Financially stupid? I guess, but that applies to almost all collectibles. So does paying to go out for a meal when it’s cheaper to cook at home, but people still do it because they enjoy it.

Not really. Adobe creative cloud is used my almost all graphic/media professionals, yet doesn’t work on Linux… that’s not very niche

As much as everyone pushes Linux, it’s not a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios

That will eventually happen to affinity I’m sure, but at least affinity is ~5% the price a perpetual CS6 license was.

What would be the terminal velocity of the poop sliding down a zip line? I can just imagine it hitting a wall at the end and exploding 😅

Run 2 miles/day to receive a bonus of 130% my salary? That seems insanely good value and this is coming from someone who has run about a total of 2 miles since I left school.

Get the train to work and park just over a mile away, run to catch the train and go to work. After work run back to your car. Instant 130% salary increase
