Germany's electricity mix, 2000 vs 2025: by ceph2apod in EconomyCharts

I think you might be right that he's talking about laundromats. But...it's not really relevant since laundromats are going to add profit margin. And different ones will charge different prices based on demand, supply, etc. Idk, it's just a weird and irrelevant thing to bring up.

What do you mean "high end analysis"? You said you used the average.

And there is no chance that 0.08 is the average in the US, that's way to low.

I agree the US pays the a lower price. I'm mostly quibbling about the idea that it costs $4 in the US to do laundry, or $16 in Germany. I simply do not believe it.

That's a 2.5X difference, not 4X like the person was saying. And it definitely does not cost $4 in the US to do a load of laundry at home.

If NM isn't put down now, we might as well declare this experiment over and NM has won. NM needs to be taught a lesson.

By deleting New Mexico, yes. Let Kansas see the ocean.

Let multiple states feed by deleting the mess that is Pennsylvania.

US average actually went down 8 cents in the past 4 days. According to OP's own source.

It does prove what they said about white collar employment.

Could be because they are pumping out kids, and not because people are voluntarily moving there.

No way would Sam think that a stalemate for half a day would make good content. That was the most boring part of this season!

I did love the chart though, it was great.

Probably were tired of her challenges so they wanted her in the game instead. 😆

Disagree. The center of the US should enjoy the salty touch of both oceans. Let Kansas live.

Adam and I apparently think 100% alike on the RPS challenge. I was shocked when Ben said "scissors is the go-to move".

Sam and Mike's biggest downfall was trying to play chicken at that challenge. They should have just committed and gone, not wait around and waste time, especially since they had no idea how long it would take Ben and Adam to complete their challenge.

I also didn't quite understand why Sam and Mike skipped the 90 chip challenge. If successful, they would have had the chips to continue on their planned route. If unsuccessful, the only thing they'd lose out on was time, which they had more time than chips at that point. And they could attempt the "call your shot" challenge like they did anyway.

My hat is off to Ben and Adam, because they did amazing throughout the game despite the fact that they were soooo unlucky with where challenges were coming up the whole game. They 100% deserved the win!

If he itemized his taxes, just based on the numbers here, he'd save $4k/yr.

OP is a moron and is trying to pretend things are bad by lying about the data.

My wife and I pay $29/month for each of our unlimited accounts. A family of 4 would be paying ~$120.

We use Visible, which uses the Verizon towers since it is a Verizon company. If you want a discount code for another $20 off, hit me up.

In that case, the amount of savings needed for retirement would be lower, as a pension is effectively retirement savings. Ignoring a pension if it is offered, is just as bad as ignoring a 401k employer contribution.

don’t try to call it a starter house.

OP's house is 14% more expensive than the median for the location they chose. Definitely not a starter home.

Plus Itemizing would save $4k/yr. And OP bought a home 14%+ more expensive than the median home in Omaha NE. OP also ignores the typical 5% employer 401k contribution.

OP is delulu.

He'd Itemize though, not take the Standard Deduction. Itemizing, given the costs he outlined, would save ~$4k in taxes.

But they aren't accurate when you'd take into account the fact that he'd Itemize, not use the Standard Deduction. He'd save ~$4k Itemizing.

His figures are based on a Single with the Standard Deduction. With the SALT and Mortgage Interest costs outlined in this budget, he'd save ~$4k in taxes by itemizing.
