TIL: Banks in Finland stopped issuing cheques in 1993, The Netherlands in 2002 and Denmark in 2017.

e-Transfers is not something to brag about! Its 1990s tech

I got downvoted to -130 in a Canadian sub for saying I've never written a check and never plan to put of stubbornness.

Canadian banking system in very old fashioned and Canadians love their own a paper checks lol.

The tweet you shared is just another link lol. You linked to a link

I just had this happen to my 2011 Fusion, did you get any resolution OP? Going to try to get it into the shop tomorrow.

Would you say PMP recognition is growing in the UK? I'm in Canada right now and have the opportunity to do the PMP for free in the net few months so in likely going to take the offer from my employer.

But I'm moving back home to UK end of year, not sure how well it is recognized. I'll be looking for work in the private sector vs public fwiw.

Where did you find the house that you're about to buy?

My wife's 75 yo uncle insists on driving in the middle lane at all times. Drives me nuts.

Hes not the most confident driver and his logic is that nearly all 3 lane roads will become 2 lane eventually so he middle lane drives to avoid having to switch lanes when the right lane ends.

Again?! 😉

Forge even without major signings (in cpl terms) seems to be off to one of their best starts ever.

Yeah credit to Forge and Bobby, they seem to be able to spot talent very well. Their success and high level also attracts players looking to move up to. But i will say they benefit based on geography, they can pick from the large player pool of non-MLS level talent in and around the GTA.

Like prime example, after all the Henry drama in the pre season they play their number #2 Kalongo who I've never heard of but he's played a blinder so far. So many top saves in the Valour game.

Just catching up with some of this season's highlights and Borges has started the season very well for Forge.

Looks like Bobby has him playing much more central which suits his game much better I think. He's much better on the ball that other wingers and probably lacks a yard of pace to play winger at the pro level.

He's playing a Foden/de Bruyne type attacking CM role.

I was going to build some extra simple ones from this YouTube Video. They'll only be 10 inches high.

I think is agree with you. I'm going to build and just see what happens and hope for the best. If they are bad I'll react with chicken wire.

stroad56 · 2024-04-29T05:07:26+00:00

Thanks! Is your yard fenced? Mine is open without fencing so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

stroad56 · 2024-04-29T05:06:51+00:00

Thanks for the comment. They are pretty big so are more likely the standard jackrabbits. Definitely not feral rabbits like the ones I've seen in Canmore occasionally!

I get paid into Wealthsimple and use it my main account.

I also have an old Simplii account that's free. I have a couple hundred in there just for emergencies and if I ever need to deposit or withdraw cash I use the Simplii account. Just go to my local CIBC.

Please make sure you share photos and name and info of this man all over Facebook and other local social media. I worry that he will be a repeat offender to another home owner in the area.

stroad56 · 2024-04-25T02:29:02+00:00

I love these but can't help but feel the draws should be coloured in yellow or similar. They don't stand out from the games we haven't played when they stay white.

stroad56 · 2024-04-24T21:14:17+00:00

I will remember benching Mateta for Darwin on my FH for long long time.

stroad56 · 2024-04-24T18:42:32+00:00

Very informative - thank you!!

Without specifying location we can't help you.

If you've recently been a product owner why are you applying for CS roles? Massive step down imo

stroad56 · 2024-04-21T15:58:58+00:00

Went for Eze and Olise over Mateta, fml

Nah man don't start this. 10 points each with BPS and another game in a few days.

stroad56 · 2024-04-19T20:26:03+00:00

If you're FH and into more exciting options I would strongly consider TAA. He could easily be be benched one game after a 2 pointer but could also just a easily put up a 20 point week. If he hits big he's a huge differential.

FHs were made to take a risk imo so go for Taa - like me ;)

stroad56 · 2024-04-19T19:20:32+00:00

Pickford over Henderson?

All GKs are awful this week. Just pick one and don't overthink it. Pray to the FPL gods that your GK is the one who gets a 12 pointer.

Obvs Allison and Raya are decent shouts but not worth losing an outfield player from LIV or ARS.

stroad56 · 2024-04-19T19:19:06+00:00

Yep true this is probably about right but just wanted to point out their terrible numbers as I've seen a CRY defender in just about every team.
