I've been offered 6 free months of perplexity, and managed to get 1 free year of Gemini with my university email.

I would HATE to see the CAC for some of these products

The situation I describe isn't about being frugal or cooking at home. I was with friends, and it just wasn't the right time to opine about how I could have saved money. If I was doing it regularly, that would have been different -- it would have been prudent.

At the time, it was cheap fo me

There are a few times in my life where I remember being cheap (e.g. opining that a bar was expensive because nachos were $24 and I could make an entire tray for less. I even called this index my "Nacho Prince Index" -- it is literally how I kept track if inflation)

Fuck that guy

I've been wanting to write a blog post about money (esp. how my perspective on money has changed going from a normal working professional, to poor grad student, to well paid engineer in tech).

Would that be...interesting? Useful? The post is really for the person I was right out of my PhD

Man, the rail transit in Ontario is just garbage outside the GTA. 3.5 hours for a trip that would take me 2 by car?

Why even bother with the rail

Wearing a jays cap feels like Kriah. People literally saying β€œsorry for your loss”

More bearable*.

The loss could not be any more terrible.

Morning after and I don’t regret being here. If anything, made the loss more terrible. The community shared the load

Resale, so I paid a pretty penny.

But I can’t take it with me, so might as well spend it every once in a while.
