Incidentally, one of the stickiest lessons I received from my Econ 101 prof was that if you ever have a choice to go out with a couple with kids or a couple without kids, you should opt for couples with kids, for they value their leisure time as though it was ground up rhino horn.
- treebeard901 11y agoOn the other hand, how long does it really take to build a new PC? Maybe an hour for research and ordering parts... another two hours at most to put it together. Seems like a small investment for something you're going to use a lot.
- to3m 11y agoWell, sure, but if you spend a bit more money it will take no time at all, because somebody else will do it for you while you get on and do something else :) Much easier to find more money than more time.

- Aeolun 11y agoSure, for some people finding more money might be easier than finding more time. For others, not so much.
- irishcoffee 11y agoDo you have kids? Finding time to use said built PC is as precious (in the early days of children) as the time spent researching and building. I read somewhere that new parents lose 6 months of sleep in the first 18 months of having a child. Provided this estimate is wildly inaccurate, new parents are still trying to catch up 2-3 years later.
- zeroonetwothree 11y agoI have two kids under two, and I've built two PCs in that time. It takes a few hours, but I enjoy it. It's relaxing to do stuff like that at the end of the day. My alternatives are watching TV or reading Hacker News, and I don't see how that's any better :).
