AC

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.

hxn42

Feeling better about my 700 shares @ $12 AC lol here's hoping it rips tomorrow for some decent premiums for us both : )

Annual_Nail_2176

Lol that’s not what it says. The conditions for the boards proposals are clearly listed in the disclosure that they filed Friday afternoon, these proposals were made after the previous dilution.

AC - Air Canada

dangernext

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.

rawzombie26

This just in via a report brought to you by CNN, MSNBC and other broadcasters It’s early in reporting but it’s in talks that the POTUS wants to make the act of J walking a criminal act so extreme we will be dealing with offenders with AC130 coverage in large domestic environments.

I'm from Atlantic City so Yeah, hey $200 bucks to take a shot. Like the guy said set a stop loss, And it runs and you can get 25% what the hell. $200 bucks is nothing in AC

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.

dimethylhyperspace

When someone tells you to turn the AC down, do you make it colder or warmer?

Enzo954

The guy is a 2 time President, Billionaire, about to win the Nobel Peace prize after todays announcement and you work at Home Depot. STFU and tell what aisle I can find the AC filters.

9e78

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.

Cormano_Wild_219

I hope it has manual windows and no AC

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.

YummyBatteries

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.

cltbeer

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.

NecessaryCockroach85

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.

ThereforeIV

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.

milkplantation

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.

Refrigerator_Either

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.

Substantial-Elk4531

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

baopow

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.

Stealthhit098

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?

Separate_Fold5168

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.)

Individual-Branch340

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.

masteroflich

AC Blackflag Remake, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Rayman, Division 3, Far Cry. They have tons of stuff to unveil

OhMyDiosito

I'm also surprised, even more with all the games they have in the making, some of them appealing to the nostalgic gamer, to mention some for the next 2 years: The Division 3, new Far Cry, new AC (Hexe I think?), new Rainbow Six, remake of Prince of Persia, Beyond Good and Evil 2 (big doubt at this point), remake of Splinter Cell, remake of AC Blag Flag (don't know if confirmed), new Rayman, Anno is going to be released soon (I know, these last two are niche). I don't think the sentiment will be the same as few years ago, but I don't know, Shadows wasn't bad at all and they are taking their time for every single game I mentioned. Also, Tencent put a lot of money on them, I don't think it was to throw it away. Not a short time investment, but for a long one might be interesting.

Highborn_Hellest

Their games are dogshit, bloated, unfun and disrespectful to cultures. Their management are idiots. Their executives are convinced that games for everybody are in fact a good strategy ( it's not) aaaand I'd that's not all, their owners wanna sell out or did sell out to China. Their best product, R6Siege has a skeleton crew, and disgusting slop like AC shadows have armies that can't possibly make good ROI. They couldn't possibly fumble the bag more even if they went door to door and spat in the face of anybody who bought their games ever. I'm genuinely *shocked* that they're still a functioning company.

Albertpm95

Same answers as the last two posts, plus: They had 3 big things in recent years, AC Shadow (most hyped game in the franchise), Star Wars (a franchise with a really big fandom that has proven to spend a lot of money in the franchise) and Avatar (a franchise that has also generated a lot of money) All these 3 things were copy&paste of other things they had already made. These 3 things failed, they don't have any more bullets in the chamber, investors know it's just a sinking ship so they are jumping off the board with a piece of the ship to keep them afloat.

MikeMiller8888

I think you’ll be OK now since you’ve hedged for a .25 cut. Thinking there will be no cut, uhh… we don’t even need to look at all this blather about numbers and everything else. You just gotta look at the economy real time. Work is drying up everywhere; companies aren’t hiring and half a million government workers steady salaries have vanished. They aren’t ordering Instacart or DoorDash anymore, and that’s hurting all the gig workers. With side income drying up, professional services are getting cut - people put off maintenance on their AC and cars when they can’t afford it. It’s a vicious cycle and we’re full born in it. Every single sign says we are in a recession, right now. And you know how these go; they don’t say “we’re in a recession” until we’ve been in it for six months. Shit, this administration will fire any messenger that says that as well, so it’s not like they can even be trusted anymore to say it. So all you have left is your own evidence; what do you see in the stores? I see more clearance everywhere, sitting longer, I see food prices at ridiculous levels - soda and beef are easily at all time highs, and I see people unable to get jobs and their households cutting back. It doesn’t matter if you love or hate the orange man, his policies have brought us into recession. And there’s only one economic answer for that, lowering rates, and who knows how effective that’s even gonna be when they only have about four percent that they can effectively cut and eat cut will push inflation higher, which is already easily at 3%. Kinda feel sorry for JPow here, the closest economic parallel to what we’re facing is stagflation of the 70s.

