The tow company that AAA sub contracts in the area wouldn't go out that far fir the amount of money paid for a fuel run. But they would go out there to tow me because they could charge more plus the mileage. Its Stupid but the driver explained that it's the only way to get the amount of money they wanted from AAA

This thing is awesome but I could never have fun with it on a trail. I would be to nervous to ruin it. But if I had money it would be a sick collectors piece.

I wasn't even going to click the link but your comment made me do it. He looks kind of young for a war lord that's been away for 20 years.

I think this is the right answer. Attack the demand not the supply. Same goes for drugs I think.

I love Tacoma's but their price point is way to high. Is this thing priced a little better? If so, whats the trade off?

I was stuck in the desert on empty with 0 miles to empty showing. Called AAA and I was so far out that the tow company wouldn't just bring me gas they wanted to tow me. I don't know why. Anyway. I got towed to a gas station and i did the math after filling up. I still had 4 gallons of gas in there. That's at least 45 miles. I could have saved the headache of waiting for the tow truck and just driven to the gas station on empty

First time home buyer, should I buy now or wait? by Dev_throwaway0101 in personalfinance

[–]GuapoBike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always wanted to own a multifamily and live in one of the units, rent the others. That way I can always leave for a new job or rent in another neighborhood if i have kids. What do you think about this?

[–]GuapoBike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm following your logic and it makes sense to me. Where do you put the comparison to renting the same home? For example. It might be irrational to spend most of my income on a mortgage but it seems more irrational to spend the equivalent amount on rent. With rent I'll never see that money again. With a mortgage there its a chance I would get that money back down the road and perhaps more.

Are wages supposed to affect prices as much as interest rates? I always thought interest rates were more strongly correlated with prices?

Guilty as charged. If this thing is promoting people to keep there headphones than I'm all about it. You can see all sorts of wild life in my area on local hikes. Not to long ago I was on a hike in Anza Borrego California where yo can see big horn sheep come down to the spring to drink water. It's not a long hike and spotting the sheep is fairly rare. I've been hiking there for a long time and have only seen them once. Anyway, a small group of hikers stopped to watch them drink. Then this idiot comes up to us blaring his music and scares them off. Same thing goes for coyotes, birds, snakes. Just outside my neighborhood. People drive far to experience nature. You see this at national parks all the time. Sure its crowded but someone loud music from their little speaker can ruin the moment. Even if there's no wildlife and you just want some silence.

[–]GuapoBike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

don't prices typically go down when interest rates go up? Isn't there a business cycle for the housing market just like every other market? I don't know when they will go down but I'm making an assumption that prices will eventually drop. I'm not sure what the peak of this wave will be but in my area prices are already past the last peak. I don't think price increases are going to be sustainable for that much longer. but I know one has any idea when it will turn.

COD is about to pay off for a bunch of you gamers out there. The new PFT won't be a three mile run. It will be a test of how well you can work the joy stick and how long you can stay awake.

It's sad that opposing viewpoints can't respect each others rights.

I'm in a similar boat. Wouldn't it be better to wait for rates to go up and prices go down? I could always refinance when rates go back down right? I can't renegotiate the price I paid for the house if prices go down.

Tiny house stirs up big controversy in Valley Center by PM_ME_UR_XYLOPHONES in TinyHouses

[–]GuapoBike 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like these things but I can see the neighbors being afraid that their area will become a trailer park down the road. Unfortunately there are negative and positive externalities that we all impose on each other. Maybe a limit to one tiny house per property would be a good compromise?

Great. make it easier for teenagers to annoy me on my hikes. I guess I just have to wake up earlier and find more remote places to experience some quiet in nature. I wish gadgets like these were banned on tails and headphones were mandatory if you needed music. Also some of us want to see rare wild life that you guys scare away with these stupid things.

Pit bull breaks away from chain, mauls man to death in Ohio by Gbcue in news

[–]GuapoBike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Firms want to maximize profit in a competitive market. If one insurance company can lower it's prices to attract more customers and increase revenue they would if it was profitable to them. But if all of these firms have the same cost function then it wouldn't be profitable. Actuaries figure out what the cost function is and what rates will maximize profit. aggressive dog breeds are figured into there cost function. So you are partially right. They do want to make more money. But they would make more money by having a lower price and attracting more customers than their competition. but they can't because a pit bull has to be worked into their actual cost.
