  • Pretty easy to do in excel. Or on a napkin.

    I bought my Honda Civic about 9 years ago for, let’s just say 20k including interest on the loan. I could look more into it, but let’s say $500 a year on average for service and $1000 a year on insurance. Gas has been pretty constantly $3/gal and mileage at 30 miles per gallon so that’s ten cents a mile. Driven 110,000 miles so that’s $11,000 in gasoline.

    So all and all ownership has been about 20k+4.5k+9k+11k or $45,000 divided by 110,000 miles.

    That’s about 40 cents a mile. Woooo! I’m probably under estimating the service costs as they have really escalated recently. The IRS says it costs 55 cents a mile to service a car. So yeah. You shouldn’t think of any short trip as free. It probably costs 50 cents to drive every mile.

    Hello,

    me and my team (we are atm 3: me and 2 school colleagues) started a pretty big project last week. I know it sounds crazy, but we are working on a successor to WoW. Please don’t say we can’t do it anyway, because we are very ambitious and are very experienced WoW players. I’m posting here to find more people for our team. We have a modeler (me), a musician (for the background music and sound effects) and a community manager. We are still looking for a programmer to bring the whole thing to life. If you would like to apply, please post what experience you have so far with game programming and what programming languages ​​you know (we want to write the game in Java because we already learned a bit of Java at school last year).

    Our goals/motivation: Wow is now a few years old and Blizzard doesn’t seem to be thinking about a successor. Instead, they create one extension at a time. The graphics are quite old and WoW2 is supposed to look much better (my models are almost photorealistic). The quests should be more exciting (don’t always kill XY, get XY). >There will be epic battles with up to 500vs500 fighters. We have invented two new classes: Necromancer and Hobblings. But I don’t want to tell you everything here and save it for later. I will send a project plan to anyone who is interested. ^We can’t pay for the work, but when we publish it, for example, we share the subscription fees we get ($10 per player).

    Greetings. Wow2
