4·12 hours agoI gotta argue against the games costing more compared to cola. A new Nintendo game in 1988 was $40 to $50. At that time hamburger was 99 cents, a value meal from a fast food place was $4, a house was $80,000, a new car was $10k to $18k, and you were pretty much a Middle class family if you made $45k\year. Some original NES games even hit $60 a piece.
So videogames are one of the few things that haven’t kept with inflation. In no small part due to more people purchasing games and less physical overhead, but that doesn’t take away from my stance. 40 years later and a game price has gone up by like $20.

2·1 day agoYou missed my point. It’s trying to state you can offset the higher cost of living in one of those areas because your saving $1000 a month by not owning a car. That $1000 a month figure is bullshit. So is the cost difference between living in a walkable city vs outside of one only being $1000 in many places. Like a small home in the walkable area of Kansas City is around $400,000, while a similar home 10 miles away is $200,000. That’s a lot more than a grand a month difference if you’re getting a mortgage. Like twice as much.

7·1 day agoOr worse. I think it was the original Ninja Turtles movie that I had owned on DVD and the quality of it kind of sucked. Years later I got it on blu ray and I swear they just ripped one of the DVD copies to make the blu ray disc.

41·1 day agoIt mattered more back in the analog days, I think. Now that it’s all digital, and going through dac’s, its all just about being good enough for 1’s and 0’s to get through. “Noise” doesn’t exist for digital audio. It either works, or it doesn’t.

2·2 days agoThe post is also about cars costing you a thousand dollars a month that you could be saving. That number is just silly. You can have a car for significantly less.
Also, you’re talking like you can just eliminate all of the small towns and housings and redo them to group them up. Any small places like that would still need to own vehicles in order to leave those small towns when needed. Not owning a vehicle is only a possibility in larger cities. Especially if you have to work outside of your town.

31·2 days agoWhat I dislike about the fuckcars instance. Ignorant people who just think people only live in big cities with public transport and that all of their families and friends and relatives they want to see are all there a mere bus ride or train trip away. Just ignorant to 90% of the land people live on. Most of the country requires a vehicle.

2·2 days agoLol. Not even remotely close for a Gen 2 Prius. I dunno where you live, but you’d be insane to pay $15k for one of those. There’s a nice one for sale with under 100k miles on it right now for $5,000 that’s about 20 minutes away from my house right now. That one happens to be a good deal, but at the same time, it’s been up for sale for a few weeks now.
Special note: avoid buying a 2010-2014 Prius. Especially an 11 or 12. Head gasket seal issues. If recognized early when they start to leak it’s not a big problem if you know how or are willing to learn to replace yourself. Full day job if you’re not used to doing that sort of thing. Expensive job if you have to pay someone else to do it. If the problem is ignored you’ll end up needing an engine and likely a catalytic converter.
It’s pretty easy to find a 2015 under 150k miles for under $10k.

7·2 days agoMy house is charged. It’s a fire hazard.
It is waaaaaaay more likely that they’ll be an issue with an EV or ice car in your garage to catch fire than a storage battery like this. This or sodium batteries can’t have a runaway thermal “event”. The chemical reactions aren’t there for it.

6·2 days agoDepends on what you’re able to learn and do yourself and what you buy. I bought a Gen 2 Prius with 160,000 miles on it with a hybrid battery issue. I could buy a nicer one for less money right now than I could back then. It’s currently at 284,000 miles and not showing a hint of slowing down. One of my tpms transmitters went out recently, so that will cost me $100 for 4 new ones next time I replace my tires. I don’t like seeing the yellow light for it on my dash. Lol

4·2 days agoThe sodium batteries rolling out to market right now should be good for it. Just waiting for them to get out and into use for a few years to make sure their isn’t any immediate unforseen bugs. I just want a 30 year battery and not a 10 year, and time itself degrades lithium based batteries quite a lot. They can make one that will last over 500,000 ev miles, but don’t count on it doing it and lasting 20+ years.

221·2 days agoA grand a month for a car? Only if you can afford to blow money. I bought my car used 6 years ago for $4,000. Between repairs and maintenance, tires, oil, repairs, etc I’ve spent about another $4,500. Plus $1,000 a year fuel (Prius). And $800 a year on insurance. So my all in cost is like $280 a month and dropping the longer I keep it. Plus what I can get from selling it.

32·3 days agoMy only “opinion” was just a fact. You didn’t read the article before writing up in the comments. You then confirmed the fact yourself.
You also have no clue what the screen name used on the only fans was.
So what exactly, in your opinion, do you think Only Fans did that is grounds to sue them for? I’m pretty anti large corporation, but I also think stupid lawsuits are just that.






Yeah. Those hands aren’t small enough.
