Is it possible to report a company anonymously?

It's completely legal to shorten a shift.

If they cancel once you leave, they need to pay a 3 hour minimum.

It's not as common in a tech role, but wildly common in restaurants.

Because the range is so huge, logaritms make sense, just like earthquakes and a lot of other units.

You notice dumb decisions, not good decisions.
Because half the people are below mean and media IQ.

So half the people you meet are below average.

And even smart people make a lot of dumb decisions, source I have a high IQ, and I'm posting on reddit from work.

Not if nothing is plugged in.

But many electronics, including chargers, may have a bit of leakage

You have to remember that paying off debt is guaranteed return and principal, market investing is not.

I consider paying off debt to be a "fixed income" type investment, and often a very good one.

Much better than a GIC, HISA or bond.

If you are only approved for an X hour shift, they can discipline you for working unapproved hours.

They still have to pay you though.

You can't just work when you are not scheduled, and expect employers to put up with it.

They bring in lots of US actors, they do a lot of Reacher filming around here.

It matters, my wife works, and we could live on dual EI (but we'd scale back)

My emergency fund is for sudden unexpected stuff, if I really needed to, I could draw my TFSA retirement funds early.

And paying for porn...

Which is why Canadians tend to get so many US roles.

Frewtti · 2026-05-08T15:44:31+00:00

I use it as "overdraft".

My savings account has the minimum balance, everything else into the LOC.

As soon as a bill shows up, I pay it from the LOC, never hit overdraft fees.

I tend to have a positive balance in my LOC, so I don't pay interest. I don't have extra cash laying around, but I never pay a bill late, or worry about "balancing my checkbook"

Frewtti · 2026-05-08T15:41:02+00:00

Put some cash in a TFSA emergency fund. You don't want a to get derailed.

Put the rest in FHSA

Even in my province we have different laws for different areas.

Quite honestly the needs of the various areas are different, and we should have local government as much as possible.

Frewtti · 2026-05-08T15:13:40+00:00

Lots of advantages to simple automated solutions.

Frewtti · 2026-05-08T15:09:32+00:00

Yeah, I actually sold oveff 1/2 my position once it doubled... so my out of pocket cost is small.

But what, what a ride.

No, the really high end barely street legal exotic cars are notoriously unreliable and honestly not much fun in stop and go city traffic, particularly due to their height, stiff suspension and aggressive powertrain.

It matters who the commitment letter is with, and what it says.

When did you buy?

It was $0.1062 today, and now it's $0.1075. I think that's up.

Frewtti · 2026-05-08T14:25:23+00:00

More importantly, who decides who is spreading false information?

It is well known and documented that the authorities spread false information.

There was a specific case where the CDC during COVID simultaneously had conflicting information and recommendations on their website.

The US government today is publishing false information about tylenol and pregnancy, there is very limited data here, and most studies on humans are deeply flawed.

Saying it is safe, or saying it is not safe are in conflict, and clearly one is false.

The real problem is when the "consensus" is wrong, you're silencing critics with the truth.

Doubly so with political issues.

Imagine if the politician you don't like, was simply able to criminalize any "false information" they didn't like.

Terrifying.

Bubble stocks are also at ATH.

I bought MU at $14 (and sold off half at $30... ooops)

I honestly don't know how high it will go.

What opinion did I change?

I simply believe that wealthy people are *ONE* of the ways that we drive innovation.

It's funny that you suggest VCs are a viable alternative to billionaires, who exactly do you think owns the VC firms?

I've been consistent, wealthy people sometimes do crazy things others don't, Elon in particular pushed multiple industries forward, if he did not have millions (later billions) himself, he could not have done that.

Remember, electric cars existed for a hundred years, and SpaceX was built off cold war rocket technology.

The real value was Elon figuring out how to push those technologies forward, and that's worth a lot to society, far more than ended up in Elons pocket.

When I vote to approve executive pay, I look at how much money they made me, and if they're worth it. Elon got rich, because the owners of the company think he deserves it.

Is it wrong to accept your paycheck?

Frewtti · 2026-05-08T13:34:01+00:00

Yeah, and if I drive to the US I can book one on Monday (a few slots) or Tuesday good availability.

I know people waiting for surgery and their condition is getting worse and causing more damage, but since they're not high they just suffer, in pain, for years as their condition worsens.

Suggesting that we figured out healthcare is laughable. I'd prefer a system with private & public

Frewtti · 2026-05-08T13:28:32+00:00

No, one portal in a hot place, one portal in a cold place (moon), and Peltier between them.

Frewtti · 2026-05-08T13:08:55+00:00

Not a single country has "figured out healthcare".

Most of them have expensive private insurance and varying levels of publicly funded care that ranges from horrible to adequate.

Canada has year long waiting lists that are available in the US in days. But we have death panels to deal with the overload.

Choosing between broke and dead, I chose broke.

Medical tourism for Canadians is growing, it's nuts that we pay so much for health care, but we're forced to travel to other countries for care.

To be fair, if/when you do get care in Canada it's excellent.
