sides.

You're both right. Convenience and money both come into play. Consider a hamburger.

I'm a big fan. Guitar based alternative rock? That's as close as I could pigeonhole them. You do know they're an iteration of Camper Van Beethoven, right? Same vocalist and lead guitar, at least.

In case none of you have watched a Sonics home game, no one went to their games, their arena was a POS, etc. We have state of the art facilities and when the Hornets were here there were few empty seats. The Sonics have a brighter future in OKC. Actually, the arena is quite nice. Not enough luxury ...

Gonna get a tat, but need some design help
My better half and I are going under the needle in the next couple of months, and I really want to make the design uniquely mine. My idea is to combine a couple of my passions - the outdoors and fiction/fantasy. So, with that I'm leaning toward a mountain bike theme with a creature at the helm. This...
