The crazy thing is that, at least at Starbucks, a Venti hot drink is 2 shots, just like the grande. Paying extra for just more milk and sugar!

Buying the individual albums is still an option. The benefit of renting through Spotify (or any similar service) is that it's dramatically cheaper than owning the same amount of music.

Just move to Turkey. Start a new job. Find the love of your life. Get married. Have kids. Grow old together, and support your children as they age in to adulthood. Spend your golden years relaxing. Maybe visit some beaches.

Oh yeah, and I guess use your Turkish payment method at some point in there too. I'm guessing at some point in there you got like a credit card or something

I'm right there with you. Well, a bit worse, rocking a 20 for walkability. On a few occasions I have decided to take my life in to my own hands, walking the 1 mile alongside the cars which seem to have confused the 40 mph road with a drag strip.

The sweet reward for doing so? Nothing but the finest of dining options. From Subway to McDonald's to Taco Time, we've got it all!

Nah. Just take like 4 Ambien and sleep for that entire 34 hour train ride.

I drove Seattle to LA over the summer. Did it over two days. It wasn't pleasant per se. But I got to sleep in a real bed. Took an impromptu trip to San Jose (Winchester house). Found some good taco trucks. And still got there in half the time a train would. The train just doesn't make sense for us, not on long trips at least.

I'm lucky enough to have multiple routes to my office.

During the times that taking the back roads is dramatically slower, I'll go on the interstate. Holy hell my stress and anger levels rocket when doing that.

I don't think so?

The frequency I see ads is very very low. And when they do it's just a single card

Yeah it's from adguard DNS.

Ads just show up semi frequently. Definitely visible but not obtrusive. Just keep scrolling.

You should still see the frequency with adguard. It's just a blank area where normally there'd be an ad.

I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

I totally get what you're saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they're there to support the user experience that sync provides. They're also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

The nice thing is, there's choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

When was that? Where?

The house I bought in my 20s (for $275k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $475k.

The house I bought in my 30s ($480k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $800k

In my area at least, home prices are far outpacing inflation. I literally couldn't afford to buy the house I'm in today at its current value.

Do you write 4$ and 50¢?

Or do you write $4.50

And if you write $4.50 do you say "dollars four period fifty"?

That's not nearly the justification that you think it is.
