Or... And hear me out... Let's not encourage more crazy. There is already enough out there.

I was thinking the same thing

Well that's why you read the article :). I was just trying to showcase that

I'm guessing (without reading) there was a lot of luck there, like no rough seas. We all float better in salt water but 37 hours floating/treading water is impressive regardless of the conditions.

That has been on my radar for a while. I haven't checked it out recently. I'm sure YNAB4 will die sometime in the future, but I'm going to milk it out to the end :). There's already a hack for android (for dropbox syncing) and hoops to jump through to get it working in MacOs. It's just a matter of time before the house of cards falls apart.

There are a few pieces of software I use (regularly) that would continue to get money from me if they followed the old model of paying for major versions. (pay for v1, get v 1.1-1.9) with v2 being the next "big" update that you'd have to pay an upgrade fee (smaller than a new purchase) to continue on the train.

But they switched to subscription model, and lost me as an "active" customer.

YNAB is the big one I use at least weekly, sometimes daily. I am on YNAB4 until it will no longer function because I'm not paying them a monthly fee to use that product. I would have GLADLY paid for major updates/changes even if it equaled the subscription in the end. But each of those purchases would be a decision I made on whether the change had enough value for me.

Subscriptions allow them to not strive for large enough improvements to warrant a version update / upgrade fee. They just run along with little or no useful changes (IMHO).

This entire album is absolutely amazing. And it cracks me up "Band from fortnite" is the description haha. This song was out before anyone that wrote the code for Fortnite was alive (ok, now I feel old)

There's a "spinning" draw bridge that goes onto Gwynn's Island in Virginia that they have to do this to. Not sure how new of a phenomenon that is but it's been at least a few years now.

Not the same traffic backup as NYC, but crazy still.
