AC

Find your top 3 coolant AC providers. When they start missing expectations or barely beating them, your bubble is popped. Until then. Pure vibes from me.

Bcider

I'm handcuffed to my house. Deck is falling apart, AC units are 25 years old. Got quoted absurd prices to replace so fuck it. 40k for two 3 ton AC units and furnace. Equipment prices for them are 10k at most. They'd be a full replacement, my house is already ducted to 2 older furnace/ac units. I'm supposed to pay 30k for 2 days worth of labor? Get the fuck out out here.

RogerDCuck

It didn't flop, no AC game can flop lol and I am part of people who hate modern AC more than anyone else.  Even Syndicate the least Successful AC game, the game that made Ubisoft change the whole series sold like 5.5 Million and I dont think AC Shadows was as disastrous as Syndicate. 

Moise_makes_me_moist

I don't want to give Elon any ideas but Did you know Thomas Edison (father of DC power and often called a charlatan) once got a death sentence changed to use Nicolas Teslas AC power to electrocute someone to show the dangers of AC and how it can kill you.

ButterscotchFeeling9

The last good Ubisoft game was AC: Black Flag

mardex_5

No, that claim isn’t true. Before Musk joined, Tesla already had founders (Eberhard and Tarpenning), a real business plan, technical direction, AC Propulsion drivetrain agreements and early engineering work based on the tzero concept. Musk didn’t create Tesla from a spreadsheet, he became the main investor who accelerated and scaled an already existing startup. First investigate and check your statements before writing...

No-Necessary-9026

J1772 is only single phase AC. As the MW goes up (DC fast charging) it’s either CCS or Tesla NACS. So far most brands are opting towards Tesla- Hyundai, Mercedez, Rivian, Kia. On top of the fact that Tesla still owns most superchargers for all those that use an adapter.

Crackastackaa

As a black jack dealer in AC my advice would be: always chase your losses. Hit up the ATM. The next shoe will be better....or it won't. Dont forget to tip your dealer!

varnums1666

I give AC shit for its gameplay but the open world studio can indeed make a pretty and detailed open world.

ThatOneGuy012345678

In the Northwest US, much of the generation is hydro electric facilities along the Columbia river, and for the most part is in the middle of nowhere. This means that where the people live and where the power is generated are nowhere near each other. There's a 1000 mile high voltage DC link (Pacific DC Intertie) from Celilo, Oregon (far north east) to Sylmar, California (near Los Angeles-ish). Losses on that line are only 2% or so, and you can move 3000+MW. I believe China has similar issues with their hydro facilities. Ultimately you can't really pick and choose where your hydro facilities are (can't really move a river, and the ideal hydro facility locations are wherever they happen to be), and if there's no people living nearby then that's that. With other power plants like nuclear and gas, you have much more flexibility, so they tend to be located closer to population centers. The eastern US and much of Europe is set up with power being generated closer to loads (in general). Moving power long distances is no problem. Sure, it takes transmission lines and sure, it costs money to build and operate those lines, but it's not as big of a deal as people think. 'A big deal' in the power industry is not the same thing as 'a big deal' in the general economy. Building a bunch of transmission lines will be 'huge' in the power industry, but is rounding error compared to the $30T US economy, or AI spend, or any number of other things. There's High Voltage AC links all over the place too. 300 mile lines for AC are very common. I'm not too knowledgeable about the European system, but I can almost guarantee that the difficulty and cost of building lines has a lot more to do with people problems than with engineering. China has shown that lines can be built very fast, and very cheap, if you steamroll over the people in the way. They've built an insane amount of generation and transmission in the last 30 years, and that level of building is probably orders of magnitude more than was built in the US during that timeframe.

But solar panels also peak at approximately the same time as AC?

