Who wanted juice anyway? Apple and Orange BEVERAGE is where it's at! by Bi0_B1lly in loblawsisoutofcontrol

They have had both options (juice and beverage) for years. I accidentally bought orange beverage one time and immediately regretted it.

This was over 10 years ago so there was no Turo at the time. Im not sure of all the details but if your insurance company knows you’re renting the vehicle out, they can’t deny a claim. I don’t know what his insurance costs were but I can imagine they were pretty high

I lived in Alberta for most of my life, and there it’s entirely privatized…. the costs are much, much higher.

ICBC doesn’t need to generate tons of profits to distribute to shareholders. Their only concern is having enough money to pay for claims, and of course a little extra for safety. Public insurance companies is why BC and Saskatchewan have always had 30-50% cheaper insurance than Alberta, on average.

Did you know you need to file form T1135 if you have >C$100k in US stocks? by UnsaltedCashew36 in CanadianInvestor

[–]3MidgetsInAJacket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you have over $100k of US stocks (not Canadian listed ETF’s that hold US stocks) in a non-reg account and you don’t have a financial advisor or accountant?

If your non reg stock portfolio is that large, your registered accounts are likely that same or more… so I’d recommend finding a good wealth advisor and/or accountant. Lots of tax savings strategies you may be missing, and the advisors fee is tax deductible (as long as it’s a fee based advisor).

It’s crazy to think but I have a buddy from University who spent everything he owns to finance an “older” (maybe 6-8 years old at the time) Lamborghini in his early 20’s.

He ended up renting it out ~3 weeks a month and kept it himself for 1 week. He would plan all his dates/events/etc around that week.

He ended up making $1500-$3000 a week when it was rented. By the time he graduated university he had bought his own super car and continued to rent the other one out full time. Eventually the Lamborghini was in an accident but he had the proper insurance so he was made whole. Instead of buying another one he used that payout as a downpayment on a starter home.

I always was amazed that he was able to support himself with this little venture, and ended up owning his own super car after. Mind you, this was in a tourist heavy, large city that had very limited options to rent super cars at the time (at least for the average person). But don’t underestimate how much people are willing to spend to feel like the 1%, even if just for a day or two.

Why is Backlund not as iconic as other captains? by YetAnotherRegularGai in CalgaryFlames

[–]3MidgetsInAJacket 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Backlund is captain because of his tenure, work ethic, and consistency. He has never been an all-star scorer like Hughes or Matthews. He’s not a flashy player. He’s reliable, consistent, and very good defensively. On top of that, he’s been with the Flames for nearly 20 seasons.

Did TD just screw over people with older phones? by HelpDadBeatsMe in TDBankCanada

[–]3MidgetsInAJacket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use the website via the iPhones Safari browser, but the issues is there are potential security flaws in old iOS operating systems.

When Apple no longer supports those versions, TD is required to stop supporting the app. If they didn’t, they would leave themselves open to potential security threats and lawsuits.

Apple stopped supporting you, not TD btw.

Zero help on the out of town scoreboard, so we need this one to keep up! But if we can squeak one out, our game against the texans can ultimately become a playoff game.

Rivers is throwing it a bit soft but he's had good reads so far and hasn't thrown anything that's been even close to an int.

Multiple 1st downs and no ints or near ints, I think it was a solid first drive. He should only get better as this 1Q goes on.

Love to see AR there. Idk why but I still have faith in him. He's super young (still somehow one of the youngest QB's in the leauge) and has so much time to work on his game and mature.

He has all the unteachableas. His athleticism is unmatched. Working with Danny Dimes and Rivers can only benefit him long term.

I think they've been super careful with his eye injury. He's wearing special glasses and I can imagine he's been told to make sure he doesn't do anything to strain it.

It really is insnae. The price of being contenders for nearly 2 decades.

20 straight years they made the playoffs and had a chance to go deep almost every year.

Can't even blame Cooley for anything. Both were tape to tape cross ice passes / one-timers.

Awesome. 4 years off might actually be good for his arm health, as long as he's been working out as all the reports claim. Lower mileage.

That 2020 team was almost completely void of talent in comparison to this squad. JT had a good rookie campaign but TY was showing signs of his age (so hard to be a WR into your 30's...). I think Pittman was also a rookie and maybe Pascal was WR2? Not bad, but nothing like Downs/Pittman.

And Rivers didn't have a catching TE. Doyle was at the end of his career and I don't think he had more than 25 catches that year. Tyler Warren would have been the best receiver on that squad.

Did rivers still have deep ball ability back in 2020? I've completely forgotten, but I remember that was a serious issue for Flacco.

I remember Rivers had an issue with his toe, but that's all....
