It’s also a pretty standard margin for most retail stores as well. 30-40% at that scale isn’t surprising at all.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone was saying bald or sanded down tires would be good. If the tires were supposed to be groved but no longer are, those tires are WAY beyond their expected life and need to be changed. The rubber compounds are different than actual slicks and bald tires will never provide adequate traction even with the increased contact patch. Slick tires are completely different.

Have you heard of summer tires, snow tires or all seasons?

The tires on my car can only be used in temps above 45° and honestly at 45-50° it’s extremely sketchy until they get warmed up. They’re also terrible in the rain and really only meant for warm weather and dry days.

You also wouldn’t want to run full snow tires in the summer.

So passenger cars absolutely have tires meant for different conditions

Where are you that cable wasn’t popular?

We do. But it’d be nice to have new books coming in every month.

It’s not available in our area (CT) do you know if there’s a way to pay imagination library for a subscription / alternatives?

It probably has less to do with how smart the MBTAs IT team is and more likely how much the MBTA is willing to spend on IT.

This would be interesting to see without Alaska or Hawaii skewing the centers west.

Alternatively, I would be really interested to see this done for France if it includes Tahiti 😂

What do you mean? iMessage is fully end to end encrypted.

As far as google messages RCS goes, that’s googles proprietary version of RCS.

This is it exactly. Was a product manager and this is exactly the issue I faced with devs that had no real world usage experience.

You can do the same with AMC. Me and my wife pay like $25/month for 3 movies a week and it works for every AMC in the country. We go twice a month and I’m saving like $40

I mean it’s objectively way better. Before seat reservations that would happen anyway for popular movies. My group had to be split up many times because we’d walk into an almost full theater.
