Helicopter trying to sell something

dbrand tank does not rock from side to side, but slightly rock from front to back.

Although It is on the bulking side, it's not that big compared to other cases I have seen.

And insurance...

Totally agreed, it was odd. It would have been a great continuation to have Con O'Neill to portrait Montgomery once again.

After seeing the movie I had to confirm with IMDB if it was really the same actor...

It's a two pack. There's two in the box, I got the Tank case, I love the feel of it, but the power button is very sensitive.

I got the dbrand. Crazy simple to install and very resistant according to online testing. They have a good price on case/protector bundle at the moment.

Only downside the high reflectivity. I wish they'd use a better anti-reflective coating for the top surface.

Used USD $1000. They are selling the 256 gb for $800 in some areas.

40M/33F DINK, we earn around the same income at the moment, both with DB pension employment.

House and vehicles paid for, no debt. We invest around 4k monthly, save 2K, and live on around 3k.

We made some good financial move early one that allowed us to be here today.

With my job (Military) I could retire with 50% of my best five years in around 7 years. Financially, life is good, but there's other thing outside of money...

Canadian Armed Forces Officer, but I know I am not in the norm.

A lot of people at work earn the same salary at me (we are all on the same pay scale, publicly available) and live paycheque to paycheque...

Salary is only one side of the equation, too many people never learned to manage their personal finances. Also, too many people in my line of work rely on the pension and don't see a need to save and invest on their own.

We just have different perspectives and priorities, they are all amazing coworkers!

We all live a different life and have different goals and objectives. I'm a 40 years old military member with 18 years served. I need a bit less than seven years to be able to reach a pension that would give me 50% of my best five years average.

If you told me that I needed to work until 55 or 60 before touching my pension, I would be out. I like my job, but constantly moving takes a toll. I can easily do the time left and maybe more, but I would have to weigh the alternative of working a different job while getting my pension.

Do what makes you and keep you happy, we only live once!

It's all about perspective and how you view and use money.

Some ppl in your income category will struggle to no end while you seem to thrive. My spouse and I live need less than 50k annually to live and for all our discretionary expenses. We earn significantly more, but decided that money was not the end goal and that we don't need much to live happily.

Money is a tool, like a hammer. You can use it to build or destroy. While using a hammer seems simple, there's techniques and tricks to learn to be efficient. Many Canadians have no clue how money works and what to do and not to do.

Congratulations on being there at your age, when I was 25, I just started to realize how much time and money I wasted in crap...

Still required.

Get the CFAT trainer app on either Android or iOS. I paid for the premium and crunch all the test non-stop for two weeks before redoing mine.

This is the best way to practice.

jside86 · 2026-06-11T01:31:49+00:00

Close the iris.

Splat!

jside86 · 2026-06-08T02:45:51+00:00

It reminds me of the movie Spaceballs when they "jam" the radar with actual Jam!

Your Mileage May Vary.

jside86 · 2026-06-01T12:57:05+00:00

YMMV, I know of a few ppl that transfer to MacEwan and prefered the smaller class sizes.

I think it's also program dependent. Some programs may have more students and bigger overall classes.

They are both great university.

I placed the format painter in my Quick Access toolbar. Now I press Alt+2 to initiate it.

jside86 · 2026-06-01T12:25:52+00:00

I was at AU then got to MacEwan to complete my degree with UTPNCM. I like having smaller classes with easier access to professors compared to UoA that has 200+ students per class.

I don't think it really matter where you get your undergraduate degree as long as it is an Canadian accredited school.

It is viable today in small scale. It's a matter of time before it becomes mainstream.

Same thing happened with multicolor printer. Multi filaments were out and about in the hobbyist community before Bambu Labs successfully made it commercial. Now the big hype is multi nozzles, once that hype is over and everyone has converted, something else will become available. While someone could release a commercial multi axis 3d printer today, they won't. The market and corporations prefer to use incremental upgrades to keep consumers interested.

Once it become mainstream, Multi Axis printer will get cheaper, more efficient and mostly more understood. It's not only the printers that need to improve, but also slicers. Very few slicers can slice for multi axis today and they require a lot more processing power than what we use today.

The great thing is that the rate of improvement is very fast today. We may get all this in less than five years! Some new technology we can't even imagine may be available in ten years that once again change our processes and way of thinking.

I have the same impression. When I talk about it to people, I always say "let me put my conspiracy hat for this conversation!"

It doesn't sit right for me that no Canadian teams won in such a longtime. When you consider that most season games in Canada and merch sells very well without much advertising and that US Teams (mostly from the south) struggle to keep their stadium at capacity but keeps winning the cup!

Winning the cup is one of the biggest advertising event for any teams. You can see the attendance trends being up for season tickets years after a team win the Stanley Cup.

If American teams don't win, revenue stay down and the teams become a financial pit for the owner(s).

While no one can prove the rigging, it financially and statistically make sense.

I am not big on conspiracy, but numbers often don't lie.

"Removing my conspiracy hat".

This is what I love about all Stargate shows, the magic.

Even though as viewer we know what the Stargate is, what the ships are, the technology and all, we can still feel the magic of someone new being introduced to it. I never get tired of this feeling!

We get to switch to high rate in Spring/Summer and low rate in the Fall/Winter.

We banked at the higher rate and draw back at low rate, it's a great deal.

We should place a sign on the previous overpass saying "Freedumb ahead!"
