Paying for the overpriced Toronto home takes a big chunk for so I don’t have to drive more than 15 min to work.

I need that time to break my mind free from work.

% of your total monthly budget spent on food: 2.1% - $50 a week in to Toronto.

Try the reduced produce rack. Anything I pick up there at a huge discount is immediately cut up, tossed into zip lock bags and frozen. The store always has an abundance of apples and other fruit, veggies are a little more rare. Some stuff is in bad shape, but only about 5% waste so far. Extra bonus when you get 6 ripe…

They'd probably give you a parking ticket for parking on your lawn.

Smoke your weed when you're done work. Often, I have my vape pen when leaving the office on the way to the gym.

You know all those "DO NOT EAT" mustard packets you get when you open a new product? They're great at absorbing moisture.

If your temperature stays below 365 F, your weed will be fine.

4 times the cat videos can be watched simultaneously.

For the ones that make it through, I use these calls for entertainment. I feign a cold war accent and string them along with absurdity until one of us can't take it anymore.

If you win and they don't pay, sell their debt to a debt collection agency. At least you'll get some money out of it and the agency can do its ugly thing that all of us hate.

Yes! $15K / yr for tuition ($6K) rent ($5K) food/beer ($4K), got my Computer Science degree with Honours (it took me 5 years though because it was harder than I could muster in 4).

If you're doing a vegtable garden, cover your soil with gardening felt. Put holes where you're planting. It will keep your soil in the shade in the day, and prevent weeds from growing. More time you can spend on training and pruning them.

I made this mistake after my 2nd interview and was called by recruitment with an offer for my job. My salary range was given during the interview, and they offered right in the middle. I accepted and the guy on the phone sounded suprised. I'm above that range now, but realize now that it was negotiable at that time…

Did you get a Computer Science or Engineering degree, or did your director simply tack on "Engineer" to the end of the job title?

I love OwnCloud. I have it running on my old, repurposed gaming box (now running Windows Server 2008 R2) with some rules put into my router for port forwarding.

I have the model similar to the one in the picture (WRT160N). I purchased 2 x 9 dBi antennas and connectors, a small fan, and installed them in the router with DD-WRT.

I agree with "do both".