TheHammer987

EVs are a bullshit problem. They charge at night. When the grid is at its lowest. In Texas, there are financial incentives to run your dryer in the evening because there is so much more power available. Guess when electric cars do the bulk of their charging. And guess how much power they use? Oh look! It's a 240 outlet, the same as a dryer. Many electric cars can use the 110 outlet instead, but literally no one ever says our grid can't handle people getting window mounted AC units. This is *anti ev propaganda* , it has no basis in reality.

buttplugs4life4me

It's so sad cause I loved Far Cry 3 and AC 4/5. FC3 was literally why I bought an AMD GPU back then to use Mantle with it lol Such a downfall. I hope someone picks up the pieces and makes proper games again.  It felt like they tried to switch to a FIFA/sports game release cycle with a new version every year with some minor updates and new characters and that's just not the right type of game for that...

extremelyannoyedguy

DC HV power distribution is already cheaper for longer distances and becoming more economical for shorter distances. AC is no longer a requirement.

shizuo-kun111

As much as I did enjoy AC Shadows (although it was flawed), even Tsushima was leagues better than it. Shadows only has it beat on its open world.

adrr

240V 50 amp circuit, same as my AC.

ChaseballBat

I bought a house in August. I've had my house on the market since late August/Early Sept. Zero offers. It's priced 130k under its value in 2022. Initially priced at 80k under and 50k worth of price drops. Nothing. Earlier this year same exact townhome sold for 775 without AC. I will end up paying 40k and have zero equity if we close after this last price drop. It is 100% all this administration's fault.

Coccolillo

Since the Covid it has been a zombie corp, and the woke path that they chose ultimately killed the last brand that was carry on the financials (AC). Most likely, given that they are French, the government will chip in for supporting them, but I see literally no-one interest in buying them without the French government concessions for massive layoffs…..

AJRNR

They really blew it with Dragon Age: Veilguard and doubled down with AC: Shadows. Both had huge upside potential.

After TheCrew drama and new AC games

ThatOneGuy012345678

Sure, when electricity was invented, it wasn't used for much other than lighting. Then came the washing machine. Then came dryers, refrigerators, etc... then stoves, then came AC, computers, then EVs, etc... There has been a gradual transition to electric for everything because it's the most efficient form of energy use (generally speaking). At this point, natural gas is used for heating only because burning gas at a power plant, and shipping electric to you doesn't make economic sense. But replace that natural gas generation with renewables and it can make economic sense if renewables are cheap enough. Induction stoves are also an improvement over natural gas and are slowly starting to take over. They're not like crap electric stoves of the past. 30% of energy is not lost from generation to home, not sure where you're getting that from. Typically 2-3% is lost over long distance transmission and about 10% is lost in distribution. If you really want to split hairs, a lot of fossil fuels are 'lost' too (flaring at oil pumps, leakage out of fracking sites, etc...). If you're going to count one you have to count the other. There's a lot of 'losses' in fossil fuels too. The lowest 'loss' fossil fuel is coal because very little of it is lost as it's a mineral and doesn't release gas as a byproduct of mining it like natural gas/oil.

LinxESP

No idea on their economics, but from the dev and consumer side: - The crew franchise being inferior to a direct competitor + stopkillinggames - Their suscriptions being inferior to game pass and ea - The division 3rd game (and the phone one?) got shafted - Talking about tom clancy's, no idea about ghost recon, siege probably doing ok - Was it the splatoon copy theirs? And that rollerblade? And some other - How the fuck did they got away with trackmania as a suscription? - Nadeo and red lynx (trackmania and trials) not incorporated like those studios who became "Ubisoft cityname" - AC, Far Cry probably carrying financials, R6S esports side maaaaybeeee? - Idk about that avatar game which being a 4A game feels like I should - Tried to join a lot of tooling towards the snowball engine or whatever is called because currently they are 4(?) actives engines. Studios didn't like it. - Rayman, rabbids, HoM&M stalled. It seems a *bit* too big to work properly but I don't shit, too busy playing wii shovelware to make profit as a multinational

I bet Trump has something in mind big for westinghouse he keeps talking about them to foreigners. I was thinking it was something nuclear but maybe its more something battery or even better high-voltage DC current transmission lines like China has got. The 'issue' with solar is that you have to 'get the energy to where you want it' since it uses real-estate far away from where the electricity is needed, mainly (obviously some fits inside cities, just not as much as square acres in the country). One solution is water electrolysis on site such that you have Hydrogen (H2), Oxygen (O2), Water, and Electricity all as possible 'products' such that you can distribute the 'load' (the yield, more like) of the incoming electricity in diverse ways such that the distance-to-consumer problem is less egregious. The other problem, is, yea, doing AC is obnoxious it takes a lot of equipment but it's 'necessary' for any-sort of long range transmission -- but that is kind of an anachronism; China has thousands of miles of HVDC that pumps serious juice straight from direct current sources to direct current consumers.

