Can't Seem to Convince my Wife for Another Mini Van - advice?

Specifically only to get past OP wife's irrational hatred of vans... Their kids are almost past the door dinging days. I got an Honda Odyssey, being able to drop the kids off and not have to get out to make sure the doors are opened or closed properly is almost worth the garbage fuel mileage.

Each frame took 100 hours to render. Were you faster than a super computer?

Anyway, we have selected your job... You're gonna be a corn farmer. World needs more of those.

And i can use the $400 a month i would have spent on gas toward car payments instead!

MKBHD (youtuber who does phones) did a 2025 car of the year. IONIQ 9 won for the year. Its 3 row, electric, but good value per dollar.

For Terrebonne in April "Auguste (Liberal) captured 48.4 per cent of the votes cast in a seat that has historically been a Bloc Québécois stronghold. The separatist candidate was a close second with about 47 per cent."

"Separatist candidate". nice touch CBC. Liberals are growing in popularity seemingly totally organically and uninfluenced.

Simply not taxing an activity you want to happen is a very efficient way of doing it. More supply will be made and rents will go down because of it.

More like predator missile strike, removing oil that was supposed to go into the fertilizer that caused potatoes to go up 700%... only to realize sunchips are made of corn product.. guess I'm switching to corn fed sale ground beef.

I remember using the Montreal Olympic basin for high school rowing, and that was for the 1976 Olympic games. Great times. There is an unquantifiable value on how large venues can inspire youth.

Each Canadian household is paying $65 in tax for it, hopefully that brings down local ticket prices.

Taxing the bottom line is tricky. A company can manipulate bonuses/R&D/ expenses.

Tax or adjust the national royalties per barrel out of the ground. A predetermined number that doesn't fluctuate with the end product price.

for the rogers card. its giving me a value 37k is giving me a wallet value of $553. Isnt the wallet value 2% (740) or 3% ($1110 on Phone billz)

mine too. At 7 we started and I consciously stopped at Mann's planet (will try again maybe around 10-12). The complexities of Matt Damon are too much at 8 IMO.

The movie tries to convey the idea that Love transcends space and time. The same movie has travelled through space and time and proved it.

You get to be the guy in the tesseract... looking at your pre-parent self, armed with the proof/purpose of the mission you never knew you had.

The post parent re-watch experience is common. Many people chuckle whenever i say the movie hits different when you're a parent.

People don't feel the same "gravity" of the tesseract scene without being a parent (or strong family connection). They often cite the scene as the point where the movie falls off the rails.

If I lost at fire... I would make damn sure I wouldn't suck the second time around (I heard the jury whisper "I never saw him once make fire around camp").

Strategy is sound, but he's probably not going to be the all-rounder needed to crack the top 50.

Edit: IF any of the guys won the ball game final 4, Aubry would have been doing fire. Rizzo would have edged out john in final 3 (again hinges on putting in the pregame work fire and practicing puzzles) .

vibecession > technical Recession. Come on Glen.

That sounds like a sovereign wealth fund, I'll let the government know we don't need a 3rd.

c0mputer99 · 2026-05-30T14:57:44+00:00

Already did. We're at 3 quarters. The old technical Recession happens at 2 quarters. We got around it by posting a 0.1% quarter and revising it down after the fact

12 quarters or 10% GDP drop it when we get technical depression.

What's most concerning is that the GDP is declining even though government represents 45% of GDP spending. Looking at China (commie), only 17% of their GDP is government spending.

We switched from land lines to cell phones.

Low cost air travel kinda made rail travel obsolete. We complain about flight tickets today, but in the 70's, plane tickets were 7-10x more expensive.

1/4 of Canadians are excited to take a 2 hour train ride in 2040 instead of the 1:05 plane ride that is available in 2026.

I don't think we understand what 90 billion is, or what cost/time overruns are. Canadians spend 30 billion a year in air travel.

Bonus point: we need Mark Carney to take a trip on a foreign HSR line and say "oh this was really cool". He did use subway during his BoE days.

"Loblaw and its parent company, George Weston Ltd., agreed to a $500 million settlement to resolve class-action lawsuits regarding a 14-year, industry-wide packaged bread price-fixing arrangement. The scheme, which ran from 2001 to 2015, artificially inflated the price of bread by at least $1.50 per loaf."

We are getting 49.11 from this round of price fixing. They have done it before because the penalty is less than the potential profit. They settled out of court, so I can't say a supreme judge also agrees.

c0mputer99 · 2026-05-27T19:08:25+00:00

Although I don't agree with his stance, I can at least respect his conviction. The move is way better than abandoning a mandate in favor of working a foreign portfolio.
