      Come to Alaska. It's that happy middle of Canada upsides with less than normal US downsides.

      well don't come to the US, it's no better here

      Haha it's better than here for sure. I've looked at the listings. I likely wouldn't move there for other reasons though.

      Wait, there is a housing market?!?!

      I thought it was all corporations, glory to them, which leased us poors houses at wonderful prices!!

      Edit:

      Forgot to add serious talking points.

      Housing market sucks completely across the board which is really rough. Sure there are some places but usually it's miles from anywhere out in the middle of empty land or in super small towns with little to offer in some circumstances.

      Haha, I'm a firm believer of banning foreign nationals from buying property. There's no reason for it. I wouldn't even mind living out of town, there's just very little available. I'll probably wait another year and see what's happening then.

      Haha one of my coworkers just came back from a posting there. She said she loved and hated it. I'd avoid it for the bears. One of my irrational fears 😂

      Haha, I don't think there's really a good party though. They're all fucked in one way or another. 

  2. Virtually everyone has a phone, I know almost no one with a tablet. There's just not as much demand sadly. I've often been shocked by how weak the tablet ecosystem is.
  3. New build, but depending on what you play at what resolution you might be able to ride out that 1080 for a while.
  4. 5600x. Maybe more RAM, as it's cheap. Then save up for an entire system upgrade.
  5. I like the idea of the Narwal, but $1,600 for a vacuum cleaner is a tough idea to swallow.

      I consider $180 to be expensive for a vacuum cleaner, and that's about my limit unless there's something that's super compelling about it. But it's a vacuum cleaner, so I doubt that would ever happen.

      Ehhh. $180 gets you a mediocre vacuum, unless you get it on sale. I got mind for $180 down from $550. It's undeniably significantly better than cheaper vacuums; the amount of extra dirt it picks up is honestly a little disturbing.

      We have two different definitions of mediocre then.

      I still can't believe narwhals are real tbh. 

  6. I don't think it's as much them taking your data as it is bad actors being able to indoctrinate the vulnerable. Like the case of the US serviceman that set himself on fire. I'd be glad to see this gone, though to be fair I'd be glad to see most social media gone. Such a waste of most people's time. Now I know what old people felt like when tv's were taking off. Welp.
  7. It's not that bad with proper PPE. If you think lead is bad, just wait until you find out how bad cheese dust is...
  8. $20 air fryer? Yes please. 

  9. I wouldn't be too worried about it TBH. Most SSDs will go far, far beyond the rated drive endurance. I believe it's more of a warranty thing. They tested x number of drives, all lasted within that time, so that's the rating they'll give them so that they don't have to file as many warranty claims.
  10. I'd probably look into more storage. 1TB these days goes by pretty quickly.
  11. You pretty much never get a 100% increase in what you get. That kind of hope will just leave you constantly unhappy. If you're worried about that kind of equation you're probably better off getting the 5 Pro. I'd probably get it sooner than later, as they'll ramp down production when they start manufacturing the 7 Pro.
  12. The Rivian R2 is the first electric vehicle that's really peaked my interest. 

     

    Though I still think the segment as a whole is destined for failure.

      Yes I'm aware. Who cares? Clearly I do. I need the towing capacity. A Sprinter van is 3 feet longer than a Cayenne, it also can't go offroad. I don't feel like driving something that large all the time.

       

      The vehicles you listed can't go offroad. Can't tow. A8 can't carry as much internally. Not very multipurpose.

       

      Saying no one cares about SUVs is so blatantly false it's laughable. If that were true, they wouldn't exist.

      Stop trying to push your views onto everyone as if they're fact 😉

      You didn't understand my point. You were making the point that SUVs were fun to drive. I'm telling you that no one ever bought an SUV for fun, because no one cares about that in an SUV. And that is what I meant with no one cares about SUVs. They're just like any other car, but in a shitty tall chassis.

       

      And on top of that no one does care in Germany about towing or load capacity. Again, if they were, they'd get a Sprinter, which is shorter than a Cayenne with a Trailer and much much cheaper. 

       

      If you actually take your SUV off road, cool, I bet there are dozens of you. In Germany no one does. Literally no one and no one tows more than 1-2t with a car here. If you want to get shit done here, you rent an appropriate car for the job. 

       

      The vehicles I listed, I didn't list because they are particular good at towing or going off-road. Again, you didn't understand my point.

      Not true, but believe what you like. 

       

      I'm not sure why you think I care what Germans do, as if that's some kind of benchmark for me. 

       

      I didn't understand your point because it's rather pointless.

      You saying it's wrong doesn't make it wrong. Typical 'murican behavior lol
