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.

When I first started learning PCs and Linux, I just went to the local thrift stores and Value Village. Even today people turn in all kinds of perfectly working compute hardware, mostly just old. Consumer stuff doesn’t retain much resale value and many cannot be bothered with trying to sell it, so it ends up in the dump, at the recyclers, in thrift stores, or on classified ads like Craig’s list, kijiji and the like.

EBay usually only sees the stuff that can fetch a worthwhile dollar.

Yeah, endeavouros repos just include their installers and setup tools. The OS uses arch repos.

30 years of using Linux and I think this chart is whack. RPM based distros run by enterpises are the worst. I was happier with Slackware than Fedora. 🤣 I only use those when work forces me too and after the CentOS and SLES fiascos - F that noise. I’ll only recommend debian for work servers unless there are STIG/FedRAMP security requirements and then it’s begrudgingly over to Ubuntu.

When work isn’t in the way: EndeavourOS on my desktop, Debian on my servers, and debian/alpine for my containers or better yet; golang and scratch.

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.

Hence the groups having the ticket name related to the task I am working on. When the task closes I delete that group once I’ve ensured anything important for future context is documented and then I say goodbye with confidence.

I don’t bookmark things for work tasks, I log them in tickets or commit it to readme/code comments/team docs somewhere.

Edit: I should also note that my workflow uses Simple Tab Groups and not much of this new core feature.

Simple tab groups hides all other tabs and you switch groups via a dropdown. I usually only have 10-12 tabs open at once.

It’s Twitter in a trenchcoat saying “whats up fellow fediverse apps”.

Agile and task reprioritization at work.

Too many projects to work on at home.

Games.

The way they did it though… the tab group name cant be collapsed so it takes a lot of room. I find I’m still using task oriented groups from the Simple Tab Groups extension, and then using the new core groups feature as a way to group subtopics for that task.

And before you say “you must have a million tabs”… I used to have millions of tabs, but now i average less than 100 when I have a lot of tasks I need to balance, and I know what all of them are open for. So when I complete a task I delete the Simple Tab Group and say bye to all those tabs.

This is where I’ve gotten to with their games as well. I love them, but tired of it basically becoming an MMORPG DLC subscription.

Most of the game genres they excel at are the type I like buying and playing because they are complete from day one, and you maybe get 1 to 3 DLCs. Like movies, the trilogy (original game and two nice DLCs) is the sweet spot.

Stellaris got insane and most of the individual races should have been bundled somehow into larger expansion packs.

It will become Seamonkey?

Mandrake was my first Linux OS.

Was Canadian, its owned by a Japanese company since 2010

OCRemix.Org already does this with their music, so its possible.

Holoscenic calendar. I get mine from Kurzgesagt every year.
