    Good-bye?- Anandtech

    Darn. There goes my idea of reselling my account. A lightly used account in good standing, I figured it should fetch at least $3.50. Sad news, one of the first tech sites I started visiting, I bookmarked AT probably in the 90s, and I lurked in the forums since ~2004 before registering.

    Next summer should be interesting

    I generally avoid connections under 2hr. I've had 2 cases where the plane was basically waiting for me, and while I made it, my checked luggage didn't. If I only got a carry-on, then probably fine, they do seem to be aware of short connections and will wait a bit if needed. I describe it as...

    2024 Paris Summer Olympics

    I like watching olympics, even the smaller sports. Many of these often have great backstories. Sarah Sjoestrom winning 100m is one such case, I was surprised this was only her 2nd gold olympic medal given her many WRs and a double digit world championship titles. She made a late decision to...

    What first world problem did you have today?

    Ah, yes, Americans with their good-natured ribbing of Canadians for using bags for milk when most people in US know that plastic bags should not be used for liquids other than gasoline.

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    I only watched the last quarter, what a crazy game. Wolves got burned by that last over-rule - the commentators were right, that rule is bad, refs were in a bad spot really. Edwards & Towns not delivering, if it wasn't for Reid, the game wouldn't be even close. With all the challenges and...

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    I've only watched a couple playoff games this year, but yeah, this one was entertaining, I don't really have a vested interest in any of the teams left. Maybe Dallas a bit because of Doncic. I didn't watch yesterday's game, but BOS needed OT, so pretty close too. With DEN/OKC/MIL out, of course...

    Discussion ***Official*** 2024 Stock Market Thread 💰

    For mutual funds cost per unit doesn't mean much as you can buy fractional units, I only care about $ amount. TSX is not the same as S&P500, if you prefer BMO, this would be the closest: https://www.bmogam.com/ca-en/products/exchange-traded-fund/bmo-sp-500-index-etf-zsp/ It's an ETF though, I...

    Discussion ***Official*** 2023 Stock Market Thread 💰

    I'm not a fan of GICs - money is locked for a certain period of time, and it's generally a lot lower rate than whatever related index/sector is. Like the best I can see at my bank is 5yr with a guaranteed min rate of 12% and up to max 50%. This is an overall rate over 5 years, not annualized...

    Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

    That was USSR, Putin never made threats of invading Finland and taking territory, that's just silly. Sure, it's possible that ethnic Russians might get mistreated by nazi Fins, and they might spontaneously declare People's Republic of Eastern Finland and Russia would protect them (in a special...

    Jesus's middle name is Hume! Caution: Some NSFW images within!

    Same building, same setup, different girl. Much more believable lightning-to-thunder delay in this video though. The first comment points out that they "fixed the sound" this time and apparently it was already debunked. So I was right :colbert: :D

    Sardines

    I love canned sardines. The fact they are among the healthier (and cheaper!) food is just a bonus. Generally I like oily fish better than white fish, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. I buy a Croatian brand (Eva) in a local specialty store, I've tried Portuguese sardines, they're good too...

    Who buys a funeral casket ahead of time?

    I don't see it as reducing any kind of burden. An image below is an example - someone will still have to arrange for the year of death to be added. If it wasn't there, that same someone would have to arrange for name+years, the difference looks meaningless, you already know the style and...

    Just curious....how is the weather in your neck of the woods?

    Yesterday it was 29C (84F) in Toronto, 27C today. Needless to say, not seasonal temperatures for this time of year around here. I'm not complaining though... It's expected to cool down over the weekend.

    Who buys a funeral casket ahead of time?

    Pretty much the only case I see this is when there's a family grave with maybe parent's names or a spouse name already there on the gravestone. Its very clear how it will look like with your name added. Basically the only difference is that when you die your name + years will have to be added...

    Who buys a funeral casket ahead of time?

    Another practice I find morbid - people who add their name to a gravestone while still alive, the year of death to be added later. Like "Joe Smith 1960 - " I don't wanna be visiting a cemetery and seeing my name.:neutral:

    Who buys a funeral casket ahead of time?

    That's just crazy. You'd think people would wanna go there in person, try it out, see how it suits them, feel the fabrics, bring some family and make an outing.

    rofl at car prices or everything prices.

    33% seems reasonable for 8 years given that last few years raises have been a bit higher, at least in eng sector. But where does it state that promotions are not counted?

    Yup, hate when they do that. However, Reddit is doing it too LOL. Anyway, doesn't help me, but it can still be useful to those who have a Reddit account and not Twitter.

    NBA 2022-23 Season

    The record for a champion with the worst regular season is 44-38. This season Heat had 44-38, Lakers had 43-39. So there's a chance for the record to be tied or beaten. I hope not though, I'd rather see Celtics vs Nuggets. But Heat vs Lakers wouldn't shock me either, Heat already kicked out...

    Just curious....how is the weather in your neck of the woods?

    Toronto also getting crazy temperatures for this time of year, daily high forecasts for today and the next 3 days are 22C, 27C, 25C, 24C. Historic normals are low teens. Who broke the dam? :rage:

    World Cup 2022

    Penalty call was BS, the goalkeeper wasnt really moving. Luckily for referee, it didnt decide the game, ARG was overall better, a well deserved win, payback for 2018 WC. I also dont see Morocco getting past France, but I already thought that against SPA/POR, so FRA win is far from given. But it...

    World Cup 2022

    Yeah, you'd have to ban phones/internet devices for the whole stadium. Even walkie-talkie to someone outside of the stadium is an option. I dont think they even try, I think I remember some coach's interviews after the games and it was clear they knew from the comments. And even players, like...

    World Cup 2022

    I was actually thinking before the matches that Spain might "strategize". Especially when after the 1st half Germany was leading, it's like "ok, guys, the plan to lose to Japan is a go, I repeat, it's a go". But when Costa Rica turned the game, as their win was the only thing that could screw...

    World Cup 2022

    Maybe in North America, but I know people who take vacation days and watch almost every game. :) I watch 1-2 games per day, the less games per day there are, the higher the percentage of games I'd watch. In any case, my point still remains - the World cup is around a month, and half of all games...

    World Cup 2022

    They should space out the first stage a bit. Half of all games have been played, and we're just done with day 8 out of 28 or so. 4 games per day is too much for those of us who have to work, it was too much even over the weekend lol

    NBA 2022-23 Season

    I'm surprised Utah is doing so well, their off season trades looked bad to me - out were 2 all-stars (Gobert and Mitchell), the 3rd best player (Bogdanovic) and O.Neale who was a regular starter, basically their whole starting lineup except for Conley and a good 6th man Clarkson. What they got...

    So public intimidation is now allowed in the UK

    In North America maybe. Not so much in UK and a good chunk of Europe as well - Leicester City won Premier league couple years ago, they've been in UEFA champions league etc. Stuff like that helps over there.

    I saw Ferrari FF, may have been GTC4Lusso, they're very similar. Two days in a row, Thu and Fri, same one though, white color. Ferrari's ain't rare here, but never saw the hatchback model before, funny to see it twice day after day. A bit unassuming as far as Ferraris go. NE Toronto (Markham...

    Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

    Maybe he has something like Leica Q2 Monochrome Reporter camera. Not having color filters does have some advantages I suppose, I'm sure there are reasons why it's called "Reporter" edition, even if I can't quite see it either.
