heated game moment posted:There was a stabbing in my neighorbood this week https://www.wbtv.com/2022/08/25/person-suffers-life-threatening-injuries-during-stabbing-east-charlotte/ So I guess it's not important which person got stabbed here or who did the stabbing. Just... someone nearly runs over someone else and then a stabbing materializes

I live a block uphill from a busy commercial street and on Saturdays I like to stop and admire the rows of cars that are either just parked in the road with their hazard lights on or are stopped and waiting in the road indefinitely for a parking space to open up.

lobster shirt posted:i always thought depreciation was stupid to figure into vehicle cost If you keep the car longer than 5 years or if you buy a used car that cost calculation isn't accurate, but if you're looking at the cost of owning a new car (which is specifically what it's calculating), then it's absolutely necessary to factor depreciation in because the actual price of the car (and loss of its value) is going to be the single biggest cost. mystes has issued a correction as of 02:02 on Aug 28, 2022 |

It turned out to be an interview with a fat acceptance activist. The main thrust of the episode was that we need to do away with the harmful stereotype that cycling is a good way to lose weight. They also talked about how "obese" is a slur and how "morbidly obese" makes no sense as a diagnosis because how can someone be morbidly obese if they're still alive? It was honestly almost nostalgic, I hadn't heard fat acceptance mentioned since the Obama administration.

mystes posted:What do you mean? Depreciation is just the cost in that table that represents the actual price of the car. i think it's more intuitive when you talk about how much something costs to keep it to out of pocket costs (like fuel/insurance/registration etc). like $800 in unrealized losses due to depreciation isn't a cost if you don't sell the car, it's not money out of your wallet.

but buying the car IS an out of pocket cost, if anything they are being generous by amortizing it and assuming you will get some of it back
