Wouldn’t a Model 3 be the best used option? You could definitely find a used Model 3 for $25k or less…thus get a nice $4k or so tax credit. Assuming you can sneak under the income limitation.

It is kinda dumb every EV comp has to be Tesla. Tesla is a luxury sedan and a Model Y has a $700 monthly payment assuming you put $4k down and assuming you have the tax liability to get the full tax credit. People comping a Tesla/Mercedes/Lexus don't really give a crud about saving $100 a month on maintenance. Telling the average person "Look! A Tesla is so much more affordable than a A-Class" is just kind of LOL level stuff. Article is kind of proof there really isn't a great EV option for the normal consumer. The best comps are the Lexus/Mercedes, but the Civic is actually what a cost-conscious consumer is buying. Thus, in the end, a gas-powered vehicle is still incredibly cheaper to buy/maintain.

Game 2: Colts @ Packers - Sunday, Sept 15th at 12PM
MrTPlush replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Other Sports
My first thought, why would you catch that at the 5 in this situation? Better to just pray it goes in the end zone and it probably does anyway. He had a shot to gain a quarter of the field. -

The Colts are insanely bad -

Crazy idea only down 10. Had they been down 17? Maybe.., -
Sure would be nice to see the Packers win against the Colts. Then just win one of the next three games and you are 2-2 without Love. That seems very realistic and doable.

Technically an e-bike wouldn’t be allowed, no. I haven’t really seen it ever be an issue, probably because e-bikes are expensive and thus attract a crowd that rides respectively. Unlike you know…a moped or dirt biker rider would ride on a trail.

They wisely dropped their terrible effort to force it to arbitration. Though something tells me the bad publicity will cost them more than the dude was even looking to sue for.

Honestly, I am a little shocked Disney would even want to go down this route. Pretty gross look over a guy and a measly $50k lawsuit. Huge long term legal issue if they actually dismiss it based on a Disney+ free trial TOS agreement. Disney says man can't sue over wife's death because he agreed to Disney+ terms of service (msn.com)

Ryan Braun almost came back this year
MrTPlush replied to ELCABALLO45's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Lmao, clickbait at best. Braun hasn't played since 2020...and I am guessing he doesn't do 25% of the training someone would need to be doing just to try. Probably hasn't for years. I am sure he was happily waiting to be out of the spotlight ever since the PED fiasco. Now he just chills in Malibu with his family. -
It isn't a big deal if the car is fully electric. It is a problem when it is a hybrid. Because then it is a fuel pump AND battery/EV components. I think the belief is an EV is a lower cost of maintenance short and long term. Certainly, that is probably the case for the ownership tree until the battery goes. That is why I think it is all or nothing. Mixing the two into one vehicle isn't advantageous at all.
-
Hybrids aren't that magical though. For people that don't live in a city and do a lot of highway driving there is virtually no value added. Especially these days when hybrids go for MSRP and have horrid incentives. You get some marginal MPG bump and spend $5k+ more for the car. You are losing money even at +10mpg. Plug-In hybrids are just as bad and the only way they aren't financially stupid is a massive federal tax credit. Hybrids are popular, but how many are actually coming out ahead on those purchases? Also, what happens long term when lower income people are forced to buy used cars with expensive battery packs? Will they become cheap enough we aren't causing financially strapped people to have $3k+ battery replacements on top of all the other things to fix on a car? One of the perks of ICE cars is the fact they are cheap to buy used and affordable to fix. Hybrids give you the best of both worlds...but it also gives you the worst of both worlds.

Eventually teams will stop giving big money to SS's especially ones that aren't giving elite offense. The minors are now overflowing with middle infielders and there is no shortage. I think many teams are years behind the curve and are still stupidly giving big money like it is 2010 or something. Sub .800 offense from a SS is not as special as it once was. I wouldn't be shocked if Adames is the unfortunate start to teams not giving big money to SS's. Not sure I would predict under $100mil since he will hit FA at 29 at least...but I would not be shocked if he got notably under Swanson's figure.

