I did the math!

Those wear items are covered, yes. 

It’s probably like a lease, you just pay tax on the payments.

It depends on where you live. I’m near Philly, auto insurance is $5-600 for an additional car, per six months. And this is with no accidents, all sorts of discounts, etc.

I’m a fan of blind spot monitoring (which usually comes with rear traffic alert/braking) and maybe front auto emergency braking. Radar cruise and LKA are more annoying than anything. LKA on a twisty non-highway road drives me nuts.  

I’ve driven an Outback that yells at you constantly to pay attention, EVEN WHEN YOU ARE, if it’s not happy where your eyes are pointed. Annoying as heck. If you want me to pay attention to the road, fewer beeps and lights and vibrations please. 

Yeah, I’m definitely a trackball...uh, fingerer?...and can’t imagine I’d have as much control using Logitech’s thumb ball. 

Holy shit and congrats! Very well deserved to be a front page author. Your technical articles are the best. I’m very excited to read your stuff!

But they’re not. Debt is debt, be it bonds or private notes. The schools have gone into some type of debt to build / furnish capital expenditures and need student dollars to pay this debt. Whether it is “tuition” or room & board or fees is immaterial - they need revenue, especially in the face of decreased state…

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.