jimmypower66

Canadian Here - AC is currently making sure I feel pain, but it’s almost pandemic level low so one can hope

Yogurt_Up_My_Nose

I have an office / construction job. when there's no AC or moving air in the buildings and it's 95 , always feel like passing out. but being 95 out in full sunshine has got to be way worse.

iD-10T_usererror

Rejigger how they calculate inflation. They have done this eight times in the past I think. Think about it: They already exclude things that are considered "volatile". You need food and energy to live and get to work (AC is also nice in the south). They don't care what is in the inflation calculation as long as it looks good so the rich can borrow cheap money. Next, inflation will just be calculated on the price of corn and we will just keep subsidizing it and wonder why we are all so unhealthy eating foods loaded with corn syrup.

Almost as normal as people dying from not having AC in Europe

In a reality their job is to close a sale by any means. The more they close the more $$$ they get. If a buyer is not a clueless fool than it's in buyer's best interest to find and pre-qualify for a mortgage, hire a good home inspector who reports to them, research school districts, etc. If a seller/owner is not a clueless fool then they already know to pick up their shit from the floor, clean up the house, turn all lights and AC, mow the yard, clean the pool, leave warm cookies on the counter, cheaply fix the eye catching defects prior, etc

Long term durable competitive advantages in boring industries that have led to consistent outperformance. If those companies are at fair valuations and they maintain their advantage you can do quite well. Also need to view a portfolio as a whole, look at correlations, and overall volatility. I don't care what a stock has done over the last year for example. It could be extremely volatile but if another stock has a low or negative correlation those two stocks could do well in a portfolio. AAON is a favorite of mine. They make commercial air conditioners etc. It's not tech, its not sexy, and even in a recession, companies in Texas need AC. Same goes for some shipping companies. ODFL is another great example.

"Pretty good" is . They are mid at best lol. Watered down RPG systems that provide no real gameplay value and are there purposefully to slow your progress down in hopes of buying XP boost. MTX shop in a singleplayer game. Vast open world that admittedly looks nice but is filled with the most boring slop fetch quests and the classic "clear the outpost" activities. Main story and characters so forgetful they could be a movie starred by the Rock. If that's pretty good, what's bad? Now, this will be an asshole elitist take from me but AC has joined the holy trifecta of "Fifa, CoD, AC" games. Which means when somebody tells me they mainly play one of these games, I immediately know they ain't really into gaming. They are just killing time.

And yet the only relevance you have to the world is that you're adult Disneyland for Americans wanting to connect to their heritage. "Ooohh, look at the shitty stone house my great grandfather had it live in. I feel sorry for the person living there now with no AC in 50 degree summers."

Junior-Appointment93

No. Just sell CC’s if you have 100 shares or more. Then wait for c then to get called away. AC collect some premium

d_bradr

Yeah a map that's mostly desert, cheap fetch quests and artificially drawing out play time is peak gaming. I have a feeling they mainly decided RPG was the right directions because that genre makes it decently easy to shit out slop while making it easy to waste the players' time Next step is Odyssey with its booster packs and many of the issues of Origins Valhalla fixed some stuff but the time period and the map weren't meant for AC Mirage was a step in the right direction but that'd be a long journey Haven't played Shadows so I can't comment on it

I’ve been there once to grab a drink. Whole store smelled like something was rotting in it. AC didn’t work. Doors propped open and one very sad seeming employee working.

TotalBismuth

A lot of gamers have tuned completely out of AC games because they’re in the same tier as sports games, releasing every year. They milked the franchise way too much. Contrast that with Blizzard, who only recently released the 4th Diablo game, 20 years after the first. That’s a strong company.

matamorofx

The fist article is from April. As of August 27th, Shadows is out of the US top 20. [https://imgur.com/a/Mv9hfxE](https://imgur.com/a/Mv9hfxE) The ranking in the second source is bogus as it's not counting digital sales for big hits like Mario Kart and Expedition 33. AC Shadows performed similarly to AC Mirage (5 million players in 4 months) which wasn't even a mainline game and was totally forgotten until Saudi Arabia decided to pay for the development of a new DLC.

