So I got into a funny argument with a gen z-er over the weekend (shoved into us at bar, minor thing) and was struck by the argument method he used - a methodology I see *all* the time on talking head new shows and the like: ignoring the fact that he should just say excuse me and instead...

true, but with the rust my mechanic bitched about stripped bolts etc for simple brakes and maintenance. And ok I’m a sales guy, the tax benefits of donating (new plan, cousin suggested) and having a goal in my head for something humble but a little more city friendly like a civic after say 2...

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm keeping the old horse because I simply can't replace it for less than $5k looking at ads. I'm actually really enjoying the ghetto body work - bond-o bumper repairs look great and white isn't all that difficult to paint match for "good enough" - so it's looking...

Sorry, I should have clarified: - The "annoying" repairs are strictly of the wear and tear and yes annoying variety - rear hatched failed, rotors were on their last leg, the tires will need to go before winter. The positive part is that the parts are mad cheap - rear hatch? $25 and 1 hour of...

I have a 2008 Saturn vue hybrid (exactly the same car as a chevy Captiva sport) that I actually do like quite a bit. It's served me honorable and still works, but now the problems are creeping up, and my wife's new gig deserves a new ride (I mean, it's a little embarrassing to be driving an...

Thanks for the feedback! Wondering if the 50% increase in performance is worth the screen real estate loss

I know I posted about this before but price drops make a difference. For not taking/daily schedule planning would you go with the larger prior generation iPad or the smaller 2021 iPad 11? With a max budget of $800 the 2020 is now in my range ($650s refurbs)

Thank you! This is so useful, will be purchasing the app stat. I've been struggling so hard trying to find out a system that works. My brain is literally broken - say I'm working on an apartment renovation plan, I'll simultaneously get really inspired on a completely unrelated project, like...

I'll confess to having a broken brain - I lose paper notebooks all the time and when I'm a rush I'm completely unorganized (will take notes on one topic on the same page as prior notes about something else). Meaning it's really hard to follow (I do have a diagnosis for my broken brain). I...

Thanks for the suggestions, adding the Paperlike to the cart now. I'm actually thinking of getting a bootleg pencil - $120 seems pretty rich for a stylus (and my daughter's generic works great for her) Yeah, I'm getting tired of my graveyard of tech that I've outgrown, from too many chrome...

*Update*. Decision made, thanks guys for making me spend way more than my budget! Pre-order is in for a 11 in 2021 iPad Pro! Figured the $250 different between the Air and the pro would be worth it vs buyers remorse whenever Pro reviews hit the web... Thanks whomever made the point that...

Yep, the only decision is get an iPad Air now or wait until the 2020 Pros go down in price

I'll "root" it tonight for shits and giggles. At least the kids can use it (free time is pretty great as far as flat fee apps go)

shit, if I wait a few weeks anyways I can edge into Father’s Day and convince the wife to chip in for an M1… this conversation is getting expensive… the iMacs are quite appealing, the mini might win because I already have a nice lcd mounted at my desk… it’s really incredible that a $700 system...
