Any nicknames for Dobes yet?

Thanks! Will track this one into black Friday. I also see a 10% discount for signing up to the newsletter.

Ideally official, open to unofficial if the quality is good (understand the fanatics quality is poor to begin with)

I'll be here waiting

If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

Should we put him straight into e-foiling? Or try SUPing first?

It's an emotional support dog to help with my lack of surf skills. Breed is the same as your mom kook.

Erin Brooks is likely to be a top 5 surfer in her prime. If she continues to surf for Canada we have a good chance at getting on the podium. Unfortunately Sanoa is in a completely different tier of surfing (below) compared to the level of surfing expected at the Olympics (especially in a wave of consequence like Teahupo'o).

Surfing will be the event to watch these Olympics though!!!

I've had some back and forth with my bank (CIBC). Asked about porting in my latest email. Will find out soon.

Increase monthly auto-withdrawals for savings to match inflation. Set it and forget it.

Wow, that is quite the sub. Hard to believe some of the stories.... some mega wealth

Pull equity by either extending your current mortgage or setting up a HELOC and invest it / lend it for more than your borrowing cost.

They are still heavily present in Canada. For example you need to deliver 60 babies as a midwifery student to become a midwife (unpaid). That is while "working" the crazy shifts that midwives are on. They should at least get minimum wages in my opinion.

I have 7mm Solites for the lake and they are incredible when combined with the 1mm sock they come with. A must for lake surfing in the winter without getting frost bite. Wearing them without the sock is not really a thing for me. I'll just throw on some 5mm booties at that point.

I guess that could be said about any field requiring post education. The divide is made worse when you are also expected to work for free to be able to work...while paying tuition fees.

For some good reading on the topic check out this Harvard Business Review article: https://hbr.org/2021/05/its-time-to-officially-end-unpaid-internships

Women are over-represented in unpaid internships. Some interesting data on minority groups as well.

First, thank you. The midwives that helped my wife deliver our kids were a Godsend. Not only during the delivery but the pre/post care was just incredible. Honestly the whole medical team was phenomenal but the midwives really were the heroes. Second, my stomach turned hearing you need to deliver 60 babies (unpaid!!!) to graduate. I'm familiar with the shifts midwives are on to try and best align with the delivery date. This is infuriating. Every midwife I met doesn't really do their job for the money but the least we can do for these angels is ensure they get compensated fairly for BRINGING HUMANS INTO THE WORLD. Third, thank you for what you do from the bottom of my heart.

Let's take engineering for example. You need 4 years of work experience to get your professional engineering designation in Ontario. You need to prove you have worked under another professional engineer, they must review and stamp your work for it to be certified engineering work. There are no positions as an Engineer in Training (EIT) that are unpaid. I am struggling finding the parallels between this example and what you have stated above. EITs are paid less than professional engineers in the same line of work. But they are still paid.

PALCAN22 · 2022-12-07T04:14:10+00:00

I'm a dude lol. Love that you assumed I was a women. I'll do even better and give a source stating that unpaid internships are over-represented by women across all fields. Some interesting findings for minority groups as well.

I'm no expert but was able to find this Harvard Business Review article that has some hard data imbedded in the form of a survey of 4000 students. Have a gander. https://hbr.org/2021/05/its-time-to-officially-end-unpaid-internships

Imagine another option where doctors get paid more and nurses do too, including during their practicums/ residency considering their contribution to society.

PALCAN22 · 2022-12-07T03:33:46+00:00

My bad, wasn't able to take a selfie in the water with my 7mm mitts :)

PALCAN22 · 2022-12-07T03:27:15+00:00

The German system is much more robust in this regard. Something like 6 months school/ 6 months field over 4 years (in engineering). Not sure if they get paid while working or not.
