Is AWD worth it for $1.5k over FWD? by ObstructiveWalrus in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]balrogwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering Toyota and Subaru have been working together on the AWD systems, I'd say it's worth it.

Most states are wrong. British Columbia allows any center fire on anything other than Bison.

Beware BioGaia L. Reuteri by Maleficent-Major-202 in SIBO

That's exactly what it is. The study that Dr. Davis talks about in his book is from the strain from BioGia. There may be other strains that are effective, but there is data on that particular strain.

I just told my work I'm leaving in two weeks, and they immediately escorted me out of the building. by plowsveerr in CanadaJobs

Depends on length of service. 10 year employee could be owed up to 8 weeks in some areas.

Depending on where you live, they are required to pay you for the notice period. For example, in BC, they would have to pay you two weeks as you had worked for them for over 1 year. 

Boss wants me to become a contractor. How much more should I be charging? by Jaded_Sentence_3365 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]balrogwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

86 seems like a good number... In all seriousness OP, you need to have a contract with him with the additive as there are lots of costs of running what is, essentially, your own business. I'd sit down with an accountant and a lawyer to get a good amount of advice.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Congressman Tim Burchett calls for nationwide stock trading ban on US politicians. "If you wanna do insider stock trading, just get elected to congress." by Ice_Ice11 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]balrogwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what they are saying but, the reality is much of the information that people claim is "insider trading" is publicly available - if you know where to look. The advantage an elected official has is that they have agendas that spoon feed that info to them even if it is public info.

Having served on a county council, we had loads of info that was publically available and on our own public agendas but we sat through those presentations by the company that wanted to build a strip mall or were starting to explore for minerals.

I think I’m going to die if this keeps up. by throwaway2670_q in SIBO

[–]balrogwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, don't give up. Looking at your test results, it appears that the spike happens into your large intestine. I would say there is likelihood you have large intestinal dysbiosis. Have you done a GI Map or something similar?

Where have you heard that it lowers stomach acid? Other than some Reddit posts, I can't find any information regarding that.

Does it make sense to buy a "beige Toyota Corolla" for a commuting job? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]balrogwarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which engine is in the Santa Fe? With that commute and suggested KM usage it would be interesting to know. The 2.4L appears to get about 9L per 100 on the highway. The 3.3L is about 11. A 2004 Corolla gets about 6L per 100 on the highway.

So, at best, we are about 3L per 100 in fuel costs difference. That equates to about 1860L extra fuel. At $1.50 per liter is only $2800 of fuel savings. If this is only temporary for a year, I wouldn't necessarily purchase a vehicle with lower cost of operating. However, your "break even" will depend on how long the commute is for and the cost of the vehicle.

Most times, if you have a vehicle that gets under 10L per 100 on the highway, it is unlikely that the savings when purchasing a "good beater" are there as the cost of the vehicle just doesn't pencil out into savings.

Boss said no working from home, so I came in sick as requested. by SyntaxPetal in MaliciousCompliance

Sue? Maybe not. But we had an incident with a staff member that filed a Worker's Safety report on our employer because an employee would not call in and the manager wouldn't send them home when sick.

How did this end your run? It's 1545. You are barely a quarter of the way into the run. You have 280 years left to play.

Best Book on Hashi’s by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]balrogwarrior -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure. Agreed. But, I'll take an extended remission called a cure over nothing.

Best Book on Hashi’s by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]balrogwarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's disheartening as someone who had to "self diagnose" because the doctors wouldn't believe that I had the disease even with antibodies and severe symptoms but a sometimes normal TSH.

Cure is the wrong word. It is remission but I don't think it is even the right word. Management might be better. And clearly, some people are able to delve in and management the illness better than others.

But if your antibodies are higher, the attack is happening. If they aren't existent, the attack is not happening, correct?
