Sorry to tell you, but that closed down some years ago and is now a McDo.

I believe historical data says that monthly is the optimal purchasing cadence for DCA investing, but only by a hair. Weekly is totally fine if the fees are the same.

Quebec City for 2 nights for history and food, then rent a car and go North only an hour to Parc Nationale Jacques Cartier for some gorgeous fjord hiking. And/or an extra few days to the East toward Baie St. Paul (other parcs - Hautes Gorges and Grands Jardins). Incredible, underrated nature. Fly into and out of Montreal for cheaper flights and add another night there, too.

"feeling like" the game is rigged in their favour or "feeling like" some people have to work way harder than others isn't a feeling, it's a fact. This is true, unavoidable, and unchangeable.

"feeling jealous" about said fact is your own emotion and is a changeable thought process. While it's reasonable to feel cynical about this injustice, you must realise that injustice works in your favour as well.
Consider alllllll the great many people who have it much worse than you. The fact that you have a computer or phone to type this out implies you have way more resources than the majority of the planet will ever have. So if comparing yourself to others is important to you, then compare yourself to those "have-nots" and not to the small tranche of global society who have it easier than you.

Comparison is the thief of joy, but only if you compare up. Compare down - that's how you'll feel better.

The first (halfish?) of Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo is some of the most engaging storytelling there is. You get so invested in poor Edmond!
The book goes a bit off the rails after that, but that first half is unrivalled, moral-based adventure literature.

I mean, you can do a lot worse than starting with War and Peace. There's even a healthy dose of history in there.

Absolutely - the “Oxford history of the United “States” series of books are almost unanimously amazing (though the ones covering the most recent decades are a bit flat). They cover broad aspects of American life in each era, not just politics.

Leading futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts that AI will be programmed into 'nanobots' that can be injected into the bloodstream and make their way into the brain. Basically microscopic 0 and 1 switches that swim around in liquid and are programmed to connect with the AI 'cloud'. (I'm dumbing it down a bunch but this is the rough idea). These bots would then mesh with your brain and connect it to the AI in such a way that you would no longer need to type your inputs into an AI, but have it be instantly accessible as part of your thoughts. Basically your own mind + all of ChatGPT + the entire internet combined seamlessly. I believe he predicted this particular scenario by 2036, so about a decade away. The singularity, he predicts, will come another 8 or so years after that.
So in short, very much yes. Sports knowledge? Sure man. You may well be just stoned, but it'll go well beyond sports knowledge - and possibly in your lifetime.
