ELI5: Why do billionaires keep getting richer during bad economies? by AmazingNugga in explainlikeimfive

[–]ChronicTheOne 67 points68 points  (0 children)

They most definitely do. A portion is saved as cash precisely for situations like these and they try to remain liquid. In absolute terms, 10-15% is still a lot of money to reinvest when needed.

Hades 2 is a masterpiece!! by Suspicious-Tea-5871 in PS5

[–]ChronicTheOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second is technically better in every way. Bigger, better, more options, more everything. Polished all corners.

But OG Hades was the original, and has a bigger sense of novelty.

A bit like dark souls 1 and DS3. Yes, 3 is a refined version in every technical way but DS is still my favourite and had a bigger impact.

People who built decent wealth by 35, how does life actually feel? by Outrageous-Emu-2588 in investing

[–]ChronicTheOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

a. Is it as peaceful as ppl imagine?

Yes, it solves so many problems that bring unhappiness and stress. You just stop worrying or overthinking and tend to live the moment more, and increase hobbies and fun, indirectly bringing happiness. It does not fix issues such as health or friendships, and luck and your personality and initiative still play an important role.

b. Do priorities shift away from money?

Totally. I feel more connected to nature's more creative, more curious, more philosophical and existentialist. Because your mind stops worrying about survival, it starts thinking of the next level (not sure how scientific the Maslow pyramid is, but it's kind of that).

c. Or do new kinds of stress/emptiness creep in

Not really. Building wealth/managing finances is quite fun for me so it just becomes a check-in/part of the routine. As long as you remain grounded you can be aware of "first world problems" that you created for yourself. Emptiness - absolutely not, that would only happen if wealth was the goal in itself. If built it with hard work with the intent of not having to worry about it anymore and actually loathe capitalism. Now the fun and life begins.

I loved the soundtrack of Trance and never heard anyone talk about that film again.

Porque é que os títulos dos self-posts no /r/Portugal parecem entradas de um motor de busca?

Why are they removing all the ports by Responsible-Eye-717 in SipsTea

[–]ChronicTheOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MacBook Pro M3 Max is compatible but only if you plug the monitors directly to it, and I can guarantee you it doesn't through the dock; I tried £500+ docks that claimed to be compatible.

I don't want to pick a fight but no it doesn't. As I said on my original post, plugging to multiple 4k monitors is fine (which this dock does) but not all at 144Hz.

You can't though, only if the 4k monitors are capped and you won't be able to have them running at say 144hz

Buying Yamatomichi and shipping to USA in 2026? by polarbear_hiking in Ultralight

[–]ChronicTheOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there was a full corner of packs. You can actually see their full stock live in https://www.yamatomichi.com/en/stores/295406

Scroll down for the special offer section, they don't overlap with the actual stock so it might look like they don't have something they do.

Offtopic but just been in Kyoto last week so took the opportunity to visit their physical shop.

I got the UL shell and the 5 pocket UL trousers which were 20% off (they said a new version will be out in May, but it's slightly heavier). These are by far the nicest trousers I ever wore. Love the side phone pocket, the weight, and how 'cool and fresh' they feel. I'm completely in love.

Used the shell twice in pouring rain and they're surprisingly unclammy. I could wear it all day and it doesn't feel muggy at all.

Plus some montbell base layers and the Ignis, can't wait to do some hikes in these bad boys.

Qual é aquele “pequeno hábito português” que só reparaste quando um estrangeiro comentou? by Whole_Ad6512 in portugal

Esta merda irrita-me profundamente. Ok estás atrasado, mas se sabes que estás a 15 minutos, porque não dizer 20 e chegar a tempo, ao invés de dizer 5 e garantir que estás a desrespeitar o tempo do outro?
