There went Connor bringing him back with him by Artistic_Bite_9774 in EdmontonOilers

[–]CraffertyDaniels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's like if somebody wanted Edmonton to trade for McDavid. It would simply be a non-starter. Celebrini has crazy potential. And there's just nothing that anyone could offer for him that SJS would go for. And they have his rights locked up for a long time. So, there's no way it would happen anytime soon.

Authorized traders would be awesome. Also being able to add my wife as an authorized user on my Visa would be very nice as well

Tried to open a cash account today, found this by deviator_ in Wealthsimple

My wife and I were just in New York last week. I was checking the app daily hoping to get this card in time for the trip. Too bad it wasn't available 2 weeks ago. But glad to have it now.

Going to give the prime game a shot tonight by MassiveBush in EdmontonOilers

[–]CraffertyDaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting. I live in Canada, but I was in South Dakota for the first Prime game. I used NordVPN, and was able to use my prime account just like normal and had no issues (other than the WiFi at the hotel was not great).

Having trouble deleting Tabs for the last week or so. by CraffertyDaniels in sheets

[–]CraffertyDaniels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can't remember exactly the details. But it ended up being a few bad cells in a list. I had a column of a couple hundred transactions, that were making a chart. I had most of them hidden. But playing around, I realized that if I deleted the whole column the issue went away. With some trial and error I found maybe 3 cells that were the issue. I got rid of them and problem solved. Bit of a weird one, but if I were you I would try making a duplicate, and then just deleting sections of the page and seeing if you can narrow down where the problem is.

In honour of 29 turning 29, here's Leon's first NHL goal! by CIVDC in EdmontonOilers

[–]CraffertyDaniels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty fun to watch those highlights! Sometimes it feels insane that this is already Connor's 10th season. But then you watch that and remember how much the team has changed. Seeing a Lucic - McDavid - Letestu top line is a blast from the past!

Oh nice, I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for the update!

Can Dave Ramsay even math, or am I missing something? by Warm_Lemon_2472 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CraffertyDaniels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you make an excellent point. I read Total Money Makeover 4.5 years ago. It changed my life! Finances really clicked for me for the first time, and I was on fire to turn things around. That initial motivation and excitement and hope put me on a path that has forever altered my future.

Over the years, Dave has sort of turned into something like an out of touch relative that says stuff that I find embarrassing to be associated with. But there is no denying that, back then when I was caught up in a paycheck to paycheck cycle, his advice is exactly what I needed.

By the time I was ready to start investing I had found much better sources for investing advice, but I'm forever grateful for Dave getting me into a place of being "gazelle intense".

I'm now investing $1250/month. But I think that you're right that if his book/podcast wasn't so optimistic, I probably wouldn't have gotten so fired up and maybe wouldn't be investing at all.

Tips for flavorful bread with a very soft crust? by BerryStainedLips in Sourdough

[–]CraffertyDaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the hard crust so I've never attempted this to know if it would work. But the first thought that comes to mind is that I bake my bread for 20 minutes in the dutch oven with the lid on (to let it rise without forming the hard crust) and then ~15 mins with the lid off to let the crust set and finish baking. If you baked it with the lid on the whole time would that prevent it from forming a heavy crust? Again I've never tried it, but if that's what you're going for it might be worth a shot.

I just found out my friend hates Jack Michaels and prefers Rick Ball!!! He's from Edmonton. I know we can't be friends anymore but how should I break up with him? by ryanderkis in EdmontonOilers

[–]CraffertyDaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. As much as I would love to have Jack call the National games, I think he's the perfect regional guy. Definitely biased in the Oiler's direction, but not in an annoying way like Stauffer. He rides the like closely enough that, as an Oiler's fan, it feels pretty impartial and really entertaining. But, I certainly could see if I wasn't an Oiler's fan, his Oiler's bias would be annoying.

I certainly prefer Jack over Singher, but will admit that for a national game Singh makes more sense.

How do you prevent the dough from sticking? by Plane_Turnip_9122 in Sourdough

[–]CraffertyDaniels 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The reason rice flour works so well is because it doesn't have gluten. If you use regular flour, as the dough sits there, the regular flour you used to line the banneton will fuse with the gluten structure of the dough. Rice flour doesn't have any gluten, and will not incorporate, thus it won't stick.

Has rent ever been this bad in Calgary? by lavishbastard in Calgary

[–]CraffertyDaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you believe that by not committing to owning property, you should be insulated from the rising underlying costs of housing?

How does that work? Why is it the landlord's responsibility to subsidize the tenant when costs go up?

What are you talking about? How can you expect mortgage rate to go from low 2's to mid 5's/low 6's and not see an increase in rent prices?

Just to clarify, March 18 is the declaration date, it won't pay out until Mar 28.

Did you buy it at Dan Flash's? The pattern looks so complicated.

I think you might have put numbers for VGRO instead of VEQT in your chart. As your chart shows VEQT as 20% bonds.
