The value of the tree ironically does go up a lot over time. But it's still the value of the tree. The value of everything else is still a cost and that is EXACTLY THE POINT I MADE. The cost of the tree is insignificant compared to the house and you're hotel bills.
Reading comprehension... It's a glorious thing, and lost on Americans.
I hope Lego sues them into oblivion. They won't, but I can dream.
This would be so easy to show irreparable harm. Using your kids toy likeness on criminal mugshot and police brutality scenes?! One jury I would gladly be a part of.
Which is what I said. The cost of the bridge is a rounding error. The cost of the damages resulting from its collapse both on land and in the waterway is the real damage.
Explain how the cost of your driveway does not appreciate over time.
The replacement cost goes up with what the current prices are. But a 8k driveway does not become a 200k driveway just because the house it's going to is a mansion.
That bridge is a shitty old rusty bridge. It may be economically valuable, the waterway may be valuable, it may have large opportunity cost for the city. But it's still a hunk of old steel.
The cost of the bridge, is the old steel.
The cost of the insurance layout is the old steel PLUS all the other factors.
BBB is actually really good nowadays compared to where it started. I've got quite a few deployed hardware appliance designs with them baked in. The real time IO and subprocessor was a nice quick and dirty way to get a little psuedo FPGA
I continue to believe that the only way forwards for the USA is to go so far backwards that the populous wakes up and starts to change. Without that, it's a lost cause and a failed nation.
When all those suburban women voters who voted for Trump can't get their teenage daughter an abortion, times will change. It'll be 20 years from now, but that's what it takes.
Remind the rest of the world. Americans won't understand the similarities. America must have the best farms in the world. Everyone is jealous of their thicc meat
The bridge is basically valueless compared to everything else about the ship and cargo plus the lawsuits from various contract breaches and other damages. Port shutdowns, environmental cleanup, insurance losses. $100m is a rounding error.
This isn't a secret and it isn't the 1800s where news of snake oil salesmen takes 5 weeks to reach the new world.
You know all of this going into the store. You know that by shopping there, the smaller chains and local stores will leave. You know you'll then be paying more and have poorer quality. You choose to support. You can also choose to live the same way you were and not make your life worse later.
If the store wasn't there the other stores would still exist. The store being there doesn't prevent you from going to the other stores. You can make an excuse, but all you're doing is screwing yourself.
That's an excuse. You want something slightly better now for a short time and bad for a long time? Or slightly worse now and better for a long time? If you can't make that choice properly, you deserve the consequences of your poor choice. If you assume everyone else will do the right thing so you don't have to, you also deserve the consequences to your poor choice.
Start blaming those that actually cause the issue, not the dealer. It sucks there's cocaine available to buy. Just don't buy it. If you do, that's fully your fault. Not the dealer.
The store's existence doesn't destroy the mom and pop store. People voting with their wallets choose the big chain over the small store. That's not the fault of Dollar Admiral or whatever. That's the fault of those in the community that chose to save a penny. Sometimes direct consequences happen from bad actions.
Exactly. Nobody should be ok with random data being given out "just in case". This should be illegal and never happen. But it is perfectly acceptable in today's subpoena world and that's a scary thing.
The agent could have done the same thing in many different ways to get an ip address. It's also concerning that agents are still using IP address as a vouch of identity in 2024.
The whole article reads like it was written by people living in an alternate dimension. I've followed the news, the protests, the legislation and ban. I have no dog in the fight, I'm nowhere near MSP and no desire to be.
But they didn't call Uber's bluff... Uber called theirs. This is toddler level "no I am not, you are" logic. Uber said, hey if you do this we're leaving. They did it. Uber left. MSP failed.
Now of you're in the area and need to get around, you can't. Taxis are not a possible option. You can blame it on rideshare decimating them. But even in the prime of taxis, they sucked. That's why Uber took off.
People today pay MORE for an Uber in some cases because they know the cost upfront, they can see when it's coming, etc. A taxi is a gamble. And people don't like to gamble especially when it's on if they'll be late for work or the airport or an important meeting.
Nobody is disputing that.
