    Defensive Rifle Zero Distance, Dont think that military zero is correct for you!

    I shot an assailant at a lasered 108 yards under nods last night from my porch. Now granted, they were assaulting my lawn, and were the size of a healthy loaf of bread, but this kit has more uses than the politicians try to convey.

    Anything wrong with 2016-2019ish Subaru WRX?

    Depends on the company. State Farm insures anything I've bought for about the same amount. 505hp Z06 or 4 cylinder CX5 SUV. $50 diff/mo, lol

    Anything wrong with 2016-2019ish Subaru WRX?

    Nah man, you need to look for a dealer service history on schedule. Plenty of hoons buy a cheap commuter car like this to beat on.

    Anything wrong with 2016-2019ish Subaru WRX?

    If it's stock, it's pretty boringly reliable. The problem also is that unless you're throwing it into the corners, it's pretty boring in general, unless you're not the one paying for a clutch replacement and like redline clutch drops. Otherwise it's a total dog.

    Retirement investing...

    It often kills people in my field. Stroke, heart attack, suicide, etc. Just means I need less money to retire all things considered.

    Retirement investing...

    That's the thing. It's one of the few ways to get money where I am off a significant amount of time. Very torn there, and who is to say I wouldn't end up just as bad off elsewhere? Nah, I'll stick around. Besides. I'll probably not need as much to retire if I don't live as long, rofl!

    I miss doing city maintenance. If the pay were there, I'd be back ASAP. Also, yes, my job is massively complex.

    It's very complex. When the pay is trash, you have to get creative and tailor your individual tact to each team member. That's part of where being a successful leader vs paper pushing idiot differentiates in performance.

    I typed a bunch of stuff, but you wouldn't get it unless you've served, or worked in an industry where people die, and you are expected to deal with violence, so I just erased it and will say that yes, I can motivate a team in the most disgusting of situations, and that is most of what my job...

    Retirement investing...

    That makes sense. I can access a bonus if I take on another department's job, but that's just corporate being lazy and wanting to pay several people $3k/year each to do the job of a $80k/year+benefits employee.

    Retirement investing...

    Ooohhh! I do remember one time. They didn't pay me for over a years worth of shift differential and when they did it was taxed like a bonus. That kindof sucked.

    Retirement investing...

    That's insane. Literally getting paid...to do what you're paid to do. Typically I just threaten to leave every 5 years or so unless I get a cost of living adjustment. After fighting about it for 6mo, so far I've been successful each time. It's posts like these that remind me of why I do what I...
