You’ve gotten some half-answers on the tax issue here. There are two main types of tax exempt, municipal bonds. First, is the kind you’re thinking of - a town sells bonds to raise money to fix the roads or some other public interest. This type of bond, BURNERACCOUNTZ explains well enough. Notably, the…

Many of the costs you listed, like leasing, employees, etc. don’t go away in a direct sales model. Tesla still has showrooms in lots of places (in my neck of the woods, they’re in high end shopping malls, which are not cheap to get space in), still has employees to sell the cars, etc.

So, Josh Donaldson. You get what you’re given, in the physical appearance department. But what breaks inside a person to make them say “you know what, I want to look as much like busted, scarred meth head” to their barber after they sit in the chair?

“Fully loaded,” to my mind, implies that “the trailer plus the shit in it weighed 2,790 pounds.

Nope, he is reacting to this paragraph:

Fuck all of you yinzer cocksuckers with your god damned shit ass humblebrags.

That’s pretty stupid. Read OP’s link, it’s actually very well written and detailed.

Same.

No, sorry.

Bryant has already invested in Juicero, a company that has so far raised over $90 million to manufacture home juicers that cost $700 and require a $5-to-$7 proprietary packet to make a single glass of juice.

The link to the Crew Dragon page needs fixing; it’s linking to the Boeing page for Starliner.

I think it says a lot about a team and its fan when the most reasonable thing I read in this article (feature? blog?) is an idea about building a stadium out of a ship and sailing it around, like a shitty football river cruise.

Holy fuck, the comments on that PFT article...

Hey, Goose... I’m not calling you out for your level of passion - you’re probably a lot more wrapped up in the Yankees than I am, and that’s perfectly fine. I’m calling out the laughable notion that today, August 3rd, you’ve intimated that you’re going to buy tickets between now and the end of the season to “evaluate…

No, what you meant to say is that I’m the worst kind of person, because I don’t study the nuances of a 21 year old third base prospect’s footwork on a short hop ground ball, and instead enjoy the macro level competition.

Evaluate young talent? Fuck off. You aren’t evaluating shit, and certainly not from section 425.

Super Duty has two cargo box options– a 6.75-foot bed and an 8-footer, which have volumes of 65.4 and 78.5 square feet, respectively.

I think one of the major reasons why you don’t see large widebodies on a lot of routes currently flown by narrowbodies that could theoretically support it in terms of passenger volume is flexibility; a 73G flight every hour of the day between, say, NYC and Chicago, gives significantly more options than a flying a 773…

ANTS ON A LOG. Celery, with peanut butter in its little celery trench, with fucking raisins on top. It is a god damned gem and it’s nutritionally balanced. Yes, it takes longer to make than to eat, but ants on a log are basically jesus food.

Andrew, what I want to know, is how do I convince myself and my wife that I need one of these in my life. Like, I know deep down that I truly need one, but what’s the sales pitch?