Glock7enteen

I’ll never forget when I first started in 2020. Bought an airline company (AC.to) and lost $40 that same day. I nearly cried that night, was depressed all day and thought I was a failure. Now my portfolio jumps +/- 5000 per day just from shares.

SpeakCodeToMe

I agree with this comment and I think you can extrapolate it further into all of the downstream companies that have been buoyed by this. It is affecting every company that has anything to do with data center build out from AC and refrigeration to chips manufacturers. It is affecting the energy market and energy companies. There's a whole batch of companies that have grown up around the idea of providing small modular nuclear reactors largely in an effort to meet the demand from these data centers. It is affecting commodities miners and refiners who are scaling up to provide the rare earths etc for this massive build out. I read an estimate the other day that almost the entirely of GDP growth so far this year can be traced back to AI and data center build out.

raj6126

The plan makes no sense. BTC mining uses open air no air conditioning. Servers need air conditioning. So retro fitting facility with AC will cost an arm and a leg. They should just build new facilities.

Denselense

Yeahhh I had 80k or so in losses (I stopped looking after 60 cause why torture yourself when you’re havin fun.) I got a free weekend in Vegas and a couple weekend rooms in AC. Nothing fancy. So yeah I think the number is over 100 if you wanna just get free shit thrown at ya all the time.

I don’t gamble. That’s a thing??? AC?

Gladiz1972

I can't even remember the last time I was in Vegas 15-20 years ago I used to go a lot back in the 1980s and 90 s stayed at the Mirage mostly .By the way sorry to hear you lost money in these casinos me personally I have been around casinos since 1980 or so in AC at the old Playboy Club Casino I am always looking for an angle to beat these casinos especially with those bubble craps machines

GEN-RL-MiLLz

Your grandpa's a pussy. My dad would blow 100k in a night before he went out of business easy and he wasn't shit. This wasn't even vegas it was AC. Sound like grandpa was a fucking T tottling liar anyway and probably lost his money buying college degrees for everyone but you.

You sound extra retarded. Tariffs aren't going away you dope, even if AC blocks these specific ones.

TheInkDon1

Great question! I posted the below on another sub some weeks ago, and I think it answers your questions nicely. I'm happy to discuss any of it with you. \------------------------------- Early on I think I realized that ["momentum" is a real thing](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0927538X18303998?via%3Dihub#preview-section-references) that could be exploited. That was confirmed for me in 2007 when I bought MCHFX, the Matthews China Fund, simply because it was going up, and *it doubled in 10 months.* After that experience I made a website, MutualFundUpgrading, to talk about MF momentum and how to "upgrade" from poorer-performing funds into better ones. (The site is long since dead.) Then in 2016 SILJ, Junior Silver Miners, *doubled in 4 months*. That's when I got serious about momentum investing. Fidelity Select Funds are Mutual Funds that cover about 35 sectors of the market. For a long time there have been people [momentum-trading them](https://www.google.com/search?q=fidelity+select+momentum+strategy&num=10&sca_esv=5314ac5036c6a181&rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS1137US1137&sxsrf=AE3TifOdnoEiAf0lJqzNkHqUZXjEpNlgcw%3A1761258757914&ei=Ba36aJPFN8jLp84PnOSK2AU&ved=0ahUKEwjT2_2UsLuQAxXI5ckDHRyyAlsQ4dUDCBE&uact=5&oq=fidelity+select+momentum+strategy&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiIWZpZGVsaXR5IHNlbGVjdCBtb21lbnR1bSBzdHJhdGVneTIKEAAYsAMY1gQYRzIKEAAYsAMY1gQYRzIKEAAYsAMY1gQYRzIKEAAYsAMY1gQYRzIKEAAYsAMY1gQYRzIKEAAYsAMY1gQYRzIKEAAYsAMY1gQYRzIKEAAYsAMY1gQYR0jSElDWBliKDHABeAGQAQCYAWKgAcQBqgEBMrgBA8gBAPgBAZgCA6AC0wHCAgcQIxiwAhgnwgIIEAAYogQYiQXCAggQABiABBiiBJgDAOIDBRIBMSBAiAYBkAYIkgcDMS4yoAejDLIHAzAuMrgHzwHCBwMyLTPIBwo&sclient=gws-wiz-serp). I was trying to get the guys at work interested in it, so I paper-traded it in real time, writing my picks on my whiteboard. Over the first **quarter** of 2017 the system returned 14%, vs. the S&P's 3.9%. And the drawdown on February 3rd was just a little worse than SPY's. And only 6 trades over the 3 months. Then I drifted away from that into some other things, but now I'm back and focused: Momentum on ONLY ETFs. And I use LEAPS Calls on those as stock substitutes. Also selling Covered Calls against those.

