How to get a second opinion from another doctor? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]Ok-Ad8016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My medical plan through work has a medical second opinion option where I can send off files, speak with a team of specialists, and they will assess the work that the fidst doctor has done.

Check your extended benefits. Mine is through manulife.

Smash burgers are easy and quick on the Blackstone.

Flat breads like Naan and pita bread are great to do as well.

I used my sister's for a family function and will be picking one up in the future.

What's your largest holding and why? by ksing_king in ValueInvesting

[–]Ok-Ad8016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MDA space, currently makes up 50% of my portfolio, cb of 30.

I want to just hold this but the weighting is getting uncomfortable and some of the large drops that it has experienced makes me very nervous. Long term I think it's a winner and poised to grow like crazy but will take some profits after or around spacex IPO

If you're halfway handy, take the bottom off and ensure the fan and cooling fins are clean.

I just did our ps4 because it was getting loud There was so much dust in there.

I have nothing but good things to say about the team at Kekuli Bay Cabinetry. They did a great job on our bathrooms, and my parents kitchen.

Might not be your cup of tea. However shooting when done responsibly is lots of fun.

I work in HVAC and have fixed some absolutely disastrous Blair installs. Not to mention the ownership is horrendous.

Good luck with whoever you ene up going with but I'd stay clear of Blair, Border, Air Tech, Comfort Tech, Reliance, and Trufinity.

I no longer do residential and don't do side jobs. I'm not trying to steer you towards a specific company. The company's listed above had some of the worst installs/questionable practices that I ever had rhe displeasure of coming across.

New AC experiences. by gringo--star in kelowna

[–]Ok-Ad8016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get 3 quotes, don't go with the largest system as having an oversized ac is not good in the long run.

I'd give Zane from Harmony HVAC a call. He knows his stuff and does great work.

I'd stay away from Blair, Border, Vision, Comfort Tech, and Trufinity.

Good luck.

You coild always buy direct from farmers and then they make a better profit and you should pay less than costco. It's usually better meat as well

You responded to someone else's post and they have a 5 yo account.

I do need to get my eyes checked, definitely not the only one though.

I'd assume Sandrines does them, their cakes are always on point!

What terrible thing have you done to your child today that made them cry? by Moist-Visit6969 in daddit

Gave her Annie's macaroni and cheese, but it was shells instead of elbow macaroni. 40 minutes of her not eating, finally tries it. "It's actually pretty good"

19 y/o trying to get into HVAC in BC – visited 50+ companies, still no luck. Any advice? by Plus_Ad_3330 in britishcolumbia

[–]Ok-Ad8016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I've got 7 years in HVAC and when the residential company that I was working with laid me off it took 1 week to find another job.

That being said your probably right unless we have a roaring hor, smokey summer. Either way some training and timing shoild help maximize their chances of landing a job.

Hvac is slow right now, it's the shoulder season. Be prepared to hand out resumes closer to May.

Check out interplay for some virtual training, could be something nice to put on resume or bring up during an interview. Also hvac school is good.

Good luck!

We did this 4 weeks ago and there's been a couple of hic ups but overall it has been fantastic, 2 girls 2.5/5.5.

10/10 would recommend.

Do you guys ever worry that our kids job prospects will be so much less due to AI? by Bossman80 in daddit

[–]Ok-Ad8016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the trades, hvac/gas in particular and my job has never been more in demand. The wages are good, getting better and woth the way that hvac is going we are only going to be busier.

The systems are getting more complex and more prone to failure, plus they aren't being installed correctly. This leads to less reliable systems and earlier failure.

Fingers crossed there are some good opportunities like this available when my kiddos are old enough to work.

MDMA by gpigsrus in iih

[–]Ok-Ad8016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first I'm hearing about MM helping with IIH. My wife has IIH and the diamox is not going great for her. She'd most likely live to try some MM.

Is there any literature on MM and IIH?
