  3. Still in the big smoke and there are lots of cars we don't see out home for obvious reasons.

    I think this is the Vanquish. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Look at the size of those callipers.

  5. Are YOU a LOTR Superfan, and love jewellery, AND happen to have COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF SPARE CASH ? ... Woo boy is this the Master Craft collection for you !

    TLDR items range from $ 14 -30 K U.S. Dollars. *

    [*Please Note. I am NOT saying the prices aren't a fair representation of the uniqueness and craft involved in making the Thing, just bemoaning fact that owning nice bespoke Things is ~Ridiculously Expensive~ ]

  6. The #Steam Machine #Costs $1049, Is That Too Much?

    source: ign.com/articles/steam-machine…

    That $1049 is just the starting price, getting you just the 512GB version of the mini gaming PC without the Steam Controller.

    512GB SSD so I can install only on #game and and can't play it without #controller 🙁

    #Valve is also selling a 2TB model, which will set you back $1349 for just the #SteamMachine, or $1428 bundled with the #SteamController.

    That's quite a lot of #money. #Gaming is becoming a #luxury.

  7. The election changes #Trump is seeking could be enormously #expensive for #states. For instance, the nationwide cost of upgrading #election equipment to align with voluntary voting standards has been estimated at $2.7 billion.

    In #Georgia, where the state legislature has also passed a #law to require hand-marked paper ballots, Republican Secy of State Raffensperger has estimated it will cost $66 million.

  9. @reporterchris Another way regular people are getting priced out of #hockey in #Canada. Hockey is fading in Canada because it is too expensive to participate in and now it is going to be too #expensive to watch.

  10. #Spacedatacentres are currently more #expensive than terrestrial ones due to high launch costs and shorter lifespans. However, as #AI demand grows and chip production increases, space datacentres could become viable by the early 2030s. The Total Cost of Ownership (#TCO) framework shows that space datacentres could achieve cost parity with terrestrial ones by 2040. newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/ #tech #media #news

  13. Boy, its been expensive lately, some fun, some necessary, some annoyingly necessary.

    $5K for a skid steer as I mentioned a bit a go, I'm too fat an old to go doing necessary landscaping in the back and desired in the front, plus I should be able to make back at least half the price at the end, which is far cheaper than rental
    Tax preparation at $3XX, don't remember the exact amount
    Then there was the boots I needed last week, since the ones I was wearing disintegrated, $90 there
    A new phone, I'd mentioned in March that I needed one, but dragged my heels, but finally bought a replacement, surprisingly enough a 2026 model of the phone thanks to a mistake(?) by Motorola, as I mentioned in yesterday's video
    And the water heater yesterday, $4K
    And the furnace and AC next Monday, $11K, though that's financed

    Ouch?
    I suppose some of that might be tax write-offs, have to check with my preparer

  15. IMPORTANT UPDATE (/s)

    That Camelopardalis champagne glass from this week's episode that isn't to my tastes (tho I do like that rainbow effect)?

    Well, you can now get it for ~$325/glass (up from a *paltry* ~$250)!

    But remember — champagne not included..

We witness the possibility of an era’s conclusion, observing the launch of massive, #expensive rockets — a spectacle that may be replaced by more economically #efficient alternatives in the aerospace industry everydayastronaut.com/how-does
