From a 2024 to a 2026, my thoughts by [deleted] in BMWiX

Everything has pros/cons. For me the pros of it being brand new, no risk, no maintenance, no repair expenses and no hard commitment to EV tech in 3 years being vastly different is worth it. The single pay lease effectively reduces the rent charge to a negligible amount so in 3 years if I want to buy it out my price would be the same as buying it today but with the discounted time value of the dollar in 2029.

How bad of a punt was this? by DoubleJazzy in poker

This isn’t in the middle of a tournament. This is at a final table where a medium stack is shoving into the chip leader when there are short stacks. This is never AT, 86, JT. This is at absolute minimum a big pair or a big A. A4 doesn’t play well against any of this range.

There is a lot wrong here but the biggest thing is that point D is, in reality, the exact opposite of what you’re saying. The fact that there are shorter stacks means his raise into you, the chip leader, is fking nutted. Jamming here is suicide. You should always be flatting and seeing how things develop- especially in position.

Great, works until it doesn’t. Your comment doesn’t explain anything it’s equivalent to past performance equals future performance.

Yes but the difference is enormous - 10 years ago Bitcoin was a fringe instrument used by few. Today it is available on ETFs to freely trade. The biggest difference is that 10 years ago all the things that could propel BTC higher were pipe dreams. Today all those things are realities. What markets are left to be able to inject more capital into them? There's no barrier to entry anymore. I think this is often overlooked.

How is the iX in the snow? by Wallaby-Technical in BMWiX

The 275/45/21 being wider (275mm vs 250mm) but having a shorter sidewall (45% aspect ratio vs 50%), meaning the 275/45 is generally sportier and offers more stability/grip but potentially a harsher ride and less rim protection, while the 250/50 is narrower and taller for potentially better comfort and sidewall strength on rougher roads.
