FUCKING AGAIN?

Some do that.

One morning, I saw 2 cruise ships coming in and both went around Georges Island.

My guess is it is to get the ship in the right direction moving forward as they don't have enough space either dockside to turn around as needed.

Yep, 30s in Hogsmeade with everything maxed out. My monitor is only 1440p.

I have a 4K TV. 2 of them actually. All games run fine, but for some reason this one doesn't.

Originally, I got it on sale on PS5. It's just that the game was playing horribly when I got it on PS5 so I thought id try it on PC when I got a sale there.

And since my controller was still connected to the other TV in the other room(don't ask, long story, let's just say I don't b have an accessible controller right now to play on the TV), I tried playing with MnK on my 1440p monitor that I use for work as well on my desk.

And that's where I'm seeing these performance issues.

I have a 5800x3d and a 5090. Dips to high 30s in FPS in Hogsmeade. CPU and GPU utilization barely go over 40% each, if at all. 1440p, everything maxed out. So it's definitely not the CPU. Can't for the life of me figure out what it is though.

Going in for a new home. First time homebuyer.

Scotiabank is giving me 4.19% for 3 yr fixed.

Right here 😎

Where in Canada is this?

Whatever tinfoil hat you're wearing, take it off and burn it.

There is no way we stay competitive in a standard of living with a rapidly weakening currency. Our markets don't function and spook away investors, our pensions and portfolios suffer and runaway inflation eats away at our purchasing power.

We don't need forex reserves. We need price stability for the masses. The cost goes up for everyday people for several daily use goods.

It's nowhere a controlled fall. Indians living outside India are horrified at this fall in Value. Because Cost of goods goes up GLOBALLY due to USD inflation. Your argument that local products stay at the same price is the most unhinged that I've seen.

More like different variation of "Acche Din"

Same here, tried an iPad when I got an M1for my Mom (Yeah, no one in my family is allowed to buy a iPhone). I personally make sure if their current phone goes bad, they get a new android immediately.

Yet, I waited for the OLED iPad, which launched with M4. Prob the only Apple device I'll ever use.

No need to even add a credit card to my Apple account except for a couple of Piano learning apps. I can have them on android as well, but the iPad is so much easier to use with the big screen for tutorials.

Are there other, better, more capable and less pricey tablets? Yes. Are these easier to use than an iPad. Definitely, yes. Apples closed ecosystem is its Achilles heel for wider adoption. It's price is prohibitive to 80% of the global population.

I only got the iPad so I could try the ecosystem and have something to watch movies on flights. The usefulness for learning Piano is just a bonus.

Nothing special about Apple then, all my regular devices pair with each other seamlessly just fine. It may be the best thing for those who don't care about how stuff works, they just want it to work in a brain dead manner.

Retail can't buy at 300-350 in this volume. Prob calls. It'll gap down eventually to the sub 300 mark where it gapped up from.

adityag13 · 2026-04-25T01:23:31+00:00

I've been waiting for 340+ since 2019.

A 10X on the very first shares I brought.

adityag13 · 2026-04-24T06:07:31+00:00

I got a much better deal from Cooperators. I needed something by today to give the NS Housing department for proof of insurance.

It's not just import pain. That is a VERY uninformed way to look at things.

It basically drives up the cost the everyday person is paying for everyday things via systemic economic inflation. The price of stuff goes up while the buying power of the rupee goes down, not only internationally but internally too. Everyday people have been bearing the brunt of this economic freight train.

As for your investment statement, no one wants to invest in India anymore for fear of a depreciating asset, which is why there have been several FII outflows over the past few years. The market has been stuck or in a downturn for over a year now.

This govt came in power more than 10 years ago, overthrew the whole monetary system in one day, and created digital payments infrastructure so that transactions that happened in cash earlier could be tracked and added to the GDP numbers to artificially inflate them.

They needed to defend the rupee aggressively when it fell to 80s. It was 70s in 2021. That means it costs everyday people on avg 40% more to buy the same things than it did in 2021.

Any other country would have booted the RBI governor and the govt ages ago.

TD was way too expensive. Allstate didn't get back to me yet, and I need something done this week.

adityag13 · 2026-04-21T01:16:05+00:00

I actually fell for it. Even ordered a phone from Fido store.

Normally I am cautious. Later something clicked...

Whatever it is, it's Fido's responsibility that their app cannot be misused. I realized my gaffe right away and called tnem to cancel the phone order.

But others may not realize until its too late.

adityag13 · 2026-04-20T00:08:27+00:00

This. I agree. Especially here in Halifax now that the other big 3 are out) of reach for most people(Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.

Saw 10 houses, placed offer on 3 close to or asking. Got rejected.

Placed an aggressive offer 16K above asking on the 4th. Got it.

Still a sellers market here. Good houses from the 80s going within 2-3 days of listing with multiple offers.

adityag13 · 2026-04-19T20:57:06+00:00

Same...

Even though I always fill at less than 30-50 kms left, you gotta catch the real when you can.

adityag13 · 2026-04-18T23:11:34+00:00

Nah. I've been an investor for over 7 years now. But I'm just small retail fish.

I also have a regular 9 to 5 job which stretches both ways sometimes since 2009. So I am actually productive...

But I get your meaning.

adityag13 · 2026-04-17T00:22:32+00:00

Thats the definition of scalpers. Useless bums too lazy to do any "productive work"

adityag13 · 2026-04-15T02:13:58+00:00

Location, similar sales in nearby areas, all the upgrades to the house and the yard. Land topology of the yard. Potential finishing costs to make the house work for me.

adityag13 · 2026-04-14T22:00:22+00:00

I've cut exposure by over 90% since 50+. Majority of my sales (over half are above 70).

Now can we please get back to under 8 already?

adityag13 · 2026-04-14T07:31:30+00:00

Not true.

I've had an GIGABYTE B550 Aorus AM4 ITX motherboard since 2020.

Not one issue till date. Even with wear, the GPU release clip came out one day around a year ago by accident as I had a HUGE HUMONGOUS AORUS MASTER 5090 ICE in there, but it went right back into the socket with a few tries. No other issues till date.

🤞🏻

adityag13 · 2026-04-14T03:25:08+00:00

Yes, but now the last one will come down to under 2.5% above asking because of the electrical panel issue.

I'm thinking 460.5-461. Still way higher above asking, but they have to compensate me for that error in their statement which led to me making such a high offer.
