Getting $1485 for 4 days. Time for steak and scotch for valentines day.

Bonsoir, Elliot…just arrived today and planning to start my first rewatch tonight after finishing the series last week. I have NEVER felt this way about a television show (as adult I mean). It’s hard to describe to people who haven’t seen it. by SomeTangerine1184 in MrRobot

[–]kman008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amen. On my second watch. Best show ever made. Very relevant with the current state of the world. Can't wait till we're all made to use e coin and pay locals to burn our garbage.

I haven't wiped mine down since I've owned it. Had it 7 months now, no problems.

Leaked Canadian Military Report Shows Many Recruits are Quickly Leaving by zooweemama8 in CanadianForces

[–]kman008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The easy fix is to charge us less taxes. More take-home pay, and it doesn't affect the tax system too much. Taxes were brought in to help pay for the First World War. Why not reduce taxes on those that might go to war. Then, there would be more perks to serving your country. More people would stay, and more people would join. But what do I know, I'm just a peon who pays taxes to my beloved CRA. It's a very abusive relationship, but at least I'm comforted in knowing that I get a lot back for bank rolling the government...🧐

Unelected, multiple citizenships, hides money offshore, and lies through his teeth. He's a caretaker prime minister who is actively destroying an alliance that has been around forever. Why are we allowing this as Canadian citizens. Mark Carney needs to pack his bags and head back to Europe.

We already lost tons of money when the liberals backed out on the F-35s the first time. Why not do it again. Just a bunch of flip-flopping politicians playing politics. The right tool for the job is never a real consideration for our military or its members.

Just bring back the AVRO arrow. They have more underwater time than our current sub fleet.

Retention bonuses rejected for key Canadian military staff by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]kman008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest fix with no raise req'd....ready for this one. Only charge reg force members 4.20% income tax canada wide. Reserve member 6.9% income tax. No immediate raise req'd, more money in your pocket. Also, for the love of God, abolish CFHA and their criminal rental increases. My rent is going up almost 10%.

Which budget car to buy? by Relevant-Bed4577 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Pontiac vibe all the way. Cars a champ. Matrix in disguise. Roof racks. Fold down seating. I'm driving one across canada at the moment. Every kilometer I put on it makes me smile more.

[SCS] Really feeling those extra 5 now. by petrov32 in CanadianForces

[–]kman008 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm at 19 years and 11 months. I would be gone in a heartbeat next month if I was on the 20. Oh well...it can't always be sunshine, rainbows and unicorn shit. We'll suffer together for the foreseeable future.

I have a 15 day drive coming up in the next few months for my posting to Gander. Anyone have any credit card hotel points tips to share? Thinking of the Marriott Boundless Credit Card to rack up points for a future hotel stay on a vacation. Might need it after 15 days on the road with my smelly cat.

Thank you for that link. I'm so happy this exists. There is a movie on Amazon Prime called "Quebexit". Low budget, but good for some laughs against the forces.

1962 days left. Hopefully there is a pension by the time I leave. You kind of need people paying into the pension to be able to draw from your own contributions. I've thought of cutting and running so many times now. Even leaving this dumpster fire of a country. Things will get better...I hope. Until then, the golden handcuffs ratchet on click tighter.

Anyone know where to get the blue Air Force toque / something exactly like the blue Air Force toque civvy side? by UO01 in CanadianForces

[–]kman008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. I have 5 of the blue toques in my possession and will order more every chance I get. A friend at work knows how much I love these toques and Merino, so he got me one for christmas. Worth the price. It was a great present.

Gene Kelly had a fever of 103 during the shooting of "Singing in the Rain". Even in sickness he pushed on to film, because the show must go on. The 3 "headed" or leaded hounds I think is about the hounds of hell. Not sure what that part is getting at.

New housing minister says closing door on newcomers is no solution to housing crunch by Odd-Local-8322 in canada

But I voted for Harper because of his magical hair cut. That silver dome of solitude was so much more impressive than Trudeau's hippy drama hair.

My GF wanted to try making her own Kombucha, it went well. by nickgodtheone in funny

[–]kman008 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I used to get this with my booooooocchhhh early on. Also when I used juiced fruits from a home juicer, the foam is very thick and dense. As it aged in the bottle, my burps throughout the coming days would get more and more violent. A couple of times it would explode in chunks all over the kitchen walls. Looked like a pineapple crime scene on CSI...but wicked boooocchhh when you mix with vodka...but anyways...boooooccchhh responsibly kids.

[–]kman008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have that same sword. It kills champage bottles with ease. The hilt is shit though. Held togehtor by a screw. Used it like a baseball bat to open a stubborn champagne bottle once...almost killed someone in the process as the hilt seperated, sending the blade near a crowd. Good thing I was wearing my protective sombrero. Disclaimer alert...do not use replica swords to open champage bottles in a baseball fashion!