arbitraryBlue

They forgot to turn on the AC in the Oval Office, that's why that guy went down lol

R12Labs

Well Singapore is extremely rich and I've been told in Asian countries when you're rich, you get driven. All I'm saying is I don't want 80k fucking trucks with nightvision and a heads up display I want a truck with AC, heat, a radio, and roll up windows. I understand the elites want us all in debt but it's insane a car that will rust out in 10 years is the 2nd biggest purchase in your life behind your house. Ten year old cars with 100k miles are now 12 to 15k and it's disgusting.

TexansforJesus

Milan has AC, Inter, and fashion. Miran has…

NotAHost

100%. I agree that more oil reduces energy costs and benefits the economy, but so does more solar lol. Like I’m looking at adding solar to my house just as a redundancy and so I can crank that AC to 62 in the summer lol. Practically free energy is good.

NotAHost

The wildest part is how against solar the US is. Like my god, it offsets high demand from AC during the day, it’s redundant, adds more capabilities, lowers costs. It’s ok to use oil products, but don’t put all your eggs in one basket lol. Australia is floating 3 hours of free energy during peak solar hours. It’s absolutely insane. China also going wild. USA is like… it’s too woke, whatever that means.

OTMallthetime

5 million copies is what I saw as far as numbers go, in 6 months. To quote tech4gamers : "it had a strong start but it is currently their lowest sales in the series across the last 5 entries". Its the first AC game I didn't bother buying/playing in some capacity. The last far cry didn't impress me either, even if I am a big fan of Gus from BB.

CoffeeMaker999

This is a pet peeve of mine. The place we moved into has all kinds of shit painted that isn't supposed to be painted include wall outlets, AC vents and some (but not all) woodwork.

MrBudissy

Did y’all not hear the 37% increase in fraud loss mentioned in the call? $50 million for the quarter. AC is a cancer for this stock and company.

New_Ad_1682

Do you rent or something? I have a lawn guy, a pool guy and a cleaning lady and even I change my own AC filters. 

aaron-roger

not being able to trade in me underpants today cuz they're coming at some point to change the AC filters 😭

MondayNightRare

What they're trading at makes no sense. Between operating well and having awesome patents on AC current solar tech they seem like they should be trading at triple digits, yet they totally crashed from their ATH. Why is the market so bearish on them? Is it all the hate against green energy from the current administration?

jensenskawk

Ceiling fan? Those are AC motor and lasts forever. Just needs a clean and oil in the motor shaft.

Rosebunse

I could afford the furnace but the issue with my AC is that I would have to replace the electrical because the electrical sucks. And really, having fans all over the house wasn't too bad and the electric bill didn't go up by too much

skychief99

80% of home owners cannot afford to replace their furnace or AC without maxing out multiple credit cards if they actually have enough room on them.

LandCruiser76

I'm so sorry friend. If it makes you feel better, I live in a 1k sq ft duplex that I fully renovated and installed new AC, Electrical, Full LED conversion, windows, insulated flooring, and insulated the roof. And that bill was this month, where I ran the AC for like 1 day and the heat for 3. I'm scared for the winter months.

PainUser1490

I cannot even begin to tell you how jealous I am that $200 is a high electric bill for you. Mine nearly hit $600 a month this summer in NJ, and I kept my AC set at 72, which is barely tolerable to me.

BusinessOutside8613

Can’t afford cars? Really dude? You could have gone for so many things but you chose the worst example. Compared to US, the whole Europe has an extensive network of roads and highways. What do you have? Route 66?. Also, Europe has a good network of railway that allows good connections even to the smallest villages. US has like 3? And what is this obsession with AC? Europeans are not going crazy if the indoor temperature is 1 degree higher. The hot weather is to be enjoyed. Most of the office buildings have it anyway. Coming from somebody that lives in a country where you need a pill to sleep and one to wake up, is hilarious.

