Really missing one of the key aspects of what makes the QPC so great: fresh beef, cooked to order. While the other beef patties are generally moving fast enough to be relatively freshly cooked (gets tossed after 15 minutes), they’re still cooked from frozen in batches. Only downside is that you have to wait for the…

There’s something to be said for the lettuce and sauce in a Big Mac. That said, you can order a QPC with those things (with a slight upcharge) and get a superior burger to both. But you can’t do it online. You have to do it live because they won’t sub mac sauce on the app.

Derivatives are not just for TVs. They are all over the consumer goods space. You know all those “outlet malls”? The ones that used to sell “factory seconds” or “last years models”. None of them actually do that anymore. They sell derivatives. Goods made with lower quality materials, less features, etc. And people…

We got a 48-inch LG A2 OLED at Best Buy for just over $600 after taxes on a Black Friday deal. It is, admittedly, a 48-inch TV (which in terms of screen real estate was all we had on the “larger” TV it replaced), but still ...

Don’t worry about brands so much as the panels themselves. There are 3 main panel manufacturers: Samsung, AU Optronics and LG (there are a few others but those are the big 3). Tons of the “house” brands and others use those panels. Find out which panel the TV you’re interested in uses and you can save hundreds by…

2023 (ish), in San Francisco, so....

I will never not stop and watch Ronin if I see it playing on some channel. I even love the rudimentary GPS they use to cut off the caravan.  “He’s yours.” is such a great line.

We’ve been trying to reach out about that warranty. 

Can’t we just watch Ronin?  

$2900 for anything running these days is NP. get the right expertise on this car at a good price and you can run it for a few more years. 

This is really random, but I promise it’s related. About 20 years ago, I worked with a local organization that did a haunted house every year as a fundraiser. That usually meant everything had to be as cheap as possible, everyone provided their own costumes and things. I usually did sets and makeup, and we rarely had…

Oh. I do. I’m 55.

“Everyone is “used” to paying these prices by now,”

Don’t worry, you can’t drive it too much either or you’ll get fined. 

It is in no way “the cheapest way to get a new car every few years”.
The article spells it out pretty clearly. The cheapest way is to buy a new car and then sell it in 3 years. Your net spend will be less than if you leased it, barring some real fringe cases. 

Leasing gives you:

All of your points are negated by the fact that you can buy a new car and sell it after 3 years and repeat. The only scenario where leasing ends up a “win” for the leaser vs having just bought the car outright from day 1 is when the depreciation of the car was grossly underestimated and you walk away from a car that…

I don’t really disagree with most of your points...my point is that many of the benefits have been neutralized due to the terrible car market.
