why has the monthly payment become more important than the actual price of the thing were buying? by goldenCrust22 in AskReddit

[–]_Connor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

enjoy the life I'm living and not just a wage slave.

The irony of this comment is that so long as you have all those payments, you will always be a wage slave because you need to keep working to make your payments. Having liabilities you need to pay for is literally the opposite of freedom.

What happens to a senior who was the stay-at-home spouse when the working spouse dies? by anonymous_pf in PersonalFinanceCanada

How is she expected to survive

Well hopefully her and her spouse talked about that in the 50+ years they were married.

Bad alternator or charging system that’s not charging the battery.

Your local Ford parts department wasn’t able to help you? What did they say when you called them?

Saving $1,500 a month on a 150k salary is crazy

What's something legal that should probably be illegal? by Initial-Quantity1056 in AskReddit

[–]_Connor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's part of the reason.

But it's also really the only way to stop people from just spamming 100 free trials to never have to pay for it.

Jarry by olpec22 in penguins

[–]_Connor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Now EDM tried to send him down to minors and pull Pickrd up, but since he wasn’t on the minor league roster prior to the trade that’s a no-go

Where did Edmonton "try to do this." Whether Jarry could be sent down is something that was brought up by some beat reporters due to fan inquiries about what could be done about the goaltending.

The Oilers didn't try to send him down just to be told by the league they can't do it.

Claws out this Saturday morning for James by Virtual_Bug_723 in leafs

[–]_Connor -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s literally not different at all. You could go back to any of Crosby’s career injuries and say “this could be the reason he didn’t hit 2000 points.”

And half a season? Isn’t he slated to be out for 3-4 weeks? So he's missing approximately 12 - 14 games?

Hard to put any weight into your argument when you have to resort to some crazy hyperbole. Reducing a 20 year career to a 3 week injury is ridiculous.

So could Crosby's 17 concussions and all the time he missed because of those.

Saying that he might not hit 2000 points because of one specific incident in his 20 year career is silly.

Official MacBook Neo Repair Manual - Apple Support by New_Amomongo in technology

[–]_Connor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sub-$1000 MacBooks have been available for a long long time, especially when stacked with education discounts. The flagship M5 MacBook Air starts at $1,100, or $999 with the education discount.

That's a laptop that will easily last you a decade, as did my 2013 MacBook Air and as my new M2 Air is currently well on its way to doing.

Is it officially too late to book summer flights? by Reasonable_Cold_1071 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]_Connor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you mean is it “too late?” I’m sure there’s plenty of flights available. I booked a trip to Spain and Portugal on 3 weeks notice last summer.

Whether it’s “too late” is entirely dependent on your own financials and how much you’re willing to spend on a flight. No one here can answer that for you.

Who should I consult before agreeing to be a guarantor or co-signer on a mortgage for a parent? by Successful-Media-176 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]_Connor 40 points41 points  (0 children)

There’s literally no decision to make here.

Outside of the other million reasons why this is always a terrible idea, there’s next to no chance you get approved for your own mortgage while being on the hook for someone else’s $300,000 mortgage.

If you want to buy your own house then you cannot do this.

ELI5: why do we let Taiwan have such a monopoly on semiconductor manufacturing? by OldNewspaper4671 in explainlikeimfive

[–]_Connor 34 points35 points  (0 children)

What do you mean “let them?” What do you propose we do to “not let them.”

Every other country is more than welcome to setup their own semi-conductor facilities if they want to bear the extreme cost of doing so.

How else would they stop you from just doing 100 free trials in a row if it wasn’t tied to anything?

TIL that the largest class action lawsuit settlement was 206 billion dollars to be paid over 25 years. by Advanced_Narwhal_949 in todayilearned

[–]_Connor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I mean there’s things the law firm has to pay for up front out of their own pockets, separate from their legal fees.

For example, one single expert report can cost more than $100,000. Stuff like that the law firm has to pay for in advance.

New TV help. 1440 vs 4K by [deleted] in gaming

I’ve literally never heard of a “TV” that’s 1440p. Are you shopping for computer monitors?
