Yep, “it’s a BMW” does not mean it’s expensive.

thats an older E90 prior to 2008, from the exhaust 328i. not worth more than $5-7000 right now.

At least in CA, sales tax is only for goods, not services.

You should clarify further— as you say, sales taxes are collected from the customer, not paid by the business. They are just a flow-through, so no, they would not impact profitability of uber. Also, generally speaking, sales taxes don’t apply to services.

Why would they be paying taxes on negative taxable income?

That’s not “saying as much” that’s coming to a conclusion about a video’s purpose, when the video explicity states it’s purpose.

Well it’s click baity because the video ITSELF from Faraday states in black and white 10 seconds into the video that is it ONLY a 0-60 test. The way the article presents itself is that Faraday did some fudging of some kind because they only tested on “part” of the track. The author then goes into all this well a…

It says three seconds into the video that it’s a 0-60 mph test. In graphics. Right there for you. Why did you just try to write an article acting as if you’re deducing what is actually shown. There’s nothing sneaky about it, and this article kind of pisses me off. Both because it’s click baity as all hell and because…

There’s nothing to see here, everyone go home.

Cliff notes-

It’s so easy to write him off, and the indie acoustic vibe doesn’t fully work for him, but his album was so...melancholy and introspective that I appreciate it. He’s an amazing songwriter, and I’m glad that he was able to come back and find success as a more mature performer.

I Took in a Pill in Ibiza is excellent. Its wonderfully introspective. When Kanye complains about buying a bunch of expensive junk to fill an emotional hole it still sounds like he’s bragging. Posner actually makes it hollow and sad (especially the bit about trying to impress Avichi). Plus Posner actually disavowed…

OK.. this is NOT Comcast.. it’s a subcontractor with the comcast logo on the side - jeez.

He has bad taste. I’m sure his clothes are ill-fitting and his apartment interior a drab hell. Perhaps if he had put half the effort of his attempts to be high brow into actually watching the movie his is critiquing, we may have learnt something worthwhile about the film. Instead, we got a word salad that even the…

To pen an authentic and intellectual cinema review – the kind worthy of publication in America’s snootiest airport magazine – one must remember to include countless, such as it were, asides and clauses, seemingly without a purpose other than rendering one’s prose an inarticulate gruel of half thoughts, all while…

This sentence sounds like it was written by a man who wants us to be impressed because he knows a bunch of big words...

I keep thinking back to my high school English teacher. If I had turned that in as a sentence in an essay, he would have handed it back to me and said “You like to show off? How about you diagram this sentence for the class.”

Here’s his list of the 35 best films of 2016. Bonus points if you’ve even heard of half of them. http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/the-best-movies-of-2016

I know a lot of thing are “the worst”, but Richard Brody really is the worst. I have no idea where to even start with that guy. He sucks.

It made a lot more sense once I read this:
