Been once, was great, would totally do it again

I have an elitebook g6 running Linux just fine, I’m sure yours can too!

Next you’ll tell me that brown sugar isn’t just brown sugar and table salt isn’t just salt!

I try this and it sometimes helps, but sometimes the “crunching” side starts to throw a cramp too. I should eat more bananas…

One of the previous owners of my house believed in rolling dice for how many Brad nails to use. It could contain anywhere from 1 to 100 in the casing.

I don’t get the calf cramps, but foot or ribs. Ribs are the fucking worst because hiw the fuck do you stretch that out?! I can only reach up so high! It’s not fair!

It doesn’t bother me one bit of you know my search history. You’ll learn I search a word to see if I know your to spell it properly and that I DIY a lot of stuff lol

Lost in chaos!

We have this at my work. Liquid, powder, and freezie form. It’s good shit and has what plants crave!

When someone previously told a vrtx vm not to auto boot after power up and none of the remote access is working either… Both undocumented as well, of course. And your tired AF tech is statically configuring the wrong IP range on their laptop to manu because it’s been a long shutdown day and are also unfamiliar with the system in general (me). Good times, I figured it out though, but lots of sweating and swearing.

I live inside that ring. Bought a 5 bedroom house for around $100k 3ish years ago. Been putting some work into it, hoping to sell in a couple years to move even deeper into the ring.

The biggest problem is employment. I got lucky and landed a great job that pays well. The second problem is cost of food as it highly depends on location. If I drive an hour south or east, I can reduce my food costs by around 30%. Not everyone has that ability because of the bigger problem. Gas price is the 3rd biggest problem, we’re on average 20-30C more per liter than outside the ring.

Then there’s the actual places. So many have very poorly run municipal governments that are full of the dumbest motherfuckers around who sink entire budgets into poorly thought out capital projects and raise taxes for decades after. Poor tax enforcement so that there are many properties with years in outstanding tax debt that doesn’t get collected, which leads to even larger budget shortfalls and more tax increases. Every now and then I’ll see a tax sale listed for $20k+ because the owner died and no remaining family could afford to claim the property because it the outstanding tax debt.

This is why I want to move into the bush where I have no neighbours, because at least the miniscule tax burden is less of a slap in the face when I look outside and see nothing coming back from it.

I’m trying, that’s all that matters :)

Stop it, I’m already on the final days of this run of vacation and I’m spending it doing a Reno and a baseball tournament

Better question, do you want the least educated among us teaching what’s not currently in taught in school? Cause that’s what you’re advocating.

Now it’s obviously not all parents, but the point still stands. The better educated parents are already doing something to teach their kids what’s not in the curriculum, but even amongst them it’s still a small percentage.

Including things like basic taxation and financial education, the voting system, stuff like that. Make it mandatory to go through, if not actually have a passing grade.

Pretty much when I bought my house it’s been mostly grown-up feeling since then. Interest rates, insurance rates, and debt-service ratios are always in the back of my mind now.

Once I pay off my vehicle debt I’ll be able to bankroll a better house outside of town with some land. Assuming shit doesn’t go pear shaped in the next 3-4 years…

Also, playing the “should I dump my bonuses into my RRSP or pay down debt” game… never had medium or longer term goals before.
