Your problem is that you think that a 350 pound person takes up the same space as a 700 pound person. I have no problem taking public transit since I only take ONE seat. Not TWO seats, not THREE seats. Just ONE seat.
The New York subway system is 114 years old. Like many transit systems across the country, infrastructure improvements have been deferred for too many years. That it runs at all is a miracle.
I live in Silicon Valley. My commute is two local buses and an express bus to go one hour each way from San Jose to Palo Alto (36 miles). If I was to do that by car, morning commute would be 30 to 60 minutes and afternoon commute would be 45 to 90 minutes. Many of my coworkers take Caltrain from San Francisco or San Jose and a local bus, or the Dumbarton Express bus from from BART station in Union City (across the bay). You have to be nuts to drive a car through Palo Alto during commute hours.
Yeah but all your co-workers are bottom of the barrel guys who don't even know what slashdot is.
My coworkers and I have 20+ years of IT experience. They all know about Reddit. Bottom of the barrel guys are drummed out in short order.
How can someone google IT problems without *ever* encountering slashdot?
I don't think I ever encountered a Slashdot article while googling an IT problem. Then again, I work in Windows shop. Slahdot isn't going to have daily articles on Microsoft patches, Windows 365 not updating and broken Dell cupholders.
Good ol' creimer goes to a luxury theater restaurant and gets the popcorn. What a high roller!
I haven't been to that theater since it re-opened. A friend who works there brought me a bag of the Japanese popcorn because I read manga and watch kaiju movies. The word "luxury" is a misnomer. Even AMC has recliner chairs and more expensive food offerings.
You can clearly see this in how wages for low-skill jobs hasn't kept up with inflation while wages for highly skilled workers like those in tech have either kept up with inflation or exceeded it.
We are running out of trade craftsmen like carpenters, electricians and plumbers. The current generation is retiring. Most foreign workers went home after the Great Recession. You're either waiting longer or paying more to find someone to do the job. Or both in some areas. From the articles I've read, a trade craftsman can make $100k+ per year five years after trade school. I had a coworker in government I.T. who became a roofer, started his own roofing company at 55 and makes more money than sitting in an air conditioned office.
A local theater with an attached pizza parlor got renovated into a luxury theater with an attached resturant. Largest theater with 300 seats now has 125 recliner seats and tables. Smallest theater has 25 seats. Waiters deliver food and drinks inside the theater. People can order any time during the movie. The popcorn with the Japanese spices is wonderful.
Theaters make their money at the concession stand. If someone is paying $20 a month to see three movies each week, they will probably buy a $7 soda at each showing. Each $7 soda is about $5+ in profits.
Easy loans make for easy profits. Especially since student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy court. With high schools pushing everyone to go to college, it's a win-win for for everyone except the student.
Your numbers are shit. You're missing quite a few zeros for quantity and purchase price. Also, I'm a buy and hold investor. I don't see shares off unless the market raises the share price to unrealistic levels (thanks, Trump!) and I can get favorable tax treatment.
You have parachutes for the crew in case something goes wrong with the plane. As for the passengers, they should have read the fine print on the ticket.
No one asked that. And if we did, we wouldn't ask you.
Nope. You would look at the biggest YouTuber, see that every video has 1M+ views and tell everyone not to bother with YouTube.if you can't get 1M+ views on a video from DAY 1. Never mind that it took many big YouTubers five years to get established. I'm only seven months into my five year journey.
Congratulations.
That's why out of all my dividend-paying stocks that I've own, Funko is one of the riskiest stock that I own. Most anaylsts peg Funko as a speculative buyout target. It's more liklely to be bought out before the Funko bubble bursts.
If you're going to grow a YouTube channel, you need to tap into a niche with a built-in audience. Funko POP! and comic cons have complementary audiences.
Funko has been doubling each year for the last five years. I now own more shares of Funko stock than actual Funkos. I was so impressed with the investor presentation that I adopted it for my own YouTube content strategy.
Silicon Valley Comic Con 2018 has the same number of visitors (~70,000) and the same economic impact as Super Bowl 2018. SVCC is not even one of the larger comic cons in the US.

How Much Americans Could Save by Taking Public Transit
FTFY - If you live in city with a robust transit system, you can live without owning a car.

You know calling yourself the "Pirate Party" doesn't really boost your credibility when it comes to issues like copyright infringement.
Argh, matey! Especially when your party doesn't have any real pirates, pirate ships and pirate booty..

I typically see 20 to 36 movies per year. This is a good deal since I'm only paying for 12 movies throughout the year.

When I tried to cancel The Wall Street Journal last year, I got offered a discounted rate and free Amazon Prime for a year. Now that's a deal!
Me starting an Amazon affiliate company after spamming Slashdot to death for a year. Oh, wait.
Serious, we're playing this shit again?
Trump is going to wuss out on the trade war. Just as he wussed out on the North Koreans last month and will wussed out on the Russians this month.
Your numbers are shit. You're missing quite a few zeros for quantity and purchase price. Also, I'm a buy and hold investor. I don't see shares off unless the market raises the share price to unrealistic levels (thanks, Trump!) and I can get favorable tax treatment.
Thank, FCLM.
Try uploading the video file as a thumbnail by accident. YouTube will upload the whole file before rejecting it as being too big to be a thumbnail.
The only time I purchase a dozen shares of stock is when the dividend gets reinvested in the DRIP for free.
You have parachutes for the crew in case something goes wrong with the plane. As for the passengers, they should have read the fine print on the ticket.
Funko has never paid a dividend.
Correct. Which makes it a risky bet in my non-retirment, dividend-paying stock portfolio.
Also earlier you claimed it's doubled every 5 years.
Funko is a 19 years old company. As a private company, it had doubled every year for the last five years.
They've only been listed for about half a year.
A failed IPO from last year. Starting off at $12, sinking down to $7. I picked up shares for $11 last week. It's currently $13.
I meant actually invest in it and not lie about it on slashdot.
You need reading glasses.
Crammar's off to a good start, I guess I hit a nerve. Again.
I'm not the one arguing with random ACs.
No one asked that. And if we did, we wouldn't ask you.
Nope. You would look at the biggest YouTuber, see that every video has 1M+ views and tell everyone not to bother with YouTube.if you can't get 1M+ views on a video from DAY 1. Never mind that it took many big YouTubers five years to get established. I'm only seven months into my five year journey.
