Sowhatever,

Have you even read the comment you are responding to?

Also, no idea what consulting firms do, clearly.

Sowhatever,

Neither does anyone on here, but at least you don’t deny it :)

Sowhatever,

If you have pets bigger than a hamster, 70k in your lifetime seems reasonable, even low. That around 1k per year.

And a different used car every 6 years is borderline frugal. My dream would be a new car every 3 years.

I don’t see the data to be so bad. Even the house financing is realistic (heavily dependent on location, of course).

Sowhatever,

Mostly, yes, except addresses. Public companies publish that data.

Sowhatever,

Cars devaluate around 50% every 3 years, so if you bought a 3 year old car instead of new, you could swap it every 7 years for the same cost. And if it holds some residual value, even more often than that…

Some manufacturers even offer warranties on 3 year old leasing returns.

Sowhatever,

Going through SEC filings is not on my hobby list.

Sowhatever,

“There’s nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis.”

TIL in 1893, the US Supreme Court held 9–0 that the tomato should be classified as a vegetable rather than a fruit in Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304, for purposes (en.wikipedia.org)

of tariffs, imports and customs. Justice Horace Gray delivered the opinion of the Court in holding that the Tariff Act of 1883 used the ordinary meaning of the words "fruit" and "vegetable", instead of the technical botanical meaning....

Sowhatever,

Charisma is convincing you to eat the fruit salad anyway.

Sowhatever,

Well, now we can feel at home, it’s just like reddit!

Sowhatever,

Not even close to the experience.

Sowhatever,

Or maybe they are sharing the family plan with 2 other people and rounding up. Or they have a different plan. Or they live in a country with different prices and converting to usd. Or a handful of other reasons that doesn’t involve conspiracy theories.

Sowhatever,

What about my TV, where I watch most of my content? What about inter-device sync? What about paying the creators for their work?

I could also shoplift in my local supermarket, but I’m into “that sort of thing” (paying for people’s work).

Sowhatever,

How do I install it on my TV? How do I sync? Do I install on every device I use? What if I don’t have admin rights? What if it’s out of date and the ads play anyway?

For less than a Starbucks coffee I have a month of premium, and I don’t have to play cat and mouse.

Sowhatever,

A Starbucks coffee is around 5 euros.

I don’t want to look into anything, much less if it’s less seamless, I’m satisfied with the default YouTube app on my TV.

You need admin rights to install any software.

Sowhatever,

It’s more than triple for a family plan, but you share it with people and you land well under 5 euros per person.

Please tell me how to install chrome or Firefox on a corporate laptop without admin rights, I’ll wait.

Sowhatever,

Ah yes, the thinking.

If you watch low effort content you will get low effort content. I watch amazing content that is well worth the few bucks a month. Late night shows, stand up comedy, documentaries, news analysis, tech reviews, car reviews, programming news and tutorials, chess commentary and courses, architecture and interior design tours, sport summaries, popular science…

BTW, Walmart is a huge company, I assume you also don’t pay there? Apparently robbing corporations and farmers it also would be fine, because “the products are so low quality nowadays” …

Sowhatever,

Not familiar with Group Policies, I see?

Sowhatever,

Or TVs. Or people who want to sync between devices. Or download for offline. Or compensate creators. Or not bother installing 50 scripts and updating them 3 times a day. Or just do the right thing. You know, 99.99% of people.

Sowhatever,

“appeal to the majority doesn’t help your case”

  • guy who used appeal to the majority first
Sowhatever,

Lidl is also a big Corp.

Sowhatever,

Ditto

Sowhatever,

Use a second computer or a friend’s one to download the updates, get a USB ethernet adapter (a 100mbps one is like $5), put the system drive in a computer with lan, tether with another device via USB (phone, pi zero, etc) or use a different version/distro. I’m sure there are a bunch of other solutions.

Sowhatever,

Debían 3.0… good times.

Sowhatever,

Might be some AP incompatibility maybe, I’ve never seen those.

XBMC didn’t have drivers for video acceleration, but the raspberry pi 1 was able to play 1080p flawlessly if you used omxplayer.

Now kodi has the drivers included and the 4 can even play 4k up to certain bit rate.

The new ones are too expensive tho, a used NUC is a much better deal.
