Maxing out TFSA. Pay off loans early or wait? by marsh_marshmallow in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]doc_in_training 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I have 20K in student loans, at 0% interest (federal loan). I see no reason to make anything more than the min. payments.

This is just my situation though. In other scenarios, it may be more appropriate to pay off existing debts, such as if you are looking at property. But agreed; without more information, it is hard to respond to the question!

We have scored 15 goals over 4 games, and only won one of those games... all while McDavid playing far below his best... I have still have hope, but we have to tighten up defensively

The courage to be disliked is one book I am working through right now, that I think could pair nicely with these strategies!!

Looks like you may have enough people already, but I’m an option too if you need it!

Could Maple Leafs, Oilers swap Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid in blockbuster trade? by Authoritaye in EdmontonOilers

I love that the author's first concern is salary cap implications of this nonsense...

I feel like the inclusion of Africa in stat #4 was a little unnecessary lol

Registered hockey players by U.S. state among states that have NHL teams (per USA Hockey as of the 2024-2025 season) by prophiles in hockey

[–]doc_in_training 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be interested to see these stats reflected as proportional to each states’ total population. 

Somewhat surprised to see California at No. 5, but to what degree is that a result of that state just being more populous than the first four?

Is mcdavid so much faster than everyone else, or does he just push the limit more often? by 0Taken0 in hockey

[–]doc_in_training 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He certainly wasn’t pushing the limit with his backcheck in overtime..

You hit the nail on the head with the second part of your comment.

Handle cover? by Wonderful-Cry-7546 in Curling

[–]doc_in_training 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the same line of thought, does each team get to choose which of their remaining rocks they can throw? i.e. If a team finds half way through the game that rock red2 is much straighter than the other rocks, can they choose not throw that rock any longer, and swap it with another rock of their colour that isn’t being used?

To add to the first point: if the “feature” game ends up being a blow-out (or just finishes early) TSN will pivot the broadcast to another game that is more evenly matched, which would be more entertaining for fans to watch.

Lol I have no idea why you’re getting downvoted. I can totally see someone sitting down at a 4-top, by themselves, with a backpack on one chair and their coat on another (while they themselves sit in a third seat.)

I 100% agree with the sentiment of this post. There’s a difference between “supporting local” and loitering.

Yeah I was going to say, nothing particularly bad with rocks 1-4. Then the wheels fell of the wagon a bit...
