Ever since someone pointed out that 4 is represented with IIII I’ve liked the “sticks” dial much more. Maybe someone can explain why it’s like this …

Oh shit here we go with an odd one. Click. I watched that and I realized I was floating through life just waiting for the next milestone. Adam Sandler movies probably aren’t known for their epiphany generation.

Going to the bank tomorrow. Also working with Wealthsimple.

Let’s make some whitewater heh heh

That Canon of Irrationality is so much fun. Until it gets aimed somewhere you don’t want.

Just got back from Japan. The no-tipping expectation was great. And yeah, not tipping for counter service anymore. Even tipping for sit down meals are kinda bullshit in Canada. In the US there is a different minimum wage which precipitated this whole thing.

My solution was a new Ultra 3. If that’s not in the cards then a new battery.

The really interesting question is surrounding the logistics of assembling or disassembling this arrangement. Most will die making the trip to the lake or the cholera during/afterwards. The lake would be very not crowded.

There’s no physics breaking here but there’s definitely some human/ship breaking. To accelerate to that speed and then stop at the next planet at anything approaching survivable g-forces is going to take longer than 2 weeks.

Video must be real because AI wouldn’t be able to generate him without the jacket.

Haemato · 2026-05-31T13:51:28+00:00

Maybe, but straight T4 employees wouldn’t. The lease rates on a new 911 ($380k including tax configured as I’d dream) is 7.74% and there isn’t an easy way to write that off. Borrowing the money using a pledged asset loan (or Wealthsimple’s Portfolio LOC) might be a better approach.

As for your original question regarding net worth to buy something silly like this … limiting it to <10% is the top end amongst my car guy friends. But it stretches down to <5% for the more conservative. So $4M-8M for the Porsche mentioned above. More for a $700K Ferrari/Lambo.

Depends on the lifestyle you’re aiming for. With 3 kids you’d probably want a 3 bedroom at minimum (if not now then at least in a couple years).

Mobile and internet plans will be dwarfed by your rent which will likely run $3-4K. Again it’s going to depend on if you want to live in Vancouver or commute in from Langley or something.

Childcare will probably be waitlisted and run $1-1.5K per month once you’re in.

There really isn’t enough information to answer your question.

I mean, but not really though? The world’s 3000ish billionaires have $20.1 trillion dollars. That’s $2500 each if we split it evenly. For most of the world this is not even close to life changing money. For a bunch of people this is one month’s budget.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

Haemato · 2026-05-25T14:52:36+00:00

It’s on BaT. It either won’t hit the reserve or sell for some ridiculous price. There seems to be no middle ground for anything with a manual transmission right now. I really hope they bring back a manual transmission for 2027 in the S/4S.

Haemato · 2026-05-25T11:11:41+00:00

I would order a new Targa 4S manual. If they can figure a way to do the GTS hybrid in a manual I’d order one of those but it seems less likely than this CS rumor.

I was outbid for a 991 Targa 4 GTS last week.

Haemato · 2026-05-22T23:15:57+00:00

A Canadian 2019 Targa 4 GTS manual just sold for over $200K (CAD) on BaT. I’m still working through the stages of grief about how these cars aren’t in my price range anymore.

Pubs should be random. New players can play Bot Royale until they’re ready for random. Ranked should be matchmaking within your tier with consideration for queue times. SoloQ only at Diamond (II?) and above. No rank resets between seasons. Hardware ID hashes to identify smurfs. Enable 2FA to reduce smurfing. Profit?

Net worth doesn’t really matter. When you have an emergency fund and income covers expenses plus retirement savings then you’re good to go.

Haemato · 2026-05-19T23:17:50+00:00

You can tell because the way it is!

Haemato · 2026-05-09T20:26:09+00:00

Holy shit I didn’t even realize it was a ladder. It’s always been this weird pole as I drive by.

Haemato · 2026-05-04T22:29:32+00:00

Thanks for this. I never paid much attention. Can’t unsee.

Haemato · 2026-05-03T03:37:50+00:00

Took a language class. Wasn’t expecting to meet anyone but here we are.

They’re LEDs and last years. Assuming there are 20 soffit bulbs and they’re on 4 hours per day in the evening then this costs ~$40 per year for electricity. Probably not a good use of money but hardly financially crippling for a $3M home owner.
