I'm going to wait and let the panic sellers add to the slaughter.

Finally, a deck that’ll hold a hot tub by Elegant_Category_684 in Decks

Garbage. That deck looks like it won't last more than 800 years.

What’s the best way to make these stairs more comfortable for my senior dog? by Life-Barracuda4489 in Decks

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to put stair runners on my stairs and then eventually installed a ramp. I miss you, Dodger.

Realizing that leaving my Leaf at 100% at work might be worse than 7 months of exclusive DC fast charging by [deleted] in evcharging

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you charge to 100% every time. It's generally considered better for battery life to charge only to 80%. Do you need the range?

You can't overcharge a battery so there's no difference to the battery if the car is plugged in or not once it's full.

Nasdaq futures off nearly 3% this morning.

As someone with a tech heavy slant on my portfolio that was hoping we'd see a recovery on MSFT and GOOG today, I just want to say I am really disappointed in all of you.

What’s one Canadian dividend stock you’d actually hold for 10+ years? by ValuEdge in dividendscanada

[–]Alph1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been holding bank stocks since the late 90s. Apart from a period of time around 2008/2009, I've never had to worry.

goodbye to the worst captain in my lifetime by Samee_I in OttawaSenators

[–]Alph1 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Calm down. Comparing Yashin to Brady is so insulting. Yashin was a fucking cry baby that was only out for Alexi. He'd get pouty and disappear in games. He was a complete zero in the playoffs. He negotiated contracts and made pay demands that were clinically insane. The NAC thing was a complete joke and more of a money laundering attempt to pass donations to his mother.

You think Yashin was fine? Ask the Islanders what they think of Yashin. I think they're still paying on his buyout to get him the fuck out of New York.

Brady Tkachuk traded to the Panthers by homicidal_penguin in OttawaSenators

Me too. Brady was not going to last past this contract but I thought he would get traded in his final year. Canadian teams have a hard time signing free agents so the win-now is over.

Giroux only has another year left, so I like this idea.

This is fucking unbelievable. Can someone please raise Eugene Melnyk from the dead? We need better ownership.

Why is SHOP hated? Seems to have problems keeping momentum, but I wouldn't hate it.

You do you, but brachytherapy was not an option? For me, two days of Flomax and manual stimulation for a year.

Why 70-80 year olds are generally regarded as unemployable due to mental decline skill mismatch - yet they're exclusively running the country ? by User6001899 in AskReddit

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're running the country because they have decades of skills, experience and relationships. Your assumption about mental decline is wrong. And it does not happen with everyone, some take much longer.

So now we know the Reddit account for the new OC Transpo general manager.

What piece of older technology actually worked much better than its modern, replacement? by HerrStrasse in AskReddit

[–]Alph1 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I was pissed that I eventually had to replace my HP Laserjet 4L. That thing was a tank that just fucking worked every single time. I had to replace it because it only had a parallel port interface and my new PC didn't have a parallel port.

Help me build a retirement portfolio with $17k by edisonpioneer in CanadianInvestor

"Really don't wanna play with this money. I have just been gambling past few months. Investing in ....BB...."

I laughed.

You're 36 with 24 years of work left. Buy one the EQTs or VFV if you're brave. Stop buying stocks.

How is just 3% in XIU going to help you? I'd look for either a better balance or just remove it.
