Didn’t I...didn’t I say that fixed costs are a major expense? Fixed costs that don’t change? What I was hinting at is that colleges can’t just “cut tuition” for all virtual schooling because they still have to literally keep the lights on, however it’s also fair for students to be pissed as hell for paying full…

The most obvious sign of untenable tuition is the huge capital expenditures that colleges undertake (state of the art buildings, gym and exercise facilities, cafeterias, etc); however whenever I brought this up to people I know who work in academia, they tell me that they “need” these huge fancy buildings with lots of…

I will admit that I’m unaware of costs and fees and whatever associated with pubs in the UK. However, field business financial analysis is something I do in the US, and small bar / restaurants like what May bought are a big part of what I do.

Agreed. I was expecting this to be pricy, but figured it would be sorta just above the Palisade range, like $40-60k. Seeing the actual price made me feel ill.

Dear Apple:

The only difference between 120v and 240v is the amperage of the breaker, gauge of the wire, and size of the plug...

A Mirage starts at, what, $14k?  I’m talking about a car for a quarter of that. 

On the sedans, it tends to be stuck to the left trunk hinge.

I still contest that they would sell the snot of of something like this in the US if it could be federalized (it probably can’t, blah blah blah safety).

Reluctant NP only because of all the memories of Car Talk references to the Dart. $8k is stomachable though a bit spendy. It would be a solid NP at like $6750.

They rotate out the Secret Service officers. Newbies, usually, get the protection details. 

Couldn’t they just have taken the batteries and put them in busses? Better yet, take the wheels off the busses and put them on some fixed track. People could stand on these underground busses on tracks propelled by electricity, cramming more in.

In what universe is a Forester, at 182”, considered “huge”?!

I was going to say Outback, but definitely something Subaru-y. 

I just commented above, but basically: it depends on your application. For my life, and many peoples’, vertical space is as or more important than horizontal space. Lack of vertical space was why I got rid of a Sportwagen. 

As a former Golf sportwagen owner, I’m gonna add an asterisk to your statement, supporting it. Cubic feet doesn’t tell the whole story.

It seems like when people hear “cash”, they’re thinking literal savings ledgers. Brokerage accounts are essentially cash equivalents; if you have a checking account with the broker those trades are liquid almost immediately.

This logic is entirely too sound for the internet. Away with you! But seriously, you’re totally right.

First they came for our illuminated Spirits, and we did not stand up.

Console buttons free up space. Designers like that. Most suburbanite car buyers don’t care about fake-stick auto transmissions.
