I got into the weeds a bit more in this comment.
Before I moved from Vancouver I was working piece work, so paid by the square foot of stone installed(I'm a stone mason). I was making about the equivalent of $40/hr. With cost of food, cell, vehicle insurance, fuel, etc. I had to live with 3 other people, my rent was still about $1000/month, $1500+ with bills. For a room.
That wasn't really a great example without context. When I moved to London 2 pints of milk was 60p, 500g of really good cheese was £1.50 maybe. Rent on the last 2 bed my wife and I rented in London was £1100. The last 2 bed I rented in greater Vancouver, so 2017ish, was $3000.
My monthly car insurance before I moved in November 2020, even with exchange rate, is ⅔ of my ANNUAL cost here. My cell plan is £24pcm and I get 500gb of data, plus global roaming. 1kg of chicken breast that I just picked up today for dinner was £2 and change.
That poor bastard is now the face of British gonorrhoea.....
Legit. I grew up in Vancouver. When I moved to London (UK) to be with my wife I was blown away by how cheap food was. Prices are rising, inflation, COVID, Brexit, etc. still, I pay less than £2 for 2 pints(bit over a litre) of milk.
A standard shop for 2 weeks is usually around £80-100, but we get easily double what I'd get at a grocery for $80-100 PRE covid.
My general stance is that, for the most part, Americans are like everyone else is. They're mostly perfectly fine individually. It's when you get them all in a group that they're an issue.
As a stone mason, I object to this statement. Rocks are useful.

Could do it with a hacksaw and a loooooot of patience
Scotland is nice. Still miss BC though
.... MFR....do NOT leave us hanging!
I definitely would with Garuda. Like I said, they've removed basically all of the pain points of arch. I set my 70yr old dad up with Garuda, he's been using MacOS mostly and windows for work for ages. The only thing I had to show him was how to open a terminal and type "sudo update" every few weeks. Everything else is as intuitive as any other Linux distro.

My wife is going to HATE this..... Thanks! ❤️
