The 24H2 update would not install on a brand new prebuilt PC that I bought for my parents. I contacted both the manufacturer and Microsoft and spent too many hours troubleshooting before I gave up and returned it to where I bought it as defective. Back to the drawing board for a replacement PC for my parents.

Oh my, I can feel the regret in the damp kitten!

I think you are making the right decision for you. I have watched a lot of people struggle after having children they did not plan for. If you know you are not and likely will never be interested in having children, getting a vasectomy is right for you.

That being said, if things change down the road, you can always foster, adopt, or attempt to have the vasectomy reversed – the last option is not guaranteed though.

Sounds like someone is upset that they cannot appease their shareholders by selling uninteresting video games riddled with microtransactions and cash grabs. I think that its time their leadership revisit the Agile Manifesto.

Fun fact: 20% down payment on $435,000 is $87,000 – that doesn’t include closing costs minimum monthly payments with a 30-year fixed mortgage at an interest rate of 6.889% would come in at $2,668 (this escrows taxes and home insurance). Just for fun, I’ll share that in 2012 my partner and I bought our first home (1,800 square feet attached 2-car garage in the Midwest with typical appearance for a starter home) for $146,500 and 20% down payment was $29,000 - we put down $48,000 since we had it – now you need nearly 3 times the amount to avoid Private Mortgage Insurance. Our minimum monthly payment was $1,032 on a 15-year fixed mortgage at 3.5% interest. The bar is just way to high for most people to even consider buying at this point. When we sold our first home in 2021, we sold it to a person who was planning to live their themself – no rental companies was our stipulation.

Totally not weird at all right? LOL.

WOW. Ozzy is a Rock legend. The world will not be the same without him. People can say what they want about him, but he was an artist. He and Black Sabbath were the epitome of Rock & Roll.