Successful-Tea-5733

You don't think that Tesla effective creating a mass market EV (something that GM's attempt and failure is what led to the origianl guys starting Tesla), you don't think THAT is a legitimate accomplishment? No he was not the original founder of Tesla; but without him it doesn't even get as far as Delorean, people still only think of Tesla the father of AC electricity. You can dislike Musk as a person, but to discount his business success just makes you look ignorant.

ChaseballBat

That is irrelevant to the comment. However, Identical homes, and I literally mean identical sold 6 months ago for high prices WITHOUT AC and higher interest rates, meaning something has changed since then. The entire point I'm making us... The market is bad, it's a bad sign.

ChaseballBat

I'm not asking you for advice? Lol. I know how the market works. I'm priced like 30k under a 1:1 comp from June and that one didn't even have AC.

Elibroftw

I don't think so. I loved AC, but mirage was such a disappointment in terms of value and how much bigger it could've been that I'm going to scrutinize every single AC game that comes out of Ubisoft.

iyankov96

The lead of Assassin's Creed left the studio and he was replaced by one of the founder's family members that worked on a NFT crypto mobile game. Just when you thought AC hit rock bottom, there are always more surprises.

Chrishall86432

What are you having for breakfast tomorrow? What shampoo are you using and where are you buying it? Do you have plumbing, heat or AC in your home or place of business? Are you paying your Citi CC or utility bills this month? What brand of car do you have? Who’s your mortgage with? Do that. Invest in that. Nobody’s mopping the floor, wiping their ass, or eating breakfast with chips or semiconductors or any of that nonsense. To be fair, invest 10% of your portfolio in a good tech ETF.

California Santa Monica got best whether year round. Very low humidity, they actually build homes without AC units over there. I hate humidity so for me that is a W. Low dew points year round

Dread70

Yes you have. You saying I should have to PAY to go to college but you will gladly send me to the trades for free is treating me disrespectfully. It's belittling me. You are saying I'm not worth college, I need to go toil away at trades. Have you ever worked a manual labor job before? Ever been out in the sun or in a factory with no AC? You ever seen the concrete workers with busted backs or the roofers with bad knees? But hey, you want to send us poors to learn to do it for free! We still gotta pay to get in those easy jobs! I never said you were worthless, don't try to play these games with me. Clearly I value the education you have because I am arguing it should be available to everyone. Though I continue to see it has failed you. Is that nicer? You 100% intend gatekeeping. If you did not you would be on the All Information Is Free train. But you are very clearly not. Some people cannot afford cheap. Free. What are you missing here? Adding money is always a gatekeeping barrier. Always. Free. Education. Stop trying to make this a philosophical debate. Everyone benefits from a more educated population. I'm willing to spend all of my money on free healthcare and free education. I am willing to walk the walk. Stop trying to make this a philosophical debate.

Work_Beissola

AC. Seriously

ILoveKombucha

I appreciate that - thank you for acknowledging it. In all earnestness and in the most good natured way possible, I don't share your pessimistic perspective. Women are crushing it in the USA; better representation than ever in various jobs. Women are outpacing men in education, and getting serious, good paying jobs. Women dominate a number of well paying industries. POC are doing better all the time. There are disparities, but it needs to be said: disparities in and of themselves don't point to discrimination or racism or unfairness (disparities CAN be the result of unfairness, but aren't automatically so). Yes, we have a huge wealth gap in this country, and that is concerning. To me, what is most concerning about it is that it affects people in the way I'm seeing in this thread; it makes people resentful and angry, and that hurts social cohesion and causes political volatility. But I also urge you to zoom out, globally and historically. Things are better than they've been, and honestly getting better all the time in many ways. The poorest US state is richer than most European countries, including UK and France. Food is 3x cheaper than it was 60 years ago. Cars are better designed, last longer, etc. Homes are way bigger. Yeah, one income could afford a house in 1960, but most people don't want to live in that house today (1000 sq ft? 1 bathroom? no AC?). Already noted: you already get free/cheap schooling in the USA. If you are poor, you already get free/cheap healthcare. (Again, my mom got free healthcare up until she switched to medicare... now it's "mostly free." - she was poor enough to qualify). Go on Tik Tok and watch people's EBT hauls. We have so much food in the USA that we have an obesity CRISIS, and the poor people are the most obese of all. Sadly, people act like beans and rice aren't a thing. I'm close to median house income in the USA, and we eat a lot of beans and rice... good, healthy, and cheap as hell. I'm not saying things are perfect, and that there isn't room for improvement. But I'm not convinced our system is so horribly corrupt and evil, either. I get a lot of value out of what the rich have created. I am happy to pay for that value, and it doesn't bother me that Bezos, for example, is a billionaire. I'll offer this concession: the housing crisis DOES bother me, and does worry me. But I put the blame for that on the government, which is operating on behalf of voters who decide via democratic process to make it hard to build enough homes. It's a major problem in the USA, and in many other Western countries. NIMBY votes make it hard to build new housing, and that prices a lot of people out... and that is terribly unfair. The irony is: corporations and rich people would gladly build that housing if we would let them.

