  1. can you help me find a site, I found Grover but they seems to be out of macs with more than 8gb of ramseem
  2. For some weird circumstances, I need to rent (buying not allowed) 2 good macs and peripherals. What companies are good to deal with in this area? Looking at a budget of 4K a year.
  3. to be fair you are def. a pirate
  4. I ended up getting a galaxy s10 plus for 240 usd! thank you for guiding me with your recomendation.
  5. I just fucked up my phone, and the screen does not work anymore. I could buy a new screen assembly for about 80-100 usd but my phone feels slow and clunky at times (it is still a somewhat modern Samsung A80). I want a phone that is less than 350 usd, and that can be used with Mint mobile (unlocked preferred), I think i would be fine with 64 gb of storage. Other than that I really do not care much about the camera. I just want a phone that would last at least another 2-3 years unless i drop it again. I would like some sort of water resistance as I fucked the charging port of my A80 on heavy rain before. Any advice on which site i should but the phone from would be great also
  6. We are sadly on a tight budget. The two of us make 35k a year as that is the money i get from my PhD stipend and she cannot work in the US as I am on a student visa and she is on a dependant visa. I am 21 years old, already graduated from college, manged to save some money as the scholarship i got exceeded my expenses. Since I am an student the city gives us 50% discount a year on transport so the yearly price is really 160 for the bus pass. I used to live in Denver and there bus prices were madness from what I am used to in other countries i lived. we also really do spend just about 200 a month for the two of us at home. We never eat out though, and dont eat much meat either. Plus the school as a cool shop were you can get anything for free so we do compensate with that. How it is looking, i think we will end up getting 2 radbikes (ebikes like the one Taran used to use for 2800 for the pair) as a car truly seems like a money pit at the moment. Maybe if I get into a posdoc later our income from an stipend would double and she would be allowed to work in the US. But that would be something only possible in a few years from now
  7. Thank you so much for your very elaborate response! 1) we really do not use taxis or any other mean of transport besides the buses. Maybe twice a year when we do go abroad and need to go to the airport and back home. But that is never over 40 dollars total. We would thought like to go on road trips as our time in the US is rather limited. We are not from here and we are just here with my student visa for my PhD. 2) Frinds all live nearby, all our family live in different contients. She is in eurasia and I in southamerica. 3,4) I would surely would like to get dirty with out car, Though we do live in an apartment in a rather quiet and good area. I have no idea how it would sit with the landlord but we could always ask. I do have a few friends who would help me check out a car as I have no idea on what to look for nor does my wife. I do plan on paying cash for the car on most of my escenarios. However i too came with arround 3000 dollars a year which is far too much for our budget I think.
  8. I thought so too, I rather save up some money than pay all these expenses on a car and perhaps rent one when we go for road trips. No offence done, I think the bus will be nice for us. I just see a car as a bit of a money blackhole. hopefully one I am done with this PhD things will get better. What ebikes should we be looking at, something reliable and with nice warranties.
  9. Country: US. My wife and I make 35K a year before tax. We have no debt at all, we pay around 1000 a month on rent with all utilities and 200 a month in food. We got 12k on our savings account but we surely do not wish to spend it all on a car. My commute is like 5 miles each way. Insurance would come at about 80-100 dollars a month. However it is hard to come up realistic yearly milage to account for the cost of gas. Bus public transort costs around 160 dollars for a yearly pass on the contrary. Though we would love to go on road trips around once each 2 months. We have no credit score as we never borrowed money before. We are also concerned about the cost of mainting a car over a period of 5 years.
  10. I found a drp3 for a good price, and I have in mind using the enthoo itx tg case, an msi itx mobo (also cheap) and some pny anarchy ram. Would this fit?
