You took a loan out over 72 months? Blimey. What was the interest rate on that?

Just looked...6.94%. I was just happy to get approved! Now I've got to go and figure all the interest I paid! Thanks!

Easy, it will be along the lines of: "Here are two brand new trucks. We'll keep one and you have the other. Now you owe us for two trucks."

It's not that bad! If that's an APR (so it's calculated annually) then the interest cost will be about 1/4 of the principal over the whole period.
If it's calculated monthly, then look at around 1/2 the principal in interest.
If it's daily... he went to Wonga!

A little hyperbole (a standard literary artifice) helps paint the picture.

Let me give you a good piece of advice.
PARK THE TRUCK.
Wait a month or two. There is something in the universe that detects freshly paid off vehicles and makes them into idiot magnets. It's uncanny the # of times I've heard people like you say "yeah" then have someone rear end them.
Parking the truck is somewhat of a joke, just be super careful.
Then again, I live in Atlanta, they don't call it crush hour for nothing.

If you pay full 72 rates for your truck you should better purchase some cheaper car .They are also use less resources as gasoline and parking space. 
Yesterday I built in my new SSD in the PC and now the PC runs smoother and faster and most: uses some 10 Watts less energy 
Press F1 for help or google it.

Congrats. Enjoy the moment 
Now start paying that car payment amount into a savings account so, in another 72 months, you can buy another new truck to replace it, but this time without a car payment
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Thanks! This is the third vehicle I have 'paid off', but it was my first new vehicle ever. Good advice on what to do with that extra cash! I was going to invest in solar panels but research shows the return would be 40 years!

... to @Keith-Barrow, one of the geekiest, funniest bits of coding clickbait I've seen. I followed the link[^], you won't believe what happened next.
A webpage opened, and I read it. That's what happened next, so you probably would believe it.

Nice read! It makes me wonder how most web devs handle jquery libs...download/self-host or link to community hosted libs?

Ever since the demise of Silverlight I have despaired at the tech stack required to put together a web solution. Now I'm involved in an "enterprise" project with such things as hadoop, drools, hive and the whole Java UI stack. I wonder what little gems are hidden in their includes!

Thanks for the link, Keith, and Pete.
Makes me wonder if the JavaScript open-source "community" has any mechanism other than name-and-shame to "police" itself. Of course, that's making the wild assumption that the word "community" is relevant to the terms "open-source" and/or "JavaScript."
But, I'm not knocking JavaScript, the monster that ate the web because economic and political agendas of the "major net powers" couldn't agree on anything better. The use of it has been improved much thanks to John Resig (jQuery) and others, and, now, TypeScript and other "wrappers" for development essentially let you ignore its not-good-for-OOD limitations to some extent.

A Conclusino is a latte made with a variation of the coffee made from beans that have passed through the digestive system of civet cats and been excreted; in this variation, the beans are further treated by being carried in the undergarments of female human virgins for a month.

My favorite bit out of that post is this part:
Quote: [Imagine] if the car you drove to work had 291 parts. You’d be worried, wouldn’t you? Yet, for some reason, we’re totally fine installing 291 individual modules just to power an enterprise-grade web server capable of handling thousands of incoming requests per second.
I lol'ed, literally.
Also...
I hate to be "that guy", but... A couple of the people responding here don't seem to understand that the entire blog post is taking the piss?
i.e. None of that stuff is real? Guys? Is this thing on?

Well, Pete, I tend to take anything you post as a kind of "gospel" and there is a Yummy open-sauce-code thing associated with JavaScript: [^].
I guess I've just appeared in a chapter of Gullible's Travels ?

There is a serious side to the whimsy - it's very easy for "APIs" to grow beyond a reasonable size due to shoehorning in other prerequisites that also grow beyond a reasonable size so you ultimately end up with a bloated, convoluted mess if you aren't careful. This makes it hard for you to assess the impact an API is having on your code, and the performance effects it has. How do you know that a critical component is performing well if it relies on something six layers away that is badly written?

Yeah, but in all honesty the yummy "issue" wouldn't have surprised me one bit.
I was so unsure of that one I actually went to the github repo to make myself feel better...
