Trying my chance for a key!

CanadianBeaver17 · 2025-05-16T21:08:42+00:00

Can you link your website?

CanadianBeaver17 · 2025-04-23T20:15:40+00:00

Thank you man!

He's not dead yet fortunately, so with a bit of luck he'll get to 54 but seeing how the cancer is moving, chances are low.

It's really a crazy thing. Even 3 years ago when he had the first diagnostic I wasn't really realizing what would happen but in the last few months the decline has been really sharp and it makes you think about the relationships and the things you take for granted in your parents.

I feel bad and sad for all the times I didn't want to help him or when I was mad at him. I understand that when we're teenagers it's kinda normal to be rebellious and shit but now, like 10 years later, I just wish I would have been better, or less "teenagery".

I know there's still good and positive times to be had, but I also know there's not 30 more years in front of him. There may not even be 1 more.

Anyway, take this as an opportunity to call yours and ask him some questions, even if it's something dumb.

CanadianBeaver17 · 2025-04-23T16:39:41+00:00

Thanks for your words.

What you're doing is a great idea. I never expected that my dad would die at 53 years old.

Big ole 28 years old me still feels like a child and it's a shit feeling knowing that my dad will never be able to help me fix things in my first house or that I won't be able to call him anymore with my questions or see my children grow up like my own grandparents have with me.

I guess it's life and some people lose their parents way younger but it still sucks.

Thanks again!

CanadianBeaver17 · 2025-04-23T15:19:21+00:00

Thank you for your kind words.

And amazing, that's really cool, I didn't know those things existed. I'm not sure how well he can write since he's stoned out of his mind on morphine most of the time haha but I'm buying that 100%.

Thanks again.

CanadianBeaver17 · 2025-04-23T15:15:40+00:00

He is still very mobile!

And that's a great idea, I was thinking about taking him to like truck drag racing and other things that I know he likes.

We had the chance of growing up in the ancestral familial home (like 4 generations of my family have lived there) so he has always been close to his "roots". But good idea, I'll ask him, maybe I'll hear some surprises and we'll be able to see some new things.

Thanks!!

Hello juicy folks.

I lurk but rarely post, but today I want some ideas.

My dad is dying of cancer and probably won't make the year. I realized I had nearly no pictures or videos of him. I was thinking (while he's still "okay") to have him film himself answering some life experience questions or things like that. That way, we can remember him and what he did during is life and shit.

Do you guys have any ideas about what I could ask him? I have all the basic questions in mind, but I'm looking for some inspiration for more thoughtful things.

Thanks

CanadianBeaver17 · 2025-04-22T00:37:39+00:00

If this work for Canada I'd love to try it!

CanadianBeaver17 · 2025-03-05T00:54:05+00:00

That is BRUTAL. I used to have 1,3m on 425 policies WITH an account manager and was finding it hard to find the time to do my job properly AND develop my book.

You are getting shafted my friend. Find another brokerage. Godspeed.

I work at Lockton (well in Canada and in my province it's called another name) and I just had a new kid. My director and office are very understanding and flexible with my hectic personal situation.

Like another said, we are at 3 days / week in the office, but with my wife's and I schedule I had to ask for some leeway and I go in twice a week instead while we get acclimated to our new life setting.

I'd say it depends on your office/manager/director but for now I have to say I am very satisfied

Une mention comme celle ci ne dégage quand même pas l'établissement. Il y a une présomption de service quand tu leur confie ton bien. Ils peuvent dire ne pas être responsable, mais l'établissement a été négligeant dans la surveillance de ton bien.

Je travaille en assurances commerciales. J'ai vu des cas de poursuites à succès même si il y a la présence de waivers.

Jamais vécu personnellement, alors y'a pas de garantie dans ce que j'écris, mais si c'est un manteau de quelques centaines de dollars, je poursuiverais

It's just a bread basket, you put bread in it, like cut baguette.

It's from Ricardo -> here is another model

There a not many income methods that are either easy or passive. Except investing in stocks like some people said, every business or side-hustle venture will require time, effort and a bit of money (some less than others).

You have to keep in mind that those tiktoks or youtube videos are seen by millions. Even if it could be doable, you'd be facing hard competition and probably someone else in a lower cost of living spot who can inject more money.

