For some dudes, having 1 is enough but others may do better having 2 or 3 monitors. If it makes you a better producer, that is all that matters.
He always had a soft voice. He can actually sing pretty decent too from what I heard. I like the track. Not a fan of ice cream but I like the song ha!
The dude earned his money, who cares how he spends it. I think it is pretty crappy when people try to say, oh you have money for this but you can't give your baby's mamma 20 grand a month!?

I am not a big fan of plastic surgery but if she is happy, I am happy for her. I know she had already had work done so it isn't a big deal to her. It does take guts though. There is a lot of risk with this kind of surgery so I have to give her some props for that alone.
If you believe in something and you feel it is best for your life, your family, and the future, you vote for it.
So many people today are "left or right... PICK A SIDE!" it is like the damn kit kat commercials. Politics ain't black and white, it just isn't that simple.

Nisei and other asian american veterans deserve respect from their for their valor and service, but uncritical deference blinds us from examining the deeper issues of asian american identity to allow uncompromising veterans and pro-war factions to brand lt watada as a modern day “no-no boy” and disavow him from asian america, is to fail.

Furthermore, the concept of an asian american identity is rooted in us soil it is an identity that does not travel well, since the nature of aligning oneself with others of asian descent has the most value within a us context (s wong 1995) claiming asian american as a political and ideological identity and asserting the epistemological.

In an effort to make some additional money on the side, Cameron Goodwin signed up for Turo, an app that allows owners to rent their personal vehicles out to those looking for a rental car. The app rents out rides from mild to wild and Goodwin’s Cadillac ATS-V certainly fell on the more “wild” end of the spectrum.
However, according to local news affiliate ABC 10, after a renter damaged his ATS-V, Goodwin was denied full reimbursement from Turo. The company stated he did not provide sufficient evidence of all the damage after the front bumper and wheel were damaged. However, that’s not what Goodwin said.
He said he immediately filed a claim with Turo following the accident, providing photos of every area damaged by the renter. A body shop quoted Goodwin over $4,000 to repair the ATS-V. Turo said it will cover just ten percent of the damages.
Turo defended itself saying the claim wasn’t received within 24 hours of the accident, but Goodwin repeatedly tried to contact the company following the incident as he was transferred to the wrong departments within the company, potentially costing him a full reimbursement.
“If it’s extremely necessary to have it in the 24 hours and to have that in there, someone needs to be available,” said Goodwin.
Another reason using these stupid apps from companies 90 million miles away is a dumb idea. When will Millennials learn?
Millennials will learn the proper way to conduct themselves when the old people die off leaving the young ones in control.
So let me get this straight you are upset at a young man for using technology to make his life better? This technology is the only thing this person has ever known. He grew up learning this is the way it use to be done but now with the aid of technology things are done easier, faster, and more efficient.
So in conclusion the person who seems off his rocker is you for not embracing the benefits of modern technology.
How is this about common sense? It appears that he followed the rules the company told him to follow and the company still doesn’t want to follow threw!
Renting of someone’s property is nothing new people have been doing this for decades. People are just using technology to set up the transactions.
maybe it is a generational thing but common sense would dictate that i never rent out my expensive car to a stranger.
in this case, the damage was obvious but what about the damage you might not see/detect for days/months later?
and trying to get any company to honor a policy or guarantee is a pain. you have your damaged car while they find every excuse not to pay up.
no thanks. as usual with this shared/gig economy, the easy money is made by the broker. just about all the risk is on the car owner.
I would not recommend this service to any car owners. If your car is in an accident, they may get it repaired, but they will not cover any diminished market value you suffer. This could be worth thousands to you if you have a valuable vehicle. Take it from someone that went through it, won a judgement against the company and still never saw a dime.
So the point of owning an ATS-V is to show off how much money you have? But then you rent it out, because you really don’t have that much money? Meet the new Cadillac, Melody Lee edition.
