Although it seems like this would be an extreme take to someone who's luckily kept a steady job despite not keeping their personal life out of their work life, I completely agree. It's not worth it. I think everyone gets a pass fo

Specifying USD is indeed often a service usually offered by people born elsewhere for people born elsewhere. Americans seem rarely know about these mysterious places, where bills can come in all sorts of funny sizes and colours. (kind of jo

To me this doesn't really need an analogy at all, but it would be closer to tethering on a 5g plan you pay for with the same constraints you pay for, which is subtly different than the unlimited home server example. I've never let

I'd say the only thing it's a newish aesthetic for is web UI that isn't implemented in Flash, but even then there's been periodic resurgences. Command and Conquer, Starcraft 2, I'm sure there are tons of examples I&

Seems to me that is what it means to be a cook. If you make food or you make recipes, you can be proud of what you did. If you want to create recipes from scratch, that's an increased level of risk, but if you're a good cook, mayb

If I had your setup, I would still prefer the client experience of either Infuse, Jellyfin, or Plex, but I don't think I'd value it enough to pay. The first time I used plex, I was impressed by the fact that I didn't really n

Early in my adulthood, the balance of rent vs buy was closer, and renting was either the choice for someone without much money, or you paid a premium for the convenience of renting, but otherwise the cost of borrowing for the same place was

Taking a cursory look at the ThinkPad website, which is nearly unnavigable, the model I was able to find with 64gb of ram and a 1TB currently costs (a lot) more than an M5 Pro that has a better SoC, way better screen, way better battery lif

As far as I know, they're taxed higher in the sense that they're not exempt from capital gains, like primary residences are, but in my view it seems like that would at-most be a marginal disincentive if renters don't have muc

This seems to be, or have been, a very common scenario in Canada, which is why I completely discount when most politicians start going on about a "housing crisis" when in another breath they'll say they don't want houses

Oddly enough I recently accepted an old beat up, but gigantic utility truck from the 90s that I'd never have purchased, and while it's fun to drive, it's also absurd to try and park it anywhere. Even box trucks are comparativ

Sometimes I wonder whether going excessively slow around corners is a symptom of people pushing their steering wheel from the side opposite the direction of the curve instead of pulling it from the same side into the curve. Just a hunch, bu

Reasonable analysis, especially because this person seems to have an actual house. In my case, I rent and don't pay for electricity directly, so the cost effectiveness threshold is whenever the landlord starts complaining

Vancouver is fucked in many ways but general safety is not one of them. Quality of life is quite good if one can afford.

Makes sense to me, your other comment that elaborated on the scenario adds some useful context. I assumed there was quite a lot missing and tried to frame the comment for future versions of myself that might think it's a good idea to j

The convenience, anecdotally, largely comes from stocking up on a big buy and not having to carry anything futher than from the cart to the car and from the car to the house. This is also done at any other big box store, but Costco does it

I went a bit far in saying there's a "missing" sense of taste, but did mean that it's not important to apply it when buying huge amounts of groceries, so I agree. What I was thinking of more broadly was the cookie cutter

My impression of Costco's selection is that it's the retail distillation of car-centric suburbs, despite it not being exclusively those people who shop there. The happy suburbanite cares about convenience and quantity above all el