PaperHandsTheDip

The only way I can think of to scale this is to hire a bunch of guys to manually input the shit for you. Crowdsource accounts and do arb between different accounts / names. You can obfuscate all your arbs if you have multiple people. Difficulty of figuring it out who is "in the group" and who isn't grows exponentially as people increase linearly due to combinations of accounts you can arb inbetween. For example - a group of 6 people may be enough to run a sophisticated arb operation on. We know bookies blacklist people / talk to each other (just like casinos) -- so you gotta be smart about it. For example - if you have 6 accounts / people, A,B,C,D,E,F. You arb between A (long) and B (short) on two different brokers. You can do the combinations AB AC AD AE AF \-- BC BD BE BF \-- CD CE CF \-- DE DF \-- Never run the arb between two accounts with the same name. This gives you 14 unique ways to run arbs while minimizing risk of getting caught. With 10 people you basically can run hundreds of arbs in different combinations. Obfuscation is one way to remain undetected.

skat_in_the_hat

Houses tie you down, AND you have to pay to fix everything. New AC, New furnace, water heaters, roof, foundation, etc. all end up with expensive problems at some point. With our weather getting more and more unpredictable, why take on that liability? That being said, our home has almost doubled in value in the last 10 years. So as long as we dont get swept away by a hurricane...

salty0waldo

So on a traditional valuation standpoint, it’s expensive from where it currently trades. Totally agree. If the AI momentum looses steam, ETN will most definetly come down with it. Over the past couple months (since last earnings) it has sorta traded sideways but certainly in lag to the AI momentum (that was a AC power joke regarding power factor). VRT is very, very rich at these levels due to its best-in-class cooling technology, but so is GEV. How to put a valuation on CEG, TLN, and VST I have struggled with as well. Sold CEG but still holding VST. TLN never made a ton of sense to me as for one, only a single nuclear site in central PA and they are still working on convert sites of gas.

That's the real reason. He overextended and the casino could never make the amount required per day to stay solvent. Even if it was in Vegas it would have likely been in trouble let alone AC, where profits just die during winter.

YummyBatteries

Graphene Manufacturing Group has a graphene heat dissipation coating called ThermalXR that's just hitting the market. The first customers have been testing for a few years, and GMG is scaling up production. They are selling it to commercial customers for use in heat exchangers (AC units, industrial..many applications). \* As far as for data centers and use on chips, that's something GMG is exploring, and they are early stage for that exact application.

I'm enthusiastic about Graphene Manufacturing Group. They produce graphene from methane using a plasma. Their graphene-aluminum batteries are a few years out, but they have non-dilutive funding from Rio Tinto on that (much more to say about that). Right now, their oil additive for diesel truck fleets is just hitting the market, as is their ThermalXR product, which is a cooling coating for AC units (personal to industrial size), possibly electronics, and many applications. The products have been tested for years, and are JUST NOW about to hit the market. CEO is from Shell, and Bob Galyen, former CTO of battery giant CATL is an advisor.

Also AC manufacturers and energy companies will start to sell home battery packs to offset the peak hours that will be the next trend for a decade. No rebates with current admin lol.

Tenants are a pain in the ass. A huge pain in the ass. Can you imagine if the SP500 called you at 3am to tell you the AC wasn't working. I wouldn't invest in that.