Hey Google! Switch on the AC because we’re on FIREEEE 🔥

> Their logic for not doing it before was sound. Japan/China are like the most generic settings possible for AC and part of the whole appeal of the series is seeing settings not commonly used.  Like london? That logic doesn’t really hold up.

NothingLikeCoffee

Their logic for not doing it before was sound. Japan/China are like the most generic settings possible for AC and part of the whole appeal of the series is seeing settings not commonly used.  I think Ubi was over-run with MBA's and agenda-pushers that killed their games in favor of short term profits and pushing their viewpoints. It alienated their audiences and massively dropped the quality of the games. 

GuaSukaStarfruit

The guy who did Expedition 33 pitched his idea to Ubisoft and got rejected. AC also wanted to do China, japan before. Got rejected. Only considered after GoT. There’s also many canceled project, one of my friend worked on fantasy setting but in modern New York. Which got cut, imagine riding dragon in New York. It would be such a cool game

Origins was peak AC Imo. I loved the ezio trilogy, ac3 was massively underrated and loved it too, black flag was dope, unity was meh, and i really loved syndicate. Then origins came out and became my atf. Origins was really good too, but a bit too long. Never tried anything past odyssey.

Cadenca

Buddy, that's still a strech. Humans are very close behind elves and the point was that Gale the literal generic male is the most popular choice. As well as shadowheart the white girl type for the romance. Your point about AC is heard, I didn't play it. However, from the marketing I wouldn't even know you had game time on characters other than yasuke - as such, I can easily imagine other prospective players wouldn't either. Ie., it still hurt the game lots

The_Spicy_brown

Mamagement at the top is truly horrible. They are the worst and it seems most investors (big or small) would agree. I think 2026/2027 is the make or break of Ubisoft. Lots of there top release have rumors of releasing next year/ the year after ( the next AC, far cry, Pop remake, etc). The last injection of cash of the Tencent. Also, they have to reduce the headcount at some point. I bet its slighlty before the end of fiscal year. If they pull off big releases in 2026/2027 and reduce head count, this is a must buy. If not, this no where near the bottom.

> The most expected era for an AC was Japan and it failed. No other AC will have similar hype. their biggest problem was that people had been asking for since x360 was the current console and ac3 was the newest game, then eventually sony just made the ac game people were asking for (ghost of tsushima) and it was amazing. ghost was a huge success, and its sequel ate a lot of ac's hype. basically ubi was a day late and a dollar short.

Cicero912

I mean the recent AC games are pretty good, no Black Flag but pretty good. They sold well aswell.

Albertpm95

The only good game ubisoft made recently is a Prince of Persia, but they closed the studio that made it (it was never going to be a success because it was expensive, didn't launch on steam, it was coming from Ubisoft and it was a niche genere). The most expected era for an AC was Japan and it failed. No other AC will have similar hype. They also are trying (I don't know currently, was heavily rumored) to make a new company and gift the main IP's to that new small company, leaving the current Ubisoft as a husk.

daxter_101

Tell me the last time Ubisoft made a good game that wasn’t a cash grab and not trash. AC died a decade ago, far cry peaked with 3, watch dogs became a meme.

It is true that Elon Musk wasn't part of Tesla's original incorporation back in 2003. It's also true that Tesla was literally 3 guys, Martin Eberhard, Marc Tarpenning, and Ian Wright, working out of a rundown building near Palo Alto. * Tesla at that point had practically nothing of value: there were no manufacturing facilities. The motors and electronics designs were owned by AC Propulsion. Tesla had no battery pack, no support infrastructure, and no charging network. Mr. Musk did play a critical role in building the organization that Tesla is today. He recruited key early employees like JB Straubel, Tesla's first CTO. It's important to acknowledge that the reality is more complex than who signed the original legal documents or not.

I have a 2016 and it still gets 32mpg…. AC works…. Why the hate

Landlords blasting AC and the vent is on my head. It's 13 C!!!

