Yes - this is very interesting. I sometimes see people bigger than me not even break out in a sweat. But I was born in Africa and lived in Canada since I was 2. My sweat glands are on Africa time...

Get off of social media, and stop reading stuff on LifeHacker or related Kinja sites. ;-) ...well, not really.

I don’t know if its hating numbers or math, so much as the apprehension of seeing the bill come in the mail and dealing with it. That is my problem, which results in not paying bills on time (even though I have the money to pay it off), and getting hit with interest charges and a hit against my credit report since…

Don’t lend money. Ever. Especially to family. True story - “lent” my family $50k (through a line of credit). They cannot pay it back. Rolled it into my mortgage but am paying roughly $3k - $5k in interest per year for the last 5-years. Will I ever see them pay the money back, not a chance in hell. It’s set me back 5+…

Yup - tried all that. Just not happening. Wonder if it’s doing some geolocation stuff and presenting the Canadian price (even though I’m on the .COM site). I’d try with VPN but don’t have it on my work PC. Oh well...

Very weird - just double-checked, and it is indeed the Kindle version.

Looks good - but it’s $6.18 - not $2.00 and I just checked...

Babies are never fine - I’ve been on flights with babies. It was not fine. My wife flew with her sister, who had twin babies. It was not fine. We never flew with our son when he was a baby, his first plane ride was around 3-years old, he was fine at that age.

...and it probably stinks like a car from the 70's with that musty odor. Uggh...

...my wife actually said lets save a lot of money and buy a domestic. If it turns out to be crap... well, we saved a ton to put towards repairs. Huh?! ;-)

I’ve only ever owned one domestic car and it was the worst car I ever had (Chevrolet Corsica). Battery had to be replaced every year. The alternator was rebuilt just as regularly. Worst. Car. Ever. After that fiasco I bought a Camry - in 10-years NOTHING wrong with it. An excellent car. Bought my wife a rebuilt…

Hah! Not a PewDiePie fan - but did like that video. But then, I also do like watching the supercar videos... though, living in Vancouver they are like tin cans. There are dozens of Lambos’ Ferraris’ and now McLarens’ on the street - they don’t turn heads anymore. Seriously, they don’t. Well unless said car has been…

As much as I detest going to CanadianTire - they do hire people that know their parts and many know the application of said parts. Very few people in the auto parts section working behind the counter that do not know their cars or parts.

Some of those make absolute sense - for example, networking. I’m terrible at it, partly because I’m an introvert and I’m at a place in my life and career that I’m tired of sucking up to anyone. My son on the other hand is a natural born networker and big time extrovert. You know those social experiments that you see…

Like the article says, you really need to be cautious. In Canada most of the dollar stores also carry brand name stuff, that’s put out by the distributor (i.e., pop [Coke/Pepsi], chips [Doritos]) who takes the old expired product and replaces with newer. I’ve never had stale chips or flat pop but I suspect it’s stuff…

This works also.

Ummm....no, this is the one we’ve all been waiting for.

Does Tesla’s system work in the city? All the videos I’ve seen mostly show it on highways.

Would love to see this type of analysis for Canadian cable companies like Shaw, Telus and all the others that offer cable + internet.

Just watched that again, and he actually used the word “magical” - I thought that was TM by Apple. Only Apple can be “magical”.
