I've seen this movie.

AT&T 1 gig at our main house for $90/mo. Includes HBOgo or max or whatever it is these days.
Ben Lomand 1 gig fiber at our river house for $58/mo, but it's a subsidized non-profit co-op, vs AT&T in the city. Specific to a small area of Tennessee.

Neither have had any issues outside of things not in their control.

I have comcast dedicated business fiber at my business. It's been fine once they finally got it installed. Only took them 18 months to get it up and going :rolleyes:

But what kind of challenges are they fearing that legitimately would make saving money now unwise?

---

I could make a very long list of challenges we are going to face within the next 30 years that did not exist 30 years ago. I won't because some of those challenges may be perceived as political, and I hate politicization of the money board topics. Suffice to say, humanity, in my opinion, is about to confront some of our toughest challenges yet. If one suspects that failure to confront and defeat these issues is possible or likely, then one might be more inclined to use their money now while it has value to them and others instead of later when it may not matter if you have one or two commas in your savings.

Do I think most people think about it in those terms? No, I don't think you average person ringing up debt on a new side-by-side for neighborhood cruising is thinking that deeply about the subject, but I do think they feel something is amiss. We could talk ourselves into a loop on whether that vibe is self-fulfilling or not.

This is how I've tried to learn it recently.

I run a factory. We have a software that powers our factory, and scanners within the factory tell me what order is where. I run a report several times a day to track production. I've never liked the report. It's a data dump and formatting is hamstrung by the software that gives it to me. I have to do a lot of sorting and manual calculations to get the info I want out of it.

So, I set Claude on it. It took me half a day of going back and forth with Claude to get things right, but man, now that it's working, what used to take me 15-20 minutes now takes me five seconds, and I was doing that multiple times a day.

In addition, Claude learned about my factory and processes along the way. Without prompting, it started doing additional analysis on the reports and comparing them every time I run it to raise some good questions.

All that to say, I agree with you. Find a problem unique to you, and jump in. I simply talked (typed, actually) to it like it was a person, and we went back and forth to get it right.

I look at Max and I think, "This is the only guy currently racing who is capable of achieving a triple crown," and I so desperately want to see someone do it. If that interests him, he's going to have to give up F1 fairly soon.

I know he's said ovals aren't his thing, but if wins at Le Mans in the next 5-7 years, I bet you see his tone change real quick :lol:

That brings up another point regarding the triple crown. If he races and wins at Le mans in a GT, are we going to count it towards a triple crown? There's no strict definition of it, but I willing to count it with an asterisks.

Not a doubt in my mind that someone will die on this thing!

Maybe if someone gets on there with pre-existing conditions and ignores all the warnings. US coasters seriously injure 1 of out 15 million riders. Fatalities are in the range of 1 per 750 million riders. Both of those statistics include people with pre-existing conditions and riders being idiots and ignoring/skirting safety checks.
