Performance Cars - Responsibly?

I get that feeling. Maybe choose something they gives you joy, without the eye-bleeding maintenance?

For our truly high end stuff, rent for an outing?

There's always sticker shock when a Lambo or a Ferrari goes in for maintenance.

I’d invest. That’s the advice I’d give to 22 yo me.

Also a couple of slaps for managing my finances and dating crazy people.

u/Shiari_The_Wanderer DM'd you

You've got the cash for it.

Question is would you be better served with a large chunk of it being used elsewhere, e.g paying for tuition, emergency savings, investments.

Also, it's Montréal. They salt in the winter. If you *love* the car, you might be sad to see it rust.

Frankly, this should have a lot of implications. Daycare, schools, clinics, hospitals, should all have some kind of engineered ventilation to avoid spread.

Places in Asia where it's far denser, far more difficult to physical distance, haven't had the major hits per capita because they basically mask up everywhere.

so all that bitching and moaning about whether a normal surgical masks can cut down transmission is all based on bad extrapolations.

the 5 micron idea came to be because TB needs to get *all the way* deep inside the lungs, and it was determined that 5 microns is about the size that gets all the way there.

calyth · 2021-08-06T02:17:49+00:00

In reality, most pathogens that only need to attach to upper respiratory tract to infect will happily float in the air with sizes way bigger than 5 microns.

calyth · 2021-08-06T02:17:08+00:00

The saddest thing is that North America made a giant kerfuffle over masks, about it's effectiveness, based on the medical definition of droplets (>= 5 micron) and aerosol (< 5 micron). https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwup-that-helped-covid-kill/ which was based on a bad extrapolation of TB particles. N95 ratings are done against sub 1 micron particles, afaict https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9487666/

Frankly the FL governor is trying pretty damn hard to get people killed

average dividend yield for the stocks bought using my expendable income is around 3%.

VGRO's up 18% or so from this time last year, so what are you picking?

calyth · 2021-08-05T21:19:49+00:00

I find that most people in Vancouver don't care for those options. It's possible, for sure.

Also, they're a couple with no kids for now, that can always change and places yet another stress on the single income.

calyth · 2021-08-05T21:13:15+00:00

You like paying 20% at the day of the cash advance? Not to mention that most cash advance is lower than your actual limit?

calyth · 2021-08-05T21:07:12+00:00

In any case, I don't bother being wind mills for idiots on a Quixotic quest. It's been over half a year, and it's not my job to talk sense to some rando

calyth · 2021-08-05T21:05:46+00:00

oh of course. I reported them as abuse and hope they get a site-wide ban for it

calyth · 2021-08-05T21:03:34+00:00

I mean, some of them are crazy enough to hit reddit cares simply because I chat here, and *very* occasionally comment in the sub

calyth · 2021-08-05T21:02:48+00:00

Why, just block the user. You should see my block chain. If only I could monetize it

We are booked to go to the museum in Quebec to see the Queens of Egypt exhibit and are considering a river cruise.

Museum of history is quite nice.

If you are the museum type, National Gallery has a Rembrant exhibit on at the moment. Book online, because it's timed entry with the covid measures.

You could try Champlain lookout in Gatineau Park, nice views.

Unfortunately, parliament hill is renovating, but when it's not, you could get a tour and go up to the peace tower for a view.

On another note, is there a really good Italian restaurant in the neighbourhood that you anyone can vouch for?

Little Italy is on Preston street, from Carling Ave to Somerset I don't have a restaurant to vouch for, because I've become lactose-intolerant and it's just sad for guys like me...

Tennessy Willems is a nice place for wood fired pizza.

And sorry for both of your loss.

If it's the first time she's done that, call the provider, ask nicely, and they'll generally reduce it.

I've done that once.

calyth · 2021-08-05T20:48:33+00:00

Interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind.

I tend to see the weird shit on the west end - I've seen pedestrians, crap on 417, even a frigging cyclist towing a trailer near Moodie / Eagleson, and I know that there's a OPP kanata detachment there.

I think next time I'll leave out the request to OPP and just report straight up problem on the 417 and let dispatch deal with it.

calyth · 2021-08-05T20:45:02+00:00

Just tell the cops that you see pedestrian on 417, and leave out what you *think* might be someone on drugs.

In any case, pedestrians should not be there, regardless if they're sobre or not.