Exactly. That's my point. The "rich person" stuff is just "rarer" or fancier version in the stuff a middle class person has. I actually much other roe to caviar, but it's all fish eggs. Real wealth inequality is when the rich have stuff the middle class can only dream of. - there was a time when only the rich had cell phones - a time when only the rich had computers - a time when only the rich had large screen tvs - a time when only the rich had AC - a time when only the rich had electricity - a time when only the rich could get fresh streaks - a time when only the rich had multiple sets of clothes Now, other than ability to travel, medical care, and legal representation; the rich mostly just have fancier versions of the same stuff as the rest of.

I’m not convinced you’re thinking about this pragmatically. AI is floating the whole economy right now. There is a finite amount of money, and because that money is going to AI CapEx, it’s not going to other industries. The private equity provided by insurance companies will be a problem, the money going to AC provided by cooling and heating companies will be a problem, the power grid, energy industries, every business restructuring around AI: advertising, healthcare, finance, logistics. So much in our financial, labor, and geopolitical landscape has already been tied to AI… When the bubbles pops, it will be substantial. I don’t think the draw down will be to the same degree as the dot com bubble but I think it will be more substantial than minor correction.

First of all, I appreciate your positive outlook. You're definitely right. I believe I can do both however. My work ethic is unmatched. I work for a family business doing labor right now getting OK pay. But I will get a second job soon to work at nights and increase my monthly income to roughly 3200 after rent and all bills are paid. Plus my car is paid off and its a fucking camry the most reliable and cheap gas car and only 90k miles. Objectively Im in a lucky position. However, my work ethic comes from my struggles. I have diagnosed fibromyalgia and mental illneses meaning I deal with a LOT of physical and mental pain and tension simply put. Im either Go go go, or stay in bed all day and not want to live anymore. There is no middleground for me where I could be happy. Truly I agree with you though, health and ability/skills are most important. I've had to give up on health though, through my teen years my family has spent thousands on doctors for me and in my adult years ive spent thousands on myself and gotten nowhere. So I work hard and want to get rich for no good reason whatsoever. But I am learning handyman skills at the job I am doing and working breaking down AC units and becoming above average strong from lifting heavy shit all day and it helps me not focus on my suffering during the day, plus I have some medications that help too. I mean look from my perspective, I can put I wont say the exact amount, but over 10k and less than 50k just as a starting point in that VOO or something and compound atleast 2k monthly. Looking at an investment calculator, its insane how quickly it will grow. And though I wont have much in savings nor be able to own a house, maybe 10 years from now I want to buy a house and have the means to do so, or maybe I just keep holding it and become a multimillionaire in my late 30's or 40's. Im sure this is a flawed outlook, but its the only way I see right now. Without health, your goals tend to me dissatisfying and personally, I don't ever know how long Im going to live. Outside I look healthy and peoplr don't see it because Im young, but I have almost died from health complications in the past and I just never know when my time will come. I figure if I can't enjoy life that much, I might as well try to get rich, even knowing it wont make me happy.

Yea but none of those are companies are named after famed inventor Nikola Tesla, who was a famous inventor of electric devices. He also helped to invent important contributions to AC power, among other important, famous electric related inventions

Do you have a job that will cover the monthly mortgage payments? What about utilities? Property taxes? HOA fees? Insurance? What about if you AC or water heater go out, do you have an e-fund for it those? Will you be able to keep up with the maintenance of the house even in areas you do actively use?

Brendan1620

It’s already there for cars. AC and heating subscription based, new features on teslas behind pay walls.

Why do offices always have the AC on blast

penultimateinsight

Idk. All I see is many products getting worse and everything becoming more expensive. Just the other day I had a contractor help me with my AC unit and he told me try really hard to make this last because the newer ones actually break even faster. It's depressing that we don't seem to be moving forward. Maybe they would have been able to slash people anyway just because there isn't as much change? What's strange is besides the tech companies, no one else seem to be figuring out how to make more money from AI. If there's so much productivity and output, how come prices aren't slowing down in growth?

Please report to the nearest re-education facil... Nevermind. Spider bots are already arriving through your AC ducts.

