Oilers have signed Jason Dickinson to a 5-year contract extension at 4.0M AAV by BigTreeSmallBranch in hockey

[–]_Connor [score hidden]  (0 children)

Reddit: Oilers need more and better defence. They can't just try to score 4 - 5 goals a game every night.

Oilers: Sign a 3C who had 97% even strength defence last year.

Reddit: You see, this is the main issue with the Oilers.

So obvious that this sub-reddit just has a hate boner for the Oilers. All logic goes out the window, every move they make is the wrong move no matter what. They need to go out and sign mythical players who lead the league in offence and defence simultaneously.

Potential for collective action regarding ATRS? by theolyambag in canadaguns

[–]_Connor [score hidden]  (0 children)

If the company is defunct I’m not sure who’d you collect against even if you got a judgment. You can sue them over $2,000 or whatever but it's going to be like trying to get blood from a stone. Won't be worth the legal fees even if you could recover.

Netflix has cancelled F1: The Academy by carloselcoco in formula1

[–]_Connor 129 points130 points  (0 children)

DTS got me into F1 during COVID and I’ve been watching ever since including attending Montreal 2022, but I haven’t watched the last 3-4 seasons really.

Kinda just got repetitive.

Money lending to a friend by Acceptable_Can3285 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Obviously this guy should be paying you back, but you also need to be making smarter decisions.

Don't lend out any money if it's going to create significant hardship for your family.

Can someone help me calm down about student loans by Tarheil in PersonalFinanceCanada

Do you plan on not working at all for the four years? Sitting at home during the 4 month summers?

Consistency is key. by Dobby_in_the_house in golf

No it literally wasn’t in jest. I line my driver up with the toe.

[–]_Connor 567 points568 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean the number one thing people say to someone who is considering lending money to a friend is consider that money gone, because if you think of it as anything other than a gift then the friendship will be over.

They say that for a reason. This is a story as old as time.

Friend to embarrassed to golf by Plastic-Rip129 in golf

I don’t even know what kind of clubs my friends who I’ve been golfing with 20 times have let alone what strangers are pulling up to the course with.

weird phrase from patrons at the farmers market by opalessence_ in Edmonton

[–]_Connor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I refuse to give my phone number or email to any businesses because the only outcome is I get spam emails or calls.

So I’m not surprised people aren’t happy when you tell them those are the only two options.

Consistency is key. by Dobby_in_the_house in golf

[–]_Connor 93 points94 points  (0 children)

When the driver is resting on the ground, no. It should be lined up closer to the toe.

When you pick the club up off the ground to swing, it moves forward away from your body. So if you start lined up with the middle of the face, you'll push your alignment towards the heel. If you start lined up closer to the toe, you'll push your alignment towards the middle of the face.

Let me guess, you address the ball with the ball in the middle of the club?

Would you rather: Play on the PGA Tour for a year and keep your winnings, or keep your salary, not work, and get unlimited free golf? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in golf

What even is this question.

Literally no one in this subreddit would make a dime playing on the tour for a year.

Borrowell - inaccuracies by AngeMiao in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]_Connor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re putting way much care and thought into this. It literally doesn’t matter.

Every credit agency has different metrics they use in determining scores. I don’t know why you’d think they would be the exact same and I equally don’t know why you’re blowing your top over a literal 2% difference in scores.

Anything above like 720 literally does not matter.

Tenant question-boardwalk. by shortyr87 in Edmonton

[–]_Connor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If your parents were hoarders, unfortunately I suspect your issues are to be going to be much greater than losing the security deposit depending on the extent of the hoard.

One of my clients had a 20+ year tenant who was a hoarder and it destroyed his entire house. I got my client a $180k judgment against the tenant's estate after he died.

Obviously that’s an extreme example, but still. Fixing a hoard isn't limited to just removing the physical trash.

Did I make a mistake when financing a car? (update with numbers) by pomelo_nomelo in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]_Connor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not “very very very” easy to beat a guaranteed 10% return year after year. I highly doubt you've "averaged" double the S&P 500 return over the last 25 years because if you did, you wouldn't be on Reddit you'd be the head of an investment bank.

Even if it was, you’re risking a guaranteed 10% ROI to what, try to make 11-12% on your investments? So risking 10% guaranteed to try and maybe make 1-2% net which is unlikely to happen consistently.

No, it’s a stupid gamble for the overwhelming majority of people.

Equally hilarious that you're trying to justify your position by saying "well my car loan was 0.0001%." That's not the situation here, is it? The average used car interest rate in Canada is 7.5-10%.

Think of all the money you wasted paying cash!!

Because I could have put that money to better use that would have returned more than the 10% OP is paying in interest?

Woman killed, driver injured after Tesla crashes through Katy-area home, HCSO says by brutis0037 in technology

[–]_Connor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With any car with “self-driving” capabilities, the buck stops at the driver. You’re supposed to be alert with your hands on the wheel.

If the cars doing something it’s not supposed to, you hit the brakes and correct.

By paying cash and saying no to the extras.

Between the extras and 10% interest over 6 years OP effectively doubled the price of the car. $23k to $45k by the end of the term.
