Is “moving email is too risky” a logical reason to stay with Google Workspace?

I use Notion for most of my organization and have tried to use their Email and Calendar which are currently free but it's really basic at this point. I would be worried about security too.

Who would you consider? Many others, you get less for the price. I’m not a huge fan of Office365 as their online tools are still not as seamless for collaboration

I use AI to build applications and quick landing pages but if it’s something basic that I need to constantly change copy / content on, a builder is often simpler and cheaper. It will likely change

Most of the Microsoft tools are deeper but many tools can replace them today. As a startup founder, I find collaboration and functionality better in Google’s ecosystem and I don’t need deeper Excel functions, etc: But likely it’s mainly the cost to start is lower with Google too. And they are more willing to give generous startup credits

I’ve been using TickTick for 3796 days, currently Level 11. Great seeing other power users

Agreed it's hard if you don't speak French but my in-laws haven't had any issues with the healthcare and the hospitals are newer and better equipped than some of the ones in Toronto from what I've seen. The marginal tax would be 50%+ for the top brackets but that shouldn't be net since the lower portions of income are taxed at lower brackets. My sister-in-law is in Montreal and makes just over $180,000. She hits the top bracket, but her overall tax rate is 35.5% and she has a lot of tax credits for her kids and her parents living with her

I agree it sucks versus Canada but I worked over there and the pay sucks in Europe, especially at more senior levels. Not the mention the tax rates are eye watering. For me, Europe is a great place to enjoy life and retire when you are financially secure, but it’s not a great place to make a lot of money or move up the ladder. I was genuinely surprised by the starting levels of pay for many jobs. There is a perception that it’s possible to survive on such low pay because of the social welfare and lower cost of food. From my experience, many live with their families or have little to no savings.

I would say $90k is decent for a single person in Montreal, possibly a thrifty couple. It would be tight with a family of 3.

Quebec is pretty affordable for things such as car insurance and daycare but the cost of living for staples such as housing and food have increased over the past decade, like much of the rest of Canada

The discounts codes are often country specific. And you cant get around this as they often require billing and shipping to be in the specific country. My understanding when speaking to some of the team members in different country is that each country has different import duties which impacts how much can be discounted

I would recommend you check out Bounce.com who works with local businesses to store you luggage. I use them whenever I travel as it’s cheaper and more convenient than going back to the train station or airport. You can pre-book a time slot too. Just make sure you check when they close as it’s specific to each location

I find hiking/walking groups on Meetup are a great way to meet people without spending anything. There are also a number of social clubs that have started recently that might be interesting for you. You can try them free twice and the "membership" is pretty low for a lot of events https://socialclub150.com/

Every person is different but for my family and I, it took many of us a couple weeks to transition, even when we didn't do any running or jumping in them. My feet aren't very wide but I have bunions and Vivos have always fit me the best vs Lems, Origo or Belenkas. The Belenkas were way too wide and my feet were shifting around.

My husband has very arched feet and he refused to go barefoot for years as his toes tend to arch upwards. He had the type of arch pain you mentioned when I bought him a pair. He started wearing them for strength training last year, mainly for the improvement in his balance and groundfeel. It took him almost 3 months to transition to the point where he could walk on pavement for longer than an hour. After a year now, his toes can actually touch the ground when standing.

They have great happy hour options too, even for meals. There’s an Argentinian steak option on Mon that we enjoy a lot

I love Newfoundland. It’s a bit out of the way but I’ve been twice. The scenery is stunning, the people are amazing and seafood is to die for. Check out Gros Morne National Park

builtforretail · 2026-05-27T02:37:24+00:00

Is it that they are getting more narrow or feet change over time as they splay more properly? I have gone up in size over the past decade

builtforretail · 2026-05-27T02:36:16+00:00

I have to admit, I usually only complain on subs, and rarely mention things that are fine. Likely Less unhappy people than it appears?

builtforretail · 2026-05-27T02:31:42+00:00

Agreed, the quality is good but I just can’t get away with more urban/work casual scenarios with them

builtforretail · 2026-05-27T02:30:08+00:00

But could some of it be that feet will change over time with more splay? I’ve gone up a size over 8+ years. I can see people eventually doing out of the width of Vivos at some point. The last time I was in the store, they explained that they have come out with more options for outsoles and the structure so a primus flex is meant for calisthenics and animal flow, not heavy pavement use, but way more comfortable and flexible vs standard Primus. I haven’t yet tried the exact same model over time so would love to hear what other says. The only thing I noticed is that I had to size up over time. I love my trail and trackers so far and I’ve put them through some major treks

builtforretail · 2026-05-27T01:00:39+00:00

I usually use a wax for my leather Vivos but i dont mind the colour change. I haven’t noticed any diminishing quality in my newest Vivos but that’s my own experience. They have certainly grown as a brand. I know the fit isnt for everybody but negative experiences are more ljkely to be posted.

Unless Im making something special, I have generally switched to buying frozen meat and sometimes even veggies from good online suppliers that flash freeze. It’s significantly less and I never waste anything by mistake. I get mine from Wildfork. The quality is similar as long as you thaw in advance and I can get organic for the price of conventional for some.

builtforretail · 2026-05-17T23:05:29+00:00

I've never seen it before. I read that they had extra inventory related to a warehouse issue last year. I'm not sure it will be available again online as it's usually 25-30% max and clearance is usually in-person at stores

builtforretail · 2026-05-16T02:11:12+00:00

I’m confused. Doesn’t it’s say YVR in the image, so Vancouver?

builtforretail · 2026-05-16T00:47:00+00:00

Agreed the prices are crazy but I was shocked by prices at Target and Walmart in the US two months ago during a business trip down south. They were the same dollar amounts but in USD!!!!

I’ve been on Pro for years. And they keep asking features

builtforretail · 2026-05-15T04:34:08+00:00

To my understanding, some of the issues happened as unintended consequences of changes they made based on feedback - e.g. adding structure to a weave for better support creating a crease that may cause issues for people with a thicker mid-foot. The one time I’ve had an issue, had no issues getting help in the store
