I had a roommate who insisted on using Spanish words. My other roommate who also spoke Spanish sided with him. Neutralizing my advantage from taking so many English courses in college.
I was surprised at how the quality of the turntables don't seem to match the quality of 35 years ago.
That's one of the reasons why I haven't jumped on the vinyl bandwagon. I also have that problem with typewriters. A typewriter from 40 years ago could easily last 20 years (I had one that did). A typewriter from today is a cheap knockoff made by the same company that won't last a few years.
I'm waiting for eight track tapes to make a come back. It is, after all, the 40th anniversary of "Smokey and The Bandit". I need to get my Jerry Reed on the road.
Because your idiotic babble gets hard to follow at times.
That's because you're trying so hard to discredit me that you're confusing yourself with your own line of bullshit. What is it about fat people that makes you and other asshats so stupid?
A successful YouTube channel can generate 50K-60K Australian dollars per year, like EEVBlog.
That isn't Dave's only source of revenue. He sells electronic gear and t-shirts, affiliate links for products he reviewed, and accepts donations from viewers. A successful business should have at least 30 sources of income. YouTubers who rely exclusively on YouTube for income are screwed by the advertiser boycott and plummeting ad rates. I saw my rate go from $1.00 per 1K views to $0.70 per 1K view for one of my channels.
You're making MAYBE 150$ a year given your approximately 1000 hours you put into it.
Sorry, mate. That's how much I made this month for traffic-related ad revenues from Slashdot. All I have to do is consistently post two dozen comments per day. While everyone piss, moan and groan about my comments, curious readers check out my blog (homepage link above) or author website (preorder link below).
When I was working in construction in the late 1980's, I had a subscription to the WSJ. One day I saw an article about General Dynamics being a beaten down stock at $20 per share. I did some more research and bought ten shares. I made $40 in dividends over four years, and sold at $80 per share. Commissions back then were murder at $60 per trade.
Come on, I am 5'8'', 160 lbs and I can beat the shit out of you anytime.
I'll gladly let you beat the shit out of me — and watch the police haul your sorry ass away. One guy thought I was joking about that, but I explained the situation to him: 1) he would rot in prison, 2) his wife would divorced him and marry the man that she's having an affair with, and 3) his daughter would have an excellent stepfather to take care of her. His bravado disappeared in a hurry. Last I heard he wasn't in prison but his wife divorced him, married the other guy, and his daughter loves her stepfather more than him. Sad.
Oh, no. What I did to him was much worse: I enrolled in college and started my technical career. Last I heard he was still a drug addict and living on welfare. His father shut down the family business after three generations when he retired ten years ago.
You're working 18 hours a day to pull down 50k per year.
Nope. The day job that pays the bills is $55K per year with benefits. I've never stated how much cash flow that the side business generated. But don't let a lack of information stop you from speculating how many extra half-cents I make.
Meanwhile, the successful people are working 40-50 hours a week, and spending that extra time with their families, friends, and doing things that foster their spiritual, social, mental, and physical growth.
You mean when I was working 60 hours a week as a lead video game tester, attending two programming classes at the community college, going to church and teaching Sunday school? I'm not as young as I used to be. I'm taking life at a much slower pace these days.
If I was an "abject failure," I wouldn't be getting up at 4:30AM to go to my day job that pays the bills, come home and work until 10PM on my side business that brings in the cash flow.
He found out the hard way that I don't start fights but I do finish them. That always surprised people. Just because I'm fat doesn't me I'm a pushover.

People still buy dictionaries? I tossed out the ones I had from 20 years ago because I needed the shelf space for my manga collection.
I had a roommate who insisted on using Spanish words. My other roommate who also spoke Spanish sided with him. Neutralizing my advantage from taking so many English courses in college.
First post and things have already degenerated to the level of referencing Nazis?
That's a lowercase 'n', you insensitive clod!
This book is on my reading list: "Word by Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries" by Kory Stamper. The author recently had an opinion piece in The New York Times, and The New York Times previously had an article on her workplace, Merriam-Webster.
How would the same company make a knockoff???

Funny. That's the same discussion Apple engineers had with Steve Jobs about bringing iTunes to Windows.
Japanese hipsters get their own dedicated power pole for $10K to $40K each to run their audio equipment.

you're diluting your own "personal brand"
There's only one personal brand. I do have other brands that are not about me. Shocking, I know.
then get upset when a very entertaining, intelligent, handsome, and well-hung individual signs up "cdreimer" to make fun of you?
An episode that resulted in five user accounts being deleted. Yes, I'm aware that there are other fake user accounts lurking about.
Make your own
And settle for once and for all whether I have dick big enough to suck on daily or a puny little dick that makes an ape proud?
You told us that you "finished" the fight with him by punching him in the mouth.
I did.
But then you change your tune and suddenly "enrolling in college and starting a technical career" is somehow showing him something.
I enrolled in classes the very next day. Fast forward 27 years later, I'm a tech professional and he's a drug addict.

Didn't the Obama administration send pallets of cash into Iran which disappeared without a trace?
That money went to the Iranian government. It didn't disappear without a trace like the money that got sent to prop up the Iraqi government.
Your channels? Like the video of a bee on your jacket?
That's one video on one channel. Do you think I do everything under one pen name?
So much for "private and confidential", huh Chris?
I've been tossing around the ad revenue figure for months now.
And I doubt next month will generate anything once people realize what a monotonous boring fool you are.
Maybe, maybe not. Let's see if someone tries to top the dick pics this weekend.

I thought they did regional print on demand to avoid the high shipping costs.
OP is probably thinking of the time when the Federal Reserve sent pallets of cash into Iraq that disappeared without a trace.

You need to go to YouTube. Philip DeFranco covered the "nothing burger" in his show yesterday.

Did you shoot him?!
Oh, no. What I did to him was much worse: I enrolled in college and started my technical career. Last I heard he was still a drug addict and living on welfare. His father shut down the family business after three generations when he retired ten years ago.

You're an abject failure.
If I was an "abject failure," I wouldn't be getting up at 4:30AM to go to my day job that pays the bills, come home and work until 10PM on my side business that brings in the cash flow.
What happened? Did he reach for your sandwich?
He found out the hard way that I don't start fights but I do finish them. That always surprised people. Just because I'm fat doesn't me I'm a pushover.
There's no way you're making any appreciable money from the utter horseshit I've seen from you.
According to the Slashdot consensus, I'm making a lot of half-pennies.
You'd be fired within two weeks for any number of reasons.
The only time I was ever fired was when I worked my father and I punched the boss's grandson in the mouth. That was 27 years ago.
