Is high-end CNC machining worth it, or just a flex for engineers with too much budget?

Is paying $1,000+ for a GPU really worth it when last-gen cards run 95% of games just fine?

Is spending double on a premium GPU actually worth it for gaming, or is it just bragging rights?

Do you really need to spend over $1,000 on a ski jacket to stay warm?

Is it a waste of money to buy premium gear when mid-range often works just as well for most people?

Is anyone else sick of overpriced "pro" network gear that barely works?

Why do IoT enthusiasts pretend their $1,000 setup is better than my cheap DIY system when both break equally often?
