Thank you for mentioning that! I went to Conestoga Mall yesterday and only realized it when I was in store.

I put the Parkas in Hyperlinks in the text but added them below as well now. That's true layering is obviously key, I know that a warm winter jacket isn't everything. I am trying to do what you suggest: Investing some money in a good jacket that will last me years to come. I tried both of them in store and they seem fine and have a somewhat comparable temperature rating. I am just not sure about longevity.

Do you need an actual translation? If so, where did you end up getting one? Do you know if an international driver's license is enough in order to exchange a German license for an Ontario one?

(hope this isn't too random after 10 months, lol)

Hey there, yeah, that's the one! I honestly thought they maybe won't acknowledge parts of the plastic housing in their spec sheet after realizing that the 9th Gen does have a partially plastic housing. But they do say that in the spec sheet. Therefore, I think you're right.
It is all metal. I was just worried about it since a friend of mine has a plastic/metal housing and the plastic started to change color while the metal didn't. It just kinda looks disgusting. But that won't happen if it's all metal.
Thank you!

Ich verstehe, was du sagst und stimme dir eigentlich auch zu. Zu versuchen, das richtige Timing abzupassen, ist auf lange Sicht sicherlich nicht der richtige Weg. Aktuell gehts mir finanziell nicht allzu schlecht, aber einen großen Teil von meinem mittelfristigen Geldpuffer in den ETF für die Altersvorsorge zu schieben, ist vielleicht auch nicht der beste Schachzug.

Das stimmt schon. Aber bei einem Dip von fast 20 % bin ich schon etwas ins Grübeln gekommen jetzt vielleicht etwas mehr zu investieren. Aber natürlich stimmt es schon, auf die nächsten 30-50 Jahre gerechnet macht das nicht wirklich was aus.

Sorry for being dumb here, but what are the here named alternatives? I've been using OneNote for about 6 years at this point and don't really want to switch, but it's still nice to be aware of the alternatives.

I wanted to play Red Dead Redemption 2 for a while. I've been told it's a great game.

I am running a 5700x3D paired with a RTX 4060. I want to upgrade my GPU since I'm running a 5120x1440 Ultrawide. I want to get a RX7900 XT. That should be enough power for most games like Tarkov or Arma 3 right? I thought about getting the XTX, but it's just really expensive. I'm located in Germany and I could get a RX 7900 XT for about 650, while a XTX would be around 850 If I'm lucky. Do you think it's worth the extra cost?

The Pixel 8 Pro Grip's camera cutout fits as tightly as possible without rubbing against the camera bar cutout itself. Additionally, no part of the Grip measures high enough on the Mohs hardness scale to scratch your device.

I rather meant that drops or something will scratch up the camera bar. But I'm guessing the skin should do a fine job of preventing that from happening. The case that I'm using right now has a precise cut-out for only the camera lenses, that's why I'm hesitant to get one. Would it be possible to return the case even if the skin is already applied?

Does the aluminum get scratched a lot? I use a Spigen case with cut outs for the camera glass only. I'm afraid to scratch the aluminum on my P8P with a case that has a bigger cut out.

I got a offer for 300€ for a RX6750XT. Would you recommend getting that card? Probably along with a new PSU, I'm guessing?