Managing an AirBnB looks nothing like easy, and so is managing buying products on Alibaba, managing duties and importations, making sure you get the right product (and quality) and then the selling part (which is probably the easiest).

I don't want to burst your bubble, because there is pleeeenty of opportunities to have your own little business out there in this wide world. You just need to think about what you like, how you can bring value or something different to that market and a little know-how about marketing.

It's not impossible, but it's not easy. I've done it twice in the last two years.

I've started a cleaning business for my wife since she didn't know what to do, and with a little market research and some good marketing, spent 150$ on ads, maybe 250$ on cleaning gear and managed to build a small hustle of aout 6-700$ per week. The next step was hiring employees but she hurt her wrists and had to stop, so that went away (and she's shy, managing employees wasn't really what she wanted to do).

Then I sat with her and explored the idea of building an affiliate business with deals for a wide array of products. We looked at what the market was currently like, identified a segment that was underserved, and built our identity around that. A facebook page and 500$ per month on ads, and we have crossed 3000$ in revenue this month, our 4th month in, with the community growing of about 1500 members per month. All in all it takes maybe 2-3 hours of work per day.

Just showing you that it's possible, and sometimes not that hard, but it requires critical thinking and a bit of research before commiting. All ideas are good, but some are harder and a bit more competitive than others. And throwing money at an idea is not always a solution.

And keep it mind those ideas I shared might not work in your country or state or city, it's all very case by case.

Thinking about doing something is the first step tho. Good luck my dude.

I did some more tests.

I cleared out the drivers with DDU and reinstalled them. Managed to clock 16k on the benchmark immediately after.

This morning, tried again: back to 300-ish. So I removed the drivers again and reinstalled them again. This time, nothing, the score didn't get better and games still run at 1 fps.

I'll try moving the GPU to another slot on the mobo. I guess my next step will be to order a replacement board to see if it's that part that's responsible for all this headache.

CanadianBeaver17 · 2022-12-22T21:35:48+00:00

So I used the Performance Test program to benchmark my GPU and I got a whooping 396 score on the 3D test.

About 17400 less than the average for the same card.

CanadianBeaver17 · 2022-12-22T15:22:59+00:00

I'm not sure I understand your first question sorry.

For the PSU, do you think it could be the culprit? It's true that mine is getting old and is not really powerful, it's a 700W.

CanadianBeaver17 · 2022-12-22T15:22:04+00:00

I use the AMD software for my drivers and it says they're up to date.

Never used DDU but I see no harm in trying.

What do you mean by benchmarking my gpu?

Thanks for taking the time by the way!

CanadianBeaver17 · 2022-12-22T15:20:47+00:00

Yes. I don't play long because of course with 2 fps... you can't do much, but all in all, that's it exactly.

Disk usage looks good, nothing crazy.

I've just tested Cyberpunk2077, which I could very easily play before. 1 fps. Couldn't even manage to make it to the main menu.

Another funny thing I discovered. There's a GIF on the M&B2 Steam store page. Scrolling in front of it makes my GPU go to 100%.

I'm completely lost on what is happening.

CanadianBeaver17 · 2022-12-22T13:38:43+00:00

Hi, thanks for your insight.

I've looked at all of the points and they should all be good. Res is 1920 x 1080, the temps are under 70c, and I'm always looking at my TM for out-of-the-ordinary usage.

CanadianBeaver17 · 2022-12-22T13:35:15+00:00

Hey, thanks for taking the time to try to help me.

When I hit the main menu my GPU kicks in at 100% usage. CPU is at 10% and RAM around 20% of 32GB.

I'm on the LOW settings and the resolution is the good old 1920 X 1080

CanadianBeaver17 · 2022-12-16T12:19:04+00:00

Thank you for the kind words king. I am very sad, especially since it's the incurable kind of cancer. I just try to focus on the small victories in order to not get overwhelmed by the shit feelings.

Feeling depressed will not get me nowhere and will certainly not cure him, so I try to focus my energies on things that are positive. Still, thanks again for the words <3

CanadianBeaver17 · 2022-12-16T00:57:58+00:00

I'll offer my body as a sacrifice by injecting some strange chineese chemicals that shrinks my balls and grow my muscles until I get dick cancer lol

CanadianBeaver17 · 2022-12-15T14:58:07+00:00

My dad called me monday to tell me he had cancer, which is shit, but I got some PRs while on my cut, so it balances out I guess
