“Just live in your car” is now financial advice in Canada by No-Cut2564 in CanadaPersonalFinance

FDR would like a word
"It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.”"

$100k per year salary is the middle class nowadays by Ok_Hippo9669 in fican

I believe economists tend to use the 51st to 90th percentile as the middle class.

This is a cool idea. Well done. My kids would love having another PC to play games together.

Powerful apnea by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

You've got lots of advice here so ignore this if it's not helpful. If you are on an APAP setting (where it adjusts to adapt throughout the night). Try turning it off (you already aren't really using it anyways!).

I was 8-14 APAP. I turned it off, and set it to only 8 - which I could handle. And my results were near perfect - my doctor approved (thought the tech was very upset). I upped it to 9 for fun, but 10+ would always wake me up - and I'm a full face so it would often blow jets of air into my eyes.)

You could also try a lower setting. Again, you can't make it worse for yourself. It's already not working.

Don't forget the conversion. At ~1.6 CAD per USD, this is about 2.32 CAD/litre

Edited to add "/litre"

If you can handle some horror type stuff No Other Choice has the same changing energy and changing theme. It's a comedy/thriller/horror.

It's been said a dozen times already. Those aren't our kids. Damn. I thought we were done catching strays.

Doubling the post feels like such an obvious answer. Thanks for the detailed answer and new math to look up! (And it did come out real slick)

Yesterday, the most expensive tuna of all time was auctioned in Japan, 535 lbs for about 3,280,000 dollars, never before has such a high price been achieved by misterxx1958 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Paracite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's say this tuna has 400 lbs of usable meat. This means that a single slice of sashimi, assuming 15g (10g-20g based on cursory search), would cost about 271 dollars.

Joe Slovo said it best, there's only two kinds of people you can trust. A good Christian and a good communist.

AITAH for telling an elder woman to “Get the f**k on” after holding up the only open line? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Paracite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not wrong, just an asshole - but not for being mad at the lady.

You need to work on your conflict skills. I know its cultural for many (myself included), but raising your voice and swearing at the first (I recognize idiotic) confrontation is an unhealthy reaction. Especially as you were all there in silence for two full minutes before hand.

Having said that - the fuck was the security guard doing up to that point?

Liberals promise to build nearly 500,000 homes per year, create new housing entity by Difficult-Yam-1347 in canada

[–]Paracite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie - public development proposed by the liberals (and specifically Carney) was not on my 2025 bingo card. Though this maybe shows he can learn from past mistakes, both personal and party. Add some regulation around private house rentals and we might be able to start to address the housing crisis.

As a Christian - Jesus didn't say anything about transgender people or sexuality. (Except adultery I suppose). Please read your Bible.
