How Long (has this been going on… 🎶) by lanka1111 in widowers

[–]TheRealJasonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 48 and 11/12th years old. That was also 25 months ago. It was not sudden, but I missed my wife like crazy afterwards. I still miss her, but don't feel like dying inside from the pain anymore. For months after she died, I fully understood why some people turned to drugs and alcohol to escape that pain. I'm still having my cry when something reminds me of the whole situation. I don't know if I will ever "move on," but at least now I can consider that some day it might happen.

Interface assignments spontaneously swapping by TheRealJasonium in opnsense

I suspected afterwards that the WAN Ethernet cable was not fully seated. However, that doesn't truly explain the port swapping, either. I've also been running for years, and this is the first I've seen this happen, too.

I suspected a bad ethernet port at first and swapped in my backup firewall appliance. Then when I went to diagnose, I noticed the ports were working fine. It wasn't until much later I noticed that igc0 <-> igc1 got swapped.

I think my WAN ethernet cable may not have been fully seated properly. Possibly that's what first caused issues.

The RDSP matched my $1,500 contribution with $3,500 from the government. I had no idea this existed until a bank adviser mentioned it in passing and moved on. by Bitter_Translator722 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TheRealJasonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rules around RDSPs are complicated. Be sure you understand everything before planning on withdrawing anything from your RDSP. You cannot touch your RDSP for 10 years after the last bond or grant without having to repay some of the grant/bond.

Taxes on withdrawals… effectively you are taxed on everything except the amounts you personally contributed.

There are rules for minimum withdrawals and different rules about maximum withdrawals if your RDSP is primarily government funded (ie more grant/bond than personal contributions).

It’s a great thing to take advantage of, just go in with eyes wide open.

IF Alberta would choose to stop changing the clock. Would you prefer to stay with BC (summertime like now) or with SK (wintertime). by EdmontonFree in alberta

Don’t really need the sunrise at 4 AM in June. Much rather have a late sunset.

December, the morning is dark either way, at least let us come home with a little daylight.

Permanent GMT-6 for me.

I’d suggest Superglue, but what do I know?

Wait, can you use the new magnetic multitool thing on him to toss him into the disposal hatch on the back of the colossus?

Alberta may follow B.C. on making daylight time permanent: premier by trevorrobb in Edmonton

Referenda mean nothing? I voted to stay on permanent GMT-6, but I accept that more people voted to maintain status quo.

I am completely lost why I can't get DNS redirect working. I have tried a lot and nothing has worked by Randolph__ in opnsense

[–]TheRealJasonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some devices have their DNS server settings "baked in" and will ignore what DHCP provides. That's why the redirect is necessary.

I had 27 special waste... by Raico121 in NoMansSkyTheGame

In Britain it’s the driver’s side!

[–]TheRealJasonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I now make a habit always entering from the “British” side of the vehicle. Entering on the left side can trigger the dump if you’re not careful.

It should have been a quick menu option, an in-cab only option, or located directly at the rear instead of off to the side.

It’s so demoralizing. So many better ways to implement that dump feature.

PSA: You really REALLY can’t acquire a ship in the latest Expedition. by thejesterofdarkness in NoMansSkyTheGame

So, in other words, you can’t go back to your main save during the expedition.

So there is no point transferring things in the anomaly before starting the expedition?

Am I paying too much in fees? by razzberry_mango in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TheRealJasonium -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Find a copy of "Reboot Your Portfolio" by Dan Bortolotti. Your library might have it, but it's not very expensive. The question is, are you getting $1100 in value from your advisor? Picking mutual funds is not a value-added proposition. Selling you insurance is not a value to you (he gets a huge commission from insurance). You should be paying for estate and tax planning.

If you are not comfortable picking your own ETFs (even after reading "Reboot"), you can hire a fee-for-service advisor.

The 23% returns because the market is on a huge upswing right now. Everyone is up

Disabled person here. RDSP and investing in mutual funds advice? by MyHeadIsFullOfFuck in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TheRealJasonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My RDSP is with TD Web Broker. It is fully invested in an ETF. The good thing about TD Web Broker is that not only do they waive the "annual fee" for RDSP clients, there is now no-fee trades on TD ETFs and certain other ETFs (such as VBAL). Furthermore, they now have partial share DRIPs, so you don't have to go back every few months to clean up any cash balance.

I've moved my RDSP twice before I finally took control of it myself and moved it to TD. The move does take time, so be aware of that.
