    <p>in my previous life, we had a debt to collect for about $12,000, we gave the guy the option to pay it off up front, $9,000.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Ignored.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>We took it to court.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Court ended up ordering him to pay $15,000.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>He started paying, stopped after about a year. We offered him the $12,000 to pay up front, he ignored. As this had been through the courts already, when we contacted the courts, an arrest warrant was issued. He handed himself in, this happened a couple of times more.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Long story short, he ended up owing $21,000. When I finished working there, he had paid $8,000 or so of the debt, $13,000 to go...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Burying your head in the sand is not a good idea.</p>

    <p>It never ceases to amaze how some people are not only incredibly stupid but ignore the extra warning signs of their friends saying 'wait while I get my phone out to film this'</p>

    <p>Since it's Christmas, time for some funnies. To start, here's one of my all time favourite news stories:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/immigration-officer-sacked-for-putting-wife-107487'>http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/immigration-officer-sacked-for-putting-wife-107487</a></p>
    <p> </p>
    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
    <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:rgb(44,44,44);">An immigration officer put his own wife on a terrorist watch list – ­so she could not get home from a trip to Pakistan.</span></span></span></p>
    <p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'PT Sans', sans-serif;color:rgb(44,44,44);"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">The officer was so sick of his partner that when she was visiting family overseas he added her name to the register of people banned from flights into the UK.</span></span></p>
    <p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'PT Sans', sans-serif;color:rgb(44,44,44);"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">When she went to the airport to get her return flight back, officials told her she could not board the plane and did not ­explain why.</span></span></p>
    <p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'PT Sans', sans-serif;color:rgb(44,44,44);"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">She called her husband, who ­promised to look into it – but left her stuck in Pakistan for THREE YEARS. He was sacked after bosses found out about his antics.</span></span></p>
    <p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'PT Sans', sans-serif;color:rgb(44,44,44);"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">An immigration source said: “A lot of people may dislike their other halves but to do this takes it to the next level. Needless to say she was confused when she got to the airport as she had never been involved in anything criminal or terrorist related.</span></span></p>
    <p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'PT Sans', sans-serif;color:rgb(44,44,44);"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">“She obviously thought her husband, being an immigration officer, would be able to find out what was going on. Little did she know it was him who had put her on the list. By all accounts he then had the time of his life.”</span></span></p>
    <p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'PT Sans', sans-serif;color:rgb(44,44,44);"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">The officer worked with a unit that puts terror and criminal suspects on the watch list of people “not conducive to the public good”. He simply had to log on to a computer database to add his wife as a ­potential suspect.</span></span></p>
    <p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'PT Sans', sans-serif;color:rgb(44,44,44);"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">The officer was caught out when bosses vetted him after he went for a promotion that required him to have a higher level of security clearance. They realised his wife was on the watch list and asked him for an explanation. ­He had no choice but to confess what he had done – and was fired.</span></span></p>
    <p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'PT Sans', sans-serif;color:rgb(44,44,44);"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">The immigration source added: “He may have lost his job but he is bit of a legend in immigration circles. It will be talked about for years as the officer who hated his wife so much he put her on a watch list.”</span></span></p>
    <p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'PT Sans', sans-serif;color:rgb(44,44,44);"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:14px;">A spokesman for the UK Border Agency, based in Croydon, Surrey, said: “We expect the highest ­levels of integrity. ­Allegations of misconduct are ­thoroughly ­investigated and we ­always take ­action swiftly where we find members of staff who have abused their position. On the extremely rare occasions where this occurs, the strongest action is taken.”</span></span></p>

    <p>That is one of the best things I've read in ages.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Its the sort of thing that should be stepped thru in a lecture or something to educate the average person. I dont even live in NZ but I bookmarked it for when I do & someone rips me off.  </p>

    <p>Big implications for reusable technology, and the cost savings associated with it.</p>

    <p>All successfully deployed. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>That is fucking big. If SpaceX can refurb their equipment and start getting the cost per kg of space transport into "reasonable" territory, there will be investors and other companies looking at the model as a capital investment.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Compare this to the traditional model which is cost plus, where the more time contractors spend helping NASA, the more they make. Competition will make things hoot along and leave these guys behind.</p>
