I mean, in the case of changing values of currency, physical money isn’t changing anything there. As a Canadian forced to buy many things in USD I am constantly suffering from exchange rate changes which is similar. Money retains the same value in country though unless something goes really wrong at the bank of Canada. This is riskier because of trade and how interdependent nations are today.
I’m not a financial expert here, so some of the things you hit on in your reply I am not familiar with. I’ve never used GICs. RRSPs however can be invested, or sit in cash non-invested. Its the same account type either way.
Some, like BMO Investorline, will charge for it to sit in cash (Investorline charges you $100/month) - BMO Smartfolio won’t let you put things in cash, they say they aren’t setup for that.
I ended up moving my RRSP to an RRSP with my credit union. Its getting moved to an RRSP but it will sit in cash hold, uninvested, until such time as I am ready to put it back into the market. I did this before the 2020 dip as well. You can avoid the bubble popping this way. It doesn’t need to stay on the market.
In Canada at least you can have the funds pulled from the market and put in cash hold until you are comfortable with the market for RRSP/RESP.
Some banks will try to tell you you cannot do this or will charge you $100/month to keep it in cash. If they do, go to another institution and get it moved there. Many credit unions offer the same accounts with zero charges for holding cash.
Much better, aside from some residual health issues from the visit.
Was in the hospital for two months with mono. In ICU on a respirator for 4 weeks of that.
Was fired from my job, evicted from my apartment, and my girlfriend at the time decided to cheat on me while I was in there.
Good times.
It says “seen over” which means in the sky, not sure why people keep guessing things on the ground.
It looks like either something leaving or reentering the atmosphere. Could be yet another Starlink sattelite deorbiting.
Yeah, in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, you can get authentic poutine. It starts getting rare to find a good one the further west you go. Its a French-Canadian cuisine and thus Quebec-centric.
In BC the poutines are usually all wrong. Chicken gravy and shredded cheese instead of room-temp curd and a properly dark beef gravy.
When the place actually tries to make it an original take, its better. Like the Brown’s Social House Rocky Mountain Poutine, or that place that does it with tater tots. 😂
Poutine.
I’m Canadian and I meet all these sterotypes.
Then again, I am mostly Scottish Canadian, and 1/4 Irish.
I say sorry a lot, eh?
Also, “Eh”, there’s no doot aboot that.
I grew up in Quebec until I was 7, and then moved to Ontario half way through the school year for Grade 2.
In Wakefield we were just starting to learn the times tables. In Ottawa, they were finished with them and were just about done division. I never really got to learn either before learning fractions.
As a result, while i can do quadratic equations and fractions in my head, I often struggle to reason out multiplication or division.
My take is that the fediverse is wholesome. Today’s news isn’t but that is our current reality and the topics on a social network will always cover current events.
But when you really pay attention to the people here, they are wholesome. And if what you see is a lot of terrible people in your feed, start watching the instances they are coming from. Frequently the difference between a good and bad experience here is how well you curate your feed and how well your instance is moderated.
I never thought I would have a healthy relationship with ASD+ADHD. I found someone who is my equal and we have an extremely fulfilling relationship that’s full of both amazing fun moments and frustrating ones, but we always understand each other. Which helps with our son as well, as he’s a carbon copy of us.
Starting projects.
I’ll update when I’m gold at finishing them.

Its what makes it more secure. Why do you need a chat app that allows your parents to accidentally stumble into a group of con artists or kids to stumble into things they shouldn’t be exposed to? It’s a messaging app, not gamer group chat.
This is what puts is way ahead of the others.
Unlike the other two, there are no servers that run discoverable group chats.
It’s Twitter in a trenchcoat saying “whats up fellow fediverse apps”.
Religion will become popular again and people still start falling for nonsense like ghosts and superstitions. People born after the 80s don’t really remember just how batshit crazy people went for misinformation before we had the internet.
We need a new internet without corporate bullshit and some integrity in terms of knowledge. But seeing what happened to the current one, I don’t think that will be possible until we kill capitalism.