Romania is going to decline the change, right? It was all about how terrible it was to give it to Chiles and the effect on the Romanian girls mental health. But really, they will have zero issue robbing it from Chiles because of some delusional technicality of 4 seconds and even though the Romanian girl was literally the loser by skill/execution.

To be fair, it isn’t really much of a relay. Basically just adding up 4 people’s 400 meter times. The 100 meter relay the transfers are actually a huge part and difference maker in the race. I presume a huge issue with it is the fact the US is so loaded. Sounds like a good thing until you got 3-4 people making the 100 and 200 meter sprint finals. They practice some during the week for the relay, but they end up with zero actual race experience all week.

Kenny Bednarek, the WI Native, defended his silver medal in the 200m. USA basketball avoids a shocking upset and stormed back to beat Serbia. Took till the 4th Q for the USA to actually look like they wanted to win and tried working as a team.

My first thought when I saw the pondering of charging for a ballpark village was "Wow, this is what the state gets for giving the money before knowing what it was for and before the Brewers would commit to a ballpark village." I can't say I am surprised, but it is still pretty pathetic. Hopefully the Brewers can be like every other sports team under the sun that made an entertainment district and find a way to make money with something that is at least free to get in the front gate. As far as the insanely expensive all-inclusive areas, I don't know, that seems like a REALLY steep ask for the economical Wisconsin market. The current options are very economical and cheap...and even then often times are not filled with groups. Often they are much under the max capacity. Are Milwaukee businesses really going to go crazy dropping $400+ a ticket to take their groups there? I think a lot of it comes down to the lack of attendance, at least in certain sections. The club outfield is a notable ghost town. You could blow that up and just make expensive areas.
-
That finish was crazy. He went from in the race, to looking like a distant 5th place, to somehow storming back for the gold. Rooks steeplechase finish was equally impressive.
-
I find a few of the things pretty surprising. Revamping the family area and wanting to charge for it, especially considering it is in the terrace level, as a weird direction to go. Though I imagine the reaction to that will be negative enough it never sees the light of day. I also found the whole charging for a potential 'ballpark' village pretty odd. I guess it depends on the details, but I don't know why you would make it in a way that it has an admission. I don't know of any other entertainment district that has a generic admission like that (minus a special event occurring).
-
The Brewers sent out a survey today asking for opinions and interests as they embark on renovations, so check your email. A few concepts were put up for consideration: 1) A revamped family area in the terrace. After answering questions about it, it then hints at the possibility of charging a special ticket package price to even have access. (Yikes) 2) Entertainment district for year round activities. It again asks if you want to pay for it (on non-game days). 3) VIP parking area and potential valet. 4) Fancy Membership (thousands $$) 5) New premium seating areas So basically renovations for people spending big bucks and a reduction in economical areas of the ballpark.

I mean, who cares? At worst it is a fun and goofy concept. Should we really fault the MLB for trying to grow interest in the game? There are almost 2,500 games a year
-
With how cautious they have been anything more than .25 cut would be incredibly shocking.
-
With that skid no team is currently on 100-win pace. The last year no team won 100 games was 2014.
-
But it is if you want to make it a requirement. Forcing everyone to spend hundreds more to mow their lawn just to make things quieter seems like HOA type policing. Is noise pollution really a pressing issue though? If we wanted to make a difference with noise pollution my first step would be putting up walls along interstates and/or other busy roads. That would make much more of a difference than my neighbor mowing his lawn 30 minutes a week.

If you are going to make a lame 'I told you so' post, at least being a part of the original discussion might be useful. Coming into the thread in retrospect to act smart is really unnecessary. The forum is a free discussion board, but it isn't a mosh pit and last I checked has rules. Which FTC is breaking at least a few of them. But thus, respecting other people and trying to be a positive member of the forum should be something you strive to do regardless. I don't really get trying to defend what FTC did. There is nothing wrong with looking back on things and pointing out how it was wrong. For instance, pointing out how Chourio did this in the minors so it might have been predictable is a completely valid way to go about it. Mocking a forum member for enjoyment is just odd and weird. FTC can have good discussion, like many others, it is a shame they insist on being negative towards others' opinions to make themselves feel better while doing it though. But thus, that is all I will say on the subject. I am sure the moderators can sort it out.
