She's one of the oldest boomers.

Baby boomer generation is 1946-1964 (59 to 77 years old).

I'm lucky enough to have multiple routes to my office.

During the times that taking the back roads is dramatically slower, I'll go on the interstate. Holy hell my stress and anger levels rocket when doing that.

I don't think so?

The frequency I see ads is very very low. And when they do it's just a single card

Yeah it's from adguard DNS.

Ads just show up semi frequently. Definitely visible but not obtrusive. Just keep scrolling.

You should still see the frequency with adguard. It's just a blank area where normally there'd be an ad.

I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

I totally get what you're saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they're there to support the user experience that sync provides. They're also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

The nice thing is, there's choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

When was that? Where?

The house I bought in my 20s (for $275k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $475k.

The house I bought in my 30s ($480k, inflation adjusted) is now worth $800k

In my area at least, home prices are far outpacing inflation. I literally couldn't afford to buy the house I'm in today at its current value.

Do you write 4$ and 50¢?

Or do you write $4.50

And if you write $4.50 do you say "dollars four period fifty"?

That's not nearly the justification that you think it is.

I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of "The fastest RAM is 100 MHz".

DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad ...

My dad is probably about the same age (currently 81)

He didn't touch a computer until the mid 2000s, and he just wanted to be able to email. It was a looooong journey to get him comfortable doing that.

Since he got a smart phone he texts literally every day, has installed a number of apps himself, can mostly get new services working himself (he did Amazon Prime, with some mild hand holding).

If anything, I call him more then he calls me!

It's doable :)

Sometimes that's just how you gotta lay
