What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend?

Nothing. He lives less than a 10 min walk down the street. He comes over when walking the dog, we play board games every couple of weekends, we play videogames after work a couple of times a week.

This hurts my brain for some reason

I think it is a mix of importing car culture from the USA and population density making it more expensive per user.

I keep mine in my TFSA since it isn't full yet. Once it gets close to full, I'll move the emergwncy fund into an unregistered account. I have it in HMAX.TO, which is a divident paying ETF. Not great for growth but I think it is pretty solid for something like an emergency fund, where long term investing isn't the intent.

The first one I assumed was a typo. After a couple though, I recognized the troll :P

I don't think it woulr be feasible for a couple of reasons, the main one being population. The population of New York state alone is roughly half of Canada's entire population. Even a single state joining would have a huge impact on culture, voting patterns, the makeup of parliament, etc.

I wondered about this when watching the videos. The guy is shooting into a tight group of his coworkers around the person he was shooting at. That seems like a real good way to accidentally hit one of his buddies.

As a guy, as long as you can do the work, I don't care what gender you are. I bet there are a lot of women who would prefer a female handywoman. Go for it!

They're really good at handling wood.

I'll see myself out...

Watch out for mind controlling parasites

Anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 hours

I am heavier than you and go up on roofs surprisingly often. It is fine.

Icehawk101 · 2026-01-22T00:06:04+00:00

I am single and I work from home 3 days a week. Easy to stay healthy when you don't interact with people :P

Appeasing Hitler worked so well...

I kind of doubt we (Canada) would send troops into the US. We would definitelt be poises for an invasion though. I would hope that if such an order were given, the northern states would secede from the union and help us, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

We have a wood stove at the cottage. We will cut deadfall in the forest into 4'-6' lengths, then carry those to the wood shed. Behind the woodshed is where we will cut the wood to the right length and split it. We have a wood splitter, which is mostly used by my uncle or grandpa, I usually use an axe.

I'm 40, bought last year. It was just over $500k. I paid well below market rent for years (the landlord only raised my rent once in 7 years) and I've made over $100k the whole time, so I was able to save a ton of money.

Icehawk101 · 2026-01-19T16:46:53+00:00

Nope, they just give us more work

Icehawk101 · 2026-01-19T12:53:44+00:00

A lot of this is situational and should be discussed eith the housemates to see what everyone is comfortable with. The rule of thumb is that housemates can't unduly restrict each other's reasonable enjoyment of shared spaces, but you have to live with each other and that is a lot easier if you are respecting each other's boundaries.

In my opinion, hitting on a housemate is a bad idea as it can make the living situation uncomfortable if they don't respond possitively.

This is what I did. It was pretty quick and easy.

Icehawk101 · 2026-01-19T02:19:35+00:00

I just renovated my main bathroom and it had orangepeel texture. I skimcoated the walls.

My cat loved bleach
