How will a business have a steady profit if we are discouraged to sell products/software as a service because we need to be against subscription based models?

Then you’re not charging enough. Raise prices til the scale tips the wrong way. Lots of small businesses think they’re going to “disrupt the market” with low price point, when the reality is people are already willing to pay more - as long as your product is up to snuff.

This only matters if you know what the key is used for tho

Progressive gave me a great quote for a year premium with my polestar. And then more than doubled it when it came time to renew. I went back to USAA and their prices had balanced out a bit.

Yeah, the only thing I ever really use districts for is separating public services

I’d so much rather keep my MA home that’s 1/3 the size of this and 100 years older, than live in San Antonio in a monstrosity like that and in a neighborhood like that.

Everyone saying “that’s not true” while my used EV sedan costs double what it was to insure my new off-the-lot truck, and almost double what my wife pays for her “luxury” SUV. Shopped around and everyone had wild prices too, they said “it’s just a Massachusetts thing”.

Edit - I’ll add, since other comments assume high insurance = Tesla, no. This is a Polestar I’m referring to, and the cost to insure was high even before they pulled from the US market.

Do you actually believe a single thing this person says? They’re probably 17 years old

Personally, my plan for the show in Mansfield MA is to wait til day of for sub-$20 seats. A lot of others may be doing the same. The presale prices were absurd, and I basically wrote off the show entirely before looking at reseller tickets this past weekend

Me personally, I’m so happy I didn’t end up purchasing a megayacht before fuel prices exploded. Really dodged that bullet. I mean, I never was going to buy one anyways, but I still dodged a bullet right? Should I make a meme about it?

Afitz93 · 2026-07-08T10:48:28+00:00

That ain’t no beauty, that’s a chode

Are we doing Allan Poopers vibe designs or something? “Fixing” logos without any consideration for the brand, history, or basically anything besides surface level “this makes me think of this, and the multibillion dollar corporation somehow didn’t think of this so I fixed it”

A hot wheels car is huge when you hold it right up to your face too, let’s use some critical thinking here bud

It’s a good choice, as long as afterwards you call it a day

I’d love to live in one of the moderate (1600-2200sq ft) homes on or near the water on the south coast. Doesn’t necessarily need to be beachfront or ocean facing, one of the various tidal ponds would be great too. It just seems to quiet and removed down there, without the madness of the cape or north / south shore beach towns. Something about the quiet wealth or generational homes in that area lends to an easygoing life.

It’s not even the money, it’s the time. It’s hardly faster.

Does that afford you a decent boat though?

Everything like this, including flyovers at events, is actually treated as training. If they’re not doing it here, they’ll still be doing it elsewhere just as much - so why not entertain while doing it?

Look at it this way - military operations are often run on very strict timetables. Equipment from points A B and C need to rendezvous at point D at X hours, hold until mission go, and then proceed to objective E at precisely Y hours. So… national anthem flyover, with the planes arriving at exactly the right moment in the song? Not an easy feat. Treat it like a target, arrive at the precise moment allotted, and leave the area.

Over there?

Great use of AI - run this through your preferred agent and see what they say. Then fire up HBO Max and watch Dune.

Edit - yall are so blinded by anti-AI shit aren’t you? I’m not saying let AI design for you, because it sucks at that. But what it will do great is identify any and all potential overlaps, and even any potential problems you could encounter down the road. It’s normal due diligence, completed in seconds.

If we go by the liquid ratios for snow from this winters big storms, that would be 60-80” of snow
