Have you heard Wab Kinew speak? He's got my vote. First politician I've ever heard speaking real shit. Maybe he's full of shit and will fuck it all up, but I have hope. I agree that Jagmeet shouldn't get a 10th chance.
I am business dumb, but I have a very unique mix of skills I would like to turn into a side hustle. Needless to say, there is going to be a huge learning curve for me....
I worked for 20 years as a marine canvas and upholstery guy. I've since quit and started running my own show. If I was trying to learn the trade and learn businessing at the same time I'd have totally failed. The business part isn't really hard, but it's meticulous and a bit unforgiving. I find you only find out what you're doing wrong after you've done it for a year. Getting the taxes wrong will absolutely fuck you up, six ways from Sunday. The best advice I got was from my brother (who fucked up his taxes) was to save 30% of everything you make in preparation for a tax remittance. I've found that to be higher than necessary, but that just means I saved money.
I couldn't find an accountant would take me on for the first few years so I had to bumble along myself. I started out using quickbooks and honestly, most of my problems were from using it wrong. I should have taken classes and read books and stuff but I was a bit overburdened and stressed out from trying to manage it all.
I've settled on 20% as a good number. Even that may be high, but I like the forced savings.
I have a pixel 7 and it's totally garbage. I read a tip that you should set your fingerprint with the brightness on as low as it goes, and in a dark room. It's better with that tip, but still shite.

I usually take the chess/checkers idiom to be more like "the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing" Not that one is smart and one is dumb, but that they're going in completely different directions and playing by different rules.
The insect glue, produced from edible oils, was inspired by plants such as sundews that use the strategy to capture their prey. A key advantage of physical pesticides over toxic pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies, while bigger...
I've been wondering about that. Do you think the Trump office is a fun place to be? Do you think people are laughing and joking around? I imagine they're deadly serious all the time and only ever laugh to mock someone. I imagine it's absolutely miserable and highly stressful.

I had TD pit overdraft protection on my account without my consent (or coerced/implied consent) and I was livid. I went to the bank and demanded they take it off and they did immediately. They refunded the charges and gave me 2 months free of the service charge. Still mad about the asshole on the phone but the tellers are great at my bank.

That's a good idea. I've blocked so much almost all I get is depressing news. They need to let you export blocked lists. Mines so long it's probably worth something.
During a bad day the bosses mom asked me why I wasn't my usual chipper self. I said if you want me to smile all day every day I need paid more. Then the boss yanged at me "why are you telling mother you want paid more?!?" and I told him, because I want paid more.

This is totally dumb. I wouldn't want one attached to my building. How heavy are they? I'm guessing it doesn't snow there? How do you weed it when it invariably gets infested with weeds. The irrigation system is sure to break, how do you service that? This will look like absolute shit in a year.
I make canvas and awnings. Shade sails are almost always really stupid. Big bucks for very little bang. Most of the day you end up with a wee thong shadow halfway up the wall
