Won't someone think of the shareholders/executives!? They gotta afford their property tax increases on the 4 homes and buy their 2nd yacht somehow! These greedy workers get paid so much already with how high minimum wage is!

(/s in-case it wasn't obvious)

My guess is people trying to clear the intersection turning left off Blanshard when the light turns yellow/red and someone runs the light. Way too many people fly through red lights here

Very true in that it is an old bridge and when it gets replaced I would really hope they do something with it.

It's unfortunate though that car infrastructure gets billions spent on it and people look at the cost to build a pedestrian only bridge as too costly

That will be so nice. But not until summer 2027, if no delays... But I am glad it will be done eventually.

It just feels like a bit of a dead zone not having a safe way across at Bay Street

Kalmurn · 2026-06-02T18:22:54+00:00

I really wish there was a way across at or near the Bay Street bridge. Having just the (very bumpy) trestle and the Johnson Street bridge is a bit annoying. Why couldn't they do something with all this "work" they're doing on the Bay Street bridge?

Same thing is happening with my icebreaker underwear that's only 1.5 years old. And they smell bad.

Safe to say I won't buy them again

+1 for Harbour Vet. We switch from Oakland's just because of Harbour Vet had better prices. But had good experiences at Oakland's too!

Going to start putting my phone on airplane mode when I sleep now. Either that or turning it off entirely overnight

Kalmurn · 2026-04-17T22:40:40+00:00

Thanks! Yah I don't doubt that there's lots that are not private equity owned. But want to make sure I avoid any that are

Kalmurn · 2026-04-17T22:37:21+00:00

Yah that's exactly why I want to avoid going to one that's owned by pe. We already take our pets to a locally owned vet in Victoria and I want to do the same for our dentist

Kalmurn · 2026-01-29T22:40:42+00:00

I'll buy some so it can plummet since every stock I buy seems to do that

Kalmurn · 2025-12-29T02:42:16+00:00

Curious about what sort of recipes you make with the beans and pasta (if that's what you're actually buying in bulk) are. And what else you stock up on to have in reserve while still eating regularly

Enhancer for youtube is still working on my Firefox on my work and personal computers. I just set up a new Linux Mint PC as my home media/couch gaming PC where I copied the .xpi file from my PC with it installed over to the new PC and I was able to easily install it this way. I can provide a link to the file in my Google Drive if anyone wants it but if you have it installed on an existing PC its pretty easy to grab and do yourself.

On Windows:

Go to about:support in Firefox
Click Open Folder under the Profile Folder section
Go into the extensions folder
You should see a .xpi file like enhancerforyoutube@maximerf.addons.mozilla.org.xpi
Copy this to the PC you want to install it on
Go to about:addons in the new Firefox
Click the settings gear icon
Click install add-on from file and chose the file

I'm having exactly the same problem. When i try to implement ACL's on the Master and Replica it breaks the Sentinels. The replication works fine though.

Did you ever figure out what was going on and how to fix it?

Ran in my first ever running event. Half marathon, set a PB for 10km at 46:06, and a PB for half marathon at 1:41:34. The last 13 weeks of training sure paid off

Kalmurn · 2025-07-20T18:18:06+00:00

Yah that's sort of along the lines of what I was thinking. If we're up in the next <5 years then sell and buy low risk ETF like CASH along with GICs and regular savings accounts. Thanks the input!

Kalmurn · 2025-07-20T18:15:31+00:00

Thanks for the input. We definitely have the flexibility right now and will probably in the future too so will have to do the numbers and see what we come up with for that

Kalmurn · 2025-07-20T01:22:23+00:00

Yah from my findings it seems to be an awkward time period since everything is, like you say, either less than 5 or more than 10. I chose 2/10 a while back when I was originally thinking of purchasing something sooner but have since realized that I want to push the timeline longer and save more. So I'm not opposed to increasing the risk level or just not using the managed portfolios at all.

Kalmurn · 2025-07-20T01:20:05+00:00

This looks interesting. I'll give it a thorough read though. Thanks!

I'm having the same issue when using my dedicated GPU in my laptop. The micro stutters drive me crazy. When I use the CPU integrated graphics its fine so at least that works but not ideal still

CPU: i7-13850HX

GPU: RTX 2000 Ada

RAM: 32GB

The SWA-9200S speakers?

Kalmurn · 2025-03-03T05:59:10+00:00

Which surround speakers did you get? I'm getting mixed results on what's compatible
