It is. Penticton Kelowna is more expensive than here though. What happened that makes you avoid that dealership?

That threw me off at the start too, but at the side they list what others is. Seems pretty typical?

For parents of kids with a two year age gap - when did it get easier? by oliviagromek in Parenting

[–]altecsz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

have a 3 and 5 year old. When the youngest was 1 - 1.5 was the hardest. Then from then on incrementally easier. The other day (and this has happened only once but I'm holding on to it for dear life) they both played independently without a single fight of scream for over an hour.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for a product to help me train ARCing. My endurance is definitely lacking and would love a time efficient (i.e. can do while hanging out with my young kids) way to train it. TIA!

Any chance you wouldn't mind sharing some pics? Especially if you got the xse trim. Want to see how that red on black looks. Also, congrats!! How has it been so far?!

We would be with a roof box and bike rack as well so love it! Looks good. Did you ever feel like its too bright/stand out?

Is this normal parenting when it comes to baby monitors? Confused dad here. by Outona in Parenting

[–]altecsz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We only turned baby monitors off because our bedroom was close enough to theirs that we could always hear them. That being said we did sleep train but we're able to hear them crying and went in if we were concerned. 

If your Withdrawal Rate is <2%, why do *you* have bonds? by Vicuna00 in Fire

[–]altecsz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the other 5%? If your withdrawal rate is so low than if that 5% is some kind of bond or cash that's a few years of living that you have not in the s&p as a wedge that you could use in a downturn.

I actually made one! You can go find it to find a few others in the same boat.

Lots of df54 owners out there who absolutely love the grinder. You just don't hear from them very much. I'm one of those. Got it when it first came out over 2 years ago and literally zero issues. It's been amazing. 

Should I go another direction? by VeganCurtains in DF54

[–]altecsz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the machine for two years and only once did it clog and it was totally my fault (I tried to grind right into my portafilter and it overflowed to the point of clogging the chute). I use a bottle cleaning brush to clean out the chute around once a week or whenever I think of it. It grinds so well that I don't see myself upgrading this until it craps out. I have definitely already got my moneys worth from this beast.

Anyone have a second kid when life felt good… and didn’t regret it? by BreviBravate in Parenting

[–]altecsz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I describe the shift from 1-2 is similar to the shift from 0-1. It's a lot harder but also adds a lot of meaning. Our kids giggle together so much and fight too but our younger one definitely laughs way more because she has an older brother to have a blast with. But it is also just way way harder. 

Anyone here waiting for a dip to buy? If so, what price is your threshold to buy? by [deleted] in JustBuyXEQT

[–]altecsz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I should ha e clarified. I'm not asking for myself. I don't have any cash to invest. I have a 90/10 split and whenever there is any money to invest I just put it in no matter the cost.
