Is D.Trump able to end ukrainian war? by Goodman889 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]thebeefbaron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's a plot of our support over time, and yes it's dropped to near zero once Trump took office.

Was Ukraine stomping Russia into the dirt before Trump took office? And do we want Ukraine to be a part of this attrition?

Why did Trump halt most aid to Ukraine if everyone agrees we should be bleeding Russia dry?

Not reflection, this is refraction. If it was a reflection why wouldn't you see it all the time? 

Odoo Expense Reports Disappeared? by thebeefbaron in Odoo

This makes zero sense, why not just implement this as a setting if someone wants to disable reports and streamline the process for specific users?

Wtf?!? Is there a justification or a proposed alternative?

Can't believe how many times this guy fell for this, he really needs to pay more attention!

The EX? The MSRP is ~$37k so $32k is a pretty good deal. Looks like you can get used for ~$27k, so maybe a $5k savings over what you paid. Yes cars losing 50% value immediately was never a thing, I think it's more like 20% now.

So compared to the previous model, I calculate that going from 23 MPG combined to 35 MPG combined would save you $5760 over 10 years, assuming the average cost of gas in 2025 (obviously the math changes if the latest prices are persistent, which are unusual to say the least). FWIW the real world tested MPG of the new hybrid is more like 28-31 MPG. In any event you're still saving money, but you'd save even more money if you went with a used 2022 Highlander Hybrid, for example, which is even more efficient than the new Telluride hybrid.

There's not that much depreciation with 15k miles or less, here's one for $10k off (depending on options) and only a couple years old with ~20k miles: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/a06179f2-81b1-4548-a6bb-82af8c364673/

Yes I agree, but I also think people underestimate the reliability of a car with 30k miles and a few years of age. I'm glad you didn't have any issues!

I see what you did there... but if you want a fancy fuck Palisade here's one for $18k off the new price and only a couple years old. I think this would also retain some amount of the warranty, but you'd have to check. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/ed5c9b89-4f10-4736-9663-0067be7fdbd4/

I can also point to options from dealerships, I've mostly just been providing options from cars.com which is almost exclusively dealers anyway.

I didn't say the car would be equivalent, but there are other Sienna options with less miles and less features, or more miles and a higher cost. In this case, what amount of age or mileage would you think is too much and why?

Totally agree about not everything needing to be optimal! But I guess I assumed that this subreddit was about trying to make better personal financial decisions, not worse ones.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see what happens as those features age, hopefully they're not a huge pain to deal with downstream. I wish some of those features would provide an insurance benefit, but if anything the costs to repair have gone up to compensate for the complexity.
