Apparently, if you buy enough models, it may prove to be cheaper in the long run to just move to the USA.

Trying to help people...clients or friends...who are incapable of remembering previous conversations and sticking with established goals and agreements. I'm no longer interested in being the only adult present in a room full of people in their 30s to 70s, and having to hold the hands of folks who somehow managed to get through life so far while learning NOTHING. This is, of course, the reason I began insisting that all business communications be handled through email, so there was a permanent record to refer to of what was discussed and agreed. It works very well for both parties. But it's just not possible with some folks, for a variety of reasons, and I just have to quit trying to deal reasonably with imbeciles.

Nice conversion.

COKE...IT'S THE REAL THING MUST GET COKE...MUST GET COKE...MUST GET COKE...

Breaks every few minutes for some moronic marketing to try to shove something I don't want and would never buy down my throat are the reason I dumped broadcast everything many years ago, and run ad-blockers on every device.

Ricardo Montalban had a thing for rich Corinthian leather...

Bee Gees were a band, but Gee Bee was an airplane; 'splain that to me, Lucy.

Yeah, there is. I'd give you a link, but it's way easier not to. LOL. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/forum/16-car-aftermarket-resin-3d-printed/

It is useless to mouth platitudes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platitude

Wouldn't it be wonderful if every public speaker's nose worked like Pinocchio's?

Whoa. That is pretty. Nice to be reminded just how great these dinosaur kits can look when built with care and skill.

"Ecstatic" is not a feeling I experience very often, but rather mostly annoyance with the petty, negative aspects of human nature that would turn the paradise of a planet we live on into a stupidity-driven, greed-and-power-mad cesspool.

Well...whatever you do, just "stick its toe" in the stripper first to see what happens, so you don't run the risk of losing the whole thing. He wants a recommendation as to what stripper to use that's compatible with the RESIN the parts are printed from.

Great story, great looking cars too.

Now that XY-chromosome owners are allowed to compete in the "Miss Universe" pageant, "representation" makes another inroad.

Yeah...and just think of what you're saving not having to run the water heater so hard...

The obviously European setting should have been my clue that it wasn't the '41 Ford it looks identical to. Bah humbug.

It's a mistake, pure and simple, to tell someone who's in business actually DOING something that he's doing it wrong, or charging too much, etc. All my professional life I've had to deal with clients telling me I "charge too much" because they could get "the same work" from some ignorant ham-handed mouth-breather for $15/hr, instead of paying my "exorbitant" hourly rates...never realizing my background, education, experience, skill sets, huge investment in tools and equipment, and general qualifications put me on another level entirely. Needless to say, I've shown the habitual know-it-all lowballers to the door, and my current clients fully understand that what they're getting from ME is the same as...or better than...they could get from a "big name" shop, but for considerably less money due to my very low operating overheads. BOTTOM LINE: UNTIL YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING FOR A LIVING...SUCCESSFULLY...YOU HAVE NO VALID INPUT AS TO HOW IT "SHOULD" BE DONE, OR WHAT IT "SHOULD" COST.

"Universe" includes everything, everywhere, and it always struck me as being unbelievably short sighted to call an Earth-girl beauty pageant "Miss Universe", cause there might be some pretty hot babes out there whose species aren't represented.
