    PSA - Powerball jackpot is now $550 million USD (2018 edition)

    If you are a foreign national, wouldn't you pay your local income tax rate and not pay any US taxes? If you aren't a US resident I can't see how you would be liable. The Powerball website seems to think that's the case too. Nice problem to have!

    Vegas hurt by low tipping foreigners

    I really don't like Vegas because of the "tipping for everything" culture. I'm from Europe and lived in the US for 8 years. For the record, I do tip, but what annoys me is the whole opaqueness of why people should tip at all. Tipping for great service, yes. Tipping for any service? Why should...

    Is this a scam?

    Def not a scam in the sense that Ebay now do this. I sold a satellite receiver box a month ago and the funds werent released to me until the buyer did positive feedback (which they did within a day of getting it). If they dont give feedback you have to wait 30 days for your money.

    Anybody here ever work @Enterprise Rent a Car?

    Yes, it can be long hours but i wouldnt say it was hard work. You get to learn a lot about how to run a business, you get paid as a manager off the profits, so if your branch does well, then you do too. The system is designed to keep promoting you, if you can make area manager you really have it...

    WTF National Car Rental gouging stranded travelers at Denver for 700 bucks for car rental.

Its not just the costs of paying people to get it, its the wear and tear, gas, and loss of revenue from...

    WTF National Car Rental gouging stranded travelers at Denver for 700 bucks for car rental.

    I worked as a manager for Enterprise Rent A Car in Pittsburgh for 3 years. I dont know about other companys but each region of ERAC owns their own cars and especially if a car goes out of state one way, it HAS to go back to the original area, the destination area branches cant use that car at...

    Here's a question on piracy and Star Wars

    I had the laserdisc box set of the original trilogy with a hardback book, the quality of the discs themselves was terrible, they were already degrading back in 1997, goodness knows how watchable they are now. I remember there were a lot of laserdiscs with manufacturing defects, was a shame...
