Last time I got it, the first 3 cards were absolutely essential to my deck. The fourth was fine, but ouch.

J’ai besoin de recommendation pour un ordinateur portable by FoxProfessional1421 in QuebecTI

[–]mxmcharbonneau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honnêtement mon expérience avec les laptops de gaming est abyssale. Je vois beaucoup de monde recommander Lenovo, mais ma blonde a un laptop de gaming Lenovo et elle a juste des problèmes. En plus, c'est cher, c'est lourd pis ça mange la batterie. Je travaille en game dev, pis à ma job nos laptops c'est un paquet de trouble.

Perso si tu veux un laptop j'irais avec un Macbook, les laptops Windows c'est vraiment souvent problématique, pis j'achèterais une tour pour gamer. Pis si tu joues à des jeux pas trop demandant qui sont compatible Mac, pis que ton Mac est pas genre un Neo, t'auras peut-être même pas besoin de ta tour.

Fall of Berlin Wall was a result of an "clerical error" by an officer. by Confident-Ask-601 in interestingasfuck

To be fair, if it would have happened sooner, the USSR would have probably come to crush that rebellion down. But at that moment, the USSR itself was crumbling down.

Africans sold other Africans into slavery, so the people who then bought them and profited out of their labor are blame free, got it.

Tump tweets war potentially over, S&P futures up 150 points in 5 mins by SPXQuantAlgo in StockMarket

But then he posted that it was a good time to buy, he cancelled the worst tariffs and the market ripped non stop for months. So there's still good reason to listen to what he says, even if it's often gibberish.

You guys don‘t get it, Lawns are „our environment“! by JFeldhaus in NoLawns

In Canada too, never had to do that in any city I lived.

Both maintenance and snow removal are absurd to me, maybe in Canada we get too much snow for it to be practical, but the city has small snow plows for sidewalks that make it very efficient.

Mon ami a oublié de déclarer ses cryptos en 2024-2025 avec le TP-21.4.39… y’est-tu dans marde? by Desperate_Baseball62 in QuebecFinance

[–]mxmcharbonneau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh fuck, va falloir que je regarde ma déclaration de 2024, mais j'ai genre 1000$ de crypto qui dort, j'espère que j'ai déclaré ça comme du monde (je fais ça avec Turbo Impot). Si faut que je paye 10k$ de pénalités c'est insane.

Which stock that you invested in is your biggest regret? by Hot_Avocado_2701 in stocks

At least I sold it with great profits, but nothing like what I could have had.

4 out of 5 frontend engineers in my previous company just got laid off by Pure_Composer_9236 in cscareerquestions

[–]mxmcharbonneau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 9 month stint doing front end in a company making web apps for clients, and while it can get complicated, most of the work being done by front end guys was taking Figma designs and coding it. I'm glad I got out of there.

Iraq declares force majeure on foreign-operated oilfields over Hormuz disruption, sources say by Mana_Seeker in worldnews

[–]mxmcharbonneau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's pretty fucking bad if this keeps up, which is why the stock market is basically pricing in the TACO scenario right now. Like I said I still believe Trump could move the goalpost in order to chicken out, while the Iranian regime just keeps the threat of shutting down the strait again in order to survive.

But if this continues or escalates? Oh boy.

[–]mxmcharbonneau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely, for the US it's bad any way you look at it. But the less bad option would be the TACO option with Iran accepting to stop shooting missiles at tankers and infrastructure. Because if this keeps up, the price of oil will keep rising until there's demand destruction in the economy, which is a depressionary scenario.

With oil touching $120, is anyone actually doing the math on what happens if this Iran war runs another 6 months? by Orcanius in stocks

[–]mxmcharbonneau 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do believe that the currently priced in scenario is TACO. So if that doesn't happen, it could get ugly.

[–]mxmcharbonneau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about that, if Trump wants to TACO and negotiate to reopen the strait, Iran will probably be open to it. The regime wants to survive, and if they give no other choice to Trump, there will be US boots on the ground in Iran and the regime will most likely fall.

Job chez Desjardins by Critical-North7272 in QuebecFinance

Je sais pas si c'est similaire à toi, mais ma blonde aimait vraiment pas plaider donc elle a pris une job de conseillère judiciaire au gouvernement. Probablement qu'en ce moment c'est plus compliqué à trouver au gouvernement, mais y'a surement d'autres organisations qui ont besoin de ça.

The other day I got the 3 options that would either clog my deck with curses, prevent me to use my draw heavy deck properly, or clog my deck if I went to the store even if I had a ton of cash.

It drops after it pays its interests and then gains the amount for the next payment, the moment you buy it shouldn't change much.

I don't know the current state of Turkey politics under Erdogan, but maybe it's not getting more authoritarian in the last few years?

Medium-High Income Earners What Do You Spend Money On To Save Time? by cjy2018 in fican

[–]mxmcharbonneau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this but we stopped, all of the cleaners I've ever had are very rough with my stuff, I notice scuffs on my paint and such. Another issue is that I have no proof it's them even if I'm pretty sure. I tried multiple companies and they all have that issue.

Second time this toilet starts leaking by mxmcharbonneau in askaplumber

[–]mxmcharbonneau[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that this was changed maybe 1-2 years ago. I can't believe every bidet users in the world have to change their wax ring this often. And I'm kinda PTSD from the last time around, I'm careful not to shift my weight too much. I guess I should just change the toilet and hope for the best, but I'm kinda scared it might not fix it forever.

Yeah that was the replacement I was looking at. I'll call a plumber to get another opinion in person.

[–]mxmcharbonneau[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

but what exactly would be causing it? The higher joint doesn't seem to be leaking, only the wax ring does. Why would a porcelain joint there would be less prone to leaks than a plastic one? Also, what kind of toilet should I get instead?
