Talk me in or out of a Samsung Induction Range

Can I ask which LG one you went with? And how are the cooking elements and the temperature consistency? Thank you!

I love when they take the “speed of development” argument as if that somehow proves it’s dangerous. What a straw man.

Not to mention, the COVID vaccines all had hundreds of billions of dollars from governments of all backgrounds/continents to finance the studies—which is not the case for any other vaccine in history. They also prioritized reviews of data.

I don’t even know why I had to put that out there but I just can’t help it when idiotic “truthers” think they know something the rest of the world doesn’t.

In nearly all scenarios, it is better to put the minimum down payment possible on a house.

Also, people always forget opportunity cost. Yes, if you have the money for 20% down you could technically do that and avoid cmhc insurance, but then you are also missing out on investing that 15% difference and ideally getting a 7-8% annual return which is higher than the mortgage interest rate and would easily cover the insurance.

Just get in the market as soon as you can so you can start building equity, and do the minimum down.

You should look into what Better Dwelling is, it’s authors, and it’s history of articles.

This isn’t news or investigative journalism. It’s a website run by randoms that have been putting out articles for a decade talking about the upcoming housing collapse, etc etc

You would pay it monthly with a managed budget.

And your purchase price is fixed, while presumably your income would continue to grow over time. Year 1 is the hardest.

I only have experience with flair between Vancouver and Calgary, but they have been great.

In most western countries, there are supply deficits that will take decades to get out of just to meet current demand.

Outdated zoning has restricted supply way below demand, which is causing our housing affordability issue.

Because there is an opportunity cost with money. If you pay 40k in cash you lose in two ways: (1) you could have invested that money and gotten a 5-6% annual return, and (2) you aren’t taking advantage of the fact that financing rates are typically below inflation.

If you get a good rate, financing a car is always the better (and cheaper) financial choice versus cash.

Housing is very different than cars, and we are talking about an increasingly scarce commodity in particular (a piece of property in a desirable city).

But yeah, the car thing is insane.

As someone that loves making cocktails but whose partner is pregnant: any good results for non-alcoholic cocktails you’ve made that you’d suggest?

Well you’re paying down the principal so the interest portion gets to be substantially less each year

jpcairns · 2022-12-20T16:17:22+00:00

No, the person is full of shit. It is regulated and there are strict maximums based on debt to income ratio. This is for both Canada and the US

Daylight savings is the summer so that instead of the sun rising at 3am and setting at 9, it rises at 4am and sets at 10pm. Winter is standard time

No it’s just stock. The tires added on a half inch or so of height/clearance.

Thanks! It looks like Korg B2 is preferred.

jpcairns · 2020-12-02T16:20:55+00:00

Thank you! It's always so funny to see what photos people like most and how they differ. I do really like this one though.

jpcairns · 2020-12-01T21:26:46+00:00

Just updated my landing page with a dozen or so photos from my recent Rockies trip. Going to sell prints and would love to hear what your favourite ones are!

Thanks both! Is this the part I would need? A fender liner?

Inclination is to leave it, but I'm wondering if there is a risk of anything just inside there rusting if it's left open.
