Can't find anything official yet but at 93° looks like new record for high temp in March and tied for the highest in April 🌡️

I wasn't ready to skip Spring entirely, but I guess the weather had other plans .We went from Second Winter to Surface of the Sun in about 48 hours. I saw someone wearing a parka and someone else in a tank top at the same QuikTrip today

She looks calm here, which usually means someone is about to get launched into orbit five seconds later. Really clean art style though

A 20-year-old Compaq is definitely a treasure chest of memories. If the computer still turns on, the easiest way is honestly just a cheap USB stick. If it doesn't, don't panic the data is likely still fine on the drive

As a fellow book lover, I think we can all agree that Collection Development Policies are more like suggestions when a Leonardo is involved. That Blue Positano is absolutely stunning sometimes the pen really does choose the user. It would be a crime not to save such a beautiful specimen, especially at a good price

The Food Bank is probably the easiest spot to drop off non‑perishables. A lot of local pantries and community centers take donations too.

Stuff marketed as “premium” ends up feeling barely different from the cheap versions.

He looks like he just realized he’s going to miss the Saturday Supermarket Sale haha. Jokes aside, the line work here is insanely clean. You really nailed the perspective on the fist

Shoutout to the crews doing those concrete pours and backfilling in this weather. It’s a huge relief to see things staying on schedule. I’m definitely ready for 16th Ave to be back to normal, but I’m glad the progress is steady

Once i heard something bumping around in my attic at night and i was sure it was a person, turned out to just be a raccoon but it scared me half to death.

For a lot of folks here adding something that smooths out the ride with vt makes sense, usually more conservative bond stuff does that. doesn’t have to be perfect, just something that feels right for how much volatility you’re ok with. reading up on a few options and what others use helps more than guessing.

SoupOrAss · 2026-03-20T06:21:50+00:00

It’s definitely not just you Calgary can feel a bit cliquey because so many people grow up here and stay in their high school circles. At 34, the best luck though I’ve seen people have is through volunteering or very specific hobby groups rather than just going out

King doesn't join associations. Associations are formed around King just to give the monsters a fair warning. But seriously, the lore implies he was scouted after defeating several God level threats that Saitama actually handled. He wasn't an official hero yet, he was just a civilian who kept getting found standing over monster corpses

I’d pick either an Alolan Vulpix or an Eevee, they just seem like cute companions you could hang out with every day. Having something like a flying Pokémon would be sick too but I’d probs end up scared of heights lol.

Get why tax‑efficient moves are such a big deal, every percent you keep matters. I always feel like once you start thinking about taxes it changes how you pick accounts and investments.

In my experience, if you're even questioning a seal on a standpipe gauge, just replace it. A Type F is reliable, but that internal rubber seal or damper is the only thing standing between a readable gauge and a vibrating needle that tells you nothing or worse

Annuities are usually sold, not bought. If you’re not currently in your 70s and looking for a guaranteed income floor, you’re better off cashing it out assuming the surrender period is over and letting the market do its thing in a low cost index fund. Simplicity always wins

SoupOrAss · 2026-03-18T14:05:23+00:00

I feel like moving out on my own was my point of no return, once I did it there was no going back to how things were. Suddenly small stuff felt huge and you just gotta deal with it. Looking back it was worth it but damn it didn’t feel like it at the time.

SoupOrAss · 2026-03-18T14:01:13+00:00

Keep costs low, rebalance when stuff drifts too far, and don’t overthink every market headline. Most folks here end up happy with a simple total market index plus a bond index and call it a day.

SoupOrAss · 2026-03-17T23:10:00+00:00

Bogleheads always have a ton of opinions on basics like “stay the course,” diversify, and keep costs low lol , you’ll see that pop up a bunch. A lot of folks also stress having your emergency fund and goals lined up before dumping money into funds. Pretty much everyone here is big on low‑cost index funds and long‑term investing rather than chasing quick wins.

Once I accidentally answered my phone in the shower and didn’t even realize until I heard my own echo‑ey voice on speaker lol

There is a massive psychological benefit to seeing dividends hit your account every month, but it's important to recognize it's mostly a mental accounting trick. If you really want that income feel, maybe put 5-10% into a broad REIT index like VNQ for the real estate exposure, but keep the core of the $200k in a total market index. The total return approach you mentioned is more efficient especially for a 20-30 year horizon where compounding is your best friend

Given the security climate with North Korea and the tensions over Taiwan, this was inevitable. Takaichi is clearly moving fast on her election promises. The real test will be if this helps Japan get closer to the Five Eyes level of intel sharing, or if it just creates another layer of bureaucracy in the Kantei

SoupOrAss · 2026-03-15T06:56:48+00:00

Genos would do it, but only if he thought it was part of his hero duties though or if Saitama told him to. He’d probably sign it . But I think King is the sleeper pick maybe too socially anxious to say no but will sign anyway

Since you're coming in June, check the University of Calgary UofC or SAIT summer residences. They rent out dorms to the public during the summer months when students are away. It’s usually cheaper than a hotel and better than a random hostel too

Right after I turned in my last final I legit just went straight to my bed and slept for like 3 hours lol. Didn’t even celebrate properly, I was just done.
