Just think when we were young...you'd buy at least a CD a month for anywhere between $12 - $20 in, like, 1999 dollars. Well, there are four of us on this plan and we'd each be buying a CD a month, so just for the music alone it's a bargain. I watch a lot more YouTube than regular TV, so the ad-free experience on that is a total bonus.
I used a VPN and have YouTube Premium India family package and it is just over £2 pm (~$3.40)

This clip reminds me of an old farmer who used to be a partner at work with me. He was an awesome guy but he grew up kind of in a sheltered life and I am guessing missed lots of social clues. I'm assuming he was out of his element socializing with the "city folk" as he always called them.

Anyways he got invited to a party. And he probably missed every signal that this was a swinging party. Keep in mind this is the last person on earth to ever go to a swinger party, imagine Hank Hill but even more. So he brings his wife to the party and that fishbowl thing where everyone just put the keys in the bowl was finally the clue that him and his wife figured out it was a swinging party.

Quick interview is a good sign, I bet you get another one elsewhere fairly fast.
Mostly agree on the red flag thing and it’s unprofessional IMO but sadly the last 7’ish years it seems to be almost standard. Manners are so passé apparently.

As a former Galaxy / Note / Nexus user - it's safe to say that Android is good, but Samsung is not. It'll be great for the 1st two years, but towards the end of that, the unique spin that Samsung insists on (i.e. irregular screen sizes) will put it into a death spiral. (Kind of like anything Korean it's a short term longevity thing, but that's another GG)

Corporate forced me onto iOS, and I've been there for the last 4 years - currently a 13 Pro Max. I'm no fanboi - iOS has it's warts, and I look jealously at Android for some of the innovative things they have (i.e. Hold for Me). I do appreciate that iOS apps generally work better given the smaller number of phones developers can test against.

The haka before an All Blacks game is probably one of the coolest things in world sports.

I always found the Haka at Jonah Lomu's funeral very special.

Yeah I'm with you. It's neat and all but the way it gets talked about makes it sound way cooler than it is

Agreed. I think it's cringeworthy.

It’s fine, you guys are just objectively wrong. The haka is incredible and there’s nothing like it. A stadium with 75,000 fans dead quiet before an enormous game is just plain magnificent.

Kijiji is such a gear grinder. I have a set of 20" Pirelli P Zero Telsa spec tires I took off my Model 3 Performance with about 2k km's and I'm only asking $750 for the set but I'm getting spammed with the exact same offer of $600 from several different people like they are all working together. You wonder if maybe you are missing the market as a seller but considering a single one of these tires new is over $500 I feel I'm asking a fair price.

Some people on Kijiji have no shame. I have something listed right now, brand new in box at 50% of the retail price. I figure that's fair, it's brand new and never opened, save tax and get it at half price. Nope, 3 messages in and they ask for a lower price.

Said every Kijiji seller, ever.

I'd probably pay $150 to not have a stack tires taking up space and cluttering my garage, so there's that way to look at it too...

I mean, no dog in this fight but I have a few questions for consideration.

1) how many Tesla owners do you think check kijiji for lightly used tires when they need a new set?

2) for whatever you replaced them with did you buy those tires new or used?

3) if you were under the market price wouldn't it make sense that they'd have sold already?

The new price has little to do with the used price for many items - it's just supply and demand for used items.

I kinda like how kijiji is the wild wild west.

It reminds me of the old days of the internet.

Remember the days when you'd have to buy a book that listed people's old crap?

We were one bad day away from caving each other's heads in with rocks.
