I worked for a Japanese company years ago and when budgets got tightened, one of the guys at our location ,who was from the home office, would go through our trip receipts and deduct the booze expenses from our meals. So we would not be reimbursed for that part. Which, on business trips to Japan, could be a somewhat… Read more

Bosozoku will always blow my mind because of it being in Japan. Those folks are committed because I have NO IDEA how they can build those rides into what they are and then strip them back for the shaken inspection every 4 years. I know there is a real streak of “don’t give a fuck” to that subculture, but to do it in a… Read more

Well, those Red Swinglines ARE pretty nice.  Read more

Indeed. I usually was able to get by with someone at a higher pay grade taking those checks. Read more

A similar transaction occurred with at least one other woman, whom Greenberg paid using his government-issued credit card, the Beast reports—that is, with taxpayer dollars. Seminole County auditors reportedly found some $300,000 in suspicious payments on the card. Read more

I await the design thrashing this thing should get from you guys. If you think the CR-V looks bad, this one is even worse. Read more

And then Mitsu NA made it possible! It damn near killed the company here in the US after everyone they sold cars to ended up defaulting on their loans. Read more

I found it kind of hilarious that Issa put in all that cash, CLEARLY in order to try to wrest the Governorship to himself and then we end up with the Governator. Who, actually, was pretty moderate as a Republican, so much so that the GOP at large decided to forget about trying to undo the natural born citizenship rule… Read more

I used to work in Huntington Beach and am so glad that I don’t anymore. That city has gotta be at the top of the heap of Southern California places that embraced idiocy over ANY sort of reason during the past year. Fuck, they even elected former MMA nimrod Tito Ortiz as Mayor Pro Tempore. Read more

I can’t have ANY goddamn fun these days. Read more

They should ask their new corporate pals, Mitsubishi, how well this works out. Read more

It’s an astonishing way for people to basically take NO RESPONSIBILITY for their own lives and actions. Read more

“I’m not here to provide any degree of evidence in support of Congressman Gaetz, only to discredit these baseless allegations,” he said. “I don’t have any specific knowledge on the investigation or any of the facts that are involved with the investigation.” Read more

Thanks! All I’ve tried to do is look after it well. I haven’t done too many things in the realm of modification either, so that has probably helped with the longevity of the drivetrain. That and dealing with an engine that was just about at the zenith of it’s development, so most of the bugs had been worked out by… Read more

On Friday afternoon, Gaetz’s spokesman and longtime aide, Luke Ball, resigned. If Gaetz’s confidants are getting the fuck out of dodge, there’s no telling what chaos the coming days will bring. Read more

He likely already is because he, himself, is staring down the barrel of a number of serious charges. Read more

Some of my coursework in becoming an Industrial Designer were classes in materials and processes (i.e. manufacturing). One of the projects we did was to design and make a pattern that was going to be sand cast at a local foundry. We also visited said foundry and while really fascinating, it was a really effective… Read more

Well Jason, I’ll now forever picture teams of Swedish Chefs developing load bearing batteries. Read more

I beg to differ. They’re clearly cost cutting phantoms and are integral to the development process. Read more
