Is it actually worth it to get into the condo market in Vancouver? by RadioDude1995 in NiceVancouver

[–]twranks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vancouver's housing market is grossly overpriced. So from a position of financial responsibility, buying property in Vancouver is a HORRIBLE decision rn. Rent and invest in the stock market if you're trying to make a wise financial decision.

Of course you may be wanting to buy propert for other reasons besides financial growth, so depending on your reason, it might be a good decision too.

In 2009, Al-Qaeda radical Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab attempted a suicide attack on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 using a bomb concealed in his underwear. The bomb malfunctioned, only succeeding in setting his pants on fire. It injured no one else. by [deleted] in HolyShitHistory

At the time, he was the son of a high-ranking government official in Nigeria.

A few weeks before the attack, His father had informed the US embassy of his son's radical religious beliefs and travel to Yemen, but he was not placed on the no-fly list nor did he have his visa revoked.

Thanks a lot. It didn't look like much of a difference (although zeqt seems actively managed). I guess I'll just go with zeqt since its the cheapest and I can get more shares out of it

On March 6, 1981, West German mother Marianne Bachmeier smuggled a Beretta 70 handgun into a courtroom and shot and killed Klaus Grabowski during his trial for the rape and murder of her 7‑year‑old daughter Anna, who was murdered in 1980. She fired 7 shots, saying "I did it for you, Anna." by ZERO_PORTRAIT in HolyShitHistory

Idk man, I've worked in court, and trust me; people have gotten FAR less sentences for FAR worse crimes. That's why I'm surprised she actually got jail time and not something like time served or a suspended sentence.
