Thinking back, it makes no kayfabe sense at all that Vince would handpick KO. The last time they were together, he head-butted Vince! -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 06:53 3
- I like how you used "kayfabe" there as an expletive. :) -- nm - Baroon 5 Mar 1, 07:14

- I don't think I would last 5 minutes -- nm - decline Mar 1, 06:18 2
  - Is it wrong that I would just want to go in there to fart? -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 06:36

- meh...Todd will be all in for 6 months and then he'll be distracted. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 06:37
My favorite part is that there's a non-zero chance that in, like, 5 years, Harper is the worst contract in MLB and there's still 8 years left. - Tim Feb 28, 21:03 3
- After look at it some, I've decided that at some point, Philly's going to have to swallow $100 million of this. - David Feb 28, 21:49 1

You guys see this story about Etsy? -- (link) - . Feb 28, 20:07 8

  - I tried to find something more but it was covered as being a "glitch" and I saw nothing about how they were treating those it happened to. -- nm - . Feb 28, 23:19 1
    - This guy writes about Etsy regularly. -- nm - . Feb 28, 23:20
- The line about unfettered access to their databases doesn't tell the whole story. - Beryllium Feb 28, 20:29 3
  - I do think the post is right that they're teetering on a precipice, though. Their last round of layoffs was pretty brutal, from what I recall. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 20:32 2
    - I think for individual sellers, Squarespace is a better option. The rest of Etsy is clogged with reselling cheap goods. It's not a great place any - colin Mar 1, 03:24

With every passing day, I’m more strongly feeling Green Day released American Idiot 15 years too soon — nm - Mr. Havens Feb 28, 16:21 3
- yup -- nm - Remlik Feb 28, 17:13

The real reason tesla is doing this? They're running out of cash again - decline Feb 28, 16:00 5
- At the end of the quarter they had about $4 billion in cash on-hand. The bond repayment is just under $1 billion. -- nm - TWuG Feb 28, 16:07 2
  - Yes 3.9B as of the end of last year. 2.9B after tomorrow. With 2019 capital expenditures of 2.5B they need to reduce expenditures and really increase sales -- (link*) - decline Feb 28, 18:11 1
    - Did you see the release of the cheap Model 3 today? Did you see they registered Model 3 VINs in the 300,000 range this week? - TWuG Feb 28, 18:17
- They may have cash issues, but if tomorrow is the issue this isn't going to help. - pmb Feb 28, 16:03 1

For Tesla, as Jax points out, OTA updates are available, mobile service that comes to you is standard, and sales are on-line. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:51 3
- I remember when Scion first came out, I thought they were going the online route. - JaxSean Feb 28, 15:54 2
  - There are (effectively) used car vending machines now. -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 15:58
  - Hell, my car is gettng a range bump with an OTA update! My car is better today than the day I bought it. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:58
Honestly with the lead time on getting one, the idea of Tesla having b&m stores never made that much sense to me. - Reagen Feb 28, 15:47 17
- Was it already mentioned that some states won’t allow them to have actual car lots because they don’t follow the dealership rules or some other crap? -- nm - Qale Feb 28, 16:28 2
  - I said something about it in an IM on B2. The dealer franchise rules in a number of state completely prohibit - TWuG Feb 28, 16:35 1
    - Yeah, I saw it after I dug into that thread more deeply. -- nm - Qale Feb 28, 16:38
- Lead time is days for most configurations - TWuG Feb 28, 15:55 12

        Yeah, they are still expanding in Canada. The Supercharging network is still being built out to connect east and west. - TWuG Feb 28, 16:32
      - I would definitely be interested in one except that the model 3 isn't practical for me (they don't plow the alleys in the city so an SUV is really - pmb Feb 28, 16:22 5

        The lease is up on my current car this summer. But I'd want it out a few years I think anyway before I bought. So maybe next time around. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 16:36 3
        
        One thing to know about Tesla is they continuously improve their cars. They don't do model years. - TWuG Feb 28, 16:53 2
        
        Also, the Model Y will not have the incredibly cool, but very costly, and stupidly complex falcon wing doors. -- nm - TWuG Feb 28, 17:10 1
        
        "Doors that go like *this*, not *thiiis*" -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 17:16
- Agreed. Also from B2: they still have 79 service centers in the US, and will likely expand those as the need fits. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 15:53

So, 8mil per WAR, Harper needs to be worth 41 WAR over 13 years. He’s been worth about 23 in 7 years so far so...they might - Will Hunting Feb 28, 15:33 6
- Voodoo. All of it. -- nm - Baroon 5 Feb 28, 16:36
- Philly is a nice place for lefties. I don't think he hits that WAR though--I'd rather have Arenado -- nm - Flavorize Feb 28, 15:47
- Meh. Defensive WAR seems far too unreliable to be used in this way. -- nm - Inigo Feb 28, 15:37
- Phils and Pads are the two that shelled out the most. Go figure. -- nm - Budice Feb 28, 15:36 2
  - And the Phillies are still 18M under the salary cap -- nm - decline Feb 28, 15:51
  - Phil’s were ready to spend. They got a lottery ticket. If he’s 2015 Bryce, it’s a damn steal. If he’s every other year, it’s blown money - Will Hunting Feb 28, 15:38
