I wanted to do like an end/quality-of-life upgrade for my Intel 11th gen rig because I'll never afford to do a full conversion to 14th gen with the prices that they are, RAM especially. So my wish was to find a D4 board that supports 12,13,14 gen chips where all I have to do is swap processors out, but they basically don't exist anymore. All I can find are 12 gen only d4 boards for 3x the price and it's just simply not worth it to me. What's the play here? Hold on to my current setup and deal with it? Save up to do a full internal swap? I don't think prices will ever return to what they were...

At the supermarket looking at pre cooked chicken breast to eat after the gym before work

"With 20% soy protein isolate"

That's weird. I thought chicken was literally made of protein? What's wrong with the chicken? Why SOY?

Noticing everything has added protein now. Protein cereal, protein bread, protein milk, protein this protein that "now with added protein"

Bro. What the fuck is wrong with the meat supply that everything has to have added protein? It can't just be a marketing trend. There's something deeply wrong with our food supply and I can't be the only one imagining it.

With the oil crisis and fertilizer shortage, I think we are headed towards a global famine and it's much sooner than we think.

Hey everyone. M33, Canada. After 8 years of living paycheck to paycheck, or on credit, a divorce, and two years of unemployment, I've finally started rebuilding my finances (relatively speaking) to where I have 10k in my chequing account. I'm in the process of entering a consumer proposal which will eliminate a large portion of my 40k debt and reduce my payments to 250/mo for the next 5 years. Other than budgeting for the obvious like bills, what should I be doing with that money, if anything at all, in order to maximize my options for financial stability? Should I be building my credit back with a secured cc or will I end up digging myself another debt hole again? Should I be investing? In what? I'm clearly not very responsible with money but I'd like to start trying now that I have some money back again. Any advice is welcome. Thank you.
