Apparently people didn't get the notice. Mortgage interest rates are still >5% for anyone renewing now. Three new houses are being built right now in the street behind mine.

Weird how our neighbourhood didn't see any new buildings from 2016-2022 but now it rains, it pours.

Exactly the same here, we were renting up until 2018 at 900$CAD/month. Our mortgage is 950$CAD/month and our old apartment is now 1200$CAD/month. All expenses included, it's s more expensive to rent than to own.

First time buyers can't hardly get a mortgage now unless you were stashing cash or staying at your parents' for a while.

Not surprised in the slightest. Anything to draw more money from us.

I don't drink nor I condone taxing people who drink but most Brunswickers already have trouble making it to the end of the month. Good luck next elections, Higgs.

Not surprised in the slightest.

Everything that isn't in line with Putin's point of view is at risk of being classified as terrorist or extremist, as simple as that.

French, old millenial. Plenty of Jean-"X". What I mean is :

Jean-François Jean-Michel Jean-Luc Jean-Mathieu Jean-Marc ...

Gosh, I hope so.

59,5M$ for all this mess, saying they failed to manage the app is the least insulting thing they could've said.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have done a better job.

Don't forget gutting the French immersion programs as well.

And it's pocket change for Google, to be honest.

It's never too late to learn a language. However, French is one hell of a step coming from English.

French is my main language and even if I've been speaking it for close to 40 years now, I still learn language exceptions and rules today.

Still, I'd give it a go if I were you, learning something new is always fun. Enjoy!

First, you want to play on high/60fps but at what resolution? Paying over 1700$CAD for a RTX4090 GPU seems overkill while a RX6800 or a RX7700/7800 would let you play at 1080p/1440p at high settings at a fraction of the price.

SSD is fine.

PSU could be reduced to 850W.

64GB RAM is overkill for gaming right now but potentially useful in the upcoming years.

Bottom line, you could save here and there and still have a capable AM5 machine.

If you want value for your buck, build yourself an AM4 machine. Yes, AM5 is out now but your rig could still last you many many years with the right AM4 components.

From their perspective, there must be a lengthier, more expensive solution that'll still give money to lobbyists and corporations.

Simple solutions just don't work.

Germany's Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, had a jogging incident and is wearing an eye patch to cover the bruises. The picture just screams "use me for good memes".
