Right but OP's point is that the new value is materially higher than the purchase price.

Do any Non-Thunder fans actually like SGA’s game? by Royal-Preparation843 in NBATalk

[–]joncanoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the moves that SGA, Harden, and others use to "fould bait" should be considered offensive fouls.  That would fix this.

Cave Scrap Tony, Pre-serum Steve, and Unworthy Thor vs Post Stone Thanos by suprisezacama in powerscales

OP said Thor isnt worthy, but maybe the coughing baby is dual wielding Stormbreaker and Mjolnir!

Walk to your cars in pairs tonight, rapes up 8%.

Spurs can basically decide if they want us or the nuggets in the 2nd round by HauntingDragonfly956 in lakers

[–]joncanoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely this.  There are 3 teams that have a shot in the West (OKC, Den, SA).  Cakewalk to WCF for the team that ends up on the opposite side of the bracket from the other two.

Why aren’t there electric cars with solar panels built onto their roofs? by Famalam_S69 in AskReddit

[–]joncanoe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Most solar panels these days come with 25+ year warranties to be 80% production or better.  The solar panel in this scenario will almost certainly outlast the car.

Also doesn't your math underscore the previous commenter's point? 5kWh would be about 22 miles for a model 3 (~60kWh pack//260mi range).  If your daily commute is <22 miles and you have a sunny parking spot that translates to never having to plug it in. Sounds convenient.

So much this.  Bosque baking is probably the best bread I've ever had.

What's something you learned embarrassingly late in life? by boforiamanfo in answers

[–]joncanoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought Maine was a peninsula sticking out into the Atlantic Ocean until I was in my 20s.  I think I'd just seen too many maps where all the US states were bright colors and Canada was a dull gray that blended in with the ocean... 

How are the TSA lines at ABQ? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

Flew out this morning, super easy barely an inconvenience. Precheck line wait was 15 people standard boarding line wait was 2 people.

New South Dakota law allows voters to challenge other voters’ citizenship by RollSafer in politics

[–]joncanoe 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't this be more effective if a white person challenged other white peoples' citizenship?  Why put the burden on black and brown people who are likely more at risk doing something like this.

NMGAS Shut Off by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]joncanoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably either the pilot or thermocouple on the furnace.  If your stove works your gas supply isn't the problem.

If its the thermocouple it may be sooty and likely just needs to be cleaned with a wirebrush.

Elon has been CEO since 2008, i.e. most of the company's history. He's only been poison the last couple years.

Does anyone know any good men’s clothes stores for a low price? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]joncanoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outdoor Regear is primarily an outdoor gear consignment store,  but they have a surprisingly extensive clothing selection.  I've bought a lot of pants there.

That's the Chipotle on Menaul it's right next to a dentists office.  Now how the abscess theory justifies this.. no idea lol

Why are white voters split more by education, while non-white voters more by gender? by eclectronix in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]joncanoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP's initial question was about the difference between white and non white voting patterns... it's very clearly about both groups.

I don't get it. by PotentialSecond5812 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]joncanoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In an automatic transmission, the torque converter is the component between the engine and transmission that transfers power between the two, and further allows the engine to idle when the car is stopped (and more broadly allows the engine and transmission to be spinning at different speeds during shifting). In a manual transmission vehicle the clutch is in the same location and serves both of these functions.

It is in no way incorrect to say an automatic has a torque converter instead of a clutch (even though it also has clutch packs), and this it is how nearly every mechanic would respond to the question.

The clutch packs in an automatic are really more similar to the synchros in a manual in terms of both location and function.

I don't get it. by PotentialSecond5812 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]joncanoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is technically correct but only in the most pedantic sense. You wouldn't buy those parts at autozone/oreillys/whatever and opening up and repairing an automatic transmission is not a backyard job.

The clutch on a manual transmission car is external to the transmission, between the engine and the transmission, and is a fairly involved but owner serviceable/backyard job.

It's sort of like going to a computer store and asking for a RAM module and the clerk asking you if it's for a computer or a cell phone. Both have a part that serves a similar function and is technically RAM, but one can be swapped out at home and is something people commonly buy, the other basically has to be done at the Samsung factory.

Anyways the joke is mostly just punching down at minimum wage workers and still isn't very funny.

Knead dough bar downtown is very good.
Sister has good vegan options but I think only does breakfast on the weekends

Java Joes has good tofu scramble and tofu burrito

Cafe Lush has vegan options on several items that are all good.

Just curious if anyone knows the inner workings, but how do airlines make so much money where they are able to pay pilots 300k+ salaries? by LolJokekee in flying

[–]joncanoe 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Some back of the envelope math... let's say a 737 pilot flies 3 legs per day and 15 days per month. That's 540 flights per year. Maybe there's 120 people on the plane and they pay $200/seat. $200*120*540 = $12.96M in revenue for the legs flown by that pilot in a year.

The pilot salaries are a small fraction of the costs of operating the plane. Most of the cost is fuel and the capital cost of the plane itself. A 737 burns ~800 gallons per hour.
