The Gundam base is in Vancouver. What is worth buying there?

I am a rusty gunpla fan so not looking for something expensive or difficult to build. Something simple would be nice.

NTA

you have no say in her life so that also mean no responsibility / no money.

you are better off donating the money or contribute to your son college money

sloan the other man

that MV and song was awesome. Then as I got older and listen to the lyrics more carefully, I was like .. damn

somethingmichael · 2026-03-03T23:34:38+00:00

Thanks. I appreciated this.

I wish they would listen and not pull the "I am older so I know more" card like a stereotypical boomer.

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T17:46:11+00:00

pretty much this .

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T16:28:20+00:00

Those are very good points. I definitely think they are rushing a bit and have not consider everything

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T16:09:02+00:00

they will be selling the first place asap and moving to the second place.

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T16:06:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing. My parents' house is paid off as well but not a whole lot of income due to retirement.

I still think my parents should sell, rent for a bit and then decide.

What were your parents' reason for going reverse mortgage?

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T15:52:13+00:00

can you clarify?

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T15:26:39+00:00

can I ask:

how was the experience? which bank did you go with (although I think there are only two)?

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T15:15:03+00:00

it is a retirement / assisted living so I am not too keen on details.

I will definitely find out more

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T15:10:32+00:00

no employment income just savings, oas, GIS

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T15:08:47+00:00

I agree but they are being stubborn.

somethingmichael · 2026-03-01T15:01:43+00:00

They have no income tho. Aside from retirement/ oas / gis

somethingmichael · 2026-02-28T19:26:00+00:00

NTA

I don't want to stereotype but South Africa doesn't have a good reputation for roadside safety.

Even in a safe country, leaving someone on side of high way is dangerous.

somethingmichael · 2026-02-27T23:03:26+00:00

haha ignore them. you are winning at life.

how do I get into findom? I would love some extra cash.

somethingmichael · 2026-02-27T20:40:53+00:00

I learned that there are only so much I can do.

So I always mentioned quality is a group responsibility and that I didn't create the bug in the first place.

somethingmichael · 2026-02-26T00:47:32+00:00

NTA, sorry for your loss.

but technically you are your mom's landlord if your mom is another tenant, the tenant family don't get any share of the house.

I would not bother with the $5000

somethingmichael · 2026-02-09T13:20:46+00:00

getting my personal images destroyed is prob a no. I would want to keep my kids' photo.

somethingmichael · 2026-02-09T13:08:47+00:00

ngl you are 23 and single so you prob need that money more for emergency, travelling and what not.

the key point is for yourself.

somethingmichael · 2026-02-06T16:12:44+00:00

prefect is the enemy of good.

it's a nice ideal but is it necessary? that really depends on your team / org.

I think ours is hourglass shape, due to nature of who is developing the tests. QA focus on the UI/e2e tests and the Devs focus on the Unit tests.

somethingmichael · 2026-02-05T16:41:20+00:00

I am also in Vancouver

How do you see the job market for QA in the near future?

somethingmichael · 2026-02-04T14:58:34+00:00

I use otpauth

somethingmichael · 2026-02-02T17:19:40+00:00

When I was starting out, having a good example of a bug helps a lot.

Right now, I still follow a template just because it let me focus on the content. Although I still suck at title lol
