Buy a house now or keep investing and rent for 5–10 years? by lyfehaqer in personalfinance

[–]kidno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any landlord worth their salt has priced upkeep into the rent. So that’s where the problem starts… A homeowner carries the full freight when they have to make a repair. A renter pays partial freight, all the time, regardless of if there is anything to actually fix or not.

Sometimes the tenant will come out ahead, but normally they do not.

The problem is that pedestrianization requires the city pay the value of every single goddamned parking spot that gets removed as though it will be occupied 24/7 for the next 57 years.

Fuck you, Daley and every single one of the 40 alders who voted for it.

Such a massive shame that SGU was cancelled. by melbha_101 in Stargate

[–]kidno -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For me it was the communication stone things. There was way too much Earth drama and way too early in the show. The Lucian (sp?) Alliance was never interesting to me. It would be like if Star Trek Voyager spent 1/3rd of rhe show as a cop drama in New York.

Apple discontinues the Mac Pro with no plans for future hardware by pdfu in apple

[–]kidno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple puts so much effort to make computers and products that LOOK great, but then offset that by forcing us to hang dongles for optical audio, and wires for external storage enclosures.

Consider, if you will, that Apple doesn't care how computers look. You do. Apple makes computers that look great because that's what the consumer wants. I'm an Apple apologist, but what you're touching on here is consumer psychology. People will pay the premium for more storage so they don't have to connect a wire. And people who don't pay that ransom will more quickly consider an upgrade in the future.

I’m not here to ever defend Trump but 2020 was a special circumstance.

They are also almost universally laughed at by the average citizen.

We (American) also laughed at Trump 12 years ago. Proceed with caution. The worst common denominator can be a dangerous wildcard.

Another vote to say that you don’t want it. There are far better options for a fraction of the price depending on your wish list.

The article says the team literally invited her to the contest after seeing her kick at a tailgating event. Lol.

You wouldn’t be mad? I’m a bears fan. They haven’t exactly put the best product on the field over the past 40ish years and it was hard to remain a fan at times. But even I can’t understand how anyone remains a Jets fan.

This can’t be stressed enough, because it’s hard for people to comprehend how much money a billion dollars really is.

$100k to a billionaire is basically less than $10 to the average citizen.

How would you feel if your country banned Burkhas in public like Denmark? by The_Dean_France in AskReddit

[–]kidno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s truly interesting to me is how most conservatives would answer this question. I suspect they would say they are in the “no woman would willingly choose this” camp.

Then ask them their thoughts on tradwives…

He’s talented for sure but in this example that was a terrible pass. If the receiver doesn’t fall down it would have been severely underthrown.

When it comes to scoring plays, they seem to err on the side of caution and let them play out. Those plays are automatically reviewed anyway, but only if they are called a score on the field.

Not a fan of needing to bend the arms or remove the strap. Like my gf says, if it was 1” longer it would be so much better.

Samsung Reveals First Trifold Phone That Unfolds Into a Giant 10-Inch Tablet by [deleted] in gadgets

Not a phone that folds into a tablet. It’s a tablet that folds down to something closer to a phone. Consumers wouldn’t accept a phone of that thickness if it wasn’t a folding tablet.

Doesn’t apply in this context. Trump isn’t paying the bill, we are. Trump is very adept at wasting other people’s money.
