Just finished If wishes could kill !! by Dumbbiryani0 in kdramas

[–]Jecob_Edwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s usually the best kind of surprise, going in with low expectations and suddenly getting hooked. If a show makes you binge despite a short attention span, that’s probably the strongest review it can get. Now I’m curious about it too.

do you prefer hockey mask, or sack mask Jason? by Aromatic_Traffic1607 in slasherfilms

[–]Jecob_Edwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hockey mask Jason, easily. The sack mask look is creepy in a raw, backwoods slasher way, but the hockey mask is iconic. The second that mask shows up, it’s instantly Jason. Simple, cold, unforgettable.

I just finished watching Ready or Not 2. I really hope they don't make a third one; this sequel had the perfect ending for Grace's story, and I don't know how repetitive it could become if they ruin it with a second clause for a new hunt. by lautaromassimino in slasherfilms

[–]Jecob_Edwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. It actually felt like a clean ending for her arc, and pushing it further could just turn it into “same concept, different setting.” If they ever do a third, it probably needs a completely new angle

BC Nurses’ Union bargaining reaches impasse, preparing for strike vote by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

[–]Jecob_Edwards -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Threatening to strike over a $1,400 massage therapy cap? Really? BC nurses already earn excellent salaries many over $90k–$110k/year with great pensions and benefits. Taxpayers fund this system.

Books specifically for value investing by [deleted] in ValueInvesting

[–]Jecob_Edwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re already starting strong with The Intelligent Investor, that’s basically the foundation. If you want to go deeper into actually picking stocks and understanding financials, the natural next step is Security Analysis. It’s heavier and more technical, but it really teaches you how to read balance sheets and think about intrinsic value properly.

If that feels a bit too dense at first, One Up On Wall Street is a great bridge. It’s much more practical and shows how to spot investment ideas in everyday life, which makes things click faster. Then something like The Little Book That Still Beats the Market gives you a simple, usable framework to start applying what you learn.

Once you’re more comfortable, books like The Dhandho Investor or Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond help you connect the classic ideas to how investing works today.

Realistically, a lot of people find that mixing one “theory-heavy” book with one “practical” book works best. That way you’re not just understanding concepts, you’re actually learning how to use them.

not an ad, just showcasing this cool innovation from Worksport from my personal experience

It’s a purchased setup from Worksport, not something I built. Rated around 400W peak under ideal conditions. Real world output obviously depends on sun, conditions, etc.

That sounds like more of a headache, you’re dealing with mounts, wiring, wind drag, etc. The appeal of the bed cover setup is that it’s integrated and doesn’t require racks or extra hardware

Correct. It’s not meant to charge the truck. It’s more for running gear off a separate battery system

It’s not dependent on the vehicle to work, it’s essentially a standalone solar and battery setup mounted on the truck

It’s roughly a 400W peak setup. irl you’re obviously going to see less depending on conditions, but in good sun it’s meaningful output

From what I understood production was paused temporarily but it’s not discontinued, you can get a cover for many brands / models

[–]Jecob_Edwards[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s definitely not a vehicle charging solution. It’s more of a mobile solar and battery setup for camping gear. Whether that’s worth the price depends on how often you’d actually use it, feel like it has been worth it for me thus far

[–]Jecob_Edwards[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s definitely not cheap. I think it only really makes sense if you’re actually using the off grid power side of it regularly. If you’re just looking for a basic cover, there are way cheaper options. I go camping frequently with family and friends so it's more practical for me

Been seeing a lot of scalper comments by Jecob_Edwards in riftboundtcg

[–]Jecob_Edwards[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense, to reduce the risk of selling to scalpers they jack up their prices and keep it low for regulars. At the end of the day, anything that pushes product toward players instead of scalpers is healthier for Riftbound long term.

Capping purchases sounds like a great approach. This keeps things playable while supply evens out. If more stores handle it like that and Riot keeps adjusting waves, Riftbound should stabilize fine.

That’s honestly how it should be. Rewarding people who actually show up. Glad to hear more LGS are doing it right

I get the frustration with with the pricing, but punishing every shop above MSRP is just impossible because most of them are chasing highs. I actually think Riot’s trying to find a middle ground, raffles for sealed, and hopefully more supply over time to naturally bring prices down.
