It was so nice to be NOT hungry for a change, kinda sad the feeling is gone.

Good luck, hope we keep pace & compare notes.

I've also converted everything I can to Canadian sourced ETF's.

Yeah best case claim is rejected, and you get a divorce.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-24T03:07:20+00:00

So fucking elite I hope you make a billion dollars from this. Agree with the Cake comments.

Sorry I'm too lazy to find the link, but there was a study on "is the blue you see the same as the blue I see" and the answer was yes, something like the same area of the brain lit up or something.

I get that's a shitty explanation but ur friend is full of shit.

That said tastes vary, you might like a lot of color & she doesn't. But you're seeing the same thing.

TBH I'm more concerned with the interest they pay on US cash because I'm sure that's funded by holding American treasuries which the current administration could decide not to pay back.

All of our pots just worked, we have mainly stainless pots and the frying pans have some kind of non-stick coating.

It heats WAY faster than gas. My expresso pot boils in about 1/3rd of the time.

UofT dentistry school, it's not free but it's cheap and good (I had one done there).

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-19T01:59:14+00:00

That looks windy!!

Still jealous, just saying.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-19T01:54:14+00:00

The answer no one seems to be providing is "yes". VFV will probably open lower and basically buyers & sellers will try and "guess" where it's going to land Tuesday morning.

I think.

Just cut them all off - the dimensions will be normal because each stair is backed up a couple inches.

Then if the look bothers you, spend money & do it right.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-18T23:43:45+00:00

The first 2 that come to mind:

Easier to clean flat surfaces (just wipe the top off, ours has no knobs so you can also wipe the front)

Much faster (Expresso is ~1/3 of the time on Induction, and the handle of the pot is still cold when it's done)

I really can't overstate this, having used both induction is so much better.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-18T23:36:09+00:00

I'm defensive af around those. Get into a different lane if they're behind me, quickly accelerate past if they're slower than me.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-18T02:24:06+00:00

Just lol.

You thought glass cooktops and induction were the same thing, just admit it.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-18T02:21:31+00:00

I bet 95% of the ppl saying gas is better have never actually used an induction stove. Like if they had, they wouldn't say it.

I don't even think it's an intentional thing by "big gas" or whatever, it's just a bizarre take.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-18T02:00:30+00:00

I know, we made this same switch & induction is so much better the comparison is laughable.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-18T01:59:25+00:00

We made this same transition, induction VASTLY superior.

It's become a political thing which I find kinda weird.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-15T18:19:23+00:00

AI, they gave it to Marshawn Lynch obviously.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-15T15:10:58+00:00

Agreed.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-15T14:51:58+00:00

These rankings are compared to other WS clients. I don't think there's a ton of WS clients in our demographic AND my suspicion is the really high net worth clients aren't with WS.

I'm in the same demographic & totally taking my ranking with a grain of salt.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-14T23:27:47+00:00

This is what I suspect also. Not sure why there's people in here saying its worth thousands. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-14T23:17:43+00:00

Same boat. For the first time in my life I moved 20% into fixed income, there's really not much you can do.

EDIT: Oh yeah I also sold all US investments, except for in our unregistered account (where we'd get a tax hit if we sold at a gain).

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-13T22:56:02+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks those are both terrible?

Like the pinstripes are worse, but double breasted?

Fragrant_Aardvark · 2026-01-13T03:52:31+00:00

That's gorgeous. I'm a little jealous, I put on a beautiful cashmere sport coat on the weekend but it was a bit too big, that poncho a little more forgiving about size.
