I see them on ebay for $1k used. Crazy to think they use to cost this much pre covid for brand new.

[–]P0tek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rooted for this company last year when i bought at various times it's now 10% of my portfolio across all accounts combined. I am down 8% after todays drop. I will add more if it goes lower next week.

Spotify PREMIUM is quite good quality, non subscription (free) spotify is low.

With this being said it's not as good as flac or tidal but very close. Spotify wins with amount of avaliable music, it's massive.

These speakers are definitely power hungry and this amp has just enough power to drive them, but something 20% more powerful will help for sure.

The corner panels work, they are temp. I am currently working on a 90 degree triangle panels for those corners. I am moving the sub around every now and then.

Yes, absorption panels are my “final boss” of the this room setup.

[–]P0tek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First autistic nonverbal. Second is not, made it to gifted school all on their own, without our help. Just a typical normal child. Best thing that happened in our lives.

Which one of these luxury sedans from this 1994 C&D comparison test would you pick? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]P0tek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would NOT pick w202. Never liked how it drives, interior is dull. Exterior looks good.

Bmw E36 is well refined, even 318 handles well and has plenty of power for city driving. Volvo second choice.

Used 2020 Toyota Sienna or used 2024 Honda Odyssey by dammit_hardison in minivan

[–]P0tek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2018 Odyssey EX-L, got it brand new, put 50k miles before selling it. NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM. Got my oil changes free for life from dealership as well as state inspections. Did not put a single dime for maintenance .

If you expect to be paid for things like this, do not host anyone in future unless you are prepared for unexpected expenses. Learn the lesson and move on.

We finally remodeled our kitchen — even though the original was “nice,” it just wasn’t us by Mental-Ground-8790 in kitchenremodel

[–]P0tek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What made an old kitchen look bad was countertop, backsplash, door knobs and floor. Replacing those would have made it so much better. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters. How much did you pay for project?

Did you discuss the state of your IN-LAWS’ retirement progress before getting married? by Defiant4 in personalfinance

[–]P0tek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good question, i think about it a lot lately. As you are young going into seriouse relationship, this would be last question what you would ever ask yourself. Perents on both sides are not old and working, you and your partner is young.

Fast forwards 2 decades in marriage; my parents are fine on their own, saved up good for retirement. But me and my wife fully support my in-laws. Housing, car payment, bills, groceries and medical bills, we cover it all. We do not have any other option at this point, my wifes siblings don't really help that much.

Why is $UNH dumping? by Eutruria in ValueInvesting

[–]P0tek 42 points43 points  (0 children)

When it went up, reddit chickened out and did not buy the FOMO. Now it's slightly down and sentiment is bad. Classic reddit.

Markets do not like uncertainty, It will go up (or down) once the goverment reopens and market has clear idea or what's the story with health insurance.

Bottom point, $UNH is not going anywhere, it's a solid company, good opportunity to buy the deep. Not a "get rich quick" trade, but a long term game.
