I could not agree more. The dream of home ownership is way over sold. I truly don't see the point. The roof, the furnace, plumbing, appliances. Renting is so much less stressful.
Who sold home ownership? Banks. They're the ones making money off it.
Don't want to brag but that's the price (conversion included) I've been paying in Canada for months. No limits.

Soudas says all kinds of BS. Tried to claim Harper didn't run deficits on Xitter the other say. Truly delusional.

24.12.2024 23:58 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Coding is just the tool you use to implement a solution. As I said, I think we are approaching this with different definitions. And frankly the code I've seen AI put together is far more complex than a couple of code snippets.
