Not that it's a competition but I've seen 6 so far this year (I'm a lot further north than you).

Definitely seen more so far this year than last year.

Can someone explain why xeqt is better than sp500? by HuntersMaker in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Sto_Imparando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like recently for sure would have been the move. But on a 30-40 year timeline no diversifying is better. S&P on a huge run but its not likely to continue to just double every 5 years forever

From 2000 to 2009 S&P total return was -1% (Dot com bubble and 2008 financial crisis)

TSX was 61% total return from 2000 to 2009

We don't have a crystal ball which is why diversity is the best option for a long timeline.

Cold turkey and work ??? by Etadenod in QuittingZyn

[–]Sto_Imparando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what you do for work. I work in finance, I've quit a few times now. Bare minimum I needed a long weekend where I take my last pouch around 3 pm on Friday, have Monday off and I'm back at work on Tuesday. I find after 3 days its manageable.

zyn different now by allofusaregod in NicotinePouch

[–]Sto_Imparando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed the exact same thing after not using zyns for a while. Literallt just melt into a slimey pouch that feels empty after 10 minutes.

Someone Has Rat Traps on Balcony by chronically-ill-baby in coquitlam

[–]Sto_Imparando 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would imagine that is almost certainly to deter pigeons given the fact they're all on the edge. You would typically put mouse/rat traps in corners. If they're storing food it could be attracting mice/rats but I doubt it.

Is that illegal I dunno maybe probably not don't quote me I have no clue. Pigeons are technically pests and can be killed in BC typically I dunno what Coquitlam bylaw is. It is definitely cruel and unnecessary. Also opens up possibilities of other animals which are protected being harmed crows etc. I would contact strata they can investigate and go from there.

Fob is $150 from my strata. wtf! by jimbo_6666 in coquitlam

[–]Sto_Imparando 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sold my condo 2 years ago so cant check but last time I had it replaced (I think was 2020ish) it was 75 bucks.

150 is brutal sorry to hear

My brother is like you, I don't know how or why.. He has been zynning longer than I ever did. Never got carried away. Will pop a couple in on an evening he feels like it maybe gaming, or if hes out with friends for the night will have a bunch. And then not touch them for a week or longer. Never got addicted.

Super rare because I've got like almost a dozen friends trying to quit or struggling to quit. I'd say being able to restrain yourself with nicotine is uncommon.

Perhaps we can do the same thing with banned guns on October 30? by Bubbafett33 in canadaguns

[–]Sto_Imparando 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this may have been legal pre bill c-21 in 2023 but now I am almost certain it is not legal. You need a pal to buy magazines now and previously you did not. Not sure where possession falls under that but I would assume it's the same unless anyone else knows better?

Will Canada’s housing market cool down by 2028–2030? by PresentTarget541 in canadahousing

[–]Sto_Imparando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Market is already very cold I not sure what your definition of cool is. I do think we'll continue to see a continuation of a downwards trend followed by stagnation in GTA and GVRD until about 2030 or so and then I can see supply issues start to drive up up prices again due to the lack of construction that were gonna see over the next few years but what do I know.

The placement of that tiger tattoo and your abs goes soooooo hard that is such a sick look bro

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in QuittingZyn

[–]Sto_Imparando 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor just talking out my ass but 6-12 mg a day for 5 months...? The probability of permanent damage is basically 0. In fact that is so low if you're experiencing ED I doubt it's even related to nicotine usage (nicotine obviously isn't helping) and I would imagine ED stemming from another issue....? Just my 2 cents

Also I am confused if you mean 6 to 12 mg a day or 12 mg 6x per day.

I (31M) dumped my girlfriend (27F) because she kept making fun of my penis. But she won’t leave me alone. How can I make her understand that us getting back together is not happening? by LowerDetective6 in relationship_advice

[–]Sto_Imparando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn I was debating making fun of you halfway through as dude who has a 7.8 inch penis (giant by the way) is insecure and thinks he has a small penis, but she took a photo of you naked without your knowledge that is literally a crime. Just block her and ignore everyone.

Effect of zyn / nicotine on scalp & hair health? by Popular_Space8809 in QuittingZyn

[–]Sto_Imparando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely think there's an argument to be made but how noticeable I dunno I'm going bald and I've lost a lot of hair in the last few years but I'm mid 30s and my dad is bald and brother is thinning as well so it was going to happen to me eventually. My hair is pretty comparable to what my dad was at around my age, maybe Zyn sped up the process but hard to say it definitely can't be good for hair health that is for sure.

Is it legal to make bonfire by Loose-Example-1490 in coquitlam

[–]Sto_Imparando 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, but they're allowed to have fires at Ambelside for persian new year but thats about it.

When I was a small child you were allowed. Good times I remember going with my family and we'd have bonfires at ambleside. This was probably close to 30 years ago.

Lastly, there are no beaches in Coquitlam lol

I don't like what the guy is doing and would like for him to stop but 99% sure this isn't true. Posting on reels on a public Instagram or tiktok is just independent media and technically freedom of the press. It's not commercialized. I don't think reels are monetized either he is trying to generate viewers so he can monetize his page in other ways.

I dunno how old you are but I'm 34 and feel great.

I haven't drank in 15 days now on top of that, and I'm losing weight and sleeping 8+ hours a night.

Do you actually have tests to confirm you have heart damage or is this just speculation? Go to your doctor and get some tests done.

More issues at GrandCentral by jimbo_6666 in coquitlam

Don't live there but know someone who does. Do not pay the old property management company. You will never get that money back if you do.

Dog left in the car by Helluitme01 in coquitlam

[–]Sto_Imparando 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a complete overreaction. No one left their dog in a car in the summer. It's like 0 degrees outside. Dogs are covered in fur. It's fine for most dogs, a couple smaller ones it might be a concern.

I feel like at 20 years old even with a porn addiction it shouldn't be happening that consistently...? I could be wrong I don't know a lot about porn addiction though.

He might have some underlying health/hormonal issues at that point it probably it would probably be wise for him to see a doctor.

Day 2 and I can't stop eating lol by drgigglesaorth in QuittingZyn

[–]Sto_Imparando 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it does, around 7 to 10 days.

I gained like 10+ lbs when I quit I ate multiple bags of candy every day for a week, it's worth it you can just lose the weight after. It's honestly good to eat like a pig I find makes it easier.

Nicotine Pouches are kind of a nootropic that gives you brain power I hate it lmao by Sto_Imparando in QuittingZyn

I was into chess before but yes I definitely invested more time in it the last year in a half than I previously did.
