I think grammatically they meant you could also get your face revoked, leading into the following sentence of being shot down.

The other side of that coin is the cost of commuting to work, assuming you live where you work presently.

You'll have to consider gas and/or public transportation if you're commuting 2 hours daily for work or school. That doubles if your girlfriend will be commuting separately. Insurance may also increase if they consider your communiting distance, but definitely for annual mileage.

On top of commuting, have you considered your utilities such as gas, electricity, and internet?

That $500/month, is it for an apartment to yourselves or a room in a rooming house? If it's a rooming house, there are other costs to consider like stolen food, cleaning and hygiene products. Lost time due to roommates not cleaning up after themselves. Other problems like the other people being psychotic.

If it's for an apartment you'll have to yourselves, just consider why it's only $500/month over and above it being an hour away. Is there heavy crime in the area? Is there high joblessness in the area? Is it falling apart and/or moldy? Are there multiple apartments in the same town as low as that or is this a one-off, which makes it even more suspect.

Generally speaking, if possible you want to keep your housing expenses under 33% of your net income. So even $1k/mo you're under that. 66% of your net income not going to housing expenses means you should be able to spend decently on food, wants, other needs, and savings.

Take time to consider all that and look for free financial literacy education. Being financially literate goes a hell of a long way to not putting yourself in the shit.

Samsung SSDs are quite competitive on pricing these days. I saw some on Newegg.ca for under CAD$250 for 2TB which is pretty good.

When you're looking, just keep in mind the requirements from Sony, mainly sizing because it would suck to buy something that doesn't fit. Pay special attention to dimensions if you decide to go with a heatsinked stick.

Surprisingly, yes. I made some risky decisions between 2020-2022 that paid off significantly, though.

The pandemic turned my prior job to 100% remote and I got in writing from their HR that I could move anywhere in my province. This allowed me to find a house I was able to afford buying, so that's what I did with the support of my wife. About a year after that I got a much higher paying job local to my new home, which is when I beat or matched my parent's income at the time which certainly was more than when she was my age.

I lept into the unknown and didn't die, it's been great!

More people voting could have actually changed everything. I clicked through probably 2 dozen ridings on elections.on.ca > unofficial results and only 2 had a margin greater than ~7k and some were under 1k.

Mushkegowuk—James Bay has a margin of 4.

My own riding saw the NDP incumbent also win, but only by a margin of ~1600 while being one of the higher voter turnout outs of ~51%.

Barely an increase over the last election, roughly 1.9%. This makes it the 2nd lowest voter turnout in recent history.

I really hope the promise to remove the minimum price of liquor doesn't sway people to vote for him... Reducing the minimum for beer did nothing to drop the cost of beer. Pretty sure the companies just pocketed the difference and the same will happen with liquor.

Psilocybin is the bees knees, highly recommend. Not even in a "get chooched" kinda way either. Use a little to make a tea and just exist after drinking it.

Do something safe that requires concentration, like drawing, writing or playing an adventure video game (light on the action, no horror, really as little violence as possible). You could also straight up do nothing but exercise mindfulness with a long meditation.

If you're worried about the legality or safety of acquiring it, use a prepaid credit that you buy with cash and order it online.

Microdosing is also totally reasonable, bearing in mind that there are stains just like there are with weed. Some will do a body buzz, some will boost your energy and some will boost mindfulness.

Apparently phone too! Like 3 cards down was another post linking to instructions on how to run it locally on a phone in a container app or termux. Really interesting. I may try it out in a vm on my server.
