My home value hasn’t started falling yet, according to Zillow, but the appreciation seems to have leveled off.

The reason your car crumples so much when some idiot hits it is to protect you. The more energy that goes into deforming parts of your car, the less that goes into accelerating your meatbag, preventing injury.

I didn’t even realize Antec still existed. I knew them for their cases (I had the Twelve Hundred), but I haven’t seen any build pics with their cases on Reddit/Lemmy for years. There was a year where it seemed like everyone was building in the Bitfenix Prodigy, then another where everyone was in the NZXT Phantom, then after that it’s been mostly Corsair, Cooler Master, and Fractal. My last 4 have been Fractal.