RED-DOT-MAN

Just reverse it bro. Also add extra holes for free AC

ideletedmyaccount04

WSB apes, you’ve got running water, electricity, AC, indoor plumbing, and internet to YOLO on $GME. That’s better than 99.999% of humans ever. You’re basically royalty, minus the plague. Chill and HODL. 🚀 #Tendies

Dude, where else are we gonna gamble up here in our melting igloos? Am I supposed to put my hard-earned money into a TFSA and hope for an incredible 8% a year? 8% of 3 blue berries is barely even another blue berry. So, yea. Calls on leveraged ETFs in my TFSA is the only way to get AC for my Igloo. (It's a rental because Canada is cool and you need to have kept 12 bitcoin from the Silk Road days so you can buy a condo large where the toilet tank doesn't have to double as a computer desk and the living room window doesn't show a brick wall at eye-level and a Canadian favela down on the street.)

I thought their new AC game sold well....

Sensitive-Talk9616

Look at Skull and Bones. With the success of AC: Black Flag they had a very strong starting point. They could have released "the same game" (as they do with the AC series anyway), just spin off the story, focus more on the ship gameplay, improve the visuals, and bam. There would be millions of fans buying and playing it. Instead, they somehow managed to keep the game under development for many years longer than planned, supposedly spending upward of $600M on it. They kept changing the genre throughout the development (which I assume is what caused the delays and exorbitant costs). In the end, and after several delays, they shipped a... mobile-esque ship mmo. In a space where you have already strong competition from other pirate-themed sailing games. This was not a question of talent, or resources. This was all about shitty management. Their company has one goal -- developing games -- and management is not able to develop good games, on time, and within budget. They probably tried chasing every current trend, rejected the original idea of a Black Flag spin-off on grounds of monetization only, and kept changing scope throughout development, wasting years of effort and tens, if not hundreds, of millions in costs. Alright, so the "first quadruple A" (wtf?) game didn't pan out. No worries, the new AC is in the works, and it's set in feudal Japan. A historical and geographical setting that millions of fans were excited about. All they had to do is release the game, earn some good-will, hopefully make some profits. Ghost of Tsushima did well, right? It should have been so simple. But no. Completely pointless culture war. Now, I get that they probably made their choice of protagonist quite early on. And I do agree that it's a generally interesting protagonist, I don't want to imply they should have just gone for a "safe" option of casting exclusively Japanese protagonists in a Japanese setting. Nevertheless, they definitely could have handled the announcements and marketing better. Even leaving all this beside, the game reportedly had up to a $400M-500M budget, and only like 3 million peak players. If they sold three times as many copies, that's still a bad trade deal, if ever I saw one. Again, why was the budget so high for a game which basically does the same thing a dozen games already did? Ubisoft should have by now such a streamlined pipeline of art creation, writing, and game development, and such a vast store of assets and code, they should be able to churn out a new AC title every couple of years for an order of magnitude less. EA churns out a FIFA game every year for probably like $100M, a big chunk of which is licensing fees. Mismanagement, plain and simple.

fakieTreFlip

AC Shadows is like the very definition of half decent game. "Ubisoft games have been shit for years" is ridiculous hyperbole

Akitten

UBISOFT needed AC shadows to be a smash hit after the delay. It didn't even hit expectations. An assassin game in freaking Japan and they blew it. This is controversial for culture war reasons but the numbers speak for themselves. Their last FY reporting showed an 82 million dollar loss, and that was after release of their biggest title. They are *fucked* unless they can create a smash hit.

zelvak007

Nobody wants to buy their games... they had goose laying golden eggs. Instead they killed the goose and didnt even eat it... When I was younger I always thought videogame companies very sure thing. Everybody would always want to buy the new AC, new WoW expansion, new call of duty. Oh how wrong I was...

monkeysfromjupiter

They have good IPs. Assassins Creed, Far Cry, and the whole Tom Clancy's stuff. They're known for AC though, and for the past decade they've basically butchered the franchise. Repetitive gameplay, sketchy storyline, and this weird back and forth shift to RPG style and stealth-focused. They need direction and the current leadership is not providing it.

Murbela

I don't know if anything new happened. Ubisoft is extremely reliant on a couple IPs, mostly AC and to a lesser extent Rainbow six. We've seen no indication that ubisoft has a strategy to restore value to the AC IP, if anything shadows has confirmed that they will spend a ton of money for a disappointing return (don't care how good/bad the game is, just return on investment). The shenanigans they did with shifting all of their at all valuable ips to a different subsidiary (co ran by John Random Guillemot of course). I feel like this devalues the main stock but i'm approaching the limits of my stock knowledge here. Ubisoft remains an extremely risky investment.