You need to buy a fan and turn on the AC

The recommended amount of emergency expenses to keep as a fund is typically **3 to 6 months** of living expenses. This emergency fund should cover essential costs such as rent or housing, utilities, debts, and food for that period. The goal is to have enough money to sustain oneself through unexpected events like job loss, medical emergencies, or major repairs without needing to rely on credit or loans. It depends on how soon you think you can find a replacement job/pay. Contribute to your workplace 401k if you qualify. Taking on a paid roommate in the house could also provide additional income. There would always be unexpected expenses with a house/appliance, hot water heater/furnace/AC/roof need to be replaced over time, car needs replacement so those would be big expenses not in typical monthly budget that need to be accounted for in future years.

CEO-of-SOXL

Hear me out. Getting divorced. Take my 401k out which has around 315k in it. Pay the penalty. Take it to AC and put it on black depending on the dealers skin tone.

When they bought my home from me - the inspection consisted of a FaceTime call, going thru every room, while the rep took photos. And then a person coming a few days later to “confirm the status” of the home and that the photos were accurate. They never hopped on the roof, checked the AC, nothing. Just looked for cosmetic stuff

Deepthunkd

I have two homes right now looking to sell one and… 1.At *today’s mortgage* rates renting doesn’t pencil out in either metro I have a house in. It’s cool you got in and refinanced at 2.75%, but net/new landlords cooked in most markets on return. 2. I invest in real estate investment funds that yield ~12%. Even with the leverage advantage and appreciation, net of costs (taxes, insurance, repairs rentals don’t throw off that return). 3. A lot of rental owners I talk to have time bombs of properties. Roof and AC about to die. Local government that needs to raise property taxes to offset pension costs. State level politics that is trying to give property tax relief only to Homestead’s. The amount of people I talk to who have rental properties that when I ask them questions like: 1. What’s the IRR? 2. Did you fund this by cashing out a 401K, or not funding it? Give me terrifying answers.

It’s still 23C outside so either blast the AC @ $9,999/kWh 🙃®️ embrace insomnia here until passing out

Hey all, just stumbled upon this fix for my Yahoo Finance portfolio blues... My issue was that, even though the transactions for each security were listed, the calculated fields (Shares, AC/Share, Gain/Loss info, etc. etc.) would just show ---- The fix that worked for me: 1. Log in to **Yahoo Finance** and open one of your portfolios—calculated fields show “--” 2. In **Chrome**, click the **“View site information”** icon (left side of the address bar, just to the left of the site address) 3. Select **“Cookies and site data”** 4. Click **“Manage on-device site data”** 5. Delete the data entries for: * [**finance.yahoo.com**](http://finance.yahoo.com) * [**geo.yahoo.com**](http://geo.yahoo.com) * [**login.yahoo.com**](http://login.yahoo.com) * [**yahoo.com**](http://yahoo.com) 6. In the same tab, under **“Data from embedded sites,”** delete [**scorecardresearch.com**](http://scorecardresearch.com) (if present) 7. Click **Done** 8. Reload the page when prompted After completing those steps, Yahoo Finance rebuilds its local cache and **all calculated fields should render correctly again**. Hope this helps!

Redid the sod on my lawn and used it as an opportunity to snake a couple extension cords under the grass to the outlet on the side of my neighbor's garage. Think I've saved around $1k in power now that I have it hooked up to my central AC

CheFarmerMoney

At 6% no way in hell. I did this "on accident" in 2021. Did a cash out refinance for $80k for a potential addition we were hoping to do. By the time the loan went through building prices had gone from $150 sqf to nearly $250 sqf. I had gone from 15 yr 4.5% with 11 years left to 30 year 3%, and my mortgage payment went down $50 a month. Instead of using the money on the addition to the house we replaced the AC system, flooring and had the whole inside of the house painted. Out $10k toward a used car down payment and the rest we put into HYSA that at the time was at 5.25% and we funded me and my wife's Roth IRAs for 2 years out of the HYSA. The remainder is still in the HYSA and is our emergency fund. The point to my story is that while it worked out and the money was put to good use and has given us a nice safety net without putting undue risk on our home I would never have willingly tried to leverage that borrowed money into the situation I am in now or especially into the stock market, and especially not at 6%.
