I work a 4/3, my normal weekends are long weekends. Stat holiday Mondays make for an extra long weekend. Canada Day was a Tuesday this year so I took Monday off and got a 5 day weekend in exchange for 1 vacation day.

nap is 18 and bedtime is 20

Oh wow, this article title matches the error I’m seeing! And the body elaborates in the witnessed behaviour!

Oh, a link to the resolution? Ok… 💥Paywall.

I nuke mine, but otherwise, ya

An apt clip from A Bugs Life

My water is too bougie and I can’t morally exploit it into poverty… Elevated plate it is.

Tell me about it. I’ve voted for the party that best represents me for a while now. This election is wholly different as the incumbent is retiring and not up for re-election. My liberal choice is a “get in by any means” type who rolled as conservative two elections ago. I really like Carney but when it comes to voting strategically I’m not sure I can do it with the liberal candidate in my district, so may still go NDP. My district has no actual polling data either, just estimates, so that makes it all the more murky.

Oh I have no idea

This is Celine Dion we’re talking about, her talent transcends

Thought the same thing, actually elated after reading the bottom text because it wasn’t.

I’m taking a doombreak from doompurging my house into a doomdumpster. Doomspringcleaning if you doomwill. Doomday to you.

London Ontario, not London England

Have you tried turning them off and back on again?

At that point, good thing it wasn’t a bad trip on shrooms

Right at the onset of March break too, how disheartening…

Lightning bugs, aka Fireflies, are harmless. Their little butts just emit flashes of light from internal chemical reaction, like a short lived glow stick. If you encounter a field with a bunch of them, it’s real pretty.

I’d say an equally large issue is that of people not voting in Ontario. The election last month saw our 2nd lowest turn out in recent history, with the lowest being the election before.

I’d love ranked choice, but I’d settle for proportional. Ontario’s apathy towards voting due to “my vote won’t matter” or “I don’t like either option” is stupid and frustrating.

I think grammatically they meant you could also get your face revoked, leading into the following sentence of being shot down.

The other side of that coin is the cost of commuting to work, assuming you live where you work presently.

You’ll have to consider gas and/or public transportation if you’re commuting 2 hours daily for work or school. That doubles if your girlfriend will be commuting separately. Insurance may also increase if they consider your communiting distance, but definitely for annual mileage.

On top of commuting, have you considered your utilities such as gas, electricity, and internet?

That $500/month, is it for an apartment to yourselves or a room in a rooming house? If it’s a rooming house, there are other costs to consider like stolen food, cleaning and hygiene products. Lost time due to roommates not cleaning up after themselves. Other problems like the other people being psychotic.

If it’s for an apartment you’ll have to yourselves, just consider why it’s only $500/month over and above it being an hour away. Is there heavy crime in the area? Is there high joblessness in the area? Is it falling apart and/or moldy? Are there multiple apartments in the same town as low as that or is this a one-off, which makes it even more suspect.

Generally speaking, if possible you want to keep your housing expenses under 33% of your net income. So even $1k/mo you’re under that. 66% of your net income not going to housing expenses means you should be able to spend decently on food, wants, other needs, and savings.

Take time to consider all that and look for free financial literacy education. Being financially literate goes a hell of a long way to not putting yourself in the shit.

Samsung SSDs are quite competitive on pricing these days. I saw some on Newegg.ca for under CAD$250 for 2TB which is pretty good.

When you’re looking, just keep in mind the requirements from Sony, mainly sizing because it would suck to buy something that doesn’t fit. Pay special attention to dimensions if you decide to go with a heatsinked stick.
