Lol I'm still in college and I personally had paid all of mine off (not including upcoming classes that haven't happened yet)... but I still have a car payment.....

Worst part is that I should have waited on paying them off... because now my job is telling me that when I go from temp to one of their employees that they'll pay for my school...

That would be true. Expecting the full time any day now which will include a raise and benefits.

My sad part is that I've only been semi-successful paying mine off because I still live with my parents. *Sigh*

On my current salary, I can't afford to move out quite yet. Which kind of sucks but hey I'm paying for my own school, car, food, etc. Rent, especially in CA, is way to high for me to consider my own place. and with 20k a year salary? good luck.

I'm peanut butter and jealous.

I don't know why there's an application error when I try to quote posts on my work computer, but it sucks. It makes responding to people difficult.

@MisterSheep Well, I make more than that and live in an area cheaper than CA and I still can't afford it. But, I pay all the same stuff. I even pay my parents rent. It's just difficult. I could maybe, maybe scrape together enough for rent, but I'd be pay check to pay check and I can't stand the thought of that.

When I think of motor I think of it being electric powered

While Engine is a combustion/ fuel powered.

I just kinda notice it, kringe a little bit, then it passes over.

I was one that made it my mission. It was my thermodynamics prof that got me started on that kick. His reasoning was that a motor/generator is a transducer which reversibly converts electrical energy to mechanical and vice versa. An internal/external combustion heat engine extracts thermal energy from an irreversible process.

For us, he was making the distinction between a transducer versus an engine. Gleefully, his students all drank the Kool-Aid and set out to rescue the world. We were wrong. :/

@Nevermore, i get the same error trying to quote at work when I go to actually submit it. Just copy the text including their original quote from the quote screen and paste it all in the quick reply box. You can always open the quote screen in a new tab to save time going back. #firstworldworkarounds

Or you know have it set to all like a normal person

Random thought.

Was looking at the new appartment complex the GF's mom might be moving into and a nearby doorstill had swastikas on it.
