  • Mountain house with a hot tub. Hands down. Assuming I am the one purchasing the property with my own money, of course.

    • Beach House: The beach gets boring after a while. Beachfront property cost 2-3 times more than comparable property.

    • House with a pool: Pools get crazy boring after a while. It’s just a hole in the ground with water in it. A house with a pool is cheaper than a beach house so assuming you have the same amount of money you get way more house for the same money. Better than a beach house, but a pool, specifically an in-ground pool is a permanent commitment. I have a pool. Nobody uses it. I just maintain it.

    • Mountain house with a hot tub: Have you been to the mountains? Holy crap. It’s BEAUTIFUL. Also, just like the house with a pool, you can afford waaay more house than some dinky beachfront house for the same money. Also, when you get bored with the hot tub, just tear it out and put in a nice fire pit.


  • Google Assistant on Android and Home devices gets markedly worse as time goes on. My Google Home can barely even figure out how to turn on lights anymore. Things that used to be amazing have devolved into “I don’t understand”.

    It’s really quite shocking and hurts a little bit because it feels like everything in the world is degrading and decomposing like in some dystopian novel or something.

    How can such amazing technology get worse? Is it really just “we can’t make money off this”?
