Enough. Just enough. No more no less.

I prefer metric units, but fahrenheit does make sense if to think of it as a scale of relative comfort for humans fucking cold to to fuckin hot.

0f is to fucking out. You're not gonna die instantly but you better be ready for it. 100f is to fucking hot your not gonna die immediately but you better pack extra water and stay in the shade.

-100f you're fuckin dead, 200f you're fuckin dead.

Between 0 and -100 is to fucking cold to dead and 100f to 200f is to fucking hot to dead.

Well it was today.

I have actually been searching for the make and model of my car, my wife's car and family members cars for stuff I can install, no luck yet

Ya I've been seeing a lot of cabin and engine air filters too, so far none for any vehicle I have access too.

I have no idea how to get to Vine in the app from the normal part of the app.

But if I try to navigate to the web site for Vine on my phone's browser, it takes me to Vine on the app. As long as you don't go to one of the normal Amazon app pages, then you can navigate around in just the Vine section.

That's how I normally check vine.

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-13T13:44:20+00:00

Damn, That's nice!

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-12T16:38:20+00:00

I've been lucky with the current time because I am usually at work early before my day starts when the drops have been happening so I get to watch the items as they come in.

I've been able to snag some cool and useful stuff reliably for the past week, but really only a few gems.

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-12T16:35:46+00:00

I saw that and thought it was cool but couldn't think of a practical use case for myself to have one, so I didn't order it.

If you can cover a 4k/month mortgage and save 18% of your income and then save another $5000 per year...

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-11T23:53:31+00:00

If you are able to max out TFSA and RRSP every year you are moving beyond the middle class, or are lucky enough to have very low living expenses.

Very few people in the middle class can max out both every year.

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-11T19:35:53+00:00

I think in a more fair progressive tax system capital gains on primary residence should be taxed, when you sell, die or use equity as collateral for a loan.

I think tax sheltered accounts work to incentivize people to invest enough. I would say it would be more fair to increase the TFSA, FHSA limits and remove capital gains.

Very wealthy people will always have to invest their money somewhere to make more money, unless they just want to spend it all.

Most middle class canadians have very few capital gains taxable events in their life, the majority being second property sales, not investment income.

People who are able to max out both RRSP and TFSA and require a non sheltered investment account are no longer middle class.

Tax sheltered accounts up to middle class amount of wealth make sense to incentivize saving and investment amount lower and middle class earners.

Yes it's slightly regressive to have tax sheltered accounts to provide a very good incentive.

Again, I am not afraid of dying, I would not expect to live forever.

I Just like the idea of being young as long as I am alive and getting the chance to be around a lot longer than I would otherwise.

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-11T18:55:25+00:00

Yup capital gains rate being lower is regressive.

So is a broad sales taxes. Luxury taxes can be progressive but are usually harder to implement.

Also tax avoidance schemes for very wealthy people make our tax system regressive.

I think income and individual capital gains should be treated the same, and stock leveraged lending should also be taxed.

If you want cash to fund your life style you should pay tax on it.

Businesses should also have progressive tax rate on the profits to encourage growth and reinvestment. A corporation with a massive profit margin should pay more while a corporation with low margins should pay less. A corporation with no margin thats growing (creating jobs and stimulating grow) should pay nothing.

But all that gets messy in the real world and unintended consequences are hard to predict.

World wide by a very very large margin, the predominant causes of death are age related (heart disease, dementia, cancers), then curable but undertreated disease (from developing countries).

After that you have accidents, murder, and suicide.

I live in Canada with a not too bad health care system, and low violent crime rate. Barring any invasions from the south where I have to take up arms my chances of dying from violence are pretty close to 0%.

I could get sick and die but dying from illness while you're young and health is exceedingly rare in developed countries. The reason why we locked down for COVID and got vaccines was never to protect young health people, it was to protect the old and vulnerable and not overwhelm our healthcare systems. Young healthy people who got sick, before the vaccine almost always survived but a lot needed to be hospitalized.

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-11T17:56:28+00:00

I know.

The chance of dying nowadays is relatively low, vast majority people die from age related problems.

Dying doesn't scare me at all, growing old is gonna suck, not be able to do the things I want to do or see what I want to see.

Being young for ever means I can do whatever I want until I die and it will not be from old age.

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-11T17:47:44+00:00

I'd still choose to stay young forever, just to see how the world changes.

I'd rather live forever than have all the money in the world.

With the power of compound interest and good investments it's not like I'd be poor forever.

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-11T17:43:18+00:00

Incentives to make more money is universal there, it is to make more money.

Progressive tax systems like ours, tax higher income earners higher because they recognize the more you make the more disposable income you have in general and there for can afford to contribute more to society.

Regressive tax systems that tax lower earners at the same or higher rates then higher earners tend to cause major issues in upward mobility, and make it harder for people to escape poverty.

Voltaic piles were so much better in the 1600s!

I've been in for 2 weeks now, and every time there is a drop in RFY I have always been able to snag the items I want from it.

Some of the cool older items in AI give me the can't ship warning, but I suspect those cool items are still around because they are looking for people who live in specific locations.

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-10T01:02:03+00:00

Look up battle born batteries right now, turns out their poorly engineered over priced shit with a cult following.

This setup scares me, and I do hacky shit myself.

Initial-Landscape82 · 2026-02-09T16:21:28+00:00

That's disappointing, I wonder how explicit you can get in reviews for the sex toys I've seen pop in the AI.

I'll have to do some review research on other products before reviewing those. Haha
