And now my patent will be issued tomorrow!!
And as you would imagine it's NOT a chemistry patent!
@dday - good luck! Sounds like an interesting change for you!
Been a fan for 40+ year,
3 Super Bowl wins
5 Super Bowl Appearances
15 Division Titles
There are 13 NFL teams without a Super Bowl ring so all and all I can't complain. As for the draft picks, that's a crap shoot. I'd take one proven pro bowler over three draft picks.
Though now I would have to admit I'm teetering on how I feel about the team. I don't like Gruden (he left and then beat the Raiders in the Super Bowl) I'm not a real forgiving. But the main problem is this Las Vegas move. This is the second time (actually third time but second from Oakland) they've moved the team and to be honest, I don't give a dam what their reasons were. You'll never see me wearing a Las Vegas Raiders hat. Right now I'm feeling that I'll keep track of the team and be happy when they do good but that's about it.
Man, I completely agree with you there. That is why I don't understand Coach Gruden's decision to trade Amari Cooper for a 1st round draft pick.Quote:

It's not the taxes, it's the cost of living. They're moving HERE! We have all the taxes, though I think our sales tax is lower...and I guess I don't know about income tax comparisons. However, you can buy FAR more of a house for FAR less, out here. You also don't make nearly as much, but that's a different matter.
Don't agree with that. There is no time when a person shouldn't try to make the country better. Protesting against unfair practices, even at work, is something that should be allowed up to the point that you are working for somebody else (they can fire you if they want, but with all the true (personal) political baggage around that). We were told we weren't to talk about salmon, at one point. Not quite as sensitive as race, but it was pretty similar, as it was driven by a desire to keep an unpopular view silent. The person who handed down that rule ended up being fired, but not over that. He did manage to silence the voices he didn't want to hear.
Let people be heard. Anybody who speaks out at work does so at considerable risk. That's courage. Maybe your job will be endangered because of standing up for equal rights, maybe your job will be endangered for a fish....which is also endangered. It's still your job on the line for your voice.
Its the taxes, sales taxes and cost of living. Funds raised from the taxes are being squandered on stupid projects that no one wants or needs. For example the lame bullet train from LA to SF costing us billions and billions (think its 15 billion). We have roads and freeways that could have greatly benefited from that money to for repair and upgrades. We could have bought 37 of those specialized firefighting air planes with billions left over. But instead we want to rent them at $1.5 million a day. Our infrastructure is failing as its old and over used.
Now we will have a new governor who is crazier than Brown. CA is going to be a poophole real soon. Down the road when my Dad passes there will be nothing left keeping me here except my wifes parent etc. Its very easy to sell hour homes and use the money to buy a baller house in most any other state and be able to retire in style. My brother and his family will probably move out first as hes staying for the same reason I am.
I mentioned to my wife that the Dead Kennedy's were singing about Gov. Jerry Brown in 1979, yet in 2018 he is still the Governor of California (I deliberately left out that break between then, but the point still remains).
Wow, your IRS investigations are REALLY intrusive.Quote:
So you will be getting taxed up the arse!!
Good luck DD. It'd be great to see you a programming career so you can actually use the stuff you do on here.
This is a better image - happy day!
