No, not at all! Just wanted to clarify if I was misunderstanding.

It would matter more for your ability to fall asleep at night if your bedroom faces West. Do you mean it affects your ability to sleep in late?

I have not forgotten. I mentioned it was the family’s ability to use that money, not the individual! You are right that it doesn’t change the conclusion though.

Yeah good shout. I gave up after I realized. Thanks!

His investments and stocks do provide income (although not a salary). Regardless, my earlier statement still stands.

That’s all well and makes sense to me, but the person I was questioning stated that $350k+/year is not rich. All of those boxes you mentioned could be ticked way lower than that, and this is nearly 10x the median salary of the UK. That roughly means this family has the ability to spend 8x the median individual and still save/invest 2x their salary per year.

What does this mean? By this metric, the wealthiest person in the world is not considered rich. Elon Musk both works and has an income.

By what metric? Where would you define rich?

Windows 10 was actually fine for me, it was the jump to 11 that broke it. Audio jack headphones, then Bluetooth, and still nothing.

What is that?

Yeah when it updated to Windows 11 I also started noticing the news/ads on boot and in the start menu which were obnoxious. Another benefit to switch I suppose. And thank you! If I run into issues I’m sure I’ll be taking you up on that offer.

I built my desktop specifically to be pretty robust and future proof it for a few years: RYZEN 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070TI super, B650 Gaming Motherboard, and 64GB DDR5 RAM. It wasn’t having any issues playing games on windows until windows just started messing with the system unfortunately.

I’ll be honest, they’ve shot themselves in the foot. I’m a normal user, so as long as my things that I’ve setup just work there’s no reason for me to change. As soon as they screwed it up I’m ready to jump to the next thing to make sure it just works. I forgot to mention that I did not try reinstalling Windows 10 because the auto rollback feature said it was no longer available for me (I think it expires after a week or so, and I was troubleshooting after work for longer than that time to try to get it functional again.) so multiple chances for Microsoft to keep me in their services but just couldn’t make it easy.

Wow what wonderfully ignorant advice. “If you don’t have enough money, consider having more.” The majority (not just “a lot of people”, but literally more than 50%) of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

It’s pretty good! The music choices are great, and overall it’s just a fun watch.

It’s from the series “The Umbrella Academy”.

You know that’s right.

American raised in the Southeast checking in: put tea bags in kettle of water on stove, heat until the kettle whistles, pour into 1 gallon container with sugar, mix while still hot, and finally place in refrigerator for storage.

When its 78 in February and won’t cool down until November, having a nice, cold glass of sweet tea is lovely.
