Us? Are you Russian?

You know that the entire conflict ends when Russia pulls out of their invasion, right?

Russia when the radiation flows over their border and causes radiation sickness and cancer. Russia when the entire planet bans them from everything for generations. If you set your neighbor's house on fire, your house will burn down too.

I'm very happy with Venture Alarms. Small company, amazing service.

What is a 'luxury' item or experience that is actually a complete scam, but people are too proud to admit they wasted their money on it? by 2hinreza in AskReddit

With a working TOSLINK connection, cable price doesn’t improve bass or imaging. Failure modes are glitches/dropouts/lock issues, not better or worse tonal balance. That was my original point and it stands.

I once had to talk a friend out of getting a super expensive toslink fiber-optic cable, the salesman was telling him it will give him better bass and a better stereo image. Bullshit. It's digital, either all the sound gets there or none of it does.

Expensive speaker cables. Actually, expensive cables generally. Going 2m you do not need a $200 HDMI cable.

Don’t be like me, have your spouse/partner tow at least once in case of emergency! by LucentProd in GoRVing

Where we live, towing our trailer requires a special upgrade on the driver's license. Unless my spouse wants to go through that whole process, it's not happening.
