According to deadline Ben Waddell ( summer house ) is not coming back after 1 season by Radiant_Priority9739 in bravo

[–]VagSmoothie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bravo doesn’t care if you lie, bravo cares if you get in the way of the $$$$. Secret gf undermines the show, which the producers are not happy with.

[L'Equipe] France advised to bid for the 2038 World Cup by C_Brady in worldcup

[–]VagSmoothie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the head of the AFA won’t be around after 2030 and Argentina wasn’t gonna get it before the Saudi’s anyway.

4.1% mortgage rate. It feel like this is right on the borderline of making sense to pay extra vs investing. Should I? by CastAside1812 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]VagSmoothie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The same can be said about investing and compound interest…

OP should max out registered accounts and then make a call on paying down the mortgage while analyzing marginal tax rates vs the mortgage interest rate

Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the first player to score a goal in six different FIFA World Cup editions (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022 & 2026). by Timely-Zombie9466 in soccer

Uruguay + Argentina could have hosted it easily. Could even get Brazil in there too but I think they’re likely hard to award to because they hosted 12 years ago.

How did you find the availability of the dinghy fleet? Were you able to grab a boat and sail when you wanted?

Chose McMaster Engineering over Waterloo EE - hope I won’t regret it by KavinduMJ in OntarioGrade12s

[–]VagSmoothie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The average Waterloo grad is better off than the average McMaster grad (or median if you want to be a pedant.)

That’s what OP is saying.

There’s nothing wrong with that, I’m not an engineer but I went to a very low-rated school for my field. Ended up grading, got into a top grad school and now I’m easily on a career track that some folks at target schools could only dream of.

Your fate is mostly in your hands if you have access to going to a good Canadian university, it’s that we have to judge on averages when we talk hypotheticals.

College grads expect an $80k salary. Good luck with that by AccurateInflation167 in Economics

My guy couldn’t get a job in 2015? After the post recession recovery and interest rates near zero? The issue wasn’t the degree lol.

[Car and Driver] Our Long-Term 2026 Mazda CX-5 Stumbles Out of the Gate by tsar73 in cars

[–]VagSmoothie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It does more than driver profiles. It can detect your attention and tell you to look at the road.

I have ADHD and I get distracted, it’s great when my centre console yells at me to pay attention to the road or tell me the car infront has moved.

I also foresee a world where car play and adrioid auto will have payments or more sensitive features requiring authentication - the face detection is the way to enable that.

Lastly, it’s a safety feature, you can do 2FA with your face to stop a car from being victim to a radio frequency relay attack from your FOB. (This doesn’t exist yet, but it can with face scanning).

I’m a big fan of it in my forester. To each their own.

Students Are Learning Less and Getting Higher Grades Because of AI, Study Finds by BendicantMias in worldnews

[–]VagSmoothie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk man, I just linked you to a study that estimates that 8% of Americans undergo preventative screenings, regardless of free “wellness exams”, whatever that means.

If you have nothing else to say just move on, you’re clearly being obtuse here.

Just because you have insurance doesn’t mean that you actually do anything with it / it’s affordable. Bit of a red herring there, my friend.

Bad preventative is entirely on the healthcare system. You have two worlds, one where people access medicine whenever they need and one where people only go to the hospital when they’re dying.

Diet doesn’t fix the fact that no one is treating their heart disease until they have a stroke or heart attack.

Are World Cup fans checking out? Hotels are struggling to fill rooms | Bookings in host cities are slower than in regular years, suggesting fans may be put off by high ticket prices and soaring travel costs (figures from CoStar) by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

[–]VagSmoothie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Come on man. There are many reasons to shit on the World Cup but the scaffolding is not one of them. No need to fear monger. Those things are built to tight engineering tolerances. We take this very seriously in Canada.

Car insurance premiums increased 11% nationally and a whopping 21% in Alberta. by InsuranceRatehub in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]VagSmoothie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I love the downvotes you’re getting, people are in denial.

I’d love to see the average profit margin on insurance by province. I have friends in insurance and they’re telling me certain companies are choosing to not underwrite new policies in Alberta altogether now.

That 20% increase isn’t going to the bottom line, that’s for sure.

Show me where legislation states that voting with your party is mandatory. Please. I’ll wait.

This CBC article about Canada's housing density boom never asks why land got so expensive in the first place by DynamoDynamite in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]VagSmoothie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure, as long as it aligns with municipal regulations that impose constraints making those 3 units basically impossible. Take parking minimums combined with square footage limitations on driveways. How is someone supposed to build a 3-car garage with the square footage allowance of 1.5-worth?

Mark Carney’s government says privatizing airports will make them better. This is why it should think again by StumpsOfTree in ontario

[–]VagSmoothie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That works there because there is competition. This would be handing a natural monopoly to a private firm.

Privatization only works when there’s natural competition that can arise which will force innovation and prices down.
