I don’t disagree, but I don’t use it either.

Can I ask why people still use dedicated email software? I’m sure there’s a reason. Maybe just familiarity, but I’ve never once opened my email inbox from anything other than a browser. It seems like a royal PITA.

Same. I actually built my first computer a year before prices went super saiyan but it sounds like you got an even better deal. My system is:

• Intel 14100 - $98
• 2×16 DDR4 Corsair 3200 - $57
• Asrock B660 - $98
• Corsair 80+ bronze PSU - $70
• 500GB Crucial SSD - $37
• Seagate 28TB HHD - $368

So $728 plus a cheapo case. Today it would be $1171 just casually picking the same parts from eBay, Amazon, and Newegg. That’s a 160% jump.

OP just posting to show off their 64gigs of RAM, 1TB boot SSD, and 26TB of platter storage.

I’d bet my life savings you don’t actually feel this strongly about honey bees. And secondly, honey bees don’t need “invasive agriculture” to survive or produce honey. They produce honey just fine from natural wildflowers and wildflowers benefit all the same from pollination.

Your job sounds really cool! How likely is Alberta to be on fire again this year?

That’s what’s crazy to me, they survived the dot com crash and were so diversified that I have no idea how they stayed afloat. I would think that all of the combined expenses across all of their ventures without a true cash cow would sink them. Instead they survived and became the trash heap of consumer rights violations that they are.

You can’t really compare online book retailer Amazon to global online marketplace Amazon. Your underlying point is still mostly correct, but I would exclude the years that they were primarily focused on books. From my lived memory they didn’t really become the online retail juggernaut until a few years after the launch of Prime. Free shipping turned them into what it is today. So maybe the best comparison would be from like 2006-2016? Or maybe I’m wrong and the distinction isn’t necessary. Idk. I’m just trying to foster conversation
