Do you have any reason to believe that the dollar theaters have become more prevalent?

Really don’t think it’s super-common. Driving to work at all is unusual in NYC, only about 15% of New Yorkers drive to work.

I really don’t get this business model. Average ticket price in the US is slightly below $9. So, if a customer goes to see two movies, MoviePass is losing money on them. Seems like they’ve got to be assuming at least one of the following:

Actually, ticket prices have gone up slightly below the rate of inflation over the last 40 years. Average ticket price in 1977 was $2.23, which is $9.26 in 2017 dollars, slightly above the current average of $8.84.

The issue isn’t commercial drivers, it’s mom and dad with a Uhaul box truck.

People often have odd ideas about geography. I was going to Japan for a series of meetings, and a salesperson asked, since I was over there, if I could do a meeting with a client of his in Singapore. I had to point out that his request was roughly akin to saying “if you’re going to be in NYC, can you swing by LA for…

As I said, no need to rush over, but slowing down to “teach someone a lesson” is rude, in my view. Fundamentally, the left lane is for passing and drivers in the left lane should yield to faster traffic. Again, go ahead and complete the pass, but I see no reason to take _longer_ to complete the pass because someone…

So why when you guys travel to say NJ, do you feel the need to drive like you own the road, break the speed limits like you have a limitless supply of money and get out of jail free cards, and for the most part pull the same stupid shit everyone else does?

While I’m with MoparMap on “don’t need to gun it because someone’s coming up behind me,” intentionally slowing down while passing is pretty passive aggressive.

my 2.8 mile commute when I moved to West LA which was 45 min.

Only if you make friends with a very elderly person and become his or her roommate. Rent stabilized, doable, rent controlled, no way.

Honestly, that looks to be in amazingly good shape, considering.

Really, the only metric that’s relevant here is “how many additional subscriber-months will having these specials generate for Netflix?” If it turns out that people who like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are already very likely to be Netflix subscribers, but people who like Amy Schumer are less likely to be, then you…

This wasn’t a “going 45 in a 35 zone” issue. Looking at that wreck, no way he was going anything under 2x the limit when he lost control.

It means if you drive recklessly and cause serious injury.

You really want to dump the portion of the state that generates 70% of the state income tax revenue, even though it’s only 60% of the state’s population?

It is amazing how much power has increased in cars across the board. You can get 270hp in a CAMRY, for God’s sake.

Assuming it actually runs, I have a difficult time thinking how this wouldn’t be great fun for a leisurely drive on a nice day. NP all the way.

While technically true, for the audience for which this article is intended, it’s entirely reasonable to say the house always has the edge.
