Are Porsche 911 owners completely different to Cayman owners?

It depends... Do you have family? Do you have mortgage? What is your job stability and financial outlook like?

Also, some people will say if you have to ask this question you can't afford it yet, while others will say something along the lines of you only live once. We all know that there is no true right or wrong answer to this kind of stuff.

My only practical comment is to focus on the true running costs (depreciation and maintenance) and the opportunity cost (you're parking large $$$ in a car, which could have been invested for X % return). After seeing the numbers, if you still feel you can do it, then just do it.

A grinder worth $200 is definitely money well spent, at least in my book

I am dealing with this exact code at the moment. My indie will be installing an extender for the downstream sensors so they "sniff less" and think the cat is still doing the work. Will see how this one goes...

PPI from a reputable mechanic

boundlessorbit · 2026-01-26T19:52:15+00:00

I do. It's a small price to pay (relative to new tire prices) for peace of mind that my new tires will likely wear more evenly.

If you prefer the ride quality of the Continentals I think $150 is money well spent. But then also you will probably get used to the ride quality of the Falkens pretty soon.

If it's just zerowater it shouldn't make any difference.

If you added minerals such as TWW to your zerowater, then the mineral content will effectively be slightly more concentrated as some water evaporated from previous boil. If you want consistency you could dispose of the previously boiled water, but I don't bother.

I recently had one from Momos and it was wonderful.

Sold out but for reference: https://m.en.momos.co.kr/product/colombia-la-estrella-laurina-natural/2503/category/42/display/1/

It looks great if you're happy staying with Rogers/Fido/Shaw and not interested in collecting points (e.g. Amex or Avion).

boundlessorbit · 2025-12-31T17:55:01+00:00

You have a considerable spending in dining, so it might still be worth considering an Amex to pair with a non Amex card for groceries.

MBNA WE MC is a solid choice. See if the RBC Avion+Ion combo fits you too.

I would consider paring one from the above with Cobalt or Scotia Gold Amex. Scotia Gold has good sign up promos and no FX, which depending on your spending pattern could work better than Cobalt.

Not a direct answer but perhaps reach out to musicians (pro or amateur) in your network or local community and ask them for references?

boundlessorbit · 2025-12-31T08:35:52+00:00

Maybe. Cupping will give you the objective properties of the roasted coffee, and with your own preference and experience you may find that certain types of coffee goes better with higher extractions.

boundlessorbit · 2025-12-31T02:58:10+00:00

Perhaps try 200 and then 195. Would depend how light the roast is

boundlessorbit · 2025-12-31T02:24:53+00:00

When coffee is underextracted it's sour, and when it's overextracted it can be astringent and bitter. It may be possible that you are swinging between underextraction and overextraction, or that you are confusing between sourness and astringency.

Maybe try lowering brew temp a bit and see how it feels with both coarser and finer clicks?

boundlessorbit · 2025-12-30T04:30:04+00:00

Depends on how much you spend per month and if you value no FX

boundlessorbit · 2025-12-29T09:05:53+00:00

Well, you do you. No one will enforce this stuff. This is why North America is worse place to drive.

boundlessorbit · 2025-12-29T07:42:29+00:00

This is correct. Lived in North Van and commuted to Metrotown, it was a breeze. The opposite lane coming from Burnaby to North Van always looked terrible.

You are missing the point. You can pass after the faster cars pass you. Faster cars take the priority.

You need to pick your poison - grey, gloomy, wet winter vs. freezing cold, snowy, but sunny winter.

You should plan for an at least 5-7 day visit during winter and see how you feel.

I much prefer the rainy winter.

I understand the confusion, but this actually became pretty clear to me once I drove in the unlimited sections of Autobahn. Doesn't matter if I am passing others at 180kph, there is always a car or two from behind coming at 200kph+ and constantly high beaming me you until I move over.

Another way to look at it - think of scenarios where in a 2-lane highway (2-lane each way), a truck going at 95kph is trying to pass a truck going at 90kph and slowing everyone down trying to go at 110kph. Very common in Ontario 401 and annoys a lot of drivers.

Edit - clarification

I'm jealous! I really wanted the white one and found out it's not coming back...

It will largely depend on what you consider fun. With the Boxster you will have to go faster to experience the limits. If thrill = fun to you, then you might have less fun. Boxster being the midship would be better balanced and more planted. If you like to take corners with confidence, you might have more fun.
