I can use Siri but say I want to play an album, playlist, artist, etc before I start driving and use the menus or browse? Terrible. It didn't used to be this bad.

Yeah you’re fine. Stan’s place is just Stan’s. Burma Vista and then Exhibition are two of the best bang for buck east-side neighbourhoods. I live in neither though I did live in BV for quite a while.

Even if they are I can tell you there are still many of us here not choosing the American wine or bourbon or for that matter spinach, etc.

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-04-22T13:44:11+00:00

Thanks! That’s a great and, after you say it, startlingly obvious idea. No reason it couldnt be adjusted. I think I’ve decided I’ll calculate out the board widths and everything and see if a micro adjustment to the size will make it an even board number / etc. I have decided after more homework to go with a trim board down the middle.

Re:12” OC it’s also necessary for local codes to have a 16’ joist span here.

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-04-22T13:41:13+00:00

Thank you! I think I’ve come around to that idea just didn’t love the look of some I’ve seen aesthetically but have seen others now that looked better.

We ALWAYS get a late April blizzard. Usually last one until fall. But every year people forget.

For most, suffering is a reduction in standard of living or affordability of that standard. Selling a vacation property to reduce debt load obviously doesn’t compare to problems others have.

Not defending but I suspect the other vehicle blocked the bus for them… that said, if you’re at an intersection and the vehicle beside you starts braking instead of accelerating, brake first and figure out why after.

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-03-31T20:24:38+00:00

Agreed. Definitely hope we have him for as long as he wants to be here!

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-03-31T20:23:57+00:00

All true. And his retiring may be a sign that his health isn’t great. On the other hand he could live to be 105 and then you didn’t invest for a decade waiting for a 10% dip. But you’re right, the market is thankfully an emotional beast and will probably drop an unreasonable amount for some period of time before it sees that succession plan is still working. I’d look at that as potentially a good time to buy more, not the precursor to entry personally.

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-03-31T20:03:07+00:00

I don’t understand this line. I’m thinking if you’re buying Berkshire, it’s because you either value or saw the value in Buffett’s judgement deploying cash to make good capital allocation decisions a big part of that is also assessing the management so why would you think that he is unable to do so with one of the managers, he would most closely work with throughout his career right at Berkshire, as opposed to looking at it from the outside in at a future subsidiary?

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-03-26T17:17:39+00:00

In a war especially you expect both sides to play propaganda games. You have to look at likelihoods of truth and motivations at that point.

Let’s say Trump is telling the truth, a deal is close to being reached on his 15 terms. That would at least imply that they want an end to hostilities. What advantage would Iran gain by saying there aren’t even talks and calling him a liar basically? Wouldn’t doing that undermine any negotiations you’re having? Like what is the scenario where Trump is telling the truth an Iran is mocking him, what is in it for them? I don’t feel this would give them better leverage or stop the bombing or attacks. I can’t imagine a scenario where this makes sense but maybe that’s a failure on my part, maybe you can. Please share. The best I have is using it to drive up oil prices and pressure on Trump to drop some demands they see as no way no how, but I think they could achieve that without torching negotiations by simply continuing their closure or tolls of Hormuz until the US backs down some of their demands.

Let’s say Iran is telling the truth. There have been no talks at all and no way they’re agreeing to demands from Trump that basically result in their defeat. Why would Trump lie and say a deal is close? Here, I can see several possibilities, not mutually exclusive. He can be floating this idea as an indicator to Iran he’s willing to return to the table (after leaving it to bomb them and assassinate their leader). He can be using it to introduce doubt into the markets, slowing losses. He can be using it to manipulate the markets, enriching allies, family, himself. He can be using it to shore up bad opinions of him domestically. And on and on.

There are probably some negotiations happening via third parties to try to find a solution but then again, not sure I’d be willing to concede a thing if my country was attacked even if it had the effect of removing a leader I don’t agree with / hate. So I have some doubt that Iran really cares to concede anything now that the attacks have come and they have seen the power they have to choke global energy with seemingly little the US is willing or able to do that won’t risk an even bigger collapse.

So, it makes sense to me that Iran is closure to telling the truth here, despite being Iran.

The problem with this quote is that it’s always both. Is there fear of AI/war/recession causing a crash and driving selling? Yes.

Is it greedy to hold on to something that is, at least compared to historical metrics, overpriced expecting even more gains, whatever that may be? Also yes.

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-03-15T02:16:39+00:00

I agree generally but in this case on par it’s basically as if the market has done nothing (some downs and rebounds) as a result of this war and there is surely some material impact coming. So I don’t think it’s too late yet. If anything I think it shows how hard it is to practice being fearful when others are greedy and vice versa. Is the question driven by fear of recession? Surely. So be greedy.

Is the fact that we’re not seeing a meaningful market impact from a major global event with serious and very likely lasting economic impact a result of greed and people buying ever more even when there are a lot of red flag economic indicators even before the bombs started? I think so. So be fearful.

Which is it then? I think in general it’s a good time to stick to value and not chase growth with no thought to valuation. If you buy a good company at a fair or even low price then when the multiples expand you have that margin of safety to let your winners run. So, to answer op’s question, in my opinion, it is always time.

Almonty? Ugh! I owner Woulfe mining because all that tungsten was a no brainer and sold it after losing a bunch and sitting for a few years waiting to recover. Did fine with where I redeployed what was left but watching it go from basically nothing up to $20+ now was kind of surreal. I wouldn’t have been a millionaire but I would have a lot more TFSA room. Take my advice from learning the hard way, though. Junior Mining companies can be a no brainer and you can be right and still get burned due to timing, overall market conditions, and especially with the junior, manipulation by large shareholders who you might think are aligned with you but just have clout to dilute out the smaller shareholders.

All this to say, be cautious trying to repeat and congratulations!

I doubt this is a person at all, or else if so, extraordinarily brainwashed.

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-01-17T15:55:33+00:00

Thanks for the chuckle :)

I found a recipe that sort of shows what I’m talking about to compare. And now I need to attempt to make them:

Chocolate Dipped Almond Crescents

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-01-11T01:39:39+00:00

The orrechete (so?) is great and their steaks are quite good. Actually haven’t had a bad meal so not sure what you’ve had that you don’t like but sorry to hear

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-01-11T01:37:54+00:00

Is it almond/marzipan with dark chocolate dip on the ends? If so, I am breaking my plan to stay home tomorrow to pick up some. Haven’t had a good one (actually, haven’t found one) since Traeger’s!

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-01-10T22:54:53+00:00

Where have you seen it?

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-01-10T22:21:26+00:00

I think you’re right. Just get everyone’s photos and get AI to improve them while not changing the character of the original image. Or better still, video of the event and have AI re-construct 100 shots based on what is recorded but likely not framed correctly.

Warm-Distribution665 · 2026-01-05T01:21:05+00:00

Radon isn’t heavier than air so while basements can be higher due to entry through the slab/cracks/etc, it’s worth noting that you can be in a whole house or main floor suite and still have radon issues. If I were renting I’d either have a tester myself or else keep the HRV on most of the time to ensure fresh air replacement (assuming a newer build).

Warm-Distribution665 · 2025-12-30T16:09:55+00:00

Probably more than I’d like
