    is $100,000 / year still a good salary?

    Considering I know very few families who make anything close to 100k a year, let alone as an individual, yes. It is still very good. Unless for some reason you think a big ass house and nice cars are necessities on top of a bunch of other toys and luxuries. Yes, location matters, but on a whole...

    does it really cost them 30-40% more to make a stainless steel appliance?

    Fridges are more complex in that you have models with the freezer on the top (cheapest), side-by-side (mid), and bottom (crazy pricey). Usually its just that the control board might have an extra relay or two for a top end fridge that controls a damper (a little flap between the freezer and...

    does it really cost them 30-40% more to make a stainless steel appliance?

    Having worked for a major appliance manufacturer, the mark-up is not even remotely close to what the price difference of production is. People are willing to pay more, though. I'm sure everyone knows that. Knowing the exact difference between a low end appliance and the stupid expensive ones is...

    How much is your rent?

    $495 a month for a 1/1, 700 sq ft apartment. Signed up when they were offering a special and got one month free rent, so sits right at $450 a month realistically. I pay $25 a month for high speed internet (get half off for a year, its awesome) and my utilities per month is like $30. Roughly...

    Are you salary OR hourly? Do you like it or wish you had it the other way?

    Based from what I've seen so far, I'd want hourly (or salary+overtime, didn't know about that). I'm not sure if that is common for engineering jobs. Maybe if the atmosphere were laid back, and nobody cared about time as long as you got things done, and they respect your time, I'd be OK with...

    hate this

    Not gonna lie, I'm a pretty shallow dude. There is nothing wrong with the girl in those pictures...plus, I prefer the way she looks in the first picture. You really need to change the way you look at things. I know I'm overly critical of others' appearances. Usually the shit I nit-pick about...

    WOOT! Got my first paycheck yesterday!

    I'm far too lazy to go to the bank to cash a check every week, or carry around a large amount of bills in my pocket and have to pay the correct amount rather than swipe a card. At most I have like $30 for those few archaic places from the stone age who only take cash :P

    Washing your hair

    Every day. I'm black, it'd smell terrible and be greasy as a mother if I didn't. Don't really care about hair health because I shave my head weekly. It'd take a lot to fuck up week old hair.

    WOOT! Got my first paycheck yesterday!

    Feels fan-fucking-tastic. Just got back from enjoying a night out, spending a bit of the money I just got lol. Gotta say it feels very different when you've actually worked for what you spend rather than having it handed to you. Felt like an old man when I considered what I'll do with the money...

    WOOT! Got my first paycheck yesterday!

    Roughly 25% :colbert: They included a lump sum for my living expenses in the check though. Those got taxed into fucking oblivion (35%+ easily) but thankfully they worked it out so that, after taxes, I received the exact amount. Somehow, travel expenses slipped by :hmm:

    WOOT! Got my first paycheck yesterday!

    First job (if you count internships) and I elected to get my first paycheck in paper form rather than direct deposit. For shits and giggles. All I can say is...holy fuck D: taxes

    What are your New Years resolutions?

    - Work out - Eat healthier (which in my case means to actually eat, 6' 165lbs). :hmm: - Wake up before 1PM daily. All pretty much tie in together so I figure its doable if I care enough. Any more and it becomes a chore.

    Anyone who tells me all Southerners are stupid

    Not from Texas, but is liken to an emblem of the gods by the alumni, tailgaters (tailgators?), and students of this town. I nary understand their fanaticism of sports any more than a pauper can understand the vices of the wealthy, so I retreat to my humble nerdy musings.

    Do you dig scarves?

    I live in Florida. It gets cold (around 20F), but not cold enough for men to traipse around in scarves and not look like a tool, or worse, a hipster. Proof: Q.E.D.

    Money printing machine operator, apparently. and lol at ATOT 100k isn't rich, but it sure is comfortable. Pretty sure its more than enough if you aren't a complete dipshit with money.
