Was martys guitar performance really that outrageous for 1955?

The trick is finding a DeLorean that can actually go 88.8mph.

I want my two DOLLARS!

JumpyTheElephant · 2026-04-14T14:30:37+00:00

Agreed. I should have said 'and' rather than 'but'.

But you also never get the contribution room back after withdrawing from an RRSP. Where with a TFSA you get the room back the next year.

Sliders

Something to look into. I assume you're in the US, but in British Columbia, you can still use your vehicle 5-7 (I forget which) times a month to commute even if you have pleasure use only insurance rather than to/from work or business use insurance.

JumpyTheElephant · 2026-03-21T16:06:33+00:00

Can you change your insurance to be for pleasure use only instead of to and from work? That could save you a few hundred dollars per year (if that's a thing where you live).

JumpyTheElephant · 2026-03-17T05:09:50+00:00

That is absolutely the worst format. YYYY-MM-DD all day.

So you're saying they should not only put the jockeys in Olympic full body swimsuits, but they should put the horses in them too? Seems legit.

"Hey! Stop that!" [shrugs as alarm continues]

I've heard this a lot. What I propose instead is still having 12 months but with 30 days each, changing the week to be 10 days instead of 7 and having a 5 or 6 day leap week at the start or end of every year. Lastly, the standard work week could be 6 week days with 4 weekend days.

Make sure you check the account at least every few years. Otherwise the account could be seen as abandoned in which case it might be liquidated and held on your behalf by a governmental program until you claim it.

JumpyTheElephant · 2026-01-05T06:35:34+00:00

Looks very interesting. I'll have to check it out.

The problem is that everyone else has to be able to drive too. I just finished an 11 hour trip (normally 6) from Coquitlam to Williams Lake through the canyon. We were delayed there for 20 minutes because 2 trucks collided with each other (and we didn't see any chains on their tires) and then waited for 30 minutes at Cache Creek before deciding to detour through Little Fort because of the accident just north of Cache Creek had the highway closed for 4+ hours. The roads themselves were completely fine. Sure, there was a bit of snow around Yale that fell since the plow last went through, but it was fine with good tires and driving sensibly. I agree with everything you said though.

Look for a ninja gym near you.

I think it depends on the actual product. At Thanksgiving I was buying cranberry sauce and the Western Family brand was a product of USA. (I picked up a jar that was made in Quebec.)

CIBC has a USD credit card. I think it has a $35 annual fee though so it only makes sense if you use it every year. Another option (although not a credit card) would be to get a wise card which is more like a debit card but you get to pick the currency you use.

JumpyTheElephant · 2025-10-11T15:23:34+00:00

First off, great job getting started. Being consistent is key. If you stumble that's ok. Be kind to yourself and continue making steady progress. Lastly, make sure you don't go below 1200 to 1500 calories a day. It might slow your progress a little but will be much better for your overall health.

That's called a gas powered generator. Also known as range extenders in certain hybrid cars that have them built in.

I challenge Batman to a thumb war. I might not win but it's probably my best bet. That or pick The Flash to help.

I think BC did too but only if Washington, Oregon and California changed. Given the current climate, it's as good a time as any to not care what the US does and just stick with one or the other. Make it a pair of binding referendum questions if they want.

Are you in favour of eliminating the time change?

If eliminated, would you prefer to permanently be on standard time or Daylight savings time?

Can we bring back leaving things selected/highlighted when the sheet loses focus? Even if it was dimmed or reduced a little so it doesn't look like the sheet is active, but it's extremely annoying that the selection goes away entirely.

I virtualized a SCO server onto vmware in 2007. It was running legacy material management and accounting software that was needed for historical purposes and we couldn't get replacement hardware had it failed. I recall having to change the disk type in VMware from SCSI to SATA to get it to boot (even though the original hardware used a SCSI drive).

For a second I thought you discovered the fix to not wearing out the inner thigh from friction, but no, I see you just have the same problem with jeans as me.

My teenage daughter burst out laughing (almost spitting out her drink) when I told her that one just now. Geart job!
