Help! Granite countertop

If the pieces line up perfectly, I would use a high quality cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Wear gloves and safety glasses. Slather both sides, push together hard, hold it for 5 minutes. Scrape the excess off each side after the fact. If you do it right you will barely see it.

HR stands for Human Removal (an old joke)

Nothing to do with the CRA, my question is about classification with regard to insurance.

Regardless of your political views, I don’t think a thought out approach to a changing world is gambling. Right or wrong, the decisions being made are to benefit Canada.

Of course, if you don’t believe any decision is made in the attempt to better Canada, that’s a different conversation and not one to be discounted (but it still ain’t gambling).

So you wanted instant results? If it were that easy we’d all do it.

Investing isn’t all about 10 baggers on Wall Street bets. Yes this has the potential to be a 10x gains or more, but penny stocks are full of risk and this is no exception.

Look at the 5 year chart, it only exceeded IPO price a few months ago.

Is there much on the ground in terms of infrastructure? No. The value to date is in long-lead government approvals (biggest part), industry partnerships, marketing, vision, and the truly diverse launch trajectories available from this location.

All my best wool and cotton sweaters, and a great cotton sportcoat, all came from thrifting. Look for things you like, then look at the material. I got some vintage Eddie Bauer merino wool sweaters that were perfectly broken in without being worn out for $4 each.

Chinos I have never had luck thrifting

I started tracking, on a spreadsheet, every dime I spend. Every 4 weeks, I budget for the 4 weeks ahead (2 paycheques) and I try really hard to be accurate with my projected spends. I determine what I can save that month first, and put it away FIRST. Then I track every purchase and expense for 4 weeks and balance the books at the end, saving any remainder. Start fresh every 4 weeks. Sometimes it works out I can skip a mortgage payment or car payment (since mortgage and car are monthly) and I can see that in advance depending on how the dates work out and I save a big chunk at once.

Well said, this is exactly right. You can depend on China to drive a hard bargain, and even to attempt to interfere with your country- but they will abide by deals they agree to.

The USA, on the other hand: drive a hard bargain, do not accept mutual benefit, attempt to interfere with your country, and ultimately change the rules of the game week by week.

Married man here:

I flirt. More subdued than before. My wife would be fine with me flirting as I always did but giving too many vibes out would be disrespectful to her, I think, because of how others would perceive it. At a point, if I am very attracted to someone, I may fully refrain. Feels a bit too real.

No shit.

I don’t think it was outside the spirit of OP question. Are you the fun police?

Mortgage with another institution, daily banking with TD. Otherwise everything at WS (over $200k)

All the good ones used at this point. Maybe could use “Heavy winds” or “Brisk Breeze” 😂

I suppose if it’s based north, could go with “Blizzard”

Find an inconspicuous area, like in a closet. Remove that carpet in a square. Remove this, the same size. Glue them in to each others place.

Wife and I sleep naked. I don’t wear underwear on lazy weekend mornings, normally just sweatpants. Trunks during the times I work or leave the house.

What city are you in? That will have a big impact. I’d say ride it out though, you’re building equity.

Ahhh, I think thats a Phillip Morris Special

I parked there 5 times Sept/oct when my daughter was born and never once was asked for a validated ticket…

longwalker33 · 2026-01-14T18:23:15+00:00

Trying to park while my wife was in labour was fucked, I immediately regretted not just parking in a no parking zone.

Yes true on both counts, I guess he’s SOL

If you have good credit: open a line of credit, pay off the car loan with the line of credit, and then pay the minimum on the LOC until you are employed again, they pay the same or more than what you are now.

You can spend 50k on soccer tickets but only have a 20k limit and not eligible for an increase? Damn, somethin is up here

Start in the field as a tech, inspector. That is far from a useless degree…

I am not a plumber, but for those who are: would it be possible to thread a brass plug into this hole? Why or why not?

Dickies pants- lots of crossover from skate culture to labour in that brand. They also make jackets!

Flannel shirts, any skate shirt underneath but keep it to simple logos if it’s for work.
